Healthy even tastes better!

I read a quote somewhere that "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Well, I think in most cases that would be true, but not tonight. We had such an awesome dinner. I made chicken fajitas. For those that have been keeping up on my blog, you may have noticed our goal of losing weight, eating and thinking healthier, etc. Well, I am happy to report that we are doing very well! We've cut out all blatant sugars, traded white bread, pasta, rice, etc. for brown rice and whole grain, 100% wheat products. We have also been doing very good on drinking lots of water. No soda - not even diet! Here's basically what our fajitas consisted of:


Boneless, skinless chicken tenderloin - grilled in a little EVOO with spices and seasonings


Green, red, and yellow bell pepper


Red onion


Cherry tomatoes


Roma tomatoes


100% Whole wheat tortilla


NO Cheese (that's a hard one for us to control, so I just skipped it tonight)


Light sour cream - just a little


Home-made salsa - I may have outdone myself. It was sooooooooo good!





I am all about home-cooked meals and family eating together, so that has not changed. I am all about flavor and color - that has become better! At first, I think our taste buds were numb from all of the salts, sugars and additives. Now that it's worn off, I feel like there is a whole new world of flavors out there for us to experience. Oh yeah, we love food - but we also want to take care of ourselves. What are you doing or can you do to be healthier with/for your loved ones?
