Stuffed Peppers

After I made the Enchiladas I had some leftover filling components that needed to be used up so I decided to make Enchilada Stuffed Peppers and they were ALSO a hit in our house with my toddler and my husband! 

Many people think "clean eating" is hard, takes too much time, and that no one else will eat it. I know, I felt the EXACT same way when I started. I was making two different meals every. single. day and let's be real that will make anyone give up. When I learned my portion control and all the DELICIOUS FOODS that were apart of it I soon realized I didn't have to make two separate meals. I could simply cook accordingly and be sure I portioned my stuff out. 
We tend to over complicate things so that is why I am sharing some delicious, fast and FAMILY-FRIENDLY "clean eating, healthy and portion fix approved" meals for you!
