I started getting e-mails a while back from a website called Eat Better America . They take popular recipes and “healthify” them. I love some of the recipes that I have found for foods that I have loved in the past, but now felt they were off limits to me. This is just even more proof that you can be healthy and lose weight AND eat the foods you love! Here is a recipe that I found recently for Monkey Bread. My mom used to make this for Christmas morning and other special occasions. Not only is this recipe much better for you, it’s also so much easier to make.
