Recap on Taco Tuesday

Good morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful night! I wanted to start off the day with a quick blog about my awesome dinner. It was Taco Tuesday, so I had to make something Mexican. I decided to try a quick and easy recipe I got from the Student’s Vegetarian Cookbook (something I picked up from home because years ago I was a vegetarian for about a year). I chose the Green Chili Quesadillas. Let me tell you this meal took me about 10 minutes from start to finish and it was soooo good!

Cooking Ingredients:

1/4 can vegetarian refried beans (I used a green chili mixture)

2 tbsp diced green chilies

2 tortillas (I used Ezekiel sprouted grain)

Shredded mozzarella cheese (I used vegan)

Salsa (I used fresh)

Cilantro

Cooking instructions:

1) Spray a pan with Pam and heat on stovetop at medium

2) Add green chilies to the refried beans and mix

3) Place tortilla flat on the skillet and spread the bean mix, shredded cheese, and cilantro on one half

4) Once tortilla has softened fold in half, let heat for around 2 minutes, then flip and heat the other side 2 minutes.

5) Enjoy!!

These were SIMPLE and really delish. Wonderful crunch to the shell and soft, spicy beans on the inside.

I heated up some Birdseye Steamed broccoli for a side and I was set! (*I forgot to mention the other day when grocery shopping I stocked up on 5 bags of Birdseye steamed veggies because they were on sale for 88 cents each! Score!)

For a late night snack I had some Ezekiel cinnamon raisin sprouted grain cereal in almond milk. This cereal actually tastes pretty weird, but I have already acquired a taste for it and now I really enjoy it.

This morning started off again with a Green Monster!

Today’s Ingredients:

3 ice cubes

1 tbsp almond butter

1 tbsp flax seed meal

1 tbsp chia seed meal

2 cups spinach

1 banana

1/4 cup organic pumpkin

It was very good, I meant to throw a little cinnamon in, but I forgot! Bummer.

Well its homework time for me! I have today off for my workouts, every body needs some recoup time, always remember that! Hope everyone has a great day!
