Another favorite from the dessert-inspired line, Pineapple Upside Down Overnight Oats differs from some other recipes by its use of light brown sugar as a sweetener. This is a no-cook, quick-mix recipe that takes the great flavors of the original and converts them into a healthy, low-calorie way to start your day!

It’s on a cauliflower pizza crust, so that certainly leans towards “yes”, but there’s no cheese, and no sauce, typically two big “no’s”.

Despite the fact that there’s a bit of prep work involved, it does make four servings, so your return on investment is well worth it, especially once you taste it. I’ve recounted the calories on this recipe several times, each time saying “this can’t be right – it tastes too good for 180 calories”. I highly recommend giving this one a shot, especially if you’re…

There’s nothing worse than a bad meatloaf, and for many people since there’s no such thing as a GOOD meatloaf, this is a losing argument. However, I’ll die on two particular hills – first, any situation is made funnier by the addition of monkeys, and second, pretty much any savory dish is improved by the addition of caramelized onions. We’ll table the monkeys for another time (although, you know in your heart it’s true). For now, I present this tasty,…
