Meatloaf this active Texas girl has got to have

This is a little recipe I whipped up for the family dinner last night . I prepared everything ahead of time for the hubs to put in the oven while I trained a client. It turned out quite excellent.

I recently purchased Flavor God's spices and they have saved me quite a bit of time and added so much flavor to my food. I'm ever so grateful for finding them on Instagram :)

The Ingredients:

2 lbs of Kolby Ground Beef
2 eggs
1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 of a thinly sliced zuccini
1/2 white onion, diced
1 heaping TBS minced garlic
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1 heaping TBS of Flavor God's Everything Seasoning
1/4 tsp of cayenne

spray your pan (I used a glass dish) with cooking spray or grease up with a little olive oil

mix meat and veggies in a bowl with 2 eggs then add the seasonings and incorporate well

with your hands, mold the meat into a loaf and place in your pan

sprinkle the top with some more sea salt and Flavor God Everything Seasoning

bake in the oven on 375 for 45min or until meat is done (no longer pink and hot in the middle- use a meat thermometer)

if a lot of fat is in the bottom of your dish you may want to put your loaf on a rack in your pan to get it out of the excess fat.

Remember to buy organic fruits and vegetables when available and your meat and eggs should be grass fed, grain free- no corn

doesn't beef contain a lot of fat, and therefore will make me fat? umm, yes beef contains fat. NO! it will NOT make you fat. If you are eating more calories than required of ANYTHING you will gain weight. The body needs healthy fat every day. Healthy fat does not make you fat.

 if you make this dish, let me know in the comments below :)

I failed to take a picture of this dish- as the family was hovering around the kitchen waiting upon my arrival so that they could eat. I plan on taking a picture of the leftover and updating this post :)

Cauliflower to Rice

 1 head cauliflower- washed

1 TBSP Sesame oil or coconut oil (you can use olive oil)

Sea Salt

Pepper

White Onion

Garlic- minced (1-2 cloves)

Using a cheese grater or food processor with grater, grate cauliflower. (If using a good processor cut in chunks first)

In large pan or wok add oil and let heat up

Add garlic and onions and cook until onions are translucent

Add grated cauliflower, season with sea salt and pepper. cook covered until softened. 

You can add any seasoning you like. I added an egg, broccoli and green onions with a little low sodium tsarmari. 

It's amazing how the texture is just like rice. My family didn't even know they were eating cauliflower. 😂

Eat Clean: Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

I cannot take any credit for this recipe. I've been making for quite awhile now when I'm in a pinch- like today 😳

I got the idea from a young lady who I used to follow on Facebook. For the life of me, I cannot remember her name. When I do, I will mention her in this blog for proper credit 😇
 Ingredients🍎🍆🍒

Frozen chicken breasts

Jar of organic salsa

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours.

This is great in corn tortilla's, in salad with fresh avocado or in a baked sweet potato. Delish! 😜

 

Eat Clean: Apples and Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats

 

Simple. Clean. Yummy!

I like to make this on my food prep day. I will separate into individual  serving sizes so its grab and go! It makes the house smell so yummy!

1 C Steel Cut Oats

3 C unsweetened vanilla coconut or almond milk

1/4 C powdered stevia

3 organic gala or Fuji apples

I like to use the slow cooker bags for easy clean up. Be sure to spray slow cooker or bag with organic cooking spray.

Place all ingredients in coated slow cooker and stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. 

Turn your slow cooker on high to cook 4 hours. Be sure to stir often.

If you like a little sweeter, you can add a smidge of raw organic honey right before consuming. Top with walnuts. Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Cubes

These are scrumptious! And can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, morning snack! Nom-nom!

What you will need:

Sweet potatoes with skin, cut into cubes 

TBSP coconut oil

Cinnamon

Per-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper on a large cookie sheet and place cubed potatoes on parchment paper. Sprinkle with coconut oil and lots of cinnamon. 

Place in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip sweet tators and cook an additional 20 minutes. Enjoy!

 

Eating Clean Stir Fry

If you are in the mood for a little stir fry, this dish will for sure satisfy! Most asian cuisines are packed full of excess fats and starchy carbohydrates. This dish is clean, clean, clean, full off veggies, nutrients and quite tasty.

Ingredients:
1 TBSP olive or coconut oil
package of organic chicken, cut into cubes
1/2 white onion
garlic clove
broccoli
shredded cabbage
1 red bell peppers 
mushrooms (optional)
any other veggie you like in stir fry

Sauce:
2 TBSP rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp raw honey
3 TBSP low sodium tamari or Bragg's amino
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add cubed chicken and cook until completely done- set aside. Add onions and garlic to the skillet or wok and cook until onions are translucent. Add raw veggies and cook for abut 2 minutes and then add the sauce. Continue cooking veggies in the sauce to the point where they are just turning bright in color- not too long, you don't want mushy veggies. Once veggies are finished cooking, add the chicken and mix all ingredients together.

For the sauce:
Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl

If you are in phase 1, you can add 1/4 cup of steamed brown rice with this dish.

Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Buffalo chicken tenders are a big hit in my household. You can ad these to your salads, shred and put in corn tortilla's, or just have them with a side of greens. 
 
Ingredients:
organic chicken tenders or chicken breasts cut into strips
1 Cup of Frank's Buffalo Sauce
1/4 Cup coconut oil (softened)
sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Mix Frank's and coconut oil together. Season organic chicken with sea salt and ground pepper and then dip in your Frank's and coconut oil. Place on a cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper for easy clean up) and place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through.
