I am so excited to share a delicious recipe with you today! And the best part is that it is under 400 calories. It is from Our Best Bites’ newest cookbook 400 Calories or Less.

I have been a huge fan and follower of Our Best Bites even before I started a blog. They have such amazing  family friendly recipes and cookbooks. Sara has such an inspirational story of losing 50 pounds! {You can read all about her story here.}  She looks amazing!! And if you have been following along I started my weight loss journey last December. I loved hearing about her weight loss story and our plans were both similar to losing weight.

I had to lose my baby weight. I was miserable and wanted to feel like myself again. Since December I have lost  all baby weight (close to 30 pounds) and maintained the same weight now for 5 months. A huge part has been keeping active by doing Crossfit 4 times a week and logging in all of my food with My Fitness Pal. I also check in with the nutritionist at the gym weekly to keep me on track.

People ask me what I eat. I eat real food. You don’t have to sacrifice on taste to lose weight. Portion control and adding in whole grains has been huge for me. I also reward myself with a cheat meal each week. So I am totally eating those recent brownies and everything that goes up on the blog here.

I was ecstatic about this new cookbook because I could add in some more healthy dinner options that don’t compromise on taste and help me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. And it is important to keep healthy recipes throughout the year. Especially during summer and swim suit season. 🙂

It was so hard for me to chose a recipe to blog about. They all sounded amazing. The best part about each recipe is that:

  • They use common pantry ingredients.
  • They include tips to make shopping easier.
  • They provide nutritional information for each recipe.
  • Each recipe is customizable so you can fix healthy dishes that your family will love while maintaining you weight loss goals.

I am telling you. This book is AMAZING!

I chose these Herbed Lemon Garlic Chicken Skewers because they use minimal ingredients but the fresh herbs and lemon garlic added such an amazing flavor. It is perfect for summer to throw onto the grill. They grill up in no time and have fresh and bright summer veggies included.

The flavors all came together so well and were a huge hit with the family. It just goes to show that you can still maintain a healthy lifestyle and eat delicious food that the entire family will love! This is the perfect summer meal and I know your family will love it too!
