Making healthier lifestyle choices doesn't mean sacrificing flavor or favorite foods. Lightening-up your food choices, paying attention to portion size and being physically active can help you enjoy your favorite foods sensibly. This week’s recipes either feature lower-calorie versions of popular dishes or incorporate portion-control in their preparation.
Enjoy maximum taste with this week’s featured family meal. Each of the Mini Chile Relleno Casseroles bakes in its own single-serving dish to help you control portion sizes. Serve them with Warm Corn and Tomato Salad and Fruit Juice Coolers for a satisfying meal. After dinner, take a walk around the block together as a family for maximum healthy-lifestyle benefit.
Other great low-calorie, full-flavor recipes to try this week include Orzo with Spinach and Feta, Italian Fennel Stir Fry, Super-Fast Smoothies and Delicious Squash Soup.
Be sure to add these and other recipes to your family meal plan and shopping list.
