Bruschetta Chicken Wraps

At the end of October, I made the decision to start eating healthier.  Everyone warned me that it was a terrible time to get started, but my goal was to enjoy things in moderation but try to make better choices too.  Overall, I'm very happy with where I am starting this new year.

I've got quite a few nights where the guys are eating something that isn't covered under my plan, so I make myself an alternative.  These Bruschetta Chicken Wraps are one of my favorites.   

The tomato spinach topping is so good, I could eat a bowl of it by itself.   I use dried basil, because I never remember to buy fresh, and I use a Flat Out Multigrain Wrap instead of the tortillas.

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
