Since I started eating healthier it has been a struggle for me. I have a huge sweet tooth and I have been craving something sweet. Unfortunately, most sweets are way too many calories and since I can only consume 1700 calories per day, I refrain from indulging in sweets. Well, my cravings were getting out of hand so I decided to look up “healthy sweets” on Pinterest. I came across this recipe for Peanut Butter Protein Bites and I decided to give them a try.
Here is what you will need: ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup old fashion oats ½ ground flax seeds 2 tablespoons honey Directions: Combine all 5 ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir to combine then place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling. Roll into 12 bites. They will last about a week. These bites were delicious and did a pretty good job killing my craving. If you are like me and have a horrible sweet tooth give these a try and maybe you will see the same results as I did. As usual, if you try this recipe send me pictures and tell me how it went!

Have you ever taken out ground beef and not knew what you wanted to make with it? I hate to admit it, but half of the time when I take out ground beef I rarely know what to make. I feel I make the same few things every time. Well, one day I was not feeling it, I looked in my pantry and saw I had Doritos, then decided to just be lazy and make Taco Salad.
Here is what you will need: 1lb of ground beef. (browned and drained) 1 bag of Taco seasoning (optional) A bag of Doritos (Crushed. I used Nacho Cheese) Salad fixings (I bought baby greens salad mix) 1 tomato (chopped) Half a cucumber (chopped) As much shredded cheese as you like 1 Tbsp of your favorite dressing or salsa Directions: I start by seasoning my beef with garlic powder and onion powder then brown my meat. Some people prefer to use taco seasoning, but I am not the biggest fan of it. Once the meat is cooked I drain the excess fat and put more of my seasonings on the beef and mix thoroughly. Some people also like to get their salad fixings and make a salad from scratch, but I am not one of those people. I cheated and bought a salad mix. I wash my salad, then mix my salad, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Serve salad onto a plate, add meat, put crushed chips onto salad and meat, and then put shredded cheese and salsa (or dressing) on top. I used Sadie’s green chile salsa for my dressing, but you can use any dressing or salsa you like. I’ve also seen people use the snack size bags of Doritos and do the exact same thing I did. If you do it that way, you can have Taco Salad on the go! I hope you enjoy this yummy recipe for Taco Salad. If you try it, please tell me how it comes out and show me pictures!
