To curb my takeout habit, I’ve been trying to create things at home that are just as good (if not better) than what I grab when I’m on the go. My little mini and I always have dinner together so it is important that I’m conscious of what I eat when I’m with her. I told you last week about Zelda’s rice addiction, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that these Turkey Taco Bowls have delicious brown rice in the bottom of the bowl. Topped with an abundance of veggies, both cooked and uncooked, this recipe is perfect for lunch or dinner. What dinner recipes do you make at home? I’m always looking for ideas! Tell me in the comments below.
