This is one summer salad that is definitely as pleasing to the eye and waistline as it is to the pallet. Very light and crisp to help keep your menu cool on a hot summer day. Simple ingredients include crunchy red radishes, lemony mango, cucumber and Lime. The original recipe calls for olive oil and honey as part of the dressing, but I have found that omitting these two items, cuts down calories and doesn’t cut out the flavor of the salad.

Arrange mango, radishes, and cucumber in a large salad bowl or platter, whisk ingredients of dressing together and drizzle over salad. This is a fun salad to entertain with and is so simple to make! I encourage you to make it as the recipe says the first time, and then the second time try it without the honey and olive oil – You really don’t miss them and are cutting out 300 calories! Enjoy! I found this recipe in my May 2010 Martha Stewart Living Magazine, who knew sometimes Martha can be simple.

This is one of the new yummy healthy chicken recipes I found in my Martha Stewart Magazine last month! Tried and true, it passed all tests: Quick, Simple, Tasty, Healthy and doesn’t it look pretty? At only 280 Calories per serving 23 protein and 8 carbs you are in for a treat! Another twist I thought might be tasty would be to add a few sun dried tomatoes for some extra flavor and color, or possibly a little mozzarella. For the recipe follow the link below!

Walnut Stuffed Chicken Roulade

Lift Like a Man,  Look Like a Goddess

The New Rules of  Lifting for Women is one of the newest additions to my own fitness library.  My wonderful client Marilyn turned me on to this great book a couple of weeks ago and after perusing it cover to cover felt the need to share it with all of you. This is a great book for anyone new to fitness or people who have been training for years.  Alwyn Cosgrove is the designer of the workout programs and is regarded as highly as anyone as a fat loss specialist in the fitness industry.  He dispels myths about men and women and training with weights, like the fact that most women think that by lifting weights they are going  to look like men.  It just isn’t true!  I hear that all the time  from females who come to me saying they just want to lose weight and not build any muscle!  Having lean muscle is the key component to dropping body fat and  increasing your metabolism!  Muscle looks different on everyone because we are all individually different, just because you lift weights doesn’t mean you are going to look like Arnold! This book also offers a huge selection of healthy recipes, some of which I already incorporate in my own nutrition programs and others I have yet to try. The other aspect I like about this book is that the exercises they include are all core strengtheners and or compound movements that help you with all the things you do in everyday life outside of the gym. You can pick this book up on Amazon.Com new or used for about $8.50! Great Deal!
