Healthy Homemade Sloppy Joes

I came across the following pin the other day while looking on Pinterest.

Um, YU-UM!  I looked in the fridge to see what I had on hand and looked over the recipe to see what types of substitutions I could make, and how I could incorporate more veggies.  I ended up with a really great sloppy joe recipe that is really good for you!
