Hungry Girl/Insanity Meal Plan

 I'm behind on my meal planning. The last couple weeks I had a plan sort of, but had a lot of other things going on so now its time to get back on track. This will be my last meal plan until Easter. I will be out of town, and will probably only have a half of a meal plan when I get back!

I have most meals planned but I'm just going to give you my dinner meals since Breakfast and Lunch always seem to vary. I am still doing insanity (sort of), and I enjoyed the meals but I really enjoy hungry girl even more so the majority of my dinners are her recipes.

Which comes to another thing I'm going to try to do. I have 2 of her cookbooks, and want to eventually make every single recipe out of them. Thats over 500 recipes just for those 2 books!! But she is what is going to help me lose weight this year because her food is delish, and I don't have to sacrifice taste/bland food for weight loss. Also I'm not on a DIET, I want to be able to eat healthy forever so this is a lifestyle change for me!

The cookbook this week for dinner is 300 under 300. And also a recipe from the Biggest Loser Simple Swap book. Recipes included.

Mon: BBQ chicken quesadilla w/caesar salad
Tues: Chicken pot pockets w/acorn squash & apples, & roasted root vegetables
Wed: grill - fish, potato salad, waldorf salad (omitting chicken), veggies & holy moly guacamole
Thurs: Shrimp stirfry w/brown rice
Fri: Homemade pizza w/side salad
Sat: Grill
Sun: Leftovers or Grill

Black Bean & Corn Quesadilla Recipe

I made these tonight, and just sort of winged it and they were amazing!!! 

These are healthy, and low in calories!

Ingredients:

• 6 Smart & Delicious Tortillas (these were the smaller 7" tortillas) 
• 3/4 cup corn 
• 1/3 cup rotel 
• 1-1/4 cups black beans
• 1/8 cup salsa (I use the great value stuff) 
• 1 tbsp lime juice (or fresh squeezed lemon if you have it)
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1/2 tsp onion powder (or use 1/4 fresh onion if you like onions. We don't so I just used the powder)
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese 3/4 cup cheese total (1/8 cup per tortilla)

Directions:

Mix everything together in a bowl EXCEPT the cheese and tortillas.

Heat up a pan with a little bit of olive oil. When pan is nice lay 1 tortilla on the pan, add 1 tbsp cheese on 1/2 the tortilla, then a few spoonfuls of the bean mixture, and then another 1 tbsp cheese on top of the bean mixture. Fold and let the tortilla get nice and brown (but don't burn it!) 

Flip carefully after a couple minutes and brown up the other side. 

The pan I used I could fit 2 tortillas at a time. To keep the finished quesadillas warm heat the oven to 170 degrees and put the finished ones on a cookie sheet and plop in the oven.

Super simple and super yummy!!

Save any leftover bean mixture for more quesadillas, or for salsa, or heat up and put on top of the quesadillas! We used all of ours!

Servings 3: (2 quesadillas each) 

350 calories (varies depending on cheese and tortillas used)

ENJOY!!
