Hey everyone! Well, summer is here and you know what that
means: patio dinners, picnics in the park and, of course, some tasty adult
beverages. Now, before you start thinking that you can’t do ANY of this because
you don’t want to blow your healthy eating plan, think again. I’m here to share
my favorite healthy (and freaking amazing) summer dishes with you! So, sit
back, enjoy, and start soaking in all of this summery goodness!
Grilled Steak & Chicken Kabobs – Oh my, I don’t quite
have the words for these tasty treats, but let’s just say you can eat a few of
them and not feel one ounce of guilt! This recipe is pretty easy, simply
marinate/season your meat in your favorite flavor, slap it on a skewer with some
yummy vegetables, cook until it’s done, and then voila! It’s done! But, for those of you who are like me and require a recipe
to follow, check out this

Scallop Tacos – I don’t know about you, but I absolutely adore
seafood and everything about it. So, what better way to enjoy it than by putting
it in tacos, right?! Check out this recipe for scallop
tacos; you won’t be disappointed!
Whole Grain Pasta Primavera – Just because I’ve lost 100
pounds doesn’t mean that I’ve lost my pasta cravings. Seriously, I eat pasta at
every chance I get, and pride myself on my ability to make it healthy! At least
two nights a week you can find me in the kitchen whipping up a healthy pasta
creation that weighs in around 210 calories, but tastes every bit of 1700
calories. This whole
grain pasta primavera recipe does exactly that! Pair this delicious dish
with a side of fruit salad and a guilt-free
cocktail, and you’ve got yourself the perfect little summer dinner!
Mini Sweet-Zza’s – Just because you’re eating healthy doesn’t
mean you have to send your sweet tooth packing; embrace your sweet tooth! You’d
be amazed at how easy it is to make your favorite calorie packed dessert into a
healthy treat. These mini
sweet-zza’s are no different; they take the idea of pizza and use it as
inspiration for this healthy little snack. Serve these adorable little desserts
at your next barbeque, and you’re sure to become everyone’s favorite host.
Zucchini Parmesan Crisps – Hate eating your vegetables? Not
anymore! These zucchini parmesan crisps make eating your vegetables so freaking good, you’ll swear
you’re eating French fries. I never used to like zucchini until I discovered a
way to make it taste like it’s been deep fried in oil and cheese. But, who can
blame me?!
These are just a few of my favorite healthy summer recipes;
