Strawberries and Yogurt Whipped Cream

This lighter Strawberries and Cream folds Greek yogurt right into the whipped cream for a healthier (and yummier) spin on the classic!

On weekends, I occasionally like to treat myself to dessert. If you’ve never made whipped cream from scratch before, you’re in for a treat! One of my favorite ways to lighten whipped cream is to whip it up and fold in some Greek yogurt. It gives it a slight tang, which is wonderful with fruit and cuts down on the fat and calories. Perfect for a quick and easy dessert, or try them in crepes or on Yogurt Waffles.

Don’t get me wrong, I love egg yolks and eat them all the time in me egg salad! But when I’m counting macros, and looking for ways to get extra lean protein, using half the yolk does the trick. More egg salad recipes you might enjoy are Classic Egg Salad, Chickpea Egg Salad, Asparagus Egg and Bacon Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette, and Avocado Egg Salad.

Pork wrapped in more pork – how could this not be good?! You’re going to love this easy pork tenderloin wrapped in crispy bacon and cooked in the air fryer, just two ingredients not counting salt and pepper. I tested this recipe several times to make sure it was perfect before sharing. My daughter smelled the bacon-wrapped meat and came running – she ate nearly half the batch! For more bacon-wrapped recipes, try my Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops and Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Bites.

Spanish Tortilla with Pimenton Aioli

Spanish Tortilla with Pimenton Aioli is a layered potato and egg open-faced omelet. Serve it as an appetizer, snack, or main for breakfast/brunch or a light dinner.

My mom has been making Spanish Tortilla all my life. It’s usually something she’ll bring to a brunch or serve as an appetizer. Her recipe has a lot more olive oil than this lighter version, but the great news is that you don’t miss it here! The pimenton aioli takes this tortilla to a whole new level, so don’t skip it (you may want to double it if serving guests). For more classic Spanish recipes, try my Mom’s Spanish Chicken and Rice, Pan con Tomate and Weeknight Seafood Paella.

Turkey Picadillo

Turkey Picadillo is a lighter alternative to my favorite Cuban beef picadillo recipe only much leaner, and made with ground turkey instead.

Growing up in a Latin home, beef picadillo was on dinner rotation as a kid. It’s also one of the first things I learned how to cook. It’s a 30 minute dish, while it cooks I cook my rice in another pot so everything is ready at the same time. Serve it with a quick slaw for a little acidity and dinner is ready! My family loves it with beef, but some nights I like to switch it up with turkey as a leaner option. I personally am not a fan of 99% lean turkey, it’s too dry for my taste so I use 93% lean ground turkey instead. Leftovers are great in tacos, empanadas or quesadillas.

Easy (10-minute) Waffled Salmon Cakes

These easy Salmon Cakes, made with pantry and refrigerator staples are cooked in a waffle maker – only 10 minutes from start to finish!

I made these Waffled Crab Cakes a few years ago and thought I’d try switching it up with salmon. Plus, I wanted to try them out on my Mini Dash Waffle Maker. I made four small salmon cakes, but you can make them bigger if you have a larger waffle iron. I love how extra crispy they get with all that surface area. If you’d like to try some different salmon cake recipes, check out my Baked Salmon Cakes or these Salmon Croquettes with Dill Sauce. What should I waffle next?
