Eats Lately

Good Morning!

I have lots of good new eats and recipes to share with you guys today!  I’ve been experimenting with different protein mug muffins and fun desserts.

Check them out:

Pesto Chicken Burger

1 can chunk chicken – 1 tbsp basil pesto – 1/4 tsp garlic powder – salt and pepper – 1 tbsp coconut flour – 1 egg white

Mix, mix mix, and form into a patty.  Heat Oil in a pan on medium heat.  Place burger in the pan on the stove top and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a crispy crust forms!

Blueberry Mug Muffin

1 scoop vanilla protein powder – small handful of blueberries – liquid stevia (may omit) – water ( I never measure the water, I just add it until a smooth consistency forms)  My guess it is about 3 tbsp.  Fold in blueberries last!  Microwave for 90 seconds. Top with crushed walnuts, or any other kind of nut that you prefer.

Healthy Broccoli Salad

1 bag fresh broccoli – 2-3 cups of grapes, cut in half – Slivered walnuts (prob 1/4 cup) – 1/4 cup dried cranberries – 1/4 cup sunflower seeds – 5 slices turkey bacon (cooked, cooled, and crumbled)

Dressing:  1 container (5.3 oz) plain greek yogurt – 3 packets stevia – 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.

Mix dressing and pour over salad.  Mix well.

Grilled Peaches

Cut peaches in half –  Grill on low heat for about 5 minutes on each side.

Sprinkles with cinnamon and honey.

Top with walnuts and whipped cream

Stuffed Peppers

I was inspired by this Recipe.

Brown 1 lb Laura’s lean ground beef in a pan with red onion and garlic. (1/4 red onion, 1 tbsp minced garlic)

Pour off grease, add in seasonings:  oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup pizza sauce, tops of bell peppers (chopped)

Scoop meat mixture into bell peppers and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.  Top with mozzarella cheese and bake 3-5 more minutes until cheese is melted!

• I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners, although I do have a diet drink every once in a blue moon.  I usually don’t drink pop and if I have iced tea I get unsweetened with a lemon 🙂  You see lots of hype about aspartame and sucralose, but Are Artificial Sweeteners Really Going To Kill Me?
