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!

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...

Chocolate protein bars

This is one of my most favorite recipes that I have adapted to fit our families needs and make on a weekly basis.  It provides protein and carbs to keep you full and satisfied for the morning!   Our kids literally have this breakfast every day and if I don't have them made, the kids are quite upset. They call them chocolate bars but that's very deceiving because there's not really much chocolate in it! These take 10 minutes max to make and then time in the fridge to set.  1+ cup natural peanut butter (I like Skippy) 1 cup local honey (for allergy sakes!) 1 1/3 cup oatmeal 3 scoops chocolate protein powder (I use Orgain) 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (if you don't have this, just do 5 scoops of protein powder) Then I dump in some flax seeds and chia seeds - not measured Heat peanut butter and honey on stove together.  Add in your other ingredients and mix well Spread in a container (I use a 9x13 Pyrex). Place in fridge overnight or freezer for an ...

So excited!!

Hey Happy Friday!!  Friday's are my absolute favorite weekday because I only have to work until 12ish!!  I get to come home and do whatever I want until I go get the kids from school!  It's amazing!!  Most of the time I go to the grocery store, clean, workout or chat with some friends - but it's my choice and I can do whatever I want! :) Yesterday I finished my latest workout program - 21 day fix extreme from Beachbody - heard of it? It is a fantastic workout because it has 7 different workouts to do weekly and it teaches you how to eat proper portions for your weight and activity level!  I love it and can see a lot of results from it when I am eating like I should...um, not this time....I just have a huge sweet tooth and sometimes it gets the best of me!  But I am learning to control it and have made huge strides from when I started 3 years ago!!  November 2013   October 2016 (silly cat!) I am going to keep going with 21 DFX un...
