Clean Eating Sloppy Joes

Wow I can't believe its already day 7 of 90 Days of Clean Eating!! I hope everyone is getting some great ideas, I know I sure am!!

This morning when I was planning my weekly meal plan I asked my husband for some dinner dishes that he would like to have this week. We used to make Sloppy Joes often but I KNOW they weren't very healthy or clean so this week I'm going to revamp the recipe and bring back an old favorite!! This week I'll be serving this with a spinach salad and steamed veggies.

Clean Eating Sloppy Joe’s
(Makes about 8 sloppy joe’s – depending on how “sloppy” you like them)

Ingredients
1 tbsp. olive oil
1-1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey meat
1 (15 oz.) can organic tomato sauce, no sugar added
1/2 cup clean ketchup (I use the OrganicVille brand)
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 medium green bell pepper
1 medium red bell pepper

Directions
Step 1 – Put your olive oil in a large pan, add the turkey meat and cook over medium heat.
Step 2 – Once the meat is cooked, add everything else. Stir until well blended and heated through.
Step 3 – Scoop however much you want onto a clean hamburger bun and “get sloppy with that Joe!”

P.S. – I will be using the Alvarado Street Bakery brand burger buns. Fantastic flavor, and clean!
Eat and Enjoy!

Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

 

I am totally in need of some new recipes! I'm very much a creature of habit and I've been pretty much sticking the the basics and the foods I already know and love. But I've decided that it's time I try something new the other night. I had some pork chops in the fridge so I googled "clean eating pork chop recipe" and this one came up! I had all the ingredients in the house so it was a GO!!!! I paired it with steamed veggies and a side salad. It was also a hit with the entire family!!!

So of course I have to share it with you too! ENJOY!!!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 c parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp basil leaves
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp dried orgeno
• 1 dash black pepper
• 1/4 tsp thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 lbs pork chops

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
• In a small bowl whisk together mustard, oil, and spices.
• Season the 4 pork chops with pepper, then brush both sides of the chops with the mustard mixture.
• Press the grated cheese into both sides of the chops.
