Healthy Spin on Duggar Recipes

I love the Duggars. I love their cheerfulness, their parenting, their dedication to Heavenly Father and I love seeing how they cook for a large family (especially as mine grows!) One thing about the Duggars is that they don't have the same diet as I do but I have a lot of fun adapting their recipes to my own standards :) Here's a few of my favorites.
