Family favorite meal (lose weight meal) that is budget friendly and healthy

Hannah Lucio

We all have days when we are not feeling our best. We feel bloated, fat and just down right yucky. When I start feeling this way I make my favorite meal and eat it often. Mainly at dinner time. After eating it for dinner the first night I feel so much better the next day. This is also my key way to losing the baby weight this time around also. I lost the baby weight twice as fast this time around. The first time it took me a bit longer. It tastes really really good too! It is approved by my husband and toddler also. So this is our go to meal. It is simple, easy and budget friendly. We are doing Dave Ramsey’s Snowball so this is a great meal on a lower meal budget.

Ingredients:

1.5 lb Organic Ground Turkey (From Costco, or 1 lb package from the store)

2-3 Cans Black beans

3 Bell Peppers

4 Tbsp Taco Seasoning

Organic tortilla chips

Cast Iron pan. You need to add everything together. A dutch oven would work just fine also.

This meal feeds us 3 for about 4 days.

Directions:

  1. Cook ground turkey on stove and set aside. *picture below

2. While turkey is cooking cut up Bell Peppers *picture below

3. Cook the bell peppers for about 10 minutes on medium heat.

4. Drain 1-2 cans of black beans. Depending on how many cans you put in your recipe. If you put in 3 cans, drain 2 cans. If you put in two cans, drain 1 can. Make sure to put in one can of black beans, not drained, into the recipe.

5. Add the cooked turkey, black beans and taco seasoning to the bell peppers. Mix together and cook for about 5-10 minutes.

Done!

 

Enjoy! And enjoy often! I hope this concoction makes you feel better as much as it did for me.

Yummy Taco Seasoned Potatoes 

Hannah Lucio

This is one of our family favorite. It is a meatless meal but super easy to mix it up and put meat on it. This is actually a pretty healthy meal and everyone loves it. And it is really inexpensive.


Ingredients: 

3-4 large Potatoes

3 Tbps Taco Seasoning

1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 can Black Beans

1 Avocado 
Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Cut potatoes into little chunks. It doesn’t really matter which shape. I mix it up regularly . 

Put the Potatoes into a bowl and add the olive oil. Mix until all coated. 

Add the Taco seasoning and mix until all coated. 

Put into a greased baking pan, this time I used our cast iron skillet. Put in the oven for 20 minutes and test to see if the Potatoes are soft/cooked. They normally take 40 minutes total but I do not like to over cook them. After the 20 minute mark I will check on them about every 10 minutes. 

Once they are done, put them into a bowl or plate. Add black beans and top with avocado. 


I make many variations of this. You can add cooked ground turkey, shredded cheese and salsa. Making the Potatoes is just the base to so many different meals. 
I hope you get to enjoy them as much as we do!
