This weekend if you’re like me you’re trying to dig yourself out from under all the food from the holidays and start eating healthy for the new year.

Here are a few fun weekend food links to help you achieve that goal.

Busy Family Meals~ If you’re going to eat meatloaf, make it count!

Cooking Gadgets~ Cyndi is wondering if there are any food trends that you’d like to see disappear in this coming year… Hmmmm…

Homemade Ranch Dip and Salad Dressing Mix~ A dry mix you can make ahead and add to light sour cream to make your own (lighter version) homemade ranch dip. For parties or anytime.

Make Your Favorite Recipes Healthier ~ What can you do with old family favorite recipes, those personal treats you grew up with but now avoid because they contain too much fat, cholesterol, whatever? Jean tells you how to create your own recipe swaps!

Have a wonderful first weekend of the new year. It’s back to a normal schedule on Monday here.
