Need healthy dinner selections?! I have a great receipe that i tried out tonight that was delicious. My cute husband doesn't like seafood at all and he even appreciated this yummy dinner. Being that UTAH was rated number 44 out of 50 states for the healthest people we must do all we can to maintain good health and be fit!!! (that comment is coming from somebody who loves sweets and should take her own advice in being more FIT, buy hey I am trying!) If you have any questions about this receipe let me know!
