11/15/2016 2 Comments BURGER NIGHT!Burger night does not have to be given up when you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle, but it also doesn't have to be super greasy & fatty either! It also can be a quick & easy treat meal if you use my favorite kitchen appliance--the crockpot. Here is how I do my double decker burger nights at home--
INGREDIENTS: - 1 pound (1 pack with 4 burgers) of lean turkey burger patties -cheese of your choice (I usually go with cheddar, manchego, or gouda) -burger buns (whole wheat is the best option but picture is with white) -toppings of your choice, I usually go with all or some of the following:
RECIPE:
SIDES: I always switch up my sides but I usually like to get a side salad in with either:

I don't know anyone who doesn't take comfort in a warm bowl of some mac & cheese but let's face it, Krafts mac&cheese is NOT going to help you reach your goals. Buuutttt, I'm not asking you give up your cheesy treat-- just change it up a little bit with this homemade option that is healthier and yes, more delicious! This bowl of mac is made with REAL low-fat cheese, NO extra sodium, NO preservatives, and a more than a serving of your veggies for the day. So go ahead, enjoy your treat--guilt free! Thanks mom for the recipe :) INGREDIENTS: (Based on 1.5 box of elbow noodles... I usually make 2-2.5 boxes at a time so I have extra for some meal prep and leftovers)
RECIPE:
I like to serve mine with some grilled chicken or grilled turkey so that I also get a good source of lean protein. I recommend doing the same so that you have a balanced meal. 11/3/2016 2 Comments MEAL PLAN APPROVED NACHOS!This is the perfect meal to make when you are staying in on a weekend night and watching movies (or if you just are craving nachos)! Making your own tortilla chips is a much healthier option than a bag of Tostitos because it has significantly less oil, sodium, and preservatives. And, I think they taste even better too :) INGREDIENTS: (feel free to add or subtract any ingredients, have fun with it!)
