Morning Snack

Cottage cheese with mixed tropical fruit is a delicious and healthy morning snack. It is easy to whip together and is very light and refreshing. Take 1/4 cup of your favorite cottage cheese and top it with fresh tropical fruits or canned fruits. I used canned this morning because I like to take a little bit of the liquid and mix it in with the cottage cheese in order to add a little more sweetness and tropical fruit flavor. Try this simple and easy snack that will leave you satisfied and energized until lunch. Enjoy!

Fast food gets a healthy twist on today's episode of 30 Minute Meals. Rachel Ray takes the all american meal of a burger and fries and makes it healthy and easy to make at home. Her recipe for turkey chili burgers combines all of the flavor we love but don't have to feel guilty for eating. Her recipe includes everything you love in chili but making it into a burger. Chili seasoning adds an extra kick while cheddar cheese runs all through the burger in order to make it moist. She makes a refreshing cole slaw to go along side these burgers, the cole slaw is very healthy because the dressing has no mayonnaise in it. Who can eat a burger without french fries? I know I can't.. She takes a regular package of frozen french fries but gives it a twist by putting garlic butter all over them and baking them in the oven. This is a wonderful twist on the typical hamburger and french fries, and for once you don't have to feel guilty for eating fast food.
