Lemon Panko-Crusted Salmon
I love serving this panko salmon with a side of glazed baby carrots and garlic and feta mashed potatoes. It's a quick yet healthy meal that will satisfy your hunger.
Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
A cream cheese fruit dip that's loved by all (unless they're counting calories)! You can substitute reduced-fat cream cheese if you wish. It's been my favorite since it was shared with me in college. Enjoy with apples, bananas, oranges, pears, pineapple, strawberries, etc.
Dolce Pesca (Sweet Peaches)
Peaches are stuffed with a fig and pine nut mixture, soaked in wine, and topped with brandy before baking. I learned this amazing recipe from an Italian woman while in Italy and I never forgot it. It's easy, healthy, and so good.
