Almond Butter Chicken Salad

This one is a little different, but I wanted to include it for a reason. We all know eating right is much easier when we meal prep. But we also know that life has a way of throwing us curve balls. Sometimes, we have to settle for the good choice, not the great one. ThisContinue reading “Almond Butter Chicken Salad”

Recipe: Philly Cheese Steak Skillet

This was a simple two-pan recipe that is pretty tasty. Ingredients 1.5 pounds thin sliced beef (we like milanesa for this recipe), peppers, garlic, green onion, onion, ground ginger, provolone, sriracha, worcestershire, ketchup and coconut aminos (soy if you don’t have coconut aminos). Directions I sliced the beef into strips and browned in one pan,Continue reading “Recipe: Philly Cheese Steak Skillet”

Recipe: Spaghetti Squash with Chicken Meatballs and homemade Tomato Sauce

This is a little bit of homemade and a little bit of convenience. The Chicken Meatballs are store bought. Spaghetti Squash is a great alternative to pasta. I prefer it to be roasted in the oven but you can utilize your instant pot and even the microwave to cook one. Oven Roasted Spaghetti Squash: 425Continue reading “Recipe: Spaghetti Squash with Chicken Meatballs and homemade Tomato Sauce”

Recipe: Egg Salad

So I haven’t had sports or much of anything busy on my schedule since March and then BOOM, all the sports. Not that I am complaining but it makes meal planning even more important. It makes quick recipes and utilizing kitchen gadgets even more important to use my time better. This is one of thoseContinue reading “Recipe: Egg Salad”

Recipe: Asian Cole Slaw

One of my favorite salads. I like to make a double batch and eat on it all week. This is a recipe out of Robb Wolf’s “Wired to Eat” book. I buy cole slaw mix for this instead of shredding cabbage by hands. Work smarter not harder. **Coconut Aminos are a soy sauce alternative. YouContinue reading “Recipe: Asian Cole Slaw”

Recipe: Pulled Pork, the easy way

I have a pellet smoker. I use it all the time. But, sometimes I still do pulled pork the easy way. For a while, that meant the crock pot. Now, the Instant Pot speeds it up even more. Start by putting the IP on saute and frying some bacon to put on the bottom. SliceContinue reading “Recipe: Pulled Pork, the easy way”

Recipe: Weez Chili

This is a different version than a typical chili, using more vegetables and no beans. Instead, I use diced zucchini and sliced black olives. A healthy veggie filler and a healthy fat. This is actually my go-to balanced primal meal. It is a play off of Matt Chan’s Zone chili. Cooked all in one pot.Continue reading “Recipe: Weez Chili”

Recipe: Breakfast Scramble

Let’s talk Breakfast. I have a lot of early mornings, so I like to have breakfast prepped so all I have to do is throw it in the microwave. I like to make these Breakfast Egg Scrambles. There is no recipe for these. It’s usually a Sunday veggie refrigerator clean out that gets thrown inContinue reading “Recipe: Breakfast Scramble”

Instant Pot Chicken

I know Instant Pots can be intimidating but hang in there with me. I use to buy the Rotisserie Chickens all the time at Walmart. But over the years I’ve noticed the quality of the meat decreased, a lot of dryness and at 8/9 bucks a pop I decided to try making my own. IngredientsContinue reading “Instant Pot Chicken”

Recipe: Creamy Chicken and Vegetables

First off a couple disclaimers. 1. I like to double and triple recipes to have lunches and dinners for the week. Meal prepping saves Brian and I a lot of time through week and out of drive through. 2. I prefer one pot meals if I can. 3. I basically use recipes as a guide.Continue reading “Recipe: Creamy Chicken and Vegetables”
