Staying Strong During Lent
Making sacrifices and giving up indulgences are a big part of Lent. Most commonly, people give up chocolate, desserts, candy, carbs, meat, or other guilty pleasures, and around this time, it starts to get rough. Seeing co-workers munch on candy bars or receive sunflowers made out of chocolate (OK, maybe that only happens in our office) makes sticking to the promise a little more tricky.
To help those of you still on the bandwagon continue to succeed for the latter half of Lent, we've put together a healthy and delicious menu to keep you on track.
Enjoy and please let us know how it's going!
Cucumber and Dill SaladA refreshing and light spring salad, this recipe is packed full of flavor and is low in calories and fat.
Miso-Glazed Broiled SalmonHeart-healthy salmon is glazed with flavorful miso. Serve this recipe over steamed greens like bok choy.
Asparagus Tangle with Parmesan Vinaigrette
Using a vegetable peeler to shave strips of raw asparagus gives way to a crunchy side dish that's topped with a nutty, cheesy dressing.
Coconut Frozen Yogurt with Cinnamon
Made with Greek yogurt and flavored with Stevia and cinnamon, this is a healthier "dessert" that provides a sweet option without being considered a conventional dessert (think chocolate cake or pie).
