REAL HOMEMADE NACHOS

Who doesn't love nachos??
Everyone loves nachos right?

Who loves all the fat, calories, and processed ingredients?
Not many right?

Nachos or my take on nachos.....chilaquiles (basically simmered nachos finished off in the oven) is the most worthwhile and rewarding indulgences that I can think of!

The way I Keep It Real  is to: make my own tortilla chips, roast my own tomatoes and jalapenos, make my own guacamole from scratch using the above 2 ingredients, layer with organic beans, any kind of lean sustainable meat I can find, and local or organic cheese. 
Caramelized onions aren't traditional but I am obsessed with them and put them in everything.  I am literally making a new batch every other day 🤭

This dish is so easy, quick, nutrient dense, a fraction of the fat and calories of traditional nachos, extremely affordable (Who wouldn't feel good about that?), and is one of the Garcia's favorite dishes!!  No matter how big of a batch I make, there is never any left at the end of the meal 🍴🍴

In another post, I can share my secrets on where I shop and how nutritiously frugal I can be.  Stay tuned 🛒

A Fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow cream ( fluff ) sandwich 🥜🍞 If you've never had one.....you should.....just to try, they're delicious but filling and full of sugar thanks to the highly processed marshmallow creme.  At Garcia Bread Co ., we don't have a Fluffernutter flavor so we're going to celebrate with our new addition to our family:  Banana Peanut Butter Chip   🍌🥜available in loaf, muffin, or baked donut form 🙌👏: A unique combination of fresh bananas and sweet and salty creamy peanut butter chips all throughout the batter. This is so decadent it feels like a treat or dessert but is so nutritious it can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast any day of the week.  And, remember.....all of our products have no added sugar (sweetened with applesauce and honey ) and no added saturated fats (a small amount of sunflower oil which is rich in vitamins ....especially E , and antioxidants to stay moist and flavor...

I MADE IT!

I did it!! 20 Day Challenge is successfully completed!!! Here is what I learned from this experience: You can do ANYTHING for 20 days! Eating real, whole foods all the time keeps you satisfied with more energy and feeling better about yourself. It forced me to eat better and be creative in getting the best nutrition into my body it gave me new, healthy recipes that I didn't know existed I will do this again....maybe a few times a year I am proud of myself 👏 While I am excited I completed the challenge, I will need to be careful in introducing certain foods back into my diet; sugars, etc.... I know I am going to limit my fried and processed foods if at all.......no real benefits to them.....with that said.....Where are the jelly beans????  If you know me, you know I love my Easter candy.....in moderation people....in moderation 🙌                                     ...
