Angie and I were recently asked a great question from one of our valued readers, Esther.

In today’s Fat Loss Quickie “Day In The Life” video, Angie and I share one of our favorite healthy dinners that our kids also really enjoy. The healthy dinner is homemade Shepherds Pie. I know that there are a variety of ways that you can make Shepherds Pie and today we tried something slightly different. We baked it in the slow cooker instead of the oven. Mainly because it’s so hot out and our air conditioner is already working overtime

Hi everyone, Angie here. I just wanted to express my excitement about these awesome new recipes Scott and my family have been enjoying this past month. There are a ton to tantalize your taste buds inside of Prograde’s 197 Healthy and Delicious Recipes.
