I think it's a lot of great cooks in the black church so I think we need a post for burners. Why do folks think they need a personal trainer to eat healthy? I don't burn that much, mainly because I'm single with no kids, but I do enjoy burning if the dish is interesting & a challenge. Here are some great recipes many of u can try over the summer. These recipes are straight from the Healthy.com website.
