Top 10 Low Calorie, Low Fat Recipes of 2014
It is hard to believe another year is almost over. A big, hearty thank you to everyone who has supported Food Done Light. All of your comments and sharing on social media is very much appreciated. We are taking a look back at the most popular savory recipes of 2014. I see some trends. Soup was hot. (Pun intended!) Slow cooker recipes are always in need, and carrot cake anything is a hit. Next year, look for more slow cooker recipes, and I plan on starting the year with some slimmed down comfort food. I hope you will join me. I am also starting the Healthy Challenge. Each week will have a new challenge as we slowly but surely get healthy together. You can join the Food Done Light Facebook group here.
Have a Happy, Healthy New Year,
Christie
