Cheeseburger Burrito


Cheeseburger Burritos....because I was craving a cheeseburger but for a little too lazy to make patties! So I wrapped em up and make something even more delicious!

Ingredients:
1 lb of lean ground beef (or turkey)
Whole wheat wraps
1tsp Garlic Powder
1tsp Onion Powder
1tsp Himalayan salt & pepper 
Shredded cheese
Whatever you like on your burgers! <-- I used pickles, mustard, tomato and purple onion. (Dont use lettuce as it will wilt when you grill) GET FUNKY!!! Think grilled onions & mushrooms, bacon, avocado, ham....

Directions:
1. Brown ground beef in a skillet with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.
2. Put ground beef onto your wrap and top with cheese, mustard, mayo and your preferred cheeseburger toppings!
3. Wrap it up like a burrito and grill 💕

Nesting at its finest! I am in love with comfort food with this colder weather coming around, Brodilynn asked for lasagna & Andre LOVES pasta....so WINNER WINNER on this one! All 3 pasta dishes literally took me an hour to the table and freezer AND it was all under $30!! You cant beat this one <3 This meal is amazing for those people doing 21 Day Fix, Core De Force or any other color coded meal plan!! <--- and we ate the whole pan!! lol

Sausage & Spinach Stuffed Shells

I doubled this recipe and put into 3 - 9x9 baking dishes (one glass for supper tonight & 2 foil ones to freeze!)

Ingredients:

1 Package Large Shells (brown rice noodle variety is my favorite) <--- manicotti tubes would also work if you cant find big shells!

1 cup Ricotta cheese
1/2 750g tub of Cottage Cheese
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella

1/2 cup Shredded Cheese for topping (I used more mozzarella and a little parmesan)

Directions:

1. Preheat over to 400.
2. Cook the shells according to package directions, drain & let cool.
3. In a large pan, brown sausage. Remove from heat, cool & crumble.
4. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, garlic powder & spices. Add cooled sausage. Mix together.
5. Add a cup of pasta sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. (or 3 9x9 dishes if doubling recipe to freeze)
6. Fill your cooked shells with mixture and place filling side up in the baking pan.
7. Top with cheese
8. Cover & Bake for 45 minutes.

FOR FREEZING:

1. In foil dishes, complete to step 7. Cover with foil & label "350 degrees for 2 hours from frozen"

Turkey Stir-Fry


I'm sure you guys have figured out by now that I LOVE my throw and go lunches! Im not much of a salad person, or a chicken breast and broccoli kinda gal so these types of lunches (or dinners) are my JAM!  The best part about this one is that I got 5 meals all prepped and ready to eat under 20 minutes for under $15!  You cannot beat that!

Turkey Stir-Fry


Ingredients:

- 1lb Ground Turkey
- 5 cups chopped veggies, whatever you have in the fridge! (I used broccoli, green beans, and peppers in this one but onions, zucchini, cauliflower etc would be amazing too!!)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp grated ginger (I use the organic stuff in the tube for convenience)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic (again, I use the organic tube stuff)
- 1 cup veggie broth (or chicken broth is delicious)

**Cook 2.5 cups of Brown Rice for meal prep**

Directions:

1. Brown your ground turkey in a large pan.  Place in a bowl and set aside. 
2. Heat coconut oil, add garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes (DO NOT let it burn!).  
3. Add your veggies, your cooked turkey and toss, cook for 3 minutes. Add broth, cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes.  
4. Uncover, turn up the heat and cook off the extra liquid <--- watch it! your liquid will go fast!

*Cut your entire meal into 5 servings! <--- this is one portion.  Add your portion to 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice.

I topped mine with Bragg's Aminos & hot sauce.

**21 Day Fixers** one prepped meal is 1 red, 1 yellow (with rice), 1 green & 1 tsp!

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookies


So I recently discovered an allergy to dairy in our little family! This means diving even deeper into our journey with clean eating recipes, substituting good for the not so good and finding family favorites my picky little one will actually eat!

I have been a HUGE skeptic of dairy for a long time! I removed dairy (well about 75%) from my diet a few months back after discovering it was the cause of my acne!! So we have already made a few of the major switches but I still LOVED cheese....

So to start our transition, we decided to make some completely clean-eating DAIRY FREE cookies this afternoon!! Hope you love them as much as me....this pregnant momma ate 4 😂😂


Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

1 Cup Quick Oats
3/4 Cup Quick Oats made into Oat Flour by blending really good (I used this as a flour substitute)
  • 1.5 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan Salt
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 Ripe Banana
  • 3 Tbsp Coconut Oil, melted and cooled to room temp.
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
  • 3 Tbsp Egg Whites (or one large egg)


2 Tbsp Vegan Cream Cheese (yes, it actually tastes like cream cheese and has the same texture!!)
2 Tsp Almond Milk
1 Tsp Stevia 
1/4 tsp Vanilla

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, mash banana then add vanilla, egg, maple syrup, and oil.  Once blended, add to the dry mixture and combine together.  Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray cookie sheet. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough into your hand and slightly roll into ball, don't handle too much or your hands will warm your dough and it will melt.  Place ball into cookie sheet and press down slightly flat with a fork.
Take 14 cookies. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool 15 minutes on a cooling rack.

3. While cooling, Mix together last 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whip until smooth.  Once cookies are cooled, drizzle the cream cheese into the cookies!

Once you try them, I'd LOVE to hear from you and get your feedback!!  Please comment below this recipe!!!
