SUNDAY, WHAT ARE YOU EATING? EXERCISING?

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  I made a really good mexican dish that I wanted to share with you.  It calls for Italian Sasauge but since I don't do well with pork I just used all hamburger in mine.  It seems like the meat that I best tolerate is gound lean hamburger and even then I can only eat a very small portion.  I hope you all enjoy this my mom made it last week and everyone there loved it.  I like to put salsa and a little sour cream on top of mine before eating it.  A litte refried beans on the side is a good side dish.
