Fresh out of the oven is 2016’s first simple and healthy FittChick recipe. This is one recipe that works great with any weight loss program, Paleo or Ketogenic diet, FittKids, or anyone living a healthy lifestyle. With a new year, comes resolutions. If you are looking to make some positive changes in your life, or if you are a parent who would like to encourage your children to make positive changes in their own lives, making resolutions for 2016 is a great place to start! While an adult’s New Years resolution may include things like losing weight, a child can be encouraged to make a resolution to make healthier choices when it comes to meals and snacks.
