‘new england clam chowder’

 Thank You so much for taking the time to visit The Skinny Gourmet.  Wether you use TSG as a total nutrition regime or just visit from time to time for unique and healthy recipes I am so pleased the you keep coming back.  Subscription and readership is way up with the primary hits focusing on Hearty Autumn Themed and Holiday recipes.   This week is very busy for me but as soon as I settle back in to a regular routine I will be sure to post as many new seasonal recipes as I can. 

Speaking of recipes – all of the recipes are either completely my own creation or an adaptation of some of my favorite recipes.  I prepare everything in my kitchen before I post it.  I try to insure that each recipe is low in fat and calories but high in protein and taste.   If you have a favorite recipe that you know is not really that nutritious and you’d like to know how to make it just email me.  I LOVE a challenge.  It was a reader who asked me to post a healthy macaroni & cheese recipe.    So if you have any questions or you want to suggest a recipe just ask!
