Better Dinner Choices

After a long day, a lot of people come home and eat their emotions away. I used to spend all day thinking about what I am going to make for dinner and it was never healthy. Pasta was a number one choice for me and it was never whole wheat. Dinner is one of the most important meals. After you go to sleep, your body is not burning as many calories. You want to make sure what you're eating is healthy and high in protein. There are ways to make comfort food healthy. Here are a couple meals that I make often.

Taco Salad/Wraps

4oz Turkey Meat (Seasoning added)

Romaine Lettuce

1/4 cup Black Beans

1/2 Red, Green, or Yellow Pepper Sliced

Add turkey meat, beans, peppers, onions, sour cream and salsa to lettuce

Enjoy!
