I finally tried this recipe that I’ve seen in multiple places on social media. Just as I suspected it would, the mix of flavors made me 🤔

It’s interesting, simple and tasty. AND it got me to try something new - HOT Honey!

Ingredients:

Ground Beef: 3oz
Sweet Potato: 1/2 of a medium
Low-fat Cottage Cheese: 1/2 cup
Avocado: 1/2 a small
HOT Honey: 1 Tb

= Protein, complex carbs, healthy fat and fiber all in one bowl 👍

I cooked the ground beef with only salt and pepper. Sweet potatoes were steamed with no seasonings as they are naturally deliciousiously sweet.

BTW, am I the only one who didn’t know HOT Honey existed?? YUM!! 😋

Tried this Mexican dish today and I must say... YUM! YUM! YUM!!

What I did today:

Ingredients:

1 # grass fed ground beef
Seasonings
4 mini peppers, chopped
5 green onions, chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can mexican corn, drained
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
1 can chilis

Browned the ground beef, drained, then added my own blend of seasonings I use for mexican: oregano, chili powder, onion salt, cumin, garlic powder and a dash of cloves. Note: Packaged taco seasoning is easy peasy. Added the peppers and onions and sautéed for a bit until the peppers were softened.

In a large bowl, mixed the black beans, corn, tomatoes and chilis.

Added the ground beef, peppers and onions. Stirred well.

Placed in a casserole dish and placed in oven preheated to 350 degrees. Baked for 20 mins, until heated through.

Served over riced cauliflower and topped with avocado, banana peppers and taco sauce.

Delicious!

What I may do differently next time:

1. Keep the meat separate (multiple proteins would work with this recipe - shredded chicken, ground turkey, ground beef or even shrimp). This would keep tracking of protein intake more accurate.

2. With meat separate, sauté or microwave the peppers and onions with seasonings and add to the other ingredients.

3. If adding the meat to the mixture, only add 1/2 of the cans of black beans, corn and tomatoes. This would make the dish heavier on protein. If you are feeding a family, could consider using the full cans and double the protein.

This recipe would be delicious served over rice, rolled in a tortilla or even enjoyed with eggs for breakfast.

Enjoy!! 😋

When you have grandchildren, the Halloween candy jar cannot be empty. No no no! Our question every year is how many times will we need to refill it before the holiday though??? 🤪
