Thank-you Leigh Anne for the recipe!! These are delicious! It is absolutely amazing all the food items that are Body Smart approved.

Body Smart Zucchini Chips

Cheese makes veggies taste amazing! And this crispy treat made my day.

Hearty Dinner

Yummmm. Filling up my stomach with a dinner of salmon and avocado. Add my iced green tea drink and this dinner is satisfying beyond belief.

Light Potato Cakes

I had a craving for potatoes and ended up modifying a recipe for potato cakes to be a tad more Joan friendly. I boiled some red skinned potatoes in water with some garlic cloves and mashed them all. Then, I added parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and some five grain hot cereal (in place of bread crumbs). I shaped the cakes, let them sit in the fridge for an hour, then started to brown them in a pan.

I am making note to not eat these at dinner or eat more than one at a time, and I will definitely always eat them with some protein. But, dang did they satisfy my craving. Success!!

Modification

Many Body Smart recipes are very versatile. For instance, I took the Light Macaroni & Cheese recipe and turned it into Cheesy Brown Rice! So tasty (well, there's cheese, so I guess no wrong could be done). I added some cauliflower to the mix and it makes an awesome side dish for grilled chicken breast. Yum.

Body Smart Spicy Shredded Chicken

A little spice to satisfy a Mexican food craving. And this recipe does not disappoint.

Body Smart Green Chili Pork With Mushrooms

Green chili delight!
