    Low-Calorie Roasted Smashed Broccoli Recipe

    Broccoli is such a basic, simple vegetable, but here’s a recipe that elevates it to a crispy, crunchy marvel! The flavors deepen and I think that even folks who don’t like broccoli may enjoy this side. The crisped parmesan crunches and combines with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make this a standout recipe. It does have a few…

    Low-Calorie Avocado Egg Salad Recipe

    As much as I love my traditional Low-Calorie Egg Salad recipe, I’ve been craving a change. Since I also love avos, this recipe felt like a natural extension. Eaten on its own or with some toasted keto bread or a Wasa cracker, it is delicious and filling. Everything I need my lunches to be! The creamy ripe avocado gives a…

    Low-Calorie Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki & Rice Recipe

    Are you ready for a great Chicken Teriyaki? I’ve got one that’s worth pulling out the Instant Pot for. (Don’t have one? Here’s why I think they’re important for weight loss and maintenance.) And check out the sauce! Bubbly, sticky, and slightly sweet. It’s mesmerizing! Served over rice, this dish is simple and comforting. And at 412 calories, including the…

    AnyList is a powerful weight loss tool

    I’ve been using the AnyList apps for a while now, and It’s no understatement to say that without them I would have no idea what to make for dinner every night. And not having a plan for dinner leads me to hungrily cave and order delivery. So, what is AnyList? 1. It’s a Recipe Database I store all my recipes…

    Low-Calorie Cajun Shrimp & Rice Recipe

    Ages ago I found a wonderful shrimp recipe at Best Keto Recipes. They say it takes 20 minutes, but somehow for me it only takes 10. Either way, this is a fantastically easy and delicious weeknight dinner. I use flash-frozen shrimp that I get at the market which I thaw overnight in the refrigerator. It takes just minutes to get…

Welcome

I'm Violet, and you've found my healthy, low-calorie recipes.
I eat frequent low-calorie meals and snacks as well as a delicious low-calorie dessert every day.

I believe there are no "good" or "bad" foods: Food is not a moral choice. I eat all foods, some freely, and some in moderation.
