What I Ate Wednesday and a Leg Workout!
First for What I Ate Wednesday…. I have been doing protein powder with almond milk and coffee pre workout pretty much every day. Post workout I do a quick shake with protein powder, almond milk, almond flour and 1/2 banana. My actual breakfast for the next few weeks will be egg whites, yams and avocado. Mid morning has been a protein pancake but that will have to go soon too Lunch is steak with yams, veggies and avocado. Afternoon has been tuna and veggies (no pic) and dinner will probably be fish or egg whites. I have been wanting to barf at the thought of chicken lately so it’s out for a while. AND – So excited when I was looking through old pics...
Read MorePaleo 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...
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 MorePeanut Butter Banana Protein Bars and WIAW
So this week has been good with eats. Super appropriate for a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) I made my clean turkey chili for lunches for me and then made some peanut butter banana protein bars for breakfast/snacks. They are a variation of my normal oatmeal bakes and were a little crumbly but completely delicious. This recipe was cut into 12 bars and I’ve been eating 1 or 1 and 1/2 for breakfast. Ingredients: 6 scoops vanilla protein powder (or chocolate) 3 ripe bananas 6 tbsp of peanut butter 2 cups old fashioned oats 1 cup almond milk lots of cinnamon (because I love it) Standard warning!! I do not like sweetener so I don’t bake with it. If you normally...
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 Moreclean shrimp ‘fried’ rice
So I feel like every time I write I am apologizing for being MIA and at the risk of sounding like a broken record…I’m sorry I’ve been neglecting the blog lately. Summer school started last week and I am splitting my time between two summer internships and I am trying to get the main vendors booked for the wedding (more on that tomorrow). But I did ask for a main ingredient suggestion and I got quite a few requests for shrimp. I love seafood but I don’t cook it often because it is so expensive to get it fresh in Arizona and I don’t really like frozen shrimp. I decided to bite the bullet for you guys and bought a package of frozen, raw,...
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 Morethe eat clean diet vegetarian seven citrus salad
If you don’t how completely obsessed and honored I am to be featuring three recipes from the new Eat Clean Diet Vegetarian Book, you can read my first into post here. This week’s recipe is perfect for Arizona right now because it is just starting to heat up and what better way to start your Easter Brunch than a Seven Citrus Salad? Now because I am in Arizona I had to make a little southwestern and also our local store didn’t have a few of the ingredients from the original recipe (straight out of the book) below: I realize that is kind of hard to see so you can download the original recipe here. My seven modified ingredients (based on availability and...
Read Moreno bake peanut butter bites
The Fatkid has be asking and asking for the peanut butter bites I made when I entered the contest from Smart Food and Fit and made her No Bake Peanut Butter Balls. Then the boys at the gym that he works with have been asking me for weeks to make them something so I decided to make those again and bring them in – everyone is happy. I modified her original recipe a bit and this is what I did for this batch: Ingredient: 1 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter) 1 cup old fashioned oats 1/3 cup ground flaxseed (or whole or chia or whatever seed you like) 1/2 cup apple sauce 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional) 1/4 cup dark cocoa chips (optional) ** You...
