Cha Cha Bowl (Recipe for Mexican Chicken and Black Bean Rice Bowl)
One of my kids loves Chipotle Grill’s Burritos. This is a gigantic size tortilla filled with rice, beans, meat, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Although the ingredients in and of themselves don’t sound too unhealthy, one of these burritos with all the fixings (sour cream, cheese, guacamole) tops 1000 calories! However, deconstructed and served as…

Chocolate Marbled Cupcake Recipe {Gluten and Dairy-Free}
