Recipes :)

I have a couple of favorite healthy recipes/meals that are super easy to whip up and I wanted to share them with YOU.

1. Homemade Flatbread Pizza

This is one of my absolute favorites. Ever since my cousin's hubby whipped this up for us, I've been hooked. Not only is a a much healthier choice than your local pizza place, it taste JUST as good to me, if not better! (Thanks Drewbie!) What you need:

1. 80 calorie flatbread

2. 1/4 cup of pizza sauce

3. 1/4 cup of white shredded cheese

4. turkey pepperoni (17 slices is only 60 cals- wowie!)

5. Canned pineapple (two slices cut up-60 calories!) 

6. Heat oven to 375, bake for 15 minutes, and voila- your very own pizza!

2. Fancy Schmancy Dinner, Right at Home!

It's so expensive to get a REALLY good meal out at restaurants anymore. So, my mom and I decided instead of ordering our favorite meal out (Salmon), we'd start cooking it at home. We found out FAST how much better AND cheaper it is to just whip it up in our own kitchen!  What you need:

1. 1 Salmon fillet (you can buy a bag of individually wrapped salmon for the price of ONE fillet you'd order out) About 5 minutes before salmon is done, glaze it with teriyaki sauce- UNBELIEVABLE!)

2. Sweet Potatoe (Takes a whole bit of 8 minutes to heat up!)

3. Broccoli (Takes 4 minutes to heat up. Sprinkle some cheese on there for more taste!)

Anddddddd there you have it! A wonderful dinner at home- and you don't have to tip! (Score!) 

3. Taco Soup (Mmmmmm!)

My mouth is watering just thinking about it! It doesn't help that I just made the soup this morning. It's completely eye balling me from the stove at this very minute! Anywho, if you like Mexican, beans or or a little spice then this is for you! What you need:

1 can red kidney beans

1 can pinto beans

1 can black beans

1 can yellow corn

1 chopped onion

3  16oz cans diced tomatoes with Green Chiles

1 package Taco Seasoning Mix

1 Package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing

Brown 1lb of ground beef (we use turkey beef) with chopped onions. Drain. Season with 1 package of Taco Seasoning mix and 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing.

Mix together all cans of vegetables. Don't drain any of the vegetables.

Add meat mixture to the canned vegetable mix and heat.

And there you have it! FYI: This soup goes PERFECTLY with tortilla chips! Just add sour cream, shredded cheese, or whatever else makes your little tummy smile!

Enjoy :)
