I got this recipe off pinterest. There were two recipes I looked at. I tweaked them to be a little more fit friendly. Turned out to be a hit at our house. EVERYONE ATE them (2 adults and 3 kids) SCORE!!

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients:
1 block of cream cheese (light works fine in this recipe)
2 Tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups shredded cooked chicken

2 chopped bell peppers

½ chopped yellow onion

1 TBS Coconut oil
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
About 16 (6 inch) La Tortillas or Ezekiel tortillas
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray

Directions:

Sauté chopped onions and bell pepers in coconut oil. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir. Add lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and mozzarella cheese and combine well.
Place 2-3 Tablespoons of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges and roll it up as tight as you can. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
Lay all of the filled taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle some salt on top.
Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

Lean Grass Fed Beef Parmesan Meatloaf

Dinner time at our house can be hard at times and with three picky kids I do not have time to play chef and make them all their individual dinners. I try to be creative and make fun, fit, and frugal. I love pinterest. They have so many awesome recipes that you can choose from. I usually like to tweak mine, especially if I don't want to run to the store. This was a huge hit in our house, it will be made again!!

Here's the recipe from pinterest

Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf 

original Joelen recipe

1 lb ground chicken (ground turkey can be substituted)

1 egg

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 

1-2 cloves garlic,

 finely minced 1 small onion, grated 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup pasta sauce (homemade or store bought) 

1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend 

minced parsley for garnish

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray, set aside. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. To not over handle the mixture otherwise it will get tough. Place the mixture in the greased loaf pan and form into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with pasta sauce.
