Recipe Swap Roundup - Healthy Recipes

I know it's cliche to make one of your New Years resolutions to eat healthier meals, exercise more and just generally take better care of yourself. But let's be honest, those types of resolutions are popular for a good reason - they're important. Taking good care of our bodies is important, but that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice flavor when we cut calories. When I chose Healthy Recipes for the latest recipe swap it was my hope that it would provide others looking for healthy, flavorful meals a few new recipes for their arsenal.
