Fajita Bowls

These rice bowls are easy and so good. I got the recipe from here.

1 Lb. steak, sliced (You can also use Chicken)
1 pkg. fajita seasoning
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 pkg. Spanish rice
1 can beans, drained and rinsed (pinto or black)
Flour tortilla shells
avocado (optional)
shredded cheese (optional)

Prepare steak or chicken as directed on fajita seasoning packet. Add onion and peppers. Prepare Spanish rice according to package directions. Add beans and stir together with rice until hot. Prepare bowls by placing a tortilla inside of the bowl. (I made the tortilla bowls using my new tortilla bowls) Add rice/bean mixture to bowl. Add steak and peppers/onions. Top with sliced avocado and/or cheese.

--2-4 ears of fresh corn

The Directions.

Put meat in the bottom of the crockpot. Rub with seasoning and onion, and flip over to get the other side. Add liquid and Worcestershire sauce. Wrap corn and potatoes in tin foil and place on top of the meat. Cook on high for 5-7 hours or on low low for 8 hours in your crock pot.

Rocco Dispirto's Chicken Fried Steak with Sausage Gravy

1 cup whole wheat lour
2 cups whole wheat breadcrumbs
3 large egg whites
4 (3 oz) portions lean filet mignon, pounded thin ( I used thin round steaks)
nonstick cooking spray
salt and pepper to taste
6 oz turkey sausage
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup nonfat greek yogurt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Put the flour in a shallow dish, breadcrumbs in another, and the egg whites in another. Dip the steaks in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs. Place the steaks on a greased cookie sheet. Spray steaks with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Roast until they are golden brown, and crispy, 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Add the sausage and cook til done.

While sausage is cooking, whisk the chicken broth into the cornstarch in small bowl.

Add the cornstarch mixture to the sausage and bring it to a simmer. When the gravy has thickened slightly (about 2 minutes) remove from heat.

Stir the yogurt into the gravy. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Pour he hot gravy over the steaks and serve immediately.
