Hello Nacho with my name on it! Right? WHO does not love a nacho of some sort? This is a speedy whip it all together kind of meal. This meal is always best when it is the end of the week or you just have a lot of left overs in your fridge. Using left overs will cut your time in half. In this recipe I even added left over asparagus and green beans. Remember this is about keeping it simple.. so if you do not want to bake the sweet potatoes, cauliflower or other veggies.. simply buy pre-cooked sweet potato, quiona, veggie mix. Don’t want to use pans for the black beans, just use “Seeds Of Change” savory mexican style black beans with corn and peppers. MUST READ the modifications below on how to spice it up, substitutions and prep time saving tips.

These are full of protein and don’t have any extra sugar snuck into them. If you love peanut butter you will definitely love these!
Okay this is totally a no brainer! Like me I am sure you will say “why did I not think of that before”! You know how at the end of the week you start to notice that it is time to USE IT or LOSE …

Grab a band and try this great LOW IMPACT banded lower body.
You can use a band of any resistance that works best for you. My original band actually broke while I was doing this one but I was able to find a replacement. Remember to always engage your core when you do any exercise. Engage your core by pulling your stomach in toward your spine and keeping it firm during all the moves.
