Sort of…

I completely forgot it was Wednesday until 5pm today ! I’ve been so out of the loop lately, work has been extremely busy ! I can’t wait at the end of march when things settled down. So please excuse the lack of pictures – I shall describe my meals very thoroughly instead, deal ? Deal !

Breakfast – This will sound like a terrible breakfast, but it was good I promise. I cooked some eggs with some corn of the cobb. I know weird, but I was in a bit of a time crunch and that is all I could think of.

Snack – These crackers ! I bought them at Costco this weekend and we devoured them.

Lunch – Bean salad with some avocado, lime and cilantro ! I actually used this recipe. Angela did not fail me again ! For a quick and simple recipe, it was pretty filling. I wasn’t even hungry for an afternoon snack.

Supper – I made more of Angela’s recipes!

With some simple ingredients I made some delicious Pico de Gallo.

I then proceeded to make another one of her recipes -  Roasted Butternut Squash with Kale and Almond, Pecan Parmesan. I didn’t have any pecan or almonds so I used some toasted sesame seeds with some nutritional yeast. It did the trick !

Cooked some Butternut squash with EVOO, garlic, S&P –

Mix it with Kale and the “Parmesan” and tadaaaa!

I had to have a bit of protein, so I cooked up some Lemon Garlic Shrimps.

I also tried to juice ginger without a juicer. Never doing that again. After 45 minutes this is all the juice I got. I really need to invest in a good juicer!

It has been a longgg day, I’m now going to enjoy tea while reading some Malcolm Gladwell.

Good night guys <3

Do you juice a lot ?

Do you prep your breakfast the day before ?

On another note – look what I got in the mail today !! Ahh I’m so excited, I can’t wait to try out Gina’s Amazeballz & so much more ! I’ve been out of protein powder for a while now and it’s driving me crazy. Any recommendation on gluten free & vegan protein powders other than Perfect Fit and SunWarrior ?

Easy Guacamole & Salsa

Jan 10, 2013 by

This recipe could not be easier. If you have last minute guest showing up at your house and you need to entertain quickly – This is the perfect recipe for you. Or, you can even enjoy this as an afternoon snack. I’ve made many Guacamoles before but this if by far my favorite !

IMG_0149

 

Plus, I have to be honest, I stole this recipe from my sister in law ! She had us over last month and made this delicious snack and just fell in love ! I’ve make it three times since. I’ve also made a salsa version because Nate refuses to eat avocados. Being a good wifey, I must adapt my recipes :P

You can always change the recipe as usual. It’s pretty easy recipe to work with.

WIAW #6

Jan 9, 2013 by

After my little Costco trip this weekend, I had plans to make numerous healthy meals this week ! So far I succeeded ! Today’s meals were –

Breakfast – Cashews

I know what you’re going to say who eat cashews for breakfast ?! Unfortunatetely, this girls does. Breakfast has been a little bit unusual these past months. I get so nauseated in the morning if I eat. That’s never happened to me before, but I think it’s a combination of breakfast + vitamins that don’t work in the mornings. So I’ll try to find meal that can help me with that nausea ! I’m thinking omelets maybe ? We shall see.

Lunch – Sweet Stir Fry

IMG_0181

This picture does not do this meal justice! It was so delicious !! This marvelous stir fry consisted of pineapples, spinach, onions, peppers and ground turkey !

Diner – Salmon Salad

IMG_0177

I mixed some salmon with asparagus, tomatoes, green onions, garlic, olive oil, tamari on a bed on mixed greens! It’s quick, easy, and healthy ! Couldn’t ask for a better meal! I was in a rush tonight to get supper ready because I was babysitting my little nephew for a couple of hours. He’s just the cutest thing.

Well I’m off to relax with a cup a tea and go to bed ! Hope you all had a great day <3

Do you eat the same meals over and over every week ?

Do you make a meal plan ?

Quick Three Bean Salad

Jan 3, 2013 by

Good morning :)

I have a great recipe for you guys ! This past month, I’ve been watching a lot of The Next Iron Chef and after every episode, I just felt like cooking and bringing out my inner Iron chef. So I did end up creating a couple of new recipes.

This Bean Salad is a quick, easy meal and filling meal ! There’s nothing I hate more than when you eat a meal and don’t feel full afterwards. Are you with me ?

Quick Three Bean Salad

image

Ingredients

- 1 can mixed beans

- 1 ½ cup of broccoli

- 1 ½ cup of cauliflower

- 3 celery sticks

- ½ of an onion

Dressing

- ¼ cup of cilantro

- 3 -4 tbsp. olive oil

- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar

- ¼ tsp. salt

- ½ tsp. salt

- ½ tsp. cumin

- ½ tsp. garlic powder

- ½ tsp. onion powder

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients in to a bowl

2. Blend the dressing in a separate bowl

3. Drop the dressing into the salad

4. Enjoy

Note: You can definitely change the ingredients and portion of this salad and make it your own. Throw fresh veggies you have at home, you can also change the beans for lentils if you prefer. The dressing can also be changed, those are approximate measurements. I kind of just experienced with the ingredients and didn’t really calculate the right measurements.

Would you rather create your own recipes or follow someone else’s recipes?

Do you watch the food network religious like I do ?
