Guilt Free Cheesy Broccoli & Ranch Soup

Guilt Free Cheesy Broccoli & Ranch Soup

Talk about comfort in a bowl! With these chilly months I love a good soup to keep me full for hours and warm my bones up! I also have always enjoyed Broccoli and Cheese soup but didn’t like how rich some were or how much cheese some places added and also some of them were so rich you could only have a few spoonful’s.

Not mine, you can enjoy a generous portion without the guilt and without needed a massive glass of water to calm down how rich it is.

With my Guilt Free Cheesy Broccoli & Ranch soup you will love the ease of it and will want this all fall and winter long.

Skinny Buffalo Chicken & Rice Casserole

Skinny Buffalo Chicken & Rice Casserole

This is a winner in my book. Not only do I love everything that involves buffalo chicken, its so versatile. Eat this as is with a side salad, put it into a tortilla or flatbread, make it into a pizza, calzone filling, dip, enchiladas or taquitos. They options are endless.

This was such a simple meal to put together and tasted amazing! The low carb option is also wonderful. You can definitely sub out for regular rice but I enjoy the cauliflower because you get your veggies in and you don’t really taste it.

Great option for my meal plan people as well. It makes great leftovers and like I said before you can use this for many different types of meals.
