Taco Pizza

Hey!  So this past week I tried several new recipes - they were so good and everyone liked them!  I love when I can make healthy meals that everyone questions and then tells me how good it is!

Now, know that I don't really make these up by myself but I take other people's recipes and modify them to fit my family's likes and my health wants :)  I do, however, think I am getting better at coming up with my own creations!    

We love pizza here and we could eat it weekly for sure - and sometimes we do!  But having a lot of wheat too often makes my stomach feel terrible so even though I absolutely love it and will sacrifice most of the time, I can't do it all the time.  And that's where these tacos pizzas come in!  Instead of making my usual pizza crust all the time, I can use whole wheat tortillas or FlatOut wraps and then my stomach doesn't complain as much!



Ingredients:
Whole wheat or corn tortillas or FlatOut wraps
1 pound ground turkey
Taco seasoning (homemade is best!)
1 cup Shredded cheese (I used colby jack and shred it myself)
1-2 cups fresh salsa (or store bough sugar free)
Can of black beans
1 cup of frozen corn - thawed
olive oil spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray tortillas with olive oil and place directly on rack for 3-5 minutes until crisp
Brown ground turkey with taco seasoning
Top crisped tortilla with taco meat, black beans, corn, salsa and shredded cheese
Place pizzas back in the oven 10ish minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly

Slice in quarters and Enjoy with a side salad or some baby carrots for a complete meal!

Cookie dough balls

I saw this picture of what looked like cookie dough on my friends facebook page - she said she made it with Shakeology!  It absolutely looked amazing in the bowl, just like cookie dough.  And then she rolled it into balls for a quick snack - or in my kids case, BREAKFAST 😊 I modified her recipe a little bit and according to my husband I need to modify it a little bit more.  I thought they were good and the kids scarfed them down.  I guess if you don't like coconut at all, then you need to modify it as well - I'll tell you how I intend to but I can't promise anything at this point! Making these with Shakeology allows you to get 70+ amazing ingredients including superfoods, vitamins, protein, pre/probiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes....you know all that good for you stuff that most of us don't get on a daily basis and probably don't even know what it all is!  The way Shakeology is made though, the nutrients get delivered to you as a whole food (dri...

Homemade Granola Bars

I LOVE granola bars!  They used to be my go to snack when I was hungry between meals and then I started eating a little cleaner, so I avoided the store bought ones for a while.  We still bought them for the kids so they were around and I would look at them often!   I have given in and eaten them a couple of times recently, but the worst part of eating clean happened - some of my favorite foods don't sit so well in my stomach anymore!  Dang it for my stomach not liking the processed food with the chemicals 😉  I've tried a couple different recipes and they are all good, but I had to keep them in the refrigerator or they got too soft. So, this recipe I found the other day bakes them which I guess I always avoided because it would take longer.  However, baking them is totally worth it!  I have wrapped them individually so I can throw them into lunch boxes and they don't fall apart by the time lunch comes around.  AND they can sit out of the ...

Happy Holidays!

It has been a glorious 5 days off work and time spent with the family!  We normally travel for the holidays, but we had been traveling so much we decided to stay home and have Thanksgiving.  Our neighbor invited us over to join their family so I didn't have to make a big meal for the 4 of us - plus AJ said he would rather go out to eat than make a big meal that may get wasted.  So I accepted the invitation 😊 I did make some pies, chocolate chip cookies and a green bean casserole to bring over 😱 I did quite well with my eating and only had a little piece of cherry pie and pumpkin pie!  I told myself I wasn't going to have any, but I only eat pumpkin pie once a year so I couldn't resist myself! No skipping on the workout though and I tried to make the green bean casserole a little healthier - this (http://smilesandwich.com/2015/10/26/clean-eating-green-bean-casserole/) isn't the exact recipe I used, but similar.  I tried to follow the one on Beachbody on Dem...
