Married to a Carnivore? Me too…These will keep him comin’ back for more (hehe)
We recently bought a bunch of organic beef in bulk and I’m doing my darndest to be creative with it. I’m also trying to be better about using what I have in the house. Since my forte is making “something” out of “nothing” I opened my fridge & came up with this little puppy….after a … Continue reading
Recently I’ve been watching Pinterest for recipe ideas. I love “cleaning up” a recipe and seeing how close I can come to the original without blowing my macros. This was a take on a pin I found for turkey burgers and since I only had beef on hand, I adjusted! The original recipe calls for … Continue reading
I’ve been meaning to post this for the past two weeks – SORRY!!! During contest prep I like to invite friends over for dinner so I can control the food. Yes, that makes me controlling BUT it also makes life easier and more fun. Going out can be challenging and for some, risky so I … Continue reading
I’m on a pizza KICK. I’ll pretty much put any topping on some whole wheat crust and somehow it’s delish! My coach just cut my macros so I’ve been trying to find ways to eat less fat – boohoo. No more whole eggs three times a day…such a shame. Last night I was short on … Continue reading
Oddly enough I’ve been craving chicken. It’s been a while since I’ve made any so I decided I’d pull out an old standard that I’ve made a million times before. Normally (off season) I’d use all the parts of a chicken with the skin & bones intact but being 10 days out from my first … Continue reading
This has been a trying week. The hubby has been out of town and our sweet little buddy has had a terrible virus and running a wicked fever. He’s been incredibly needy & snuggly which I don’t mind but its kind of hard to make dinner while holding a 30lb toddler who absolutely won’t allow … Continue reading
My husband LOVES a really great burger. Since we rarely eat red meat I figured I’d splurge and cook a super duper yummy burger for dinner and surprise him with it! Ya, ya, ya, I know, “surprise my husband with a healthy meal”…I think he’d be more surprised by fried chicken. I digress. Since I … Continue reading
For the past few nights I’ve been pooped. The thought of making dinner sounds, well, daunting. In this case I start thinking, “Ok, What do I have that’s super fast and easy????”. I stand with the doors to my fridge and freezer open and see an “Amy’s frozen roasted veggie pizza”. AH-HA!!! I like to … Continue reading
I became a vegan a while ago because even though I don’t eat crap, I have super high cholesterol. I started pinning and googling vegan recipes and found one in particular that rocked my socks. I’ve made this recipe a number of times and tweaked it enough to call it MOSTLY my own…I am crediting … Continue reading
READY – SET – GO MAKE LUNCH! 1 tblspn low fat feta 1/3c garbanzo beans drained (you’re too busy to not buy canned…get BPA free & organic everything!) … Continue reading
