    When you’re trying to eat healthy but you only want tacos and enchiladas.  What do you do? You whip up a clean enchilada mix.  Shove it into some scraped out zucchini top it with a little cheese, bake it, and enjoy! My husband gave me the eyebrow- you know, the one that The Rock used to dish out during those old school wrestling days?  So I cautiously set his plate down hoping for the best.  And he ate two boats.  Proud moment right there! These turned out so yummy!  I hope you enjoy!   Ingredients:   3 medium zucchini or yellow squash, halved and seeds scraped out (save the insides…

    Roasted Balsamic Veggies

    Balsamic vinegar is my jam.  I eat it on a lot of things.  I’m weird like that.  Salad. Chicken. Rice. Quinoa. Steak. Tilapia (see, weird).  So I had to do it on veggies.  Ok. One word.

    Chicken and Veggie Tostadas

    Taco Tuesday!  I wanted to switch it up tonight and try something different. I had to take a CPR class this evening so I knew a crock-pot recipe was a must.  With nursing school starting up in just a few weeks, I have a strong feeling that the crock-pot will be getting some good use again.  So after coming back from a 6 day vacation last night and not being able to get to the grocery store yet, I had to work with what was left in the fridge.  I had some zucchini, some peppers, and a bag of frozen chicken.  Aside from that I had some corn tortillas left…

    Zucchini Chips (Fixate Cookbook)

    These turned out to be just perfect!  And when you can get away with serving your kids “chips” for dinner, it’s a win-win!  Keep an eye on these while you’re cooking, if they’re cut too thin they can crisp up quickly.  I tried turning the temp up a bit to cook them quicker and they did ok, but cooking low and slow is ideal. Zucchini Chips Ingredients:  2 large zucchini, sliced thinly with mandolin slicer or paring knife (be careful!) 3-4 tsp EVOO Sea salt to taste Instructions:  Preheat oven to 225*.  Slice zucchini thin.  Pat dry with paper towel.  Drizzle lightly with oil,  Bake on parchment lined cookie sheets…

    Sloppy Joe Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

    There comes a moment when I’m putting together a recipe when I pause and close my eyes and imagine how it’s going to taste when it’s complete.  Not too often do they come out EXACTLY as my tastebuds had envisioned but this was one of those recipes that did.  If I could pick a food to live on for the rest of my life, sweet potatoes might just be it.  Punctured with a fork, wrapped in foil, and baked at 400* for 45 minutes and I’m in potato heaven.  I love carbs, but I digress.  This turkey sloppy joe meat could be served on whole grain rolls as a sandwich,…
