Lightened Up

A collection of recipes that taste good and make you feel good!

These recipes use lean meat, veggies, and lighter ingredients but still deliver tons of flavor, such as my Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad, One-Pan Lemon Parmesan Pasta (which uses milk instead of heavy cream).

Enjoy my Chicken Tzatziki Casserole, my Street Corn Chicken Bowls, and more guilt-free favorites.
