21 Day Fix Approved Pizza

This is by FAR one of our favorite meals to make because it feels like we are indulging. I'm salivating thinking about it and think I'll make it again tomorrow! I teach my clients to live by the 80/20 rule and this meal is ok to eat any time but feels SO much like something we should only enjoy during our 20% "treats". 

If you like pizza, you are going to thank me for this one. #yourewelcome

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED

Spinach

Grape Tomatoes

Feta

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Garlic

Chicken Sausage or any protein (lean)

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Directions

1. Preheat your oven (400 F)

2. Sautee garlic in EVOO

3. Add Spinach (and a dash of salt)

4. Cook Chicken Sausage or protein of choice in separate skillet

5. Spread spinach on the crust like "sauce"

6. Cut tomatoes and chicken sausage and evenly place spinach

7. Add feta

8. DEVOUR

 No but really...why does an entire bag of spinach shrink and shrivel to basically NOTHING! Sometimes I use 2 bags to get in extra greens if I have it. 

Here's how it works for 21 Day Fix...

1 YELLOW - Crust

1 GREEN - Spinach & Tomatoes

1 RED - Chicken Sausage/Protein

1 TSP - EVOO

1 BLUE - Feta Cheese

Let me know how you like it!!!

21 Day Fix Approved Chicken Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Growing up, I couldn't stand peppers. Now they are one of my absolute FAVORITE things to eat! The possibilities of things you can stuff them with are ENDLESS! So, today I'm going to share with you one of my hubby's favorites. 

1 GREEN - Pepper

1 YELLOW - Quinoa 

1 RED - Shredded Chicken 

1 BLUE - Cheese

I make stuffed peppers so often that I forgot to take the ingredients pic. Sorry about that. Don't worry though, this one is super simple and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand since it's mostly flavored with SPICES. If you haven't figured out by now, SPICES are where it's at! You don't need to add fatty things to make things taste good. You can achieve great flavors and delicious meals with S-P-I-C-E-S!

INGREDIENTS: Green peppers, quinoa, shredded chicken, cheese of choice, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper

DIRECTIONS: Clean/cute peppers. Place one piece of cheese in the bottom of each pepper. 

I like making a crockpot of shredded chicken (simply in salt/pepper/chicken broth/garlic/onions) and using it in a variety of ways throughout the week. This is one of those ways! It's already ready to go and doesn't need cook time. 

Cook 1 serving of quinoa, add 3-4 cups of shredded chicken, and mix together. 

Add all of the spices (to taste)

Bake on 350-375 for 20-30 minutes and ENJOY!

***We had a little bit of marinara left over in our fridge (literally a TINY bit, so I added it to the top of these peppers for looks). You certainly can add marinara if you'd like but don't forget to count it for your containers!

Let me know what you think and your favorite stuff pepper ingredients! I have a Philly Cheesesteak coming to you soon!!!  

In Love & Light,

21 Day Fix Approved Ranch Fish Dish

I'm kind of embarrassed to be sharing this recipe because of how EASY it is. However, you all know by now that I'm not one to brag about my cooking skills. I am ALL about easy, quick, and tasty. Since it's 21 Day Fix approved, easy, quick, & tasty, I decided it was worth sharing. We've made it one of our go-to's in our house. As they say, sharing is caring.

Brace yourselves for the worlds easiest fish recipe besides lemon pepper seasoning (which is another favorite of ours)....

This would count a...

1 Green - greenbeans

1 tsp - coconut oil (which is ridiculously yummy on green beans)

1 Red - Dover Sole fish

1/4 Yellow  - organic breadcrumbs

(This barely even counts as 1/4 but I figured for those of you that are super particular, I'd count it as something. I personally wouldn't count it as anything.)

HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THE FISH DISH

Seriously. That is it! Mix about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs with a packet of Ranch dressing mix OR homemade ranch seasoning (which is what I prefer but with our move, we didn't get all of our spices yet and just so happened to have an extra one of these and decided to use it) then lightly cover the fish with the bread crumbs. Bake according to fish type and enjoy!

I'm all about SIMPLE & TASTY and this one is just that! If you're feeling spicy, add a little hot sauce to it for a fishy version of wings.

Let me know how you like it!

In Love & Light,
Heather
