Mexican HEALTH-ified

Do you love Mexican food? I do IF:  it comes from Cafe Rio, is homemade, has lots of flavor, is not full of too-much cheese/sour cream, or is a bit spicy.

My husband LOVES Mexican so naturally we eat it often (more often than I ever did before we were married anyway). So I am always on a quest to make it tasty AND healthy!

In the MIX, you ask? Here it is:

*Black Beans

*Fat Free Refried Beans

*Salsa

*Canned Chicken

*garlic

*peppers and onions

*Taco and Cumin seasoning

(cook the above over a stove for about 10 mins)

after, add:

*Lettuce

*Light Sour Cream

*dash of Cheddar Cheese (my husband had a bowlfull on his...he adores cheese. Me, not so much)

*Whole wheat tortilla

Roll it all up and CHOW down, friends!

YUMM. I adore SALSA!

Go ahead and try it, you will LOVE it. Find yourself craving it, probably. Happy Cookin friends! What are SOME ways you make Mexican a bit more health-ified?

a delicious friday night meal

I was home alone while the hubby was at work.... so what did I have for dinner?! I bet you want to know! Here it is: 

YUMMY

 IN the mix: 

whole wheat English muffin, 2 eggwhites, some lettuce, 1 light laughing cow cheese (blue cheese flavor), one shake of spices, and an apple and WATER on the side. Get in my belly!

 Now, go and make it yourself- it is delish and healthy (protein, good carbs, some flavor, fiber, and a bit of healthy fat). ENJOY! But try not to lick your fingers at the end...
