Rice and Bean Tacos

Rice and Bean Tacos

Now that we are back on track, I am pulling out some of our favorite healthy meals.  This recipe was from the Ultimate Reset 21 day cleanse that we did.  When we did the cleanse we kept this meal vegan, but now we add a little cheese and sour cream.  It was a meal that even our kids loved.  The recipe originally called for black beans, but my family is divided, so we do a batch with black beans and a batch with pinto beans and we add corn.  I double the recipe for our family of 5 because we do both beans and then we have leftovers.

Ingredients

6-inch corn tortillas

1 can black or pinto beans (drained)

1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 dashes of chili powder

2 pinch of ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground coriander

2 tsp Braggs Liquid Aminos

Himalayan salt to taste

3/4 cup cooked brown rice

Optional

1/3 cup corn

pico de gallo

quacamole

tomatoes

Combine beans, oil, chili powder, cumin, coriander, Braggs and salt in medium sauce pan, mix well.  Heat mixture over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.   Remove from heat.  Gently fold rice into bean mixture.  Add corn, pico de gallo, tomatoes if desired.

Optional toppings can be quacamole, sour cream, taco sauce, cheese or olives.

Simple, healthy and family friendly dinner!!  Enjoy!

My Before and Afters from the Ultimate Reset

So excited about my results from the Ultimate Reset!!  I lost 13 lbs!!  I am so glad I took on this challenge.  I learned I was stronger than I thought and found some new things I like!!  I feel fantastic!  I was having some pretty bad back pain and it has been almost non existent since doing this Reset!  Clothes fit better and I feel AMAZING!!  I have gone back to eating some things like cheese, meat and eggs, but I still have some vegetarian days too.  I have been able to maintain what I lost and I am really enjoying getting back into working out and running!  I just started Insanity.  Not sure if I am going to follow the whole program day by day because I am enjoying my running!  But I am going to give it a good try!!
If you are nervous about trying this Cleanse because you are not a fan of veggies, please reconsider.  I am not a fan of veggies either and I was terrified to try this!!  I have learned to like some new ones and replaced the ones I wouldn't eat with ones I loved.  It wasn't as scary as I thought it might be ;-)  I feel great and learned so many things about my eating habits!  I was stuck in a plateau and I was able to break it with the Reset!

My husband was able to break his plateau too and lost 15.5 lbs!!!

Ultimate Reset Days 16 - 21

Oh man, life got so crazy I forgot to finish updating my posts from the Reset!  The week we finished was the kids last week of school and we were heading out of town.

We did great and finished the Reset.  I am not going to lie, the last week was tough as I was craving some cheese and eggs (strange things to crave).  We stayed tough and made it all the way through.  

Two of my FAVORITE meals from this 3rd week were the Curry Cauliflower and the Asian Stir-fry!  So delicious!!

Every morning was fruit so I had a Tropical Shakeology several days just to change things up!

The one thing I was most looking forward to was working out again.  My husband and I followed the program and didn't do much exercise, just walking.  I do kind of wish I had done more, but I wanted to follow what they said worked.

Ultimate Reset Day 15

Day 1 of Week 3!  Today was Memorial day and we spent the day at the pool.  I packed my salad and snacks to have while I was there.  Planning ahead is KEY on this program!

Fruit for breakfast

Micro green salad for lunch packed to go to the pool.

Carrots, red pepper and edamame hummus for a snack.

Came home for dinner.  Squash, green beans and quinoa.  So yummy!

So proud that I was able to make it through this holiday weekend and stay on track!  Very big for me!

Any questions, email me!

Ultimate Reset Day 14

2 weeks down!!  WOOT WOOT, can't believe it!  I never thought I would make it this far, honestly!  Finished the Detox....so glad!!  The Detox was very gentle, we had no episodes of running to the bathroom.

We both feel great!  My husband is down 12 lbs and I am down 10 lbs!  I have been trying to lose those 10 lbs for 2 years!  This finally helped me break my plateau and learn some better eating habits that will carry through after this Reset.

Today was a Tropical Shakeology for breakfast and microgreen salad for lunch.  Took the kids to the pool in the afternoon so I pack some carrots, red pepper and edamame hummus for a snack.  Dinner was garlic vegetables and squash.  It was supposed to be edamame and corn succotash, but as I was reading ahead for the next week because I was shopping today, I forgot to check todays dinner.  So bad on my part.  Oh well, it was still a dinner from the program, so we are good.

Ultimate Reset Days 12 & 13

We traveled to our cottage for 2 days.  We planned ahead and brought all the food we needed for our cleanse.  It was tough being up north and only being able to eat from this plan.  It was definitely a mind over matter couple of days, but we stuck it out and did great!

Fruit for breakfast both days.

Micro green salad for lunch.

Squash, broccoli and quinoa for dinner.  I could live on the squash and broccoli!!  I think we have it a few time next week too ;-)

This weekend was a big challenge for us and I am so proud that we made it through!!

Ultimate Reset Day 11

Breakfast on the run again, fruit.

Lunch, my favorite, microgreen salad.

Dinner we had on the road.  We headed up to our cottage and we usually get dinner on the way.  This time we made our Tropical Shakeology to drink on the way.

My biggest confession with this cleanse, I can not do the detox.  I tried twice and was unsuccessful.  I was so disappointed and was afraid I couldn't continue properly.  So I decided to buy some vegan capsules (double size) and made it into capsules.  I have to swallow like 12 of them, but at least I get it in.  I know it is not the ideal way to get the detox into my system, but it is better than not doing it at all.
