Time to Dial it Back!

Now that the holidays are behind me, it's time to regroup and return to healthy eating. I like to balance heavy meals with several days of light ones. So this month I'm devoting my meal planning to some lighter fare. I like to plan meals that are low on fat but high in flavor. Herbs and spices are paired with lean proteins. I use whole wheat pastas and brown rice instead of the traditional white. I've started with Greek Shrimp Scampi and Tomato Rice Pilaf tonight. This is a great weeknight, back to school and work meal. With a little advance chopping, you could easily get this on the table in 15-20 minutes. Keep checking back in, there are more light meals to come.
