Yummy blog!

So it's been 2 weeks since I started this diet, had 1 weekend of splurging but I have been able to stay on track since then. Walked everyday and managed a trip to the gym. Now only if they would make it free to join I could go everyday. My last blog I put a yummy fish and asparagus recipe. We had it for 2 days but yesterday I was stressed to the max. And what do us food addicts do when we are stressed? Comfort eat. Buuuut I only splurged on a Panera's Cheddar and Jalapeno bagel with a personal cream cheese (I did not use it all, maybe about half). I was craving tacos, bad, I wanted some fresh yummy salsa all over a crunchy tortilla filled with guacamole, cheese and shredded chicken. So I found an improvision. I made an amazing taco salad.

1/2 lb ground chuck from Clark's (I usually eat ground turkey but I get nervous when there are E.Coli outbreaks)

1/2 packet of McCormick taco seasoning
1 whole beef steak tomato
1/2 avocado
Salsa for dressing
Romaine lettuce
1 cup of yellow corn niblets - which I forgot to put in :(


Brown the meat then drain the fat (you can even rinse off the meat to get the extra fat off) Mix in the taco seasoning and follow the directions on the packet. Cut your others veggies and serve.

This recipe fed me and the hubby and we had left over meat, you can double it for a larger family though. This dinner was only 455 calories, and it filled me up the rest of the night. I am on a 1,000 calorie diet. I hate to count but with a website called SparkPeople.com I can put all of my food in and it calculates all the food for me. I suggest using this site if you have a hard time keeping track.
