Postponed Weigh In

Today is supposed to be my official weigh-in day. But, I'm being lazy. Partially. I didn't take out my meat to make dinner early enough. So I'm going to fix dinner, and just go tomorrow morning.

Tonight I am making Taco Soup for dinner. Thought some of you might like this:

Taco Soup
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 oz Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Dry
1 package McCormick Taco Seasoning (30% less sodium),
15 oz Beans, pinto,
15 oz Beans, red kidney,
15 oz Yellow Sweet Corn, Canned
15 iz Beans, black
14.5 oz Del Monte Diced Tomatoes,
28 oz College Inn Chicken Broth (Light & FF)

Directions
In a large pot, brown ground turkey. Rinse canned foods (not tomatoes) to remove sodium. Add to pot. Cook for 20-30 minutes until.

I usually make a double batch and freeze in bowls of about two cups.

Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese (2% or fat free), top with 2 tablespoons fat free sour cream.

I thought all the giveaways were done with the Bloggy Giveaway. Not a chance. JohnIsFit is giving away a bike! I could definitely use one, as I've been riding my sons' bikes (on the rare occasions that I ride a bike outside). That boy bar is really annoying.

Two Recipe Tuesday

I'm not a gourmet chef. I was a very lazy cook, making the same meals over and over. In order for me to lose weight successfully, I needed to find recipes that were simple. There was no way I could eat baked chicken and salad every night.

As you can see from the title, I've designated Tuesday as the day I will share two recipes with you. One will be one I've tried, and the second will be one I've found online.

One of my family favorites recipe is Meatloaf Muffins. We love meatloaf, but the size I cut for myself is usually much larger than what I should have. So, I make this in a cupcake pan, and allow myself two. Along with my starch and veggies, I find myself fully satisfied.

Hope you enjoy!

MEATLOAF MUFFINS

Ingredients
1 pound raw extra lean ground beef or turkey
1 green & red bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion chopped
1 box stovetop stuffing
1 cup water
2 large egg white(s) (or 1/2 cup egg beaters)
1 package Taco Seasoning

Instructions
Mix every thing together in a bowl. Line muffin tin with paper liners. Put the mixture in each muffin and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until done.

1 or 2 muffins. Great for portion control!

These can also be frozen and microwaved.

I just came across this next recipe while dropping Entrecards. I love salmon, and had made this a long time ago. Unfortunately, I'd lost the recipe and am glad to have found this blog. My entire family loved these Salmon Pockets, and I hope you all do too.
