Cheesy “Fried” Mozzarella Bites

Today’s post is a special one for me. When I first started Weight Watchers and my own weight loss journey, Gina’s fabulous (and incredibly popular!) blog SkinnyTaste was where I found almost all of my favorite recipes. Not only were her recipes delicious and easy to follow, they were packed with flavor. Moreover, her dishes never felt like diet food. I could confidently cook them for family and friends without anyone pausing to wonder if it was healthy. All anyone was thinking about was how amazing it tasted. Fast forward a few years and it was in Gina’s blog where I found inspiration to start my own. Seeing her amazing ability to inspire and help others along their weight loss, healthy eating, and cooking journeys, I decided to start sharing my own kitchen adventures here at Slender Kitchen. She was and continues to be one of my favorite bloggers and a constant source of inspiration! So today I couldn’t be more excited to get a chance to share this recipe from Gina’s incredible cookbook, The SkinnyTaste Cookbook, with you all. It is packed full of amazing recipes and tips for creating a healthy kitchen and truly delivers on its catch phrase, “light on calories, big on flavor.” Today’s recipes for Cheesy “Fried” Mozzarella Bites is just one of many great recipes in the book. I highly, highly recommend checking it out. I made this recipe for game day and let’s just say they didn’t last more than about 10 minutes on the table. Delicious.
