coffee protein latte
So I saw this idea on a forum board a few weeks ago and then two readers reminded me of it on our facebook and today was the perfect day to try it out. I am in law journal training all day and I was rushing to get out of the house this morning so I made a coffee, protein latte. 1 scoop protein powder 1 iced brew of Caribou on my Keurig (about 1/4-1/2 cup) 1/2 cup crushed ice splash of almond milk dash of cinnamon This turned out much frothier than usual making it just like a blended latte, as opposed to a “shake”. And my cooler for today: Apple with almonds Chicken, avocado, bell peppers, tomato 2 banana nut protein muffins Leftover steak,...

Read Morejelly legs
Today’s leg routine was curtesy of Fitness Model Vanessa Tib who posted what James Wilson (Jamie Eason’s friend and an admin on her page) sent her. You can find it here with my modifications in ( ), I did the quad one. I was dying during the wide/narrow squat super set. Then I did a short circuit from BodyRockTV: dead man burpees, dive bombers, prisoner get ups. 30 seconds of each with 10 second in between – 3x. Then I did some HIIT on the treadmill, incline of 2.0. I did 20 minutes walking (3.0) and a minute jogging (6.8/7.0) for 12 minutes and then 2.8 at an incline of 15 for 8 minutes. My legs were dying but in a good way. Now I am just waiting...
Read Morea week’s worth of food
I have written before about how I like to prep out food for the week on Sundays and that was definitely my day yesterday – mixed with lots of studying. I knew the Fatkid was getting home around 8 so I wanted to be mostly done with cooking by then. But that never happens and I wasn’t done until around 9:30 – hence the next day post. Sorry Before I get to food I had to share this picture of our bug Tyson – he is the cutest thing ever and John felt bad he stepped on him so he let him lick his Coldstone container. So – yesterday I made all of the following: Stuffed chicken with: spinach, onion, mushroom, 1/2 piece Laughing Cow Lite...
Read Moredinner for one
I am solo for dinner tonight the Fatkid went to see his new baby niece and I have to study for my summer school finals so I stayed home with Havoc and Tyson (he took Emma). Trying to make the best of being along, I made something I wanted to make for myself before I made for the Fatkid, for the sole reason that he is picky. Especially when it comes to fish. He can’t even smell it – which is why I basically only cook tilapia and usually it is hidden in something (stuffed peppers). I made a clean fried tilapia tonight and I think it will pass his test when he gets home. It took me 10 minutes from start to finish. Ingredients: 1 tilapia filet, 5oz (I buy...
Read Morean unusual breakfast
I cannot take credit for this new breakfast idea. I got it from Ashley at the edible perspective and had to try it. I cooked my quinoa with 1 cup water and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and then let it cool for a few minutes. Topped with greek yogurt, cinnamon and a fresh plum – yum!! I have to admit it is a lot like eating oatmeal, just thicker and with a nuttier flavor. I did enjoy it though. It’s also extremely filling, more so than oatmeal I think. The nutritional value is pretty impressive too! In contemporary times, this crop has become highly appreciated for its nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%–18%)....
Read Morebreakfast for dinner
Now that I am in summer school I don’t get home until 8:30 every night so I try to eat before class at 6. But, some nights I can’t or I’m still hungry for more than a shake when I get home. Tonight I only had a snack before class so I came home and made a scramble with one turkey meatloaf muffin, 3 egg whites and one egg. Because the muffins already have onions, garlic, etc. in them I only had to top with hot sauce and I was done! I tossed the “muffin” in the pan first to break it up and make sure it was warm and then poured the beaten egg mixture on top. I have mentioned before how much I love Arizona Gunslinger Hot Sauce, it is made...
Read Morecherries quinoa bake
I looooove fresh bing cherries and I have been waiting to get them because they have been incredibly expensive where we live. Luckily I found them at Costco on tuesday and I got some. I thought the perfect thing to put them in is my breakfast quinoa bakes I have been loving. I found the original recipe on Healthful Pursuit and just tweaked it a little. Today I did this: Ingredients: 1/8 cup whole grain uncooked quinoa 1 tbsp old fashioned oats 2 tbsp flaxseed (I was out of Chia seeds so I added an extra of this) 2 tbsp applesauce 1 scoop protein powder (of course) 1/4 cup almond milk cinnamon to taste Directions: First I cooked the quinoa according to the...
