Since James and I have been married I have been on a mission to find healthy yet yummy recipes, because we have both decided we need to lose some weight. Well I haven't been too successful considering my husband is quite the picky eater, which I didn't know while we were dating because he would eat anything and everything I cooked but now things have changed! So I think I'm headed in the right direction now because I found a website of a well known dietitian named Zonya Foco which I knew about before I got married, in fact she has inspired me to pursue a career in dietetics and hopefully become a dietitian. Most of her recipes are normal foods people eat but she just tweaked them to be healthier by using low-fat and reduced-fat products. Anyways for dinner last night I tried her recipe for Creamy Chicken Enchiladas and I'd have to say it's better than most enchilada recipes I've tried and so much more creamy and healthy. If you're looking for a yummy but healthy recipe to cook for dinner try this one and I don't think you'll be disappointed:)
