I’d be willing to bet that if you interviewed five self-described “healthy eaters,” their diets would look radically different. For instance, was my pre-Becca husband considered healthy when he was eating four protein bars a day (but they were organic!)? Or was I healthy during my dark-chocolate, sugar-free pudding craze (only 60 calories!)?
Light Cannoli Cheesecake
Learning how to cook will save you money, calories, and your life. Don’t scoff – cooking for yourself is almost always healthier than restaurant food and long life is an indirect result of a healthy diet.

Thai Chicken Pizza
I make pizza more times than not when entertaining, so I’m always looking for a new type to make. Cut to my husband and I sitting on the floor in the kitchen, me reading out the list of pizzas on California Pizza Kitchen’s menu. I saw Thai and read out the toppings – he...
