Delicious...

I'll be the first to admit that I am not the healthiest person in the world. Im not big into working out and I am for SURE more into food that tastes good, than food that is good for me. But lately I have found that I NEED to be eating healthier, and I have been trying to find things to eat and make that are a little healthier but still taste wonderful. Is there such a thing? Yes, and its SOOOOO easy. I am the queen of easy, so I promise, it really is easy.


This is a little something I made today for lunch for Scott and I. This is called Taco soup. There are different veriations of the soup, but this is mine.

-1 large can of diced tomatoes
-1 large can of Black beans
-1 large can of Pinto beans
-1 small can of diced green chiles
-1 large can of green enchilada sauce
-1 small onion (chopped)
-1 dry ranch packet
-1 packet of taco seasoning
-1 cup of sweet corn
-1 pound ground beef pre-cooked (I went with the healthier lean turkey ground)


Cook the meat in a skillet with pepper until brown. Combine all cans and ingredients in crock pot. Cook for 30 minutes until onion is cooked....and that's it! Top with cheese and sour cream if you want.

Enjoy! I know I did.

Food obsessions as of lately...take 2.

Its time to play another round of "What crap are the Allens eating now?" Well I will tell you the things that have been addicting like kryptonite, and those things making apperances a lot lately in our home.

1. Candy Cane Hershey's kisses
Is it so wrong that I ate most of the bag between 2 and 5 pm today? I submit that it is not!



2. Rice-a-roni Fried Rice
knock off asian cuisine, rice-a-roni style. I dig it.



3. Southwestern Ranch Dip
This needs no explination. Try it yourself.



4. Cookies
Im not totally sure through which medium these things keep getting in our house, in every awray of types. I think some of it is my school, some of it our friends, some of it is our neighbors. Im not complaining. But my weight lose goal before Christmas has been devestated. We all make sacrifices for the greater good.
