Happy New Year!!

It’s a predictable trend – people overeat during the holidays and want to make up for it in January. It’s understandable. I’m not really one for new year’s resolutions myself, but I definitely try to eat healthier in January.

Healthy doesn’t have to be boring! I reached out to my fellow food bloggers and put together this collection of healthy (yet tasty!) recipes that are sure to help you start 2017 on a positive note.

Bring on the deliciousness!
