Glorified Rice and Beans
Been experimenting with more vegetarian dinners these days and this is a family staple. Rice and beans sounds boring but with all the fun extras, it’s an awesome dish.

Fajitas: Steak, Chicken or Vegetarian
Fajitas are a pretty healthy meal but I like to make a few improvements. First of all, corn tortillas are much better for you than flour so try that. Skip or cut down on the unhealthy dairy (cheese and sour cream) and add extra avocado. And go crazy on the veggies – add extra peppers and […]
