OK so I may have over-indulged just a wee bit over the holiday and now have T-minus 50 days until my girl’s trip to Hawaii and I have to show myself in a bathing suit. In public. So my goal is to throw in a few healthy but tasty recipes each week and vow to lay off the cookies and leftover Christmas chocolate I stole from the kid’s stocking.  Here’s what this week’s menu looks like, enjoy!

MONDAY, JAN 9:  Slow-Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos

Reason #349 why I love my slow-cooker. Stick a beef roast in the crock pot and walk away until it’s dinner time.  My kind of cooking! [Get the recipe here...]

TUESDAY, JAN 10:  Seafood Lover’s Pasta

Seafood. Pasta. AND healthy. Need I say more? [Get the recipe here...]

WEDNESDAY, JAN 11:  Grilled Teriyaki Chicken

You had me at Teriyaki. [Get  the recipe here...]

THURSDAY, JAN 12:  Leftover-palooza

Clean out the frig and enjoy a leftover buffet!

FRIDAY, JAN 13:  Easy Calzones

Pizza pockets of goodness right here. If you’re feeling so inclined, substitute veggies for the pepperoni and low-fat cheese for the fully leaded variety. See… even calzones can be considered healthy.  [Get the recipe here...]

SATURDAY, JAN 14:  Grilled New York Strip with Beer & Molasses Sauce

It’s Date-Night in and because I’ve been a good girl all week, I’m treating myself to a little meat & potatoes. And wine.  [Get the recipe here...]

SUNDAY, JAN 15:  Spice Rubbed Pork Loin

A really simple but tasty recipe that will make everyone in the family happy including those of us watching our girly figures. Served nicely with steamed broccoli and a beautiful merlot. Or Cab. Or Pinot…whatever.  [Get the recipe here...]

DESSERT OF THE WEEK:  Reduced-fat Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cake

Don’t let the word “reduced-fat” turn you off.  This recipe is just as moist and yummy as it’s ugly full-leaded cousin. [Get the recipe here...]
