Getting back to it...

So it has been forever since I've posted, and as an update on the home front, I am now mum to a wonderful little ball of energy named Joe who turns 2 in December! 
Blog wise, I have good news in the form of new recipes for you to try out! We've been trying to eat more healthy in my house, as the hubs wants to lose weight, and I have to keep mine under control now I am expecting number 2. With that, I bring you my new recipe - inspiration from Pinterest!

Clean Eating Tacos!
Serves 4

Ingredients

Baby cos, leaves whole but separated and washed
1 tub chunky avocado from Woolworths (if you're lazy) OR 2-3 ripe avocados, mashed
2 cloves of garlic (more if you want, it's all to taste)
1 lemon
salt
Pork mince
1 pack taco seasoning
2 cups frozen corn (you can use less or none, up to you)
1 carrot, grated
1 zucchini, grated
1 cup passata sauce
2 tomatoes
Low fat grated tasty cheese

Method
1. Heat up your frypan, and add a little bit of olive oil. Add your pork mince and cook until almost done. Add your taco seasoning, passata, and corn, and stir through for say 2 minutes. Add your carrot and zucchini, and turn the burner down low so it simmers while you prep the rest.
2. Get your avocado in a bowl, and crush your garlic into it. Add the juice from the lemon, and give it all a stir. Add salt to taste.
3. If you haven't already, prep your baby cos leaves and place on a serving plate. Dice your tomatoes and add to a separate bowl/plate.
4. Your meat and veg should be cooked through, but if not just wait until it is, making sure you give it a stir every now and then. When ready, put everything out on the table for everyone to serve themselves!

This recipe is much healthier than using taco shells, as you're using the lettuce leaves instead.
Bon appetite!
