Sloppy Joe made Clean

Love me some sloopy joes but unfortunately the kind you make from a can is loaded with some not so good stuff and most recipes that I found were well just about the same. Then I came across this Sloppy Joe recipe and I did have to clean it up a bit but the result was well worth it. My family loved it!

Next time I make it I will be sure to take a picture, but this time I forgot.

Ingredients...
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions...
1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, cook until browned and break up meat with a spoon ~ 3-5 minutes.
2. Add onion and garlic to turkey and cook until onion is translucent.
3. Mix the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire into the turkey mixture; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Serve either on whole wheat rolls, buns, or flatbread.

We had this for dinner tonight and I paired it with roasted root medley and zucchini sticks.

If you try this recipe I would love to know your thoughts. Also if you have any kid friendly recipes to share please do so. I am always looking for my kiddos!!

If you haven't guessed by now, it is very important to me what I put into my body and my family's bodies. I do majority of the cooking around here. Yes, not everyone was excited when I said I was making changes to the way we eat but I slowly incorporated the Clean Eating lifestyle. Yes, the lifestyle - this is not some fad diet program that is here and gone tomorrow. Clean eating is a term used for the way people use to eat a long time ago. My body feels amazing now that I have adopted this lifestyle. My husband has lost weight without working out. Now do you believe me that eating the right foods are so very important for you especially if you are wanting to lose weight?

VANILLA SHAKEOLOGY IS HERE!!!!

YES, you read that right, Vanilla Shakeology is HERE!!

You may have remembered me telling you in a conversation or two that it is highly unlikely for Beachbody to formulate a Vanilla flavor Shakeology. Well after three years of working to find a PURE and ORGANICALLY grown source, they DID IT.

VANILLA SHAKEOLOGY is HERE

The creators of Shakeology had to go all the way to Madagascar to find a source that was 100% all Natural. Yes other products on the market claim they are 100% Natural Vanilla but if you do your research you will see in fact they are NOT. Scary huh!!! I know my eyes were opened when I started looking into this statement further. So what does this mean regarding Vanilla Shakeology? It means that Vanilla Shakeology is the ONLY NATURAL Vanilla shake on the market. No additives and no artificial ingredients.

The old saying you get what you pay for is 100% correct when it comes to Vanilla Shakeology - You are getting the premium product!! The creators of Shakeology have proved again they care about what we put into our bodies and so should WE!! Only the best ingredients are in Shakeology. To get the best ingredients, you have to find them and that is why the Shakeology team has traveled all over the world searching for those ingredients to provide your daily dose of dense nutrition!! Betcha you aren't getting that from your lunch today!!

Let me ask you this, do you know what's in the processed food you buy? Probably not besides a lot of words you can't pronounce. Unfortunately we have created a culture of accepting poor nutrient starving food. We can do better than that and we all have the choice of what we put into our bodies.

Don't cut corners when it comes to your HEALTH!!
