Healthier Nachos

 

Healthier Nachos

   I just cooked up some ground turkey with taco seasoning, and added pinto beans seasoned with garlic with pepper and chipotle. There was also sour cream, cilantro, pickled jalapenos, onions, shredded cheese, queso, salsa and chips of course. 

   For lower calorie swaps I used on my plate Quest protein chips and greek yogurt instead of tortilla chips and sour cream. I also switched my shredded cheddar for the reduced fat version. Yum!

Italian Chicken Sausage Alfredo with Roasted Broccoli

 

Italian Chicken Sausage Alfredo with Roasted Broccoli

    This was pretty much a random clean out the pantry meal. I had some Italian flavored chicken sausage that I sliced and cooked in butter & EVOO with a chopped onion. Then I added jarlic with a squeeze of basil from a tube, and seasoned it with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper garlic and red pepper. Then I added a jar of alfredo and filled that with hot water and shook it around and added it to the pan. Then I plopped in some chicken boullion and the egg noodles and let it cook with the lid on for 10 minutes. After it was cooked I added a couple handfuls of spinach and some grated parm.

   Delicious! Everyone loved it. The broccoli is tossed in EVOO, salt, pepper garlic and air fried at 400 for 15 minutes. Then I tossed it in a little spray butter, lemon juice and canned parm. 

One Pot Chicken and Rice with Salad

One Pot Chicken and Rice with Salad

  If you ask my teenage son what he wants for dinner, he'll choose this chicken and rice. It's super quick and very good. I tend to make it like once a month because he loves it so much, I love when he loves my cooking. The salad was just an apple spice salad kit from Kroger which I love, in fact I need to stock up until they are out until next year!
