Carnitas Tacos!
Ingredients:
Refried Kidney Beans
Slow Cooker Carnitas
Shredded Mozzarella
Green Salsa
Corn Tortillas
For the Carnitas:
1. Get a pork shoulder. cover it in cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Put it in the crock pot and pour broth or water in the crock pot until it comes up about an inch.
3. Cook 6-8 hours.
4. When done, remove & shred meat.
5. Sautee meat in a pan until it starts to brown and crisp a little bit on edges. Add juice periodically to keep moist.
DONE
For refried kidney beans:
1. Drain 1 can kidney beans. Pour beans into pot and turn onto medium heat.
2. Pour in desired seasonings (I used Mrs. Dash original, chipotle tabasco, cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne) and mix well.
3. As the beans cook, mash them with a fork and mix around. Do this continuously until they are thoroughly warmed and mashed to your desired consistency. I like to let them brown a teeny bit.
DONE
EAT ALL THAT TOGETHER AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!

Some clean eats for dinner!
Homemade Chicken Nuggets & Green Beans
Chicken breading mix:
Bread crumbs (I made my own from some whole grain bread that I needed to use up)
Eggs, beaten
Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb (sodium free)
tiny dash of salt
Dip chicken in eggs, then in breading mixture. then put in an oven and bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes. flip halfway through baking.
A much healthier alternative to frying up some breaded chicken strips.

Broccoli-Spinach Fritters with Flax!
I saw the Broccoli Fritters that Chelsea Alysse posted and I was inspired, so I created these babies!
Adapted recipe:
1 head broccoli, steamed
2 handfuls spinach
1 egg
Mrs. Dash original seasoning (sodium free)
Coconut Oil
Directions:
1. Take the steamed broccoli and fresh spinach and pulse in a blender or food processor until finely chopped.
2. Mix broccoli/spinach in a bowl with egg and Mrs. Dash.
3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil in a skillet. Once heated, drop mixture in by large spoonfuls.
4. While first side is cooking, sprinkle flax seeds on top.
5. Flip once it’s cooked enough to do so. Cook until crispy!
I of course topped mine with green tabasco sauce :) I just can’t help myself!
