Take out the hassle. Add in the healthy.
Life moves pretty fast. Kids. Parents. Work. Chores. Pets. Some days it’s a miracle we find time to eat at all. Skinny Ms. is here to help with delish clean-eating recipes! Add these 13 Chicken Dinners To Make Your Life Easier to your meal plans.
We’ve all been there at some point: that box of processed food looks so easy, so tempting—you just need to add meat! It’s simple to prepare a frozen dinner, but your waistline will pay for it.

You’ll find clean-eating recipes rich in the antioxidants, fiber, and protein you (and your loved ones) need to stay healthy.

What is the healthiest cheese to use, I have been seeing a lot of Recipes calling for Fresh Parmesan Cheese and some Mozzarella Cheese….is their a healthy benefit for these cheeses?
Carolyn, The cheese used typically depends on the recipe. We also use other cheeses, i.e. cheddar, ricotta, feta, etc..
When possible I like to use Feta. 🙂
Hi i dont know if you can get protein cheese over there but we can and its 100gm = 2 smart points and is a cooking cheese not cheap but melt well lovely and oozy
Yum!
