LEMON ARTICHOKE ANGEL HAIR PASTA

The holidays are soon upon us. With all of the festivities, come tempting foods that can be laden with calories. For some, planning a celebration can be challenging when we are watching what we eat. The older we become, I think the more aware we are of trying to stay active and maintain good eating habits. Now, this need not be boring. I came across a few great little charts that can be a good reference of foods that we should all be eating in various forms. So, I thought about researching some healthy recipes that will be easy to prepare, yet offering all the delicious flavor we long for!
