Small Portions

Now that I'm (trying) to go back to getting my groove back a.k.a. post preggy bod (yes, my target is 120 lbs), I'm trying to get into this so called small portions only for every meal.. and since weekend is the only time I get to be the Boss in my kitchen, today, I made our favorite ( I + hubby) taco salad and garlic baby potatoes and mushrooms... It was a big hit in our dining table :)

For the Taco Salad:

Bag of Mexican Yellow Corn Chips
Shredded Cabbage
Diced Ripe Tomatoes
Diced Onions
Grated Cheddar Cheese

For the Meat:
Saute the chopped onion is 2 tablespoon of olive oil. add 1/2 Kilo Ground Lean Beef and cook for 5 minutes, add 1/4 cup of red wine and let it simmer until the beef absorbs the wine. add 2 table spoon of tomato paste. add salt and pepper to taste. mix then add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Mix and serve hot.

Lay corn chips on plate, topped with meat and veggies and finish with grated cheese.  Ole!

For Garlic Baby Potatoes and Mushroom

Clean and boil Baby Potatoes in water with iodized salt.

Saute 1 clove chopped garlic in 2 tablespoon Olive Oil (do not burn it!) remove from the pan once its golden brown. Using the same pan, saute mushroom (canned or fresh) and add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt with parsley (i used Lawry's). add the boiled Baby Potatoes and drizzle with 1/4 cup butter. dash with Thyme before serving.

My mother-in-law gave me this Lawry's garlic salt,
McCormick has the same seasoning available in our local supermarkets

Bon Appetit!
