April Challenge Day 2 & Baked Taco Soup

Day 2

 

For breakfast I woke up starving so I was ready to get to work and have my usual egg and spinach omelet.

 

Then for lunch I headed across the street and had Salsaritas.

 

I created a bowl with black beans, pintos beans, grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, light cheese, grilled peppers and onions and salsa.

 

 

Around 3 it was snack time!! Yogurt and grapes.

 

After I got home from work I was in the mood to create a new recipe so I stopped by the grocery store and walked around till I made up my mind on what I wanted to make.

 

What you will need

ground turkey

black beans drained

pinto beans drained

Mexican corn drained

rotel tomatoes and green chili's drained

taco sauce

taco seasoning

non fat Greek yogurt

 

Start my lining your baking dish with the black beans and pinto beans.

 

Then cook your ground turkey and add in the taco seasoning.

Then top your beans with the seasoned ground turkey.

 

Then add your rotel tomatoes and green chilies,

 

then a layer of non fat greek yogurt.

 

Top the greek yogurt with the mexican corn,

 

then last the taco sauce.

 

Place in oven (375') and let cook for about 20 minutes.

Then take out and top with reduced fat mexican blended cheese.

 

Let cook until cheese is melted.

 

Once it is cooled. Enjoy and bowl of this healthy, low calorie, low carb Baked Taco Soup.

It heats up well for lunches.

Day 2 success!!

April Challenge Day1

Yesterday it really felt like Spring so I thought I would pull out my bright colors and enjoy. I love everything about it

 

 

Like I mentioned Monday I am doing an April Challenge. I basically am going to be doing what I did when I first started my blog. For the entire month of April I will have no soda, not even diet, no bad carbs and no sugar.

 

So here I go!

 

Day 1

 

For breakfast I had an egg and spinach omelet with hot sauce. No cheese.

 

Throughout the day I snacked on 30 pistachios

 

Then at lunch I had a grilled chicken salad with romaine lettuce, spinach, red peppers, mozz cheese, grilled chicken with balsamic vinaigrette.

 

After work I headed over to hangout with this little man and grill out.

 

For dinner I had grilled chicken , green beans and corn.

 

Throughout the day I really wanted a diet coke but I pushed through. I would say day one was a success, wouldn't you?

 

Happy Wednesday!!
