Over the last few years my weight has slowly been becoming an issue, a few weeks ago I decided it was time to make a change. It started out with a BeautyFit boot camp twice a week and became an amazing journey! One that I'd love you take with me. This blog will be my "tell-all" while I work with BeautyFit and World Gym to "Become the After Picture"... join me for the next 12 weeks through my ups and downs and in-betweens... Hang on! It's gonna be a hell of a ride!!
I've been getting a lot of requests for recipes so I though I'd post them here... I will add to this as new and exciting recipes come up... and if you have one I should try, please feel free to send it to me!
Stuffed Peppers
1 pound ground turkey or chicken cooked in olive oil
1 cup of quinoa cooked in Chicken or veg low sodium broth
6 large peppers hallowed out
enough salsa to make mixture about 1/3 quinoa, 1/3 meat and 1/3 salsa
mix it all together, scoop into peppers right to the very top, then bake in baking dish for 1 hour on 350
Salsa
Stewed tomatoes (there is a nice Italian seasoned one and a chilli seasoned one, I mix the two together)
fresh tomatoes
sweet onion
Red, yellow and orange peppers
garlic minced LOTS
green onion
whatever HOT peppers you like... I also add Mike's red hot sauce and dried chilli peppers to make it spicy... BUT NOT FOR ME LOL LOL My Husband likes the spice!
Put it all (except stewed tomatoes) in food processor (you will have to do it in batches) and pulse until desired chunkiness... mix it all together and serve. If you freeze, once thawed you will need to drain off water...
Chicken Chilli
2 cans of kidney beans drained
1 can tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce
garlic 8 cloves minced
onion chopped (1 whole one)
celery 4 or 5 stalks chopped
2 lbs ground chicken (I use one lb chicken, 1 lb turkey)
3 cups chicken broth low sodium
cook chicken in olive oil until browned, add garlic and onions and celery and cook until onions are clear add everything else... simmer until ready to serve and heated through... the longer it simmers the better it tastes!
Protein Pancakes
1/3 cup dry oats
2 egg whites
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (i used chocolate)
2 tbsp cottage cheese (1%)
a little water
blend all together and cook in fry pan like regular pancakes using olive oil... they will not be fluffy like regular pancakes they're more like crepes... but they taste crazy good!
Do you have any food intolerances?
