Shrimp Fried Rice

I may be most excited about this recipe find, because I am a huge lover of some Asian cuisine! Fried rice is one of my guilty pleasures, so this is the best thing since sliced bread to me! I have no idea who the original creator of the recipe is to give them credit, but here was what I came across on a 21 Day Fix approved meal site with my own little spin on it!

*Extra awesome factor- it is 100% MAN APPROVED! Stephen gobbled this bad boy up!

Healthy Taco Salad

I love any chance I can get to have a Southwestern meal without a ton of unhealthy carbs and fat! Taco salads are also one of my go-to meals at restaurants (and have them hold the sour cream and nachos, of course!)

Here's a delicious and SUPER cheap recipe you can make at home in a jiffy, that everyone will love!

Healthy Taco Salad

What You'll Need

-1 lb. lean ground turkey
-1 bag of frozen Southwestern vegetable mix (sold at Sam's) including corn, black beans, onion, red and green pepper
-2 cups shredded low fat cheddar cheese
-Romaine lettuce
-1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning or homemade taco seasoning
*optional: homemade guacamole or plain Greek yogurt in replacement for sour cream

Preparation:

1) Brown ground turkey in sauce pan until all the way cooked. In the meantime, be steaming Southwestern veggies until they are cooked.

2) Once ground turkey is done, drain water and add taco seasoning and vegetable mix. Cook together until seasoned to taste.

3) Make salad with washed romaine lettuce, and portion meat and vegetable mixture on top. Top with cheese, yogurt ("sour cream"), guacamole, and whatever other Southwestern toppings you love!

Devour & ENJOY!
