-Cucumbers
-Chicken
-Hard-boiled eggs

Shake before using and dump into a bowl or on a plate!


Simple Tostadas: Ground beef, lettuce, mozzarella cheese and salsa topped on a corn tortilla.



Whole30 approved breakfast hash. SO freakin' good!!!! Meal prep done for the week
I doubled the recipe:
-2 packages aidells chicken and apple sausages
-2 sweet potatoes

Cut up, place in bowl then mix in extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 420 for 30-45 minutes



Mix together corn on the cob, potatoes (sweet and regular), sausage, chicken, carrots, peppers, onions and Cajun seasoning in a huge cream can. Cook under heavy flame for 1 hour and enjoy!

Brussel Sprouts:

Taco salad:
Whole wheat tortilla baked in the oven as the bowl then layered with spinach, mozzarella cheese, wild rice, seasoned turkey burger and salsa

Fajitas:


Zucchini Taco Bake:

-10 oz rotell or salsa
-I also added in corn
-Bake zucchini in seasoning and olive oil for 20-30 minutes in oven then add to stovetop mixture, top with mozzarella cheese and enjoy!



This isn't really a recipe but just a friendly reminder to stay on track! Sometimes it's easy to veer off which is fine IF you get back to it. I was off track over the weekend so I made sure to get right back to my clean eating on Tuesday (after the Memorial Day weekend). This is my favorite way to eat green beans (steam in pot with a little water at the bottom and cut up bacon for the flavor-steam until soft). The flavor is amazing and they are healthy green beans!

Pot Roast:
-Shoulder roast
-Potatoes
-Green peppers
-Onions
-Carrots
-Seasoning of your choice
-1 cup of water
-Place in crockpot on low for 8-10 hours



Dinner was bomb! This prego mama is very happy! Veggie noodles with grilled sausage pasta sauce and a side of baked zucchini:

Random dinner but it actually turned out to be good! I started cooking and realized that we forgot pasta sauce (we were planning on making zucchini spaghetti) so instead of getting back out and going to the store, I just created a random dinner with what we had.
-I made Parmesan zucchini and baked it at 400 for 20 minutes
-Then I took already cooked turkey burger, topped it over the zucchini with seasoning and mozzarella cheese and cooked that for another 5-7 minutes
-Added a little RedHot and boom! DinnerπŸ˜ƒ
Pretty much threw it together but it was yummy!


Dinner tonightπŸ‘ŒπŸΌ Easy and in the crockpot:
-andouille sausage (or sausage of your choice)
-green peppers
-onions
-potatoes
-mushrooms
-any other veggies of your choice
-add in seasoning of your choice
-Put in crockpot on low for 6-8 hours




Chicken Taco Salad:
-Flip a muffin pan upside down and place tortilla in between sides to create the taco bowl shape. Cook for 10-15 minutes at 400.
-Put anything of your choice inside: chicken, ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, salsa etc.
-Top with plain Greek yogurt (substitute for sour cream)

This spicy shredded chicken is one of my favorite recipes! It's so easy and can be used in so many different ways: tacos, fajitas, taco salad, tortilla soup, quesadillas or just by itself. 
Put in crockpot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours:

It was quite the process but it was SO worth it! This is probably my new favorite healthy dinner.
Meatballs:
-Dip in egg whites, roll into balls and put in casserole dish. Top with RedHot, Mrs. Dash extra hot seasoning (no salt) and top with green peppers. Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.
Spaghetti squash:
-Microwave until soft and dig out the middle, place middle in casserole dish and mix extra virgin olive oil in. Bake at 450 for 25 minutes.
Once spaghetti squash is done, put meatball mix on top and bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
