 Stuffed Peppers/Tomatoes:
This picture shows my stuffed tomatoes, but you can use peppers instead, which I actually prefer! Or a combination of both! Just a matter of personal preference! Also, can be made with lean turkey or beef, again, your preference. Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb 93% lean ground turkey, or beef 3-4 large red bell peppers, or large tomatoes 1 garlic clove, minced 1/4 onion, minced 1 tbsp chopped parsley 1 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp garlic powder Worchestershire Sauce (few splashes) 1/4 cup tomato sauce 1 cups cooked brown rice rice Grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano Cheese Olive oil spray Salt & pepper to taste! For the peppers, I hollow them out and par boil them for about ten minutes. set aside. For tomatoes, just hollow them out and set aside. In a saucepan, sauté your onions & garlic until translucent and softened, set aside. Next, in brown your meat of choice (lean beef, turkey). Once meat is browned, drain it, and add onions & garlic and combine. Now I add my herbs, and seasoning. Next, add either my favorite jar sauce, or homemade sauce. A few tablespoons or so. A few splashes of Worcestershire Sauce, a healthy sprinkle of really good grated parmesan cheese, and about a cup or so of brown rice (that has been pre-cooked). Combine and let simmer for a few minutes. When ready to finish. place the 8 peppers or tomatoes in a shallow casserole dish, sprayed with olive oil spray, fill with meat filling, pour more tomato sauce over the top of all…sprinkle wish parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake till meat is heated through and tomatoes/peppers have softened! Serve with a fresh salad!  Healthy eating doesn't have to be bland or boring! I am making this delicious chimichurri sauce today from fresh & healthy ingredients and it's FULL of flavor!!

Homemade Chimichurri is SO good, and simple! You just need to grab some fresh herbs and garlic...and GET CHOPPING!

 Crunchy baked chicken! This is SO good, and EASY and a HEALTHY way to cook chicken breasts! I actually made these early in the day and just quickly heated them and served with a big salad, but these could totally be made a day ahead! They also taste great cold, would be great for a quick lunch! #healthymadeEASY #goodEATS
For egg wash: Instead of whole eggs, I used just 3 egg whites, Added couple tablespoons of dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt & pepper. For coating: I used mainly chopped almonds, and super finely chopped pecans, seasoned with pink peppercorns, a bit of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt & pepper and a touch of paprika. Using thin sliced or thinly pounded chicken breasts, dip in egg mixture, coat generously with nut "breading" and place on sheet pan sprayed with coconut oil and bake till golden brown!.

☀as always, feel free to SHARE any of my posts☀ As the weather gets nicer, I tend to eat more and more salad, and while some people may find salads boring, I absolutely LOVE them. The key is to make them interesting. I ALWAYS make my own dressings, and I like to constantly mix things up by using different types of lettuce (kale, bibb, endive, brocoli slaw, etc) different fruits and veggies (avocado, tomato, olives, apple, pear), different cheeses (parmesan, provolone, feta), different accents (seeds, nuts, dried fruit), and different proteins (grilled shrimp, sliced steak, carved chicken) Here's one of my favorites: Broccoli Kale Crunchy Salad! -Broccoli slaw -Kale -Sunflower seeds -Dried cranberries (just a tablespoon) -Slivered Almonds -Homemade citrus onion vinaigrette SO crunchy and SO good... AND 21 Day Fix APPROVED!! |
