Turkey Avocado Wrap with Quinoa

Have you ever made a dish and it surprised you on how good it was? Well that is exactly what happened to me today. I went to the grocery store, and I was trying to think what did I want to make for dinner. I was tired of eating chicken and I've gotten really bored of it. So I decided to pick up some ground turkey, and a couple of other dishes. I promise you, if you make this dish, you will NEVER look at ground turkey the same way again. This was so good and I will definitely be making this again. Ready to cook? Lets go!

Ingredients:

• 1lb ground turkey
• 3 large bell peppers. orange, yellow, and red.
• Cumin
• Garlic Powder
• Red Chilli Flakes
• Flat bread or any tortilla wrap will do
• Quinoa
• Avocado or Hummus

***Pro Tip: If you don't feel like actually making the spice mix for your turkey, you can pick up this spice mix by Old El Paso

. 

Use half of the package if you're trying to make this healthy as possible, this has a lot of sodium*****

Recipe Instructions:

1. Start by browning your ground turkey in a pan. Drain turkey meat and add 1tbsp of cumin, 1bsp of garlic powder, and add as many chilli flakes you think you can handle. If you're not making your own spice mix you add the Old El Paso and follow the directions on the back.

2. Place Quinoa in a separate pan and cook until fluffy. If you would like a detail recipe on how to cook quinoa comment below to let me know.

3. Cut your bell peppers up in medium slices. Add to the ground turkey and cook until soft. 

4. Your done!

See how easy that was? No excuses for you not to make this recipe.

Layer in Order:

-First Avocado or Hummus

FIN! Now feast!

Penne Pasta with Chicken and Asparagus

Hi guys! I know what you're thinking, where have you been?! Yes? No? Okay well I'm going to tell you anyway. I've basically been struggling with recipes to come up with. It is very hard for some reason to create recipes that are healthy, and good. So I've been perfecting my craft and I have to say, I think I've nailed it with this one. Also, buying food every week to cook so I can post on this blog is kind of expensive. I'm a full time college student with no job so I have to scrap and save whenever I can. That is why this recipe is so easy and CHEAP! I am the QUEEN of bargain shopping and I wanted to make this recipe for people out there like me, who are struggling to get by with barely any money.Have I caught your attention yet? Yes?!! Lets start cooking!

1.)You're going to start with bringing a pot of boiling water to a boil. Follow the directions on the box of your pasta. 

 

2.) While you are waiting for your water to boil, pop your asparagus in the microwave and follow the directions on the back of the packet. (I love these steamable asparagus, they're so convenient and very easy)

3.) Put your frozen chicken breast in the oven, also following the directions on the back of bag if you're using the already cooked chicken. If not, you can use thawed chicken breast, and season that with salt and pepper, put a tablespoon of oil in your skillet, and brown on both sides until they are fully cooked. Cut chicken into pieces so they can be easily added to the pot.

4.)Once your pot of water is boiling, add pasta. Cook until tender and drain. Add chicken and asparagus to your pot and teaspoon of olive oil. Stir until all are well combined.

5.) Add parmesan cheese, and pop your pot or skillet into your broiler until cheese is melted. I skipped this step because I was starving, but it was still delicious.
