For dinner tonight we had Brady’s parents and our friends Dave and Jean over for dinner! Everything on the menu was light and healthy! These recipes are easy and will be fun to put into the dinner rotation because they are classic winter time food and they make great leftovers.

Napkin of the Night!

No Guilt Apple Crisp

I have been swamped lately with family in town this weekend, school, starting grad school, finishing my nutritionist certification and trying to live a normal life (working out and cooking :). Sorry for the inconsistent posts! I am keep you informed of anything interesting though, and leaving out the more boring stuff that there isn’t time for (delicious oats usually inspired by Kath! sandwich ideas from Tina)
