Here I go again, non-main line posting.  This time of year food blogs and sites, newspapers and magazines are filling their pages with healthier recipes.  Who doesn’t want to lose weight?  And the New Year is the perfect opportunity to reset, especially with all the holiday treats consumed, given away or ditched.
