Let's just jump in, i have so much to share with you.



"Temptation Taco Salad"


This is everything you will need.
If you don't like Boca crumbles you can use white chicken chunks. They sell them pre-packaged in a yummy southwest flavor.


1 smart & delicious Tortilla
1 cup soy crumbles
 1 tbls taco seasoning
slasa
2 tbls fat free sour cream
low fat shredded cheese
pam spray
lettuce
tomatoes
olives


Preheat oven 425* degrees
1. Spray a small size glass bowl with pam





2. place tortilla in and fold along the sides to form a bowl



when oven is ready 
bake for 10-12 minutes.
(i do 12, i like it crispy)





meanwhile scramble soy crumbles



chop up lettuce and tomatoes


when bowls are done take out and let cool for about 5 minutes

 Add lettuce,tomatoes,cheese,soy or chicken.
top with:
 2 tbls FF sour cream
salsa and olives and a little more cheese.
ENJOY!

YUMMINESS!
The facts:
345 calories
40g protein
37g carbs
8.5g fat





Portion Sizes.
we all know that in America the portion sizes are way out of control. Jumbo this and super size that.
Lets get a handle on that.
these are a few rules i follow.


Protein = size of palm
Carbs = size of fist
1 oz cheese = size of a domino
fruits =size of palm


if you eat smaller meals more frequent through out the day you will rev up your metabolism, and you won't be hungry


I eat 6 times a day
about every 2 to 3 hours.
A protein and a carb
plenty of veggies.


Drink lots of water!


~Treats of the week~

Greek yogurt

The taco salad looks so yummy! Thanks for all the tips, Jessi! I missed out on the anonymous negative comments...sounds like someone needs to work on who she is instead of judging you & your life..maybe she's just jealous. Just pray for her.
love,
Sherry
