Easter recipes

Of course, today is Easter, and I love to make a nice fancy-dancy meal for my family. However, since my husband and I are trying to lose weight, I decided to go sort of healthy. We will be having ham, baked sweet potatoes, spinach-strawberry salad, low-fat low-carb orange dream cheesecake, and Crystal Lite.


Spinach Strawberry Salad

3 cups fresh baby spinach

1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries

1/4 cup sliced honey-roasted almonds

1 TBSP vinegar

1 TBSP honey

1 1/2 tsp sugar

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries, and almonds. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vinegar, honey, and sugar; shake well. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
