The new year is in full swing. My guess is that many of you made some resolutions that relate to food. Maybe you are going to try to eat healthier, eat more vegetables or maybe your goal is to cook at home and avoid the high cost of eating out?!

I decided that I am going to try to eat better and reduce my snacking. Notice that I didn’t say anything about dieting. Diets can be so restricting and a slip up can make me feel like a failure. My resolution to eat better means that I simply change a few habits. I am starting by trying to increase the amount of protein and veggies in my weekly menu. It’s a good option for me and my growing boys.

Now that doesn’t mean that I am going to sacrifice taste at mealtime. I would have a revolt on my hands if I dared to serve up boring or tasteless meals. With a little creativity and a few key ingredients, I can have delicious dinner on the table that my whole family loves.

Take this Creamy Mushroom Pork & Zoodles recipe as an example. It’s packed with lean protein and lots of veggies, plus thanks to a tub of Arla Skyr Cream Cheese, it’s rich, creamy and tastes amazing!

I chose Arla Skyr Cream Cheese for the taste and simple ingredient list. Arla Skyr Cream Cheese starts with the classic Arla cream cheese recipe and introduces Skyr, an Icelandic-style yogurt, into the mix, resulting in a great-tasting Icelandic cream cheese spread that’s naturally higher in protein and lower in sugar and fat than their Original Cream Cheese.

It only takes a few ingredients to put together a fantastic dish that everyone loves.
