This one is so simple and so versitle,

you can clean out the fridge or pantry and it still taste so good each & every time.

Base-

Package of your favorite Sausage (I use italian or sage or whats on sale)

1/2 onion diced

2 garlic cloves diced

Broth (I use chicken but beef or veggie can work too)

Cooking-

Start by browing up the sausage,onion,garlic in the bottom of your pot

add in broth/cubes & water

Thats the basics of this soup,

from here on out its up to you, below I'm showing you tonights version, I'll also list a few that went very well in our house.

Tonight I added in a can of spinach (fresh or frozen works great too), a can of tomato sause and a small bag of shells

Tried & true versions:

Mushrooms (fresh or canned)

Mushroom & Zuchini

Spinach (fresh, frozen, canned)

Zuchini , tomato, motzarella cheese (tossed in when served)

Beef & 3 Bean Chili !



So perfect for this freezing snowy day.









Quick and easy I tell you.

Package of Chili seasoning
1 Onion-chopped
a couple Garlic Cloves-chopped
1 small can Tomato Sauce
1 regular can Tomatoes (here I used fire roasted)
1 can RoTel Tomatoes & Chiles

1 package Lean Ground Beef

I cook my own beans- black, kidney, red
I used 5 laddles worth-juice included
or of course canned works too

1 can black
1 can kidney
1 can red or pink

In my crockpot I heat up the beef, onions, garlic, seasoning.

Then just add in all the canned items plus 1 cup water.

Simmer 6 hours.

Serve with Fritos, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapenos.........




Now to be gluten free just check your seasoning package and select a different one if needed, obviously to be dairy free leave off those select toppings, slightly lowcarb/primal due to the beans you could always eliminate those and of course the Fritos too

~Tasty Tuesday~ anytime egg

Yep-
the anytime egg-
this is so easy, quick and versitle anyone can make this.
We have had this for breakfast, lunch, snack and yes, even dinner.







In a small pan,
heat up a tad of oil/butter/spray (whatever you like to use).
Place in corn tortilla, cook until slightly golden & flip for a minute, move it to your plate.
Place in your favorite breakfast meat (pictured here is a thick ham slice) I love bacon, it can even be sausage, heat/cook through, place on tortilla.
Add on your favorite cheese to the meat (pictured here is pepperjack) or if your dairy free (like me) skip this step.
Heat up a tad more oil/butter/spray if needed, fry egg, or scramble it if you'd like, place on cheese.
Top it off with tomato, avocado, jalapeno (or not).

Me-

So with this past week going as well as it has I'm feeling up to a diet again. I know over the years I couldnt stay with it but I really need a life long eating habit change. Here I go again, this time I'm cutting out dairy (hopefully to help with my acne issues) and starch (potatoes,pastas,bread,rice). I'll mainly be on meat/veggies/fruits and I'll add in egg & beans if I feel like it. I am off soda already, but will weed out the other drinks as time goes by, I enjoy my morning coffee way to much.

Lunch yesterday~
tuna (in oil=no soy product added), msprinkled w/ seasame seeds & soy
green beans w/ salt-pepper-garlic
boiled egg w/ rice srinkles
seaweed sheets

This can be GF w/ the right soysauce, LC too since theres no rice.
So good I almost didnt miss the Jasmin Rice I normally eat this with.

Over time I know this will get easier
