Today’s recipe is another easy and tasty one dish meal but with a Mexican flavor. I’m using lean ground beef, 93% fat free, but you could also use ground turkey. Start with a bed of crushed tortilla chips and then add sauteed ground beef with salsa, taco seasoning, and chili beans. Spread low-fat sour cream over the beef and bean layer. Sprinkle the fresh tomatoes, green onions, and black olives over the sour cream and top with grated Cheddar cheese. Bake until it’s hot and bubbly for a great dinner. I’d serve it with a green salad. I always look for lower fat sour cream and cheese as it’s better for you but still gives you great flavor. Regular sour cream is fairly high in fat and calories. Reduced fat sour cream has a similar nutrient profile and a pleasant taste but with fewer calories and about 38% less fat. I don’t recommend fat free sour cream as they add fillers to give it a creamy texture.

Peach Crisp
I just love peaches. Besides being a fabulous tasting fruit, peaches are also very healthy for you. Loaded with anti-oxidants, Vitamin C and A , peaches are low in calories (39 in 100 grams). They contain flavonoid poly phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zea-xanthin and ß-cryptoxanthin, which help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals. See my post, Peaches A Great Addition For A Healthy Diet, for more information. Read More

I remember in my 20’s living in Nashville and driving like a mad woman to Shoney’s late one night because I had to have a piece of pie.

Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa
It’s grilling time with marinated cilantro lime chicken. To jazz it up, I’m using Avocado Salsa as a topper. Yum! Creamy avocado, onions, and chili pepper make a great summertime salsa. Use as a topper for grilled fish or chicken, or just dip tortilla chips in it. The longer the chicken can marinate, the better it is.
