A simple way to create "balance to your meal plan"

Do you have a meal plan???...some of us have financial plans to help us make the money we want for our lives and lifestyle...some have educational plans to get smart and achieve success in life...but do you have a "meal plan" to keep your body strong and vibrant to have the strength and means to enjoy the financial and lifestyle successes we are all working so hard to achieve???

If you don't have a "meal plan" then lets get you a simple one:

  1. More fiber, vitamins, and minerals through fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods (AKA, foods with lots of color and substance).
  2. Have some protein through lean meats, dairy, nuts and beans...
  3. Minimize your fats, sodium/salt intake, processed foods, sugars and sweets
So to give you an idea of what a meal looks like that implements this plan, here's my idea:

"Simple Quesadilla with Sun-dried Tomatoes, Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese with Basil Threads":

2 quesadillas = 1 serving
Prep Time = 5 minutes
Cook Time = 5 to 7 minutes
  • 2 corn or flour "homestyle/handmade" tortilla
  • 4 oz of shredded "low-fat" mozzarella cheese (one handful)
  • 2 oz of grated parmesan cheese (one spoonful)
  • 6 oz of sun-dried tomatoes (julienne/sliced thin)
  • 4 oz basil leaves (sliced thin)(about 12 basil leaves)
  1. Preheat the oven to 400-degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place both tortillas on the baking sheet and layer 2/3 of the mozzarella cheese & the parmesan cheese evenly between the two tortillas. Evenly distribute the sun-dried tomatoes with both tortillas and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the tomatoes.
  3. Bake the tortillas for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the tortilla are slightly crispy.
  4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the basil over the tortilla. Allow the cheese to cool slightly and enjoy.
Be GREAT, One Meal at a Time!
