Well, we’ve made it through the first couple of weeks of the new year with our resolutions still in tact, right? No worries if you’ve already fallen off the wagon. Let’s get back on it — together.

I’ve created a bunch of new healthy menus for the new year that will help you reach your goals without sacrificing the joy of eating. More details about that below.

As we make our way through these cold winter months, let’s heat it up a little with my Spiced Shrimp. The key to this dish is to avoid overcooking the shrimp. Just a couple of minutes on each side. Full recipe below!
