Picture and recipe from Iowagirleats
Here's her doing the recipe in steps kind of: iowagirleats
1. combine 1 egg + 1 egg white, hot sauce, and salt & pepper in a bowl, and whisked it all up.
2. While I quickly cooked my eggs in a skillet on the stove, I simultaneously warmed a serving of yellow corn tortilla chips in 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce in another skillet. (LOVE these chips – restaurant quality for $2!)
3. Pour the warmed and saucy chips in a bowl, then add your eggs. Top with cheese, avocado and salsa – and you are set!

1 lb extra-lean ground beef or turkey (used turkey)
1 clove garlic, minced (used onion powder)
1 onion, diced — or in our family onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 10-oz can enchilada sauce, mild or hot(I used hot)
1 8-oz can tomato sauce, no salt added
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can chili beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed(used pinto)
1 17-oz can corn, undrained
1 large zucchini, shredded (ummm didn't use zucchini but definately will next time!)
1 4 1/4-oz can chopped olives (didn't use these)
8-10 corn tortillas, torn into quarters
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese, reduced-fat (I used fat free)

Brown turkey meat. Drain of grease. Season with salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder (I probably should have used some more seasoning... it lacked a tad bit in the taste with me, but my husband didn't say anything ;) he loved it!). Add sauces, beans, corn, zucchini and olives. Place 1 cup (umm I put 3 cups for the 1st layer) meat mixture in the bottom of a large casserole dish or two smaller ones. Add a layer of the torn corn tortillas. Repeat layers until meal mixture and tortillas are used, ending with the meat mixture.

Cover and bake at 350 or 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and let stand 10 minutes before serving.

**When I don’t have zucchini, I have used yellow squash, chopped spinach, or shredded sweet potatoes. They all work. (this is what trainermomma said)

Whole Wheat Pancakes

These were... tolerable... I froze a bunch so we will see if they get better.

Next morning review- ok these were actually good ! I froze the rest yesterday after making them and popped one in the toaster this morning! how fun right!? They were good yay!! I'm happy now!


They were about 90 calories a pancake.. so that's good.. right.. somethin good.. haha maaan I need a yummy pancake recipe!!

Here's the recipe if you want to have a go at it: Trainer Momma

Whole Wheat Pancakes
2 c whole wheat flour ( I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of white flour)
2 T sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 c skim milk
2 eggs
2 T canola oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Turn griddle onto medium. Stir all ingredients together until smooth.

*I like to let my batter sit for about 5-10 minutes here. It just seems to thicken slightly and not be so runny.

Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter on hot griddle. When the bubbles form and when it is brown on the bottom, flip it!
