Paleo Stuffed Chicken
This is seriously one of the easiest recipes I have made and basically came out of necessity because the Fatkid and I are flat out sick of chicken. I made mine Paleo and his traditional so I’ll post both options. Ingredients: 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Sautéed veggies of your choice Almond meal or traditional bread crumbs (bread crumbs are not Paleo but almond meal is) Laughing cow skinny Swiss wedges (optional - not technically Paleo) No salt seasoning – any brand Directions: It is super important to flatten the chicken because you will be rolling it. You can either pound the chicken – which I hate doing. So instead I cut the chicken...

Ingredients: 2-3 chicken breasts cubed 1 onion chopped 1 pepper chopped 1 container of rice (I used Spanish) 1 container of low sodium black beans Low sodium chicken broth Directions: Cook the rice according to package – I used 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken broth for the liquid In a large skillet sautéed onions and peppers until almost cooked Add in enough chicken brother to cover the bottom of the pan and cook chicken on a simmer covered Add seasonings of choice – I used pepper, red pepper flakes and taco seasoning (prior to covering) When chicken is cooked, add cooked rice and black beans to...
Read MoreWhat I Ate Wednesday with Sweet and Sour Chicken
So my eats have been all over the place lately, mostly because I am getting back into a regular routine after finishing finals. That’s right, I AM DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL FINALS!! I don’t have any finals for my classes next semester and I am so excited that my next test I take will be the Bar exam. Now I am just going to work and get ready for all the fun wedding events coming up I got my dress on Monday and I am going to have my first fitting next month. And the bridal shower is in exactly one month so I am going to up my cardio and yoga and really clean up my food. I had quite a few indulgences during finals. That being said, here are some of my eats...
Read MoreWedding Updates and BBQ Chicken
Warning! This is not a ‘clean’ recipe but the Fatkid is obsessed with it so I thought I would share it with you guys in case not everyone in your family eats clean all the time. Put 3-4 chicken breasts in the slow cooker – I use frozen boneless, skinless. Cut up one onion and put in as well. Mix together: 1/2 cup zesty italian dressing 1/2 cup – 1 cup barbecue sauce 1-2 tbsp brown sugar Pour over the chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until chicken shreds apart easy. Done! It even tastes good cold for lunch the next day. Now for the updates I am cracking down to study for finals but first I was able to celebrate one of my bridesmaids...
Read MoreClean Chicken and Spinach Lasagna
So this recipe has been waiting to be shared for literally months. It was incredibly easy and the Fatkid loved it. He is Italian though so anything with pasta and red sauce it an easy win with him. Ingredients: 1 large bag of fresh spinach 3-4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced in thin strips) 9-12 whole wheat lasagna noodles 1 container of ricotta cheese – you can do a lot of different things for this, use a smaller container, use low-fat, non-fat, etc. or even use a different cheese. 24oz. of pasta sauce (you can use your own favorite or try my homemade pasta sauce - just double the recipe) Directions: Place 1/3 the noodles on the...
Read MoreLeg Workout and Paleo Almond Butter Banana Muffins
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend I know we did! Saturday I did legs and while it might not seem like a lot – it kills! Then we went for a hike on Camelback mountain (we always do Echo Canyon which is the ‘harder’ side) the weather was soooo nice – I am thrilled it is finally below 100! AND spent sometime outside with the bugs Yesterday during football I wanted to try to make some paleo protein muffins and I have to say I think these were a success. BUT BE WARNED: I do not like sweeteners so if you usually cook with some form of sweetener (or vanilla extract) I would add it because you might find this to be not sweet enough for...
Read Morebalsamic chicken and grilled artichoke
So this is kind of two recipes in one. I got this idea from Natalie Hodson and her rosemary chicken recipe. But I did tweak it a little based on what I had in the house and what we like. Recipe #1 Grilled Artichoke This is insanely easy and so good. I have loved artichoke since I was a kid and my mom always used to make it, but this was my first time cooking it. This is post boil – pre grill. 1. Fill a large pan with a few inches of water and juice from 1 lemon. 2. Put whole artichokes in and bring to a boil. 3. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Pre-heat grill to medium. 4. Take the artichokes out and let them cool. Then cut them in half length wise and scoop out...
Read Moredijon lemon chicken
I am a mustard fanatic so I’m surprised I haven’t thought of this before. This is a super easy chicken recipe that I threw in the slow cooker two nights ago because I was still feeling sick and did not want to spend more time than necessary any time cooking. I would use 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp of dijon mustard per chicken breast. I used 2 tbsp for 3 breasts and wish I used a little more. Whisk the mustard with just enough lemon juice that you will be able to pour it. Put the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, pepper them and then pour dijon/lemon mix over them and cook overnight. I ended it shredding it after the pic just because it’s easier to pack. Do...

Read Moreclean chicken enchiladas (LiveFit 16)
I’m not sure if you all know that I am half mexican but I am and I loooooove mexican food. My favorites are probably enchiladas, tacos and tostadas. I worked at a really popular mexican restaurant and bar for 4 1/2 years and to date their food is still my favorite. The red sauce for their enchiladas is my favorite. Ever. The thing about enchiladas is that I actually only ever order them with just cheese on the inside – never a meat, like chicken or beef – so I have never thought about trying to make them healthy because of all the cheese. But when Joseph C. Donnely posted this recipe on his fitness page I was inspired. They looked sooo good and not...
