what's for dinner? chicken fajitas

Hi guys, I have not done a post in sometime now! I'm hoping to do some crafts this summer for you guys too ;) && now to the food. 

Here is my fajitas with everything on it. Hummus, grilled chicken, peppers, onions, shredded cheese.

 First, grill the chicken and add some chili powder, ground cumin, salt & pepper. We not have the luxury to have an outside grill in our apartment, so we have multiple sizes of George Foreman's. 


So, when the chicken is getting done, chop up 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, and I did half an onion. It was such an easy meal, and oh my gosh, I outdid myself! YUMM!!

Enjoy guys,

what's for dinner? cheeseburger casserole

If you didn't think you could mix cheeseburger and a casserole, you would be wrong! YOU CAN


Recipe

2 cups rotini pasta
1 cp chopped scallions
garlic powder
1 lb of ground deer meat(you can use beef)
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp tomato paste
28 oz diced tomatoes
2 tbsp mustard
grated cheddar cheese
1/4 c chopped dill pickles

350 degrees for 20 minutes


  • Cook your meat, I use my micro cooker to cook my meat. 
  • Then, I use my pasta boat to cook my noodles. 
  • While my noodles are cooking I sprinkle some garlic powder onto my meat.
  • Pour your tomato paste, diced tomatoes, scallions, mustard, pickles, and meat into a big bowl. 
  • After the noodles are done mix everything together in the bowl. 
  • Pour your mix into a 9X12 dish.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes! Delish.
Hope you like it!

smoothies

I have been eating great lately. To keep me on track I decided to make a smoothie yesterday for lunch. I was stuck at home having a snow day (IOWA) It was actually really good. The more I drank it the more I liked it. It also filled me up!


1/2 c nonfat greek yogurt
1/2 c unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp PB2 (powered peanut butter)
2/3 c blueberries 
1 frozen banana

The only thing I would change is less greek yogurt, I really don't like greek yogurt.

no meat burrito, what?

Tuesday I made a no meat burrito, that was surprisingly good.



1 c. wheat rice
1 zucchini 
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of black beans
1/2 tsp Cummin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Lettuce
healthy wrap

what's for dinner? cheesy potatoes and ham

I finally, got myself a crock pot(a purple one) 
Sunday I woke up, bought one and started cooking. 


Potatoes: I bought and cut 10 small potatoes.

Ham: I bought turkey ham Jennie-O brand.

Cheese: I wanted to make my own cheese sauce. When I was at the store, I could not find Velveeta to save my life. So, I bought cheese soup in a can.

Extra: I had some left over sour cream, about a half a cup that I added. A triangle of laughing cow cheese. And had left over green onions from my stuffed shells

YUM!

chocolate chip cookies


made chocolate chip cookies saturday. they were healthy, but still delicious.

what's for dinner? taco stuffed shell


How I made it:

  • I cooked hamburger meat first. I always use my micro cooker

  • Then I used my pasta boat to cook my jumbo shells. I made 14.

  • While my shells were cooking I added my taco seasoning to my meat. I make my own taco seasoning(TOP SECRET) you can use any store bought kind.

  • Next, I added 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese into the meat mix. (healthier than cream cheese)

  • I stuffed the shells with the meat mix. I put them in a tiny casserole dish. 7X11?

  • I topped them with salsa and taco sauce. Covered it with tin foil and put it in the oven. 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

  • Added taco cheese on top, uncovered it and cooked for another 10 minutes.

  • Chopped up some green onions and ate it with a little low fat sour cream!




It does take some time to make it. I think next time I will prepare it on the weekend and freeze it for the week!

pizza dip. tanks. skirt

yesterday us girls were going to do a little patio sitting, but it turned out to be a really cloudy day :| so instead I went to goodwill, did some grocery shopping, and made PIZZA DIP!
 my mother has made this dip before and it is delish.
 great for when you have people over. it was perfect because we had something to eat when we came home from the bar ;)


what to do:

you can either eat this cold or you can bake it, eat it with crackers or chips! in a bowl, mix the cream cheese,1/2 c sour cream, and a tsp of oregano. put this mixture into your pie tin. top it with pizza sauce, as much cheese, green pepper, and crushed red pepper as you like. I'm not much of an onion eater but my boyfriend loves them, so when the recipe calls for them I just use minced onion. bake it on 400 degrees for 15 minutes

             





I bought some shirts at Goodwill and cut them into razor backs. 
I'm ready for summer!








I also bought...









we needed wine glasses, $2.99! These earrings, which I love $.75! I needed a basket for Easter Sunday to bring my goodies for the fam. not sure how much it was!

I didn't take any pictures Satruday night, but I did get a shot of my outfit!
