Depending on which cycle you’re on, I have two starter soups for you to choose from:


Starter Soup – Carrot and Apple Soup (approved for all cycles)


Mmmmm - Apple & Carrot Soup is a delicious is a savory soup perfect for a cold day!

This is a great soup for those on Cycle 1 and wish to keep starches to a minimum on your special holiday meal day!


Starter Soup – Butternut Squash Soup (C2 and C3 approved)


Butternut Squash is the perfect Holiday Meal Time Starter Soup! This recipe is super simple, super delicious, and approved for Cycles 2 and 3 of the 17 Day Diet!

This is a wonderfully gorgeous soup, and if you want to expand your ingredients if you’re on Cycle 2 or 3, this is the soup for you!


Enjoy this super simple and yummy Rosemary Chicken (or Turkey) Recipe for your next healthy holiday meal (or any meal for that matter!)

You can’t go wrong with this recipe – there’s something about lemon and rosemary that makes any bird sing!


Ditch the high-caloric, high-fat richness of mashed potatoes with these mock mashed potatoes made with cauliflower!

I’m a lover of mashed potatoes, but mashed potatoes don’t love me when I’m trying to keep the winter weight off! This cauliflower recipe tastes almost like the real thing. If you make this for your family and don’t tell them ahead of time what it is, there’s a good chance they won’t even notice!


roasted carrots

Oh, there’s something so awesome about roasted carrots – their natural sweetness comes through like no other! And if you’re lucky enough to get a few crispy edges, the flavor is even more rustic!


Yummy Sauteed Green Beans with Crimini Mushrooms are a perfectly, delicious alternative for creamy casseroles

Green bean casserole is a staple for any holiday party. However, when you add in the creaminess, you’re also adding in the fat and calories – neither of which help your waistline! This recipe is a great alternative and tastes so fancy!


Ditch high-sugar cranberry sauces and make your own! This super easy recipe combines the tartness of the cranberry with the sweetness of fruit and its juices!

Awe, ditch the store-bought, high-fructose corn syrup filled sauces and make and enjoy this guilt-free homemade cranberry sauce instead. You won’t believe how super simple this recipe is!
