Taco Night!!!

My family loves taco night.  I mean really what family doesn't right??  It's the go to meal for a lot of families.  What I don't like is processed foods and all the all the added crap you find in the seasoning packets, salsa and guacamole on the shelves.  So I choose to make my own.  Below is my recipes for both salsa and guacamole, as well as my recipe for home made taco seasoning mix. You can make up a big batch of seasoning mix at a time and then use about 3 tablespoons for every one pound of meat that you are using. Of course this is great with ground sirloin, but try ground turkey breast and ground chicken breast for an even leaner alternative and the kids may not even know the difference.......

If you have taco night in your house as frequently as we do, then you may even want to think about tripling this seasoning recipe so you always have it on hand.  And this will all taste so good you can say good bye to taco seasoning packets for GOOD!

May's Cardio Abs Challenge

April showers bring May.......Cardio Abs???? Whatever Debbie ;-)  I couldn't think of anything clever to say so I just went with that.

May's challenge over at Fit and Healthy with Debbie Reichert brings us another month with the focus on abs, and I decided to throw in some cardio bursts as well for the ultimate fat blasting experience.  I think you will really like this one and it may be just what you need to get that fire burning in your core and get you on your way for bathing suit season. Make sure and go through the circuit three times through every day, preferably with little rest time between circuits.

Enjoy and feel free to pin and share on Facebook.  The more people we can get on the challenge, the better.  Strength in numbers!

The Fit and Healthy Crew needs a shirt!

For awhile now I have been wanting to get some t-shirts and tank tops printed up for my friends, clients, and facebook fans over at Fit and Healthy with Debbie Reichert. It's honestly fallen along the wayside due to life's usual craziness.  You know....the same life that we all lead.  Too much to do and not enough time, right?!?  But I recently decided I had to make this a priority I mean, who WOULDN'T want to wear me on their chest?? (That didn't come out right......) Moving along.......
