Hold the fat on my fish!

It's finally starting to feel like summer's right around the corner. And with the warmer weather, I'm looking forward to some lighter cooking.

In my house, we've been trying to cook more and more fish as it is a healthy dinner option with many varieties. I haven't tried all those varieties yet (we almost always end up getting salmon, which I'm starting to get a little sick of) but I hope to learn how to cook more fish.

Here are some healthy low-fat fish dishes that you can cook at home. They range in difficulty, but all look and sound like they come out delicious!

Do any of YOU have special fish recipes you'd like to share?

Easter Candies to Avoid

Good morning, and Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Whether you celebrate it or not, Easter candy is all around, and with that comes some serious temptations!

But not all Easter candy is created equal, and for the purposes of our weight loss journeys there are some that should be avoided.

At the top of the list for Easter candies to avoid is an all-time favorite-Peeps. These babies are loaded with sugar (8 grams each) and four bunnies equals 130 calories.

Following closely behind are

* Jelly Beans- 140 calories for a 35-bean serving, 37 grams of sugar

* Cadbury chocolate eggs- serving of 12 mini eggs has 190 calories and 8 grams of fat

* Cadbury cream egg- 1 egg is 150 calories, 5 grams of fat and 25 grams of carbs

For the full list of naughty Easter Candy to avoid, check out this article. And have a happy holiday!
