Hey everyone! I recently found a website called skinnytaste.com, and people swear by this woman's recipes. They are apparently yummy and yet pretty healthy as well!

I'm not much of a cook, but I would like to learn. Does anyone else use this website, and if so, what are your FAVORITE recipes? Especially recipes that were a hit with picky kids or a picky spouse in the house ;)

Thanks in advance!

    I love it! I have made the crockpot chicken taco chili and it is so good! Spicy for picky kids though. Also the Santa Fe Chicken. My daughter just ate the chicken out of it. Lots of good desserts on there too!

    Chicken Taco Chili, meatloaf "cupcakes" (my 3 year old LOVED them!), Barbacoa Beef, Pork Carnitas with Cilantro Lime Rice, Fiesta Rice (something like that), cheddar biscuits. Really my list could go on and on and on!! Also the baked apples are divine! If you have kids, the baked chicken nuggets are a hit.

    My dad LOVES his high fat/calorie foods and is very traditional in thinking that anything healthy can't possibly taste good. I made chicken parmesan and baked seasoned fries with garlic aoli.

    It was only after my dad had finished every crumb and told me how delicious it was that he clicked and said "aren't you supposed to be eating healthily?!" he, and none of my family, could believe it was low in fat and calories. I would highly recommend!!

    Love it! Last night we had the Asian Peanut Noodles with Chicken - it was absolutely outstanding. So good.

    We've had the Kalua Pork (and leftovers with bbq sauce); shrimp tacos; BLT lettuce wraps; Thai coconut chicken. There's a great summer salad with tomatoes, black beans, avocado and maybe corn - really tasty. I know we've made more than just these ones, but I can't remember everything else - except that it was universally yummy.

    I just made Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice and Fiesta Lime Rice this week. Both are delicious! I'm kind of having a love affair with cilantro at the moment. I love it!

    Mmmhhh...Now I'm getting hungry.

    We already have tacos slated for dinner tonight. Perhaps I will look into this cilantro lime rice! But I think tomorrow I will go shopping and pick up some essentials for two of these meals and give them a try this weekend!

    You guys ROCK! :glasses:

    Keep the suggestions coming if you wish...I will be bookmarking this thread for the foreseeable future!

    LOVE LOVE!! Great recipes that have all been fairly easy to make and the whole family Loves - The mini broccoli quiches are awesome to split up and have for breakfast - I have the Crockpot Chicken taco in the crockpot at home right now!!

    I sat down last Sunday and planned all our meals from the site and had most of the ingredients on hand! Plus it makes enough usually for lunch leftovers and calories are all figured out!
