Parmesan Crusted Chicken – You won't know you're eating healthy.

Resolve to eat healthy in the new year

The holiday's are gone and it's time (for me at least) to think about keeping my New Year's Resolutions. Mine this year are simple, although not easy. I want to eat healthier and lose some weight. I have discovered that you can eat healthy and still eat well.

Our first recipe this week won't seem like healthy food. It's Parmesan Crusted Chicken and asparagus. It's so good and it's also easy. This is about 400 calories per serving but will taste like 1,000.

The second recipe is Shrimp Tortellini and Spinach. It's a great combination. You get the health benefits of the shrimp and the spinach and the decadence of the tortellini. This will become a regular in your repertoire.

The last recipe is pan sear scallops. That says it all! Scallops are one of nature's best food. It tastes sweet and yet is low fat. You will love this dish.

Add chicken and seafood to your diet in 2008 and you will find yourself eating healthy by accident. Just don't bread and fry it!
