Healthy one-pot pasta dinner

food, healthy, recipe, recipes January 13, 2016




Since Christmas my husband and I have been on a health streak. We have been eating healthy and as of today, we have started going to the gym. That is a story for another time. But with this new adventure in the life of “let’s stay home all day and do nothing, eat like were animals and who cares”. I have to say that I’m extremely proud of The Husband and I. We have done well and we plan on keeping it that way. Though we have made many changes to our life,  we’ve made most of them in the kitchen, finding new ways to eat healthy.







The idea of eating healthy is much easier said than done. But today I wanted to share with you how I turned our unhealthy spaghetti night into something more healthy and more importantly, the boys loved. We are a big fan of Ragu and already had some in the pantry. That’s when I decided to make a one-pot pasta dinner using the flavors of Ragu to spice it up and turn something boring into something extraordinary. 







Healthy one-pot pasta dinner!




Ingredients: 

  1. Half a white onion
  2. Bell Pepper
  3. 1 lb of ground turkey
  4. Veggie noodles
  5. Ragu

Directions: 
  1. First you will want to cook your turkey meat. Add a little of salt (garlic salt) and pepper. 
  2. Cut your onion and bell pepper. 
  3. Once your turkey is cooked, drain the leftover grease, then add your onion, bell pepper, and noodles to your pot. 
  4. Add your Ragu sauce, mix and stir. 
  5. Add 2/3 cup of water, bring the pot to a boil, mix, place on medium heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. 
  6. Stir occasionally. 
Once you have cooked your meal, time to sit down, and eat your healthy meal without feeling guilty and watching the smile on your childrens faces. The best part about this meal is that my middle child (the one allergic to everything) got to enjoy the same meal as us. Nothing better than seeing the smile on his face. The veggie noodles were an unexpected surprise as well.  My husband has already asked if we can eat this in the near future.

Living Life one day at a time

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15 Joshua 24:15

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Colossians 3:23-24 Colossians 3:23-24

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:26 Psalm 73:26
