This simple dish tastes just like Chinese Takeout, without as much fat or oil. It’s a cinch to prepare, so it’s great for those nights when you run home only to need to run to get to meetings/events after dinner.

I love this New Orleans treat, but I decided to try to make it a little healthier. The dessert was so quick to pull together. It was super tasty with my simple replacements. While I made the sauce healthier, I served it over vanilla ice cream.

Today we honored our heroes who lost their lives defending our liberties. I took our all-American recipes and made them a bit healthier by cutting out extra fats like mayonnaise.
