I just wanted to share what I had for dinner tonight. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I've been having a hard time eating lately because of horrible gas bubbles also so I was a little scared to eat today, but this has actually been pretty easy on my pouch.
It was:
1 tbsp lean ground beef (There was taco seasoning in the beef but it was so little

Sounds great! I don't eat red meat so I would substitute ground turkey.

that sounds really good. I love reading these kinds of posts for when I get to join everyone on the losers bench. Great ideas on getting in the protein

Ground turkey would be great. or even shrimp tacos. Yum.

ground turkey and turkey dogs are high in protein too :) we very rarely buy red meat.

We love to make taco wraps with lettuce in our family very healthy.

You can also use Morningstar Veggie Crumbles. They look and taste just like ground beef. I used a packet of McCormick low salt taco seasoning (in all grocery stores) and mix in about 1/4 cup of water. No oil or fat whatsoever, 10g of protein in 1/2 cup of the crumbles. I make an entire packet (equal to about 1lb of burger) and then freeze the rest in 4 oz packages for future use. Good stuff! Sometimes I'll just top it off with Pico De Gallo and sometimes add cheese and then scoop it all up on 6 corn chips. (still much less fat than burger or turkey including the 1/2 serving of chips)

I love Morningstar Farms foods!! Yum!! Great idea, thanks Dinae!!

And Brooklyn, thanks for the great site!!

We raise our own chickens and turkeys here (and quail) so we also have the benefit of knowing whats in our food. We also grow most of our veggies too, which reminds me I have to go pick some kale and spinach before it gets too hot!! lol
