I'm not writing this post because I want to be showered in congratulations--but seriously, feel free to congratulate us--but because I want to spread a little eating light love. I have a hard time trying new recipes that haven't been recommended to me by someone. But, as of late, we've been pushed into trying oodles of new recipes in our quest to eat a little lighter. I'm assuming other people have made a goal to lose weight or get in shape this year (anyone?), so I thought it would be friendly to share a few of my favorite light recipes. The best part of each of these recipes is that they don't even taste "light." So, without further ado, here they are (in no particular order):
Avgolemono (Lemony Chicken Soup)
O.M.Gsh. This soup is fantastic. I may have licked my bowl clean. And, best of all, it was extremely easy to make.

This recipe requires kind of a lot of prep work--a lot of chopping of potatoes, mushrooms, and onions is involved. But it is definitely worth the effort. Tip: crumble your sausage into really small chunks, or it doesn't spread throughout the gratin well.
The ratio of beef to mushroom falls heavily on the side of mushroom--but you don't notice the difference. If you don't have a food processor, though, I don't think you'll be able to grind the mushrooms finely enough.
I was a little skeptical of this one, but it came out fantastically. We had to bake the corn bread far longer than the recipe suggested--just a heads up.
Possibly my favorite light recipe of all time. We like to add chopped, cooked chicken to make it a little more substantial.
(All pictures and recipes from Cookinglight.com I really like them. And, if you want more, I post all the recipes we've tried and the recipes we plan to try on my pinterest board.)

YOu are amazing! Good for you! Yippee. Tell me your trick. How do you not eat sweets. That is my biggest problem. I work out, eat pretty well, but love the sweets. HELP!!!
Ooo those recipes do sound good. Especially that spicy thai soup. And congrats! You're doing much better than I am with that resolution.
