Brown Rice Bowl













This recipe is super healthy, easy and yummo!! Below is a serving for one. Everything in red is what I do to cook it for my whole fam.

½ cup cooked brown rice (6 cups)
2 oz. grilled chicken breast, diced (3 chicken breasts cooked in a little bit of olive oil and seasoned with Real Salt onion flavored)
1/3 cup corn niblets (16 oz. frozen corn heated)
1/3 cup cooked peas (16 oz. frozen peas heated)
Sundrenchers Asain Salad dressing or Teriyaki Sauce

Combine rice with chicken, corn, & peas. Then toss with sauce of choice. It is actually good without the sauce, but I love sundrenchers and it gives it an added asian twist. Sundrenchers is sweetened with agave and everything in it is organic. I have found it at Fresh Market and Good Earth. Add 90 calories for 1 1/2 TBS. to the calories below if you use it for your sauce.

Turkey Tacos

1 lb. Ground Turkey (browned and drained)
1 16 oz. Jar of Salsa
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning (1/4 cup)
Taco Shells (whole wheat or white)
Toppings

Combine all 3 ingredients in a Crock Pot. Cook on high 4 hours, low 8. (My Crock Pot cooks hot so I usually do 4-5 hours on low.) Serve in soft taco shells and top with sour cream, cheese, olives, lettuce (or whatever you like). Super simple, healthy, and way YUMMO!
