Cheesecake Fake-Out

When I get a sweet craving, here is one thing I like to do that won't completely blow my calorie budget and is super easy!

Stir together in a bowl:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use Chobani and it is only 100 calories)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

Top with strawberries and/or blueberries and enjoy! :)

Italian Crockpot Chicken Soup

I made this today since I am feeling under the weather and it was so easy and really hit the spot.

Here is the original recipe:

Here are my additions to the original recipe: 

3 carrots, chopped
1 large zucchini, chopped
1/2 large bunch of fresh spinach (added at the last minute)
(I used the lite version of coconut milk to save fat and calories)

This is great for anyone that is lactose intolerant or lactose sensitive since it uses coconut milk. It doesn't have a coconut taste at all.

"Better Than Takeout" Chicken Fried Rice

I found this... (where else?) but PINTEREST!

The link below really gives you a step by step easy way to see how this is prepared. Very simple, fast and yummy! At the bottom of the link, there is another link for more details instructions, though.

I added:
Pre-cooked and shredded chicken breasts to this to make it more of a meal.
.
I used brown rice and low-sodium soy sauce to make it a little healthier.
