My Version of Taco Salad

       I don’t remember when exactly I had my first “Taco Salad”, but since then this became my favorite of all salads.  Here is my own version of Taco Salad without the tortillas and sour cream. Enjoy!

My own version of Taco Salad (1 portion)

3 lettuce leaves (I like red leaf lettuce, but you can pick your favorite)

½ cup ground taco beef (recipe)

½ cup kidney beans with chili (recipe)

¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or other) 

¼ cup sour cream substitute (recipe)

½ cup tomato salsa (recipe)

Of course if you add the tortillas that will make your salad so yummy! 

1 day worthy of healthy food

      Have you noticed that most of the time due to a busy life full of commitments, we fail to have one day worthy of healthy food.  How many times we have left the house without our breakfast? Then we skipped lunch and we grabbed the first fast food on our way back home.  We surrender to the famous burger with extra-large combo.  To be healthy, we need to prioritize what we eat.  Here is an outlook of an entire day worthy of healthy food.  Even if you don’t have much time to prepare your meals, you can plan ahead and bring your healthy food with you. If you eat out, select healthy food that will do well to your body.

breakfast
1 scrambled eggs, ½ banana with cinnamon, 2 strawberries, grits
lunch
salad with lettuce and 1 sliced tomato, 6 olives, 3 sliced maple glazed turkey breast, 1 cupped hand of shredded mozzarella, 1 tablespoon of salad dressing
snack
6 raw carrots, 1/2 sliced apple, 1/4 cupped hand of raisins, a few pistachios
dinner
1 cupped hand of rice, 2 drumstick stew with curry and potatoes, 2 sliced cooked beets
dessert
4 strawberries, 1 teaspoon of ricotta, a few raisins
