It’s getting to the final weeks on The Biggest Loser!

Last night was another exciting episode.

Danny got a great treat for having lost the most weight in week 11 and The Biggest Loser Chef Curtis Stone dropped by to show him and his family how to cook healthy homemade recipes.

Chef Curtis Stone showed Danny and his family how to take a traditional baked potato recipe (which contains 850 calories) down to a healthier option with his Turkey Chili inside a baked potato recipe (which ONLY contains 209 calories)!

I tried getting the recipe last night, but couldn’t find it. This I was lucky because a source of mine sent me the clip of Chef Curtis Stone helping Danny and his family make better/healthier food choices!
