Here is a delicious low-fat dish that is great for summer time cook outs and get togethers. I have listed some veggies that you can use, however feel free to add or subtract what ever you like. I usually use what ever I have on hand. The pictured dish has all ingredients listed below and yes we had it as a side dish last night! I was also able to pick a few fresh basil leaves from the garden and throw them in (pictured below). Yummy!

We grow yellow squash in our garden every year. This is one of our favorite summer side dishes. It is quick and easy. I was at the grocery store today and saw the “baby” yellow squash and just couldn’t resist. As summer approaches, I will be sharing many more squash recipes. Stay tuned.

Alright! So here it is. My big announcement. I weighed in Monday morning and behold! I finally hit the big 25! That’s twenty-five pounds! Gone. Vanished. Disappeared. Elvis has left the building! Or at least 25 pounds of Elvis. =) I waited until today to tell you because I wanted to make sure I would maintain the loss, which I have, all week. I’m actually down 28 pounds as of this morning. But who’s counting? Ahhhh, I am!!!

Today’s post is more of a healthy snack than a recipe. On my journey to loose weight I have replaced most of my snacks with healthy alternatives. Vegetables are at the top of my new menu! I eat alot of raw vegetables with low-fat dips, which I will share in a minute.

Here is one you can set and forget. This low-fat crock pot chicken recipe
is delicious! I get this one ready before work and when I get home, presto, it’s done!

I cooked my first stir fry back when I was thirteen years old. My mom bought one of those hand-hammered woks that used to be hawked on TV back in the eighties. Remember that? Thanks mom! Anyway, stir fry’s are one of my favorite dishes.

 
In our family, wraps are extremely popular. I make all kinds of wraps. This is one of my Tex-Mex versions. As usual, it’s a low-fat recipe, but don’t be scared, it’s delicious! As always, when in season, use garden fresh veggies!

Here is a delicious low fat, low calorie snack. I found a tortilla with 0 fat grams and 90 calories per 2 tortillas! (that’s 8 chips) Add home made salsa and you’re in heaven!
