Happy New New

OK it’s been a while since I wrote in here, just seems like there is not enough time in the day sometimes. So on that note HAPPY NEW YEAR! As of Jan 2nd Luke and I have been back on the detox part of The Fat Smash Diet and doing pretty well on it so far. I love cooking and in this diet you must cook. Plus exercise and since I got Just Dance 3 and The Michael Jackson Experience for the Wii for Christmas I have been dancing my way into a new me. Plus I have been doing the Wii More Active 6 week challenge.    
So to get back to the cooking here are 2 things I have made in the past few week that I really love.



The only difference I made is that I use Sweet Potato instead cousin the white potato.
Luke and I loved this soup so much I ended up making 2 batches last weekend. Nom Nom Nom


And last night my dad came over for dinner and I made Mexi-rice and bean Tacos, with Spicy Sweet Potato
Adapted from this recipe: Mexi-riceand bean burritos, with spicy sweet potato..  (scroll down till you find the recipe on the page) 


I made some changes instead of using flour tortillas I used the small corn ones.
I used one can of low sodium kidney beans, rinsed and drained.
I also mashed some of the beans with a masher
I used 4 tablespoons of no salt diced tomatoes from a can
And I used Mexican style brown rice from this recipe: Mexican rice
 (I use Brown rice and Veggie broth instead of the chicken broth)
