Great new recipe this month for Thai Chicken Pizza
It is super fast and easy and it is DELICIOUS — so try it and ENJOY!!
Ok – To be honest, I did not even know what succotash was until I tried this recipe. It is awesome because it is all about the crock pot — who ever invented the crock pot was a total GENIUS!!
So enjoy — I know you and your family will love it — it is totally kid friendly!!
Lots of smoothie recipes this month because it is a great way to get a quick good for your breakfast — so get out of the fast food lane and into taking good care of yourself!!
This uses mango and papaya — if you can’t find any fresh or are just too lazy, there is great frozen mango in the freezer section at Publix (or your favorite grocery store if you are outside of the Douglasville area) So no excuses to get eating better — this is super quick!
Well it is that time of the year. Time to examine your health and eating habits. Hopefully these recipes will help you do that.
Start with breakfast! Try the power green smoothie. A powerful punch of vitamins from the green magma — try it you will LOVE the energy you get!! And a great power punch from the protein powder, I use Amplify protein powder exclusively because it has great taste and is easy to mix.
Or there is our great Veggie Quiche which makes a great dinner.
And kids like BOTH of these — so why not share that new health with your whole family!!!
I love to look through cookbooks and find great recipes using fresh food that are also delicious. And while I think it is important for adults to learn and try new foods and learn to find fruits and vegetables that they can love. I realize as a parent that it is very difficult to get a child to sometimes eat vegetables. And when they do, it is hard for them to learn to like the healthy ones.
So when I saw this cookbook, I thought it was worth a try. And it is actually very cool. The idea is to make puree from vegetables and fruit and then you use them in the recipe so it is never actually something that is obviously in there. For example, there is chocolate pudding with avocado puree — don’t freak out — it is actually MIND BLOWING good pudding. Now remember, kids can’t live on chocolate pudding and macaroni, even with some puree.
So give it a try, there are some great recipes in her for kid friendly food — they take a bit longer but I totally think it is worth it – I mean it isn’t even $20 !!
Ok this one I checked out because my son had asked for a few times — NEVER AGAIN!!!
Instead of eating : Atlanta Bread Company Turkey Club Panini
You could eat all of this: 2 slices whole wheat, one slice cheese, 3 slices turkey, dijon mustard. AND a cup of vegetable soup AND 3 cups of salad, sliced tomato and 2 tbsp salad dressing
THAT IS A TON OF FOOD!! Way more than you need for lunch — so dump the greasy panini and lose some weight and be FULL longer!!
Studies have shown that people who eat soup before a meal tend to consume fewer calories overall. And it is winter (except down here where it is unseasonably warm this week)
But cold it will soon be
With Christmas right around the corner and everyone busy with activities, these are easy make ahead meals or freezer meals too.
So enjoy!!
