Tacos are one of the world’s greatest inventions, so imagine you had a healthy Taco Tuesday recipe that allowed you to partake guilt free! On my journey to become healthier and fitter (check out the recipes from my kitchen and workouts from my living room), creating healthy alternatives for my old favourites was one of the keys to my success. I couldn’t live without donuts, cookies (and more cookies), or pizza and I don’t have to!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Buster the boxer is a regular in my feed. He always launches my new recipes, but this time we couldn’t risk it. We recently learned that Buster is highly allergic to beef and while he isn’t a food thief, we didn’t want to take the chance that he would take a bite. So, to support the healthy Taco Tuesday recipe, here is Buster with some vegetables from our garden for your view pleasure:
