173/365 Need Food Inspiration?

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

My friend Allison showed me a lovely foodie blog called food52. It's a fun place to find creative recipes from cooks and other food loving friends. As with any recipe, you want to read the ingredients first. If something is asking for shortening, stay away and find an alternative. If it is asking for an absurd amount of sugar, like more than 2 cups, cut it down to 1.5 cups; it will taste just as good and not get you closer to having diabetes. You can always add more vegetables and subtract meat from entrees. Peel the skin and fat off of meat when possible. Skim the fat off of leftovers when you can.

In health,

Lauren
