OK, that title is an exageration. just like last week’s Thursday 13. Your choices and lifestyle are what make you fat or skinny, not only food. However, these 13 dishes helped me in my battle against the scale (a war that is not over yet). Next week I will post about the changes in my lifestyle I had to make to lose weight. But for now, enjoy these 13 healthier (compared to last week’s) recipes:

1. Breakfast bomba (or breakfast in a glass)

2. Tropical tuna salad

3. Baked salmon and veggies

4. Nopalitos (prickly pear pads) salad

5. Chicken in a sweet/spicy lentil sauce

6. Mexican whole-wheat pizza

7. Tuna and quinoa cakes

8. Party apple salad

9. Healthy quinoa burritos

10. Jicama and chicken spring rolls

11. Turkey albondigas in tomatillo sauce

12. Grape zucchini gazpacho

13. Tomatillo sauce Hawaiian pizza

There you have it 13 healthier recipes that helped in my fight against overweight. For those of you wondering why pizza made it to the list, well pizza is not bad for you. Unless it has a THICK crust overloaded with cheese and fat.

¡Buen provecho!
