Not sure if you have noticed, but the last few posts I've made have been low calorie meals. I've started a diet with the intention of getting rid of my muffin top. The muffin top may be the best part of the muffin, but on me, it's just not flattering. Speaking of which have you ever seen this Sienfield episode? It's hilarious!
But I digress. My goal is to get rid of 10 pounds before my birthday. So my question to you is what are you favorite low calorie recipes? And to make this fun, if I cook your recipe and like it I'll give you a sweet prize!!!
Zuppa Tuscana.
