Taco Salad!

Tonight was something I make often and it is easy to feed everyone in the family pretty easily.

I ground turkey and then add El Paso taco seasoning. That is the taco meat we use.
I heat up refried beans.
Jar of salsa (Pace)
Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Taco sauce
Romaine lettuce
Taco shells or tortilla chips or Fritos

Make your own taco or taco salad. Could also add tomatoes, olives, avocado

Tasty!

Iphone pictures so excuse the quality :)  One day they may look better

Tonight's Dinner~BBQ Ribs!

Sadly forgot to take pictures of my pretty plate before eating, ha!  Sorry.  I will next time, but I still want to share what we had.  Again it was simple, as I am not in the mood for extravagant cooking this week, it's SPRING BREAK!

So I purchased Hormel brand, Lloyd's spare ribs, at Wal-Mart last trip to the store.  This is a new find we only recently found and have had only a few times.  I happened to see them and read the ingredients.  Pretty simple list, and they said "gluten free & soy free!"  So it was a winner.  We like them, they fall off the bone, and a friend has told me about them before and had good things to say.

 

Ribs was our main dish.  Our side dishes were this awesome quinua pasta, veggie curls.  I boiled them with some salt and a drizzle of olive oil until done.  Then melted some butter into them.  Smart Balance Light butter with flax is what we use...it is gluten and dairy free.  Boiled some frozen corn on the cob.  The end.  

Delish meal was served.  It was super filling and satifsying.  Nutritious.  Sorry I didn't take a picture, the plate was so pretty :)

More later...Love to you!

So Far

I am by God's grace alone eating gluten free for 2 weeks and 1 day now.  I am thankful for that.  I have eaten out a few times, probably 3, and think I ate gluten free, but cannot guarantee.  Today the tostada type things I had at a buffet were corn tortillas with cheese and a bean dip type sauce over top.  The cheese sauce could have had gluten.  I am not sure.  I have not gotten to the point where i am asking restaurants what is gluten free.  I am sort of guessing.  This is probably not the best thing for me to do.

 

I am learning lots of recipes and things that are really pleasing to my body and do not leave me hungering for more food.  I want to share some recipes and foods and things as I learn them.  Some of my favorites this week are:

• Chicken salad (made fresh myself)
• Egg salad (or just boiled eggs plain)
• Chili (from Wendy's) and add a little shredded cheese
• Tostada's-the shell with refried beans, sour cream, cheese, salsa, tomatoes and lettuce
• Several types of chocolate candy bars-rolo's being one of them
• Lays Stax-I like the cheddar flavor
• scrambled eggs with turkey sausage and a drizzle of syrup over it
• Apples dipped in caramel

That is some for now.  There are so many more.  I am so looking forward to seeing my body become healtheir and more energized as I continue eating to nourish my body.

More later!
