Skinny Recipes from my new favorite site

So I recently stumbled across Skinnykitchen.com and I'm LOVING all the healthy and delicious recipes on there!  Thought I'd share a few of my favorites because they are just so awesome : )

CPK's original BBQ chopped chicken Salad Make Skinny
Click HERE for recipe

In Taber's world, you can NEVER have too much BBQ sauce, so this salad has quickly become his all time favorite.  For dressing I used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and Nancy's skinny Ranch Dressing (found HERE)  SOOOOO GOOOD!!


We've also tried it with tortilla chips (she recommends using reduced fat chips but I couldn't find any so we just used a few to keep it lower calorie. Anyway, this salad is AMAZING. You should seriously make it for dinner, tonight. : )


Skinnyfied Chicken Pad Thai

Sorry my picture didn't come out as pretty for this one but it is another huge winner and I love how simple the recipe is. You don't need any crazy ingredients and it just tastes so light and zingy!


Cheeseburger in Paradise Skinny Soup
For Recipe click HERE

I know the title sounds kind of weird, and I'll admit, I thought the concept was strange at first, (putting ketchup and pickles on your soup?) But it was actually super delish and I made some for my friend's family and they loved it too! So yeah, this one is easy to make and a fun way to eat a "cheeseburger" : )

Low Carb Chicken Lettuce Wraps
For recipe click HERE   
                                                                  

Okay so this one has been by far the biggest hit at our house. Some of the ingredients are things I don't usually have around (like sesame oil and hoisin sauce) but now that I have them in my cupboards these are so easy to whip up and my whole family is CRAZY about them!

The kids have a hard time wrapping them in lettuce so I just combine the chicken mixture with brown rice and they chow it down.


Even Cam scarfs this stuff!
 (at one point his food was on a plate, I promise, he just likes to dump it all on his tray and chuck the plate across the room before he really can dig in. : )

Anyway, just wanted to share this awesome site for anyone who is looking for healthy recipes that don't compromise on flavor : )

Those all looks so good! Seriously, my favorite things to get at Cheesecake factory are their lettuce wraps and also their BBQ chicken salad, and yours look just as good, so I want to try making them. That was a good idea to mix the lettuce wrap stuff with rice for the kids - I love the thumbs up from Teya and the mouth stuff from Cam - you can tell it's so super good he can't even bother looking at the camera.
