Written By Brandy Golden

You’re finally hosting a girl’s night after months of scheduling, rescheduling, and scheduling again. You have the 90’s theme, the dress code is pajamas, 90’s karaoke is the activity of course, but you haven’t finalized the menu yet. You don’t want this one night to ruin your entire week of healthy eating, but you don’t want to drag your friends into your diet plan involuntarily either. Well, guess what- this sounds cliche, but healthy foods don’t have to suck. Try out some of the menu ideas below to satisfy your taste buds and your waistline.
