Healthy Monday: Turkey Taco Chili Soup

Hey guys! I missed you all this past week but it was nice to get a little bit of a break from the computer. So to start off the week...

 I feel great this morning. As soon as I woke up I donned my tennis shoes. According to Google Maps I walked 4.4 miles this morning and with a little math and help from a couple of websites I burned, on average, 347.5 calories. When I came home I had scrambled egg whites with sauteed onion and tomato (with Pam spray, I did not use oil or butter) with a slice of whole grain toast and a couple cups of coffee. As I finished my coffee I played with Tessa as she sat in her high chair, after she had just eaten her breakfast. I showered, gave my hair an oil treatment and with the left over olive oil I moisturized my skin; dressed and did the dishes and here I am! It's amazing how exercise can make you feel more energized and raring to go. I might just get up even earlier tomorrow and do it again! This time with my iPod.

Remember that soup I was talking about that I found on skinnytaste.com? Well... It's friggin awesome. The suggested serving size, I find, is very filling and it's less that 200 calories. The next day and the day after my Mom and I both had it for lunch and dinner. Would be great with whole grain tortillas to sop up some of the juices. You guys should definitely try it!

Healthy Monday: Skinny Taste.com

Just one of the many delicious, low fat recipes from Skinny Taste
Thursday night I was browsing through my blogger updates as I waiting for my bright, red Essie nail polish to dry, when I saw a post from Eisy Morgan about a turkey chili taco soup. What the what? Turkey? Chili? AND taco all in a soup? Turns out, Eisy found this recipe through another site called Skinny Taste. I was intrigued. I had to find out more and see what other amazing low fat recipes were lurking behind this domain name. Was the title of this blog as promising as it sounded? Yes, yes it was.

No, I haven't tried it, but the name alone sounds wonderful; but get this, it's less than 200 calories for 1 1/4cup of this stuff; if your a Weight Watcher its 3 points.

As to the other recipes, well, there is a very wide range of desserts, meals, appetizers and snacks. Your bound to find some healthy pleasers for your family.
