If there was ever a time to indulge, it’s during the holidays. But, it’s a new year and time to start making some changes. Sometimes we just need a little push to eat healthier. One meal at a time and suddenly you don’t miss chocolate cake. Who are we kidding… we’ll always miss a decadent slice of cake. But, if we’re eating healthier recipes throughout the day that opens some calories for a small slice (balance, right?!). We hope these 15 recipes will kickstart a healthier eating habit and give you menu ideas.
