These Guilt-Free Wraps Will Help You Watch Your Figure

I have finally admitted it to myself. I need to shed a couple of pounds. And by “couple” I mean about twelve. That wouldn’t be so bad but, you know, I just love food!

I’ve never really been on a diet and I don’t intend to start one now, because I doubt I would be able to follow strict rules on what I was allowed to eat and what I wasn’t. That’s why I’ve decided to collect a bunch of recipes that are healthy and lean, but most importantly really delicious! This way I won’t feel like I have to compromise on anything.

This was one of the first recipes I searched for. I knew these were tasty because my friend had made them for a party earlier, and they disappeared faster than anyone of us could say “lettuce wrap”! It was unbelievable – even the guys were hauling these on their plates like crazy, not even looking at the more traditional bacon appetizers that she was serving.

Quick Tip: You could use ground chicken instead of chopping the cooked chicken breasts.

Warm your belly with this hearty steak and cheese soup. Super creamy and a nice alternative form your ordinary chicken soup, this one will be a hit at the dinner table!

Tender beef and loads of fresh onions, peppers, mushrooms, and creamy cheese load up this soup. With a quick 15 minutes prep time this is a cinch to throw together. This recipe serves 6-7 and is one you need to try!

Chicken Chasseur is a savory, rustic French recipe that makes for great comfort food during the colder times of year. The sauce (which itself has plenty of mushrooms and tomatoes) goes nicely over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, and even a variety of different veggies.

I’m so thrilled every time I come across a new chicken recipe. I’m even more excited when the recipe seems completely different to the ones I’ve tried before. I do enjoy all the yummy, creamy ones and I’ve found some of my favorite recipes among them. But sometimes you get a bit tired of them – that’s when you know it’s time for a change.

You know how, once in a while, you feel the need to start a diet? Maybe not even a diet, per se – you just want to get rid of a couple of extra pounds or generally feel more energetic. Many of my friends swear by a low-carb diet. I haven’t tried it – mainly because I love bread so much that I think I’d go crazy after a couple of days! But when I found this incredible recipe and tried it, it blew my mind.

This isn’t your grandmother’s recipe, but this Bacon-Topped Green Bean Casserole will be at least as well received at any gathering. It takes 40 minutes of prep and bakes in half an hour – now, that’s what I call a breeze! Make it right away, or chill until you are ready. I think that I have seen some version of green bean casserole show up at most every formal Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas meal to which I have ever been. Though it was usually good, I more often than not thought that it would be much better with an upgrade. Well, this is the upgrade. Yum!

These Oven-Toasted Cheesesteak Sandwiches are so filling and savory, and they only take about half an hour to put together (maybe just a little longer if you have to slice the meat yourself).  This really is a fantastic, low-hassle subway sandwich, great for an easy meal at home. If you like the traditional Philly cheesesteak, you’ll love this sandwich, and it’s really surprisingly quick and easy to put together.  Gotta love that meat & cheese combo!
