October 19, 2015 Tanya's Tasty Tips: Meal Makeover (Crispy Oven-Fried Fish) When I was growing up, the only fish I would eat was Arthur Treacher's fried fish n' chips. The thick coating of fried batter completely overpowered the fish-which is why I probably liked it so much.
October 19, 2015 Breast Cancer Awareness I recently had the honor of speaking with Nancy Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G.

October 19, 2015 Tanya's Tasty Tips: Meal Makeover (Blueberry Peach Crisp) This is my favorite summertime dessert! I love warm cobblers and crisps, and this one fits the bill. Fresh fruits such as blueberries and peaches are in season and super sweet which makes this recipe taste so decadent. A slice of blueberry pie can pack up to 400 calories and 23 grams of fat, but with this recipe there is no reason to ruin your bikini body. A dollop of fat free Cool Whip or a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt on top makes this a truly special treat. This recipe couldn't be easier and best of all it's so delicious that no one even realizes it is healthy. Feel free to substitute other fruits such as apples, pears or plums to make this a dessert you can serve all year round.

October 19, 2015 Tanya's Tasty Tips: Meal Makeover (Greek Salad) My favorite lunch at a diner is a Greek salad. But did you know that a Greek salad can pack as much as 600 calories and 50 grams of fat due to all the feta cheese, stuffed grape leaves and olive oil? Most people think they're doing their body right by ordering a salad, but this one can be a disaster if you're not careful. That's why I love making this low-cal version at home. You can even pair it with a can of tuna or grilled chicken for added protein-either way, it's a delicious meal in itself.

October 19, 2015 Tanya's Tasty Tips: Meal Makeover (Sweet Potato Chips) These chips have all the crunch of regular potato chips without all the fat.

October 19, 2015 Could You Be "Gumming Up" Your Brain? Every 45 seconds, someone has a stroke in the United States. The third largest cause of death in this country, strokes affect over 700,000 people each year with over 500,000 of these coming without warning and devastating consequences.
