The picture doesn't give this meal justice!
Last night, I cooked chicken. Just cut up some chicken and threw it in a hot skillet of fat free Italian dressing. While that cooked, I steamed frozen cauliflower in the microwave in a Tupperware (my Mom sells this so I have to give a shout out to it....honestly one of my best purchases evah! --- If you want some, I will get you in touch with her). Anyhoo, while I was steaming the cauliflower, I put a little bit of grapeseed oil (you can use EVOO or whatever healthy fat oil you want) and 2 cloves of garlic in the skillet.
After a bit of the chicken cooking, I threw in some red onion and yellow and red peppers. Let that cook up nice and brown.
Back to the other skillet: I added some mushrooms and tomatoes. Once the cauliflower was done, I drained it and mashed it. I put it in the skillet and let it simmer together. The last minute or two, I put some reduced fat mozz cheese on top.
That was my dinner last night. What was left over, I put in a TUPPERWARE container for lunch today. I put it on the stove and heated....added a few more veggies.
The flavors completely complimented each other!
Think of all the nutrients you get with this meal! Not a lot of carbs. High in protein.
Peppers - Lots of Vitamin C
Onion - Studies show that it can help lower your cholesterol and triglycerides
Chicken - Loads of protein
Cauliflower - More protein and low carbs
Two meals in one. And not an expensive or hard to make meal!
Can't beat that, can ya!

This meal was probably the easiest.
Side salad with feta and tomato. Topped with balsamic, of course.
The veggie burger is organic and was premade - but organic! :)
Fresh veggies sautéed right along with this. Super easy!
Only about 175 kcals for this meal.
Carbs? What carbs!

Another great lunch!

Egg/Avocado Salad |
HOLY CRAPOLA!
My only words to describe the deliciousness that is in every scrumptious bite! And RIDICULOUSLY healthy for you! All the healthy fats a body needs! And full of protein - OF COURSE!
I only took 1/3 of it at first. Thought I would split it between THREE meals. Um no......I went back in and got the other part of my half. :)
Here's the DL on it:
Here's the DL on it:
Kcal - 423
22 grams of carbs
27 grams of fat (Remember, the GOOD FAT - it is made of avocados!!!)
18 grams of protein
543 sodium (a little higher than I would like but still well below my 2200 daily allowance
4 sugars! That's it! ONLY FOUR!
Want the recipe?
4 hard boiled eggs
4 hard boiled eggs
1 avocado
1 Tbsp of light mayonnaise - now, if I wouldn't have been out of greek yogurt, I would have used that instead - MORE PROTEIN BABY!
Scallions - however much you want
Then I put it on red lettuce and one mini pita pocket - get rid of this if you are wanting to cut carbs - I am running later so I am good with the ratio for my lunch. To add a little bit of color, cherry tomatoes - even though I am totally feeling the greenness.
Oh, and a little bit of salt and pepper. NOT MUCH!
Cut that entire recipe IN HALF! Otherwise, you are going to consume over 800 calories for one meal. :-/
Enough said on that. Otherwise, I am going back for more. And I MUST save this for lunch tomorrow! Maybe skip the pita bread :)
Buen provecho!

Lunch! YUMMO!
LUNCH~I love putting together creations.
Here's how I planned this out. I had plenty of fruit for my breakfast and added a few more pieces in my morning snack of Greek yogurt so I needed to make sure I was getting some extra veggies in on my lunch.
Oven roasted turkey breast with Muenster cheese on top of a bed of red lettuce and "part" of a mini pita bread ( I couldn't bring myself to eating the entire pita) - Oh, I layered the pita with garlic hummus. I ate it with a fork so I didn't eat all of the bread. GOOD IDEA, HUH?!!!!
Passing those calorie savers along to my friends. :)

Thanks to my running buddy, Amy, I had sugar snap peas for my side. I wanted something crunchy. She told me to throw some in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then immediately dump them in iced water. WOW! Super delish! Great side....kind of sweet but totally nutritious!
Here's the DL on it:
331 kcal
31 carbs
25 protein
12 fat
4 sugars
WHAT!? Yep! That healthy and only took me about 5 minutes to prepare.
If you are packing for lunch and don't have a stove to heat up the turkey and cheese, eat this baby cold!
Buen provecho
