100 Recipes for Weight Loss & Healthy Living in 2016

We’re ringing in the new year with 100 recipes for weight loss and healthy living – from appetizers to desserts! Who said healthy eating is boring?!

How I love the new year, for both the feeling of renewal and the prospect of good things to come (including great food!). Whether healthy eating has been your game plan for awhile now, or you’re sticking your toe into the water for the first time, I have a fantastic list of healthy recipes that will keep you inspired and excited about eating meals that will fuel your body while keeping your stomach and tastebuds satisfied.

Plus, I have an exciting announcement that will help you to reach your healthy living goals for this year.

And announcing…

To help you get motivated about embracing a healthier new year, I am excited to announce that I’ve teamed up again with with my friend Liz of The Lemon Bowl to host our second annual Healthy New Year 6-Week Challenge! Last year was a huge success and we were inspired by so many of you who made lifestyle changes. Each week we will be focusing on a different topic to help guide you to a healthier, happier lifestyle.

The first challenge begins on Monday, January 4th so be sure to join our Facebook group today to stay up-to-date on news, updates and BIG giveaways you won’t want to miss! Our goal is to create a friendly, safe and fun online community where we will support and encourage one another as we navigate towards a #HealthyNewYear.
