Welcome!
I'm Snack Girl and my website is devoted to becoming healthier. I create recipes, review food products, and support those on a healthy journey.

My grilled zucchini recipe treats this squash like a steak. Marinate, sear, and serve.
The grill seems to be used for hamburgers and hot dogs - and not enough vegetables. Vegetables are so good with a wee bit of char just like a burger.
This slow cooker quinoa chili is for right now. Can't afford meat? No problemo.
My biggest problem with any vegetarian chili is that it lacks the “heft” of meat and the thickness that I am looking for in chili. I like my chili to be hearty (not light).
Can you cook a delicious meal in five minutes? Oven roasted shrimp will change your mind on the definition of fast food.
If you didn’t have to heat your oven up to 400 F - this would be faster than any McDonald’s hamburger. Of course, this is much tastier (if you are a fan of shrimp which I definitely am).
This baked salmon with mustard recipe will make fish night into something special.
I think we all get bored with the same old boring roasted fish. My baked salmon and asparagus recipe is good BUT it the fish is flavored with lemon, salt and pepper. I happen to love this recipe but not all the time.
These fresh strawberry recipes will inspire you to buy pounds and pounds of fresh strawberries.
The easiest fresh strawberry dish is – wash and eat! (I guess that isn’t really a recipe).
Desserts with strawberries will be instantly healthier than your regular chocolate cakes or crème brulees because you are using fruit. Fruit is naturally low in calories, low in sugar, and higher in fiber than almost any dessert item that I can think of.
This delicious asparagus recipe will keep you eating and buying it all spring long.
I posted a list of fresh asparagus recipes a few weeks ago but I thought I would add another one to the line-up.
These simple cod recipes will inspire you to eat more fish.
I like recipes that are in the oven because I am frequently attempting to multi-task. I am not succeeded but at least I know my dish is in the oven and I can forget about it until the timer goes off.
This frozen salmon in an air fryer post has content for those of you who don’t own one.
Could I leave you without a reason to read on? No! I include a seafood rub recipe that brightens even the dullest frozen tilapia.
These chicken breast recipes will inspire you. How do I know?
Because, I use them all of the time for my family and no one complains about hockey puck chicken breasts.
My husband is a devoted hater of chicken breasts and yet he eats these recipes and likes them! It is possible to cook this leanest of meats without skin and get excellent results.
Low calorie cereal is easy to make. I know you want to buy it - but it tastes much better to make it.
I know that there are people out there who will take on look at this recipe and decide it isn’t low calorie. But, I would argue that it isn’t good enough to be simply low calorie -you can do that with Rice Krispies - you also need nutrition that gets you off on the right foot for your day.
