Fresh Ideas for Spring

Step away from the Mac & Cheese. It's Spring and soon we'll be shedding layers and exposing what's been hidden under our sweaters all winter long. Time for lighter fare and healthy alternatives. Here are some how-tos that are not just for getting you back into bathing suit shape but also for educating you on how to eat healthier all the time (with the occasional splurge here and there of course).

Roll With It, Baby

Sushi. Yes, you can do it! Jacky & Kin make it easy. These guys are great. They walk you through every step from how to choose sushi-grade fish to making perfect sticky rice to creating beautiful sushi rolls. Making sushi will open a whole new world to you, whether you use raw fish or cooked ingredients like crab or even mango. Experiment. Have fun with it. Roll with it.

Meatloaf & Tacos — Without the Guilt

Typically meatloaf and tacos aren't something we'd put on our healthy eating list. But now you can. Try Todd's Low-Fat Meatloaf and reduce your fat intake from an average of 20 grams of fat per serving to ONLY 2! Todd's creative ideas like replacing butter w/ vegetable puree make this old favorite figure friendly. And make your next taco a guilt-free one by replacing beef with bulgar. Bulgar is a healthy, lean grain as are many other Whole Grains that Todd teaches you about. These are how-tos that may truly make a healthier you. Give them a try.
