Forget about smokey charcoal and hard-to-clean outdoor grills — Calphalon’s pan makes healthy grilling easy, and clean-up a breeze!
2. Kavli 5 Grain All Natural Whole Grain Crispbreads contain no artificial preservatives, additives or chemicals — but do offer a full 11-percent of your daily fiber requirement. Each 60 calorie crispbread is delicious served with cheese — and I like to top them with smoked salmon and cucumber slices for a quick, open-faced sandwich.
