1/25/2017 0 Comments Not Chicken & Broccoli LunchesI really don't mean to pick at chicken & broccoli. It is just the most basic clean eating lunch I can think of. I have made it & eaten it. There is no shame in chicken & broccoli.
But... I would much rather have something else for my cleanish lunches. Here are the ones that I shared in my online group this past week: + Veggie Packed Salmon Patties :: If I half this recipes & pair it with quinoa, I can have 4-6 meals. + Flank Greek Lettuce Wraps :: This just makes me feel fancy. + Quick Chicken Salad :: There are so many ways to make this your own (and clean out the fridge in the process.) + Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potatoes :: Crockpot friendly prep makes this even easier. + Quinoa + Kale Salad :: After hitting a salad wall, this rejuvenated my ability to eat a leafy lunch with a smile. Bonus: Restaurant Style Salsa :: Sugar free & as organic as you want it to be

1/25/2017 4 Comments 24 Day Challenge MealsIn February 2011, my husband & I embarked on our first 24 Day Challenge. I thought that clean eating meant lots of lemon flavored fish, overcooked grilled chicken, & steamed broccoli. I cried. I literally remember staring at a piece of bland salmon on day 3 & crying because I hated what I was eating. As I began learning more about what healthy eating looked like I discovered that it wasn't bland, repetitive, & horrible. It could be fun and FLAVORFUL. This week marks day 24 for our latest group of challengers. And with that I wanted to share my 24 favorite fall & winter entrées that we have for dinner during the cleanse & max phase. A new group is right around the corner :) 1. Sweet Potato & Chicken Apple Sausage Hash
2. Crockpot Chicken Burritos 3. Butternut Squash Turkey Chili (my favorite recipe is in this e-book, but a similar one is here) 4. Peppercorn Stir Fry (Serve over Brown Rice or in Lettuce Wrap) 5. Turkey Stuffed Acorn Squash 6. Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wrap 7. Chicken Pesto Spaghetti Squash 8. Turkey Taco Soup 9. Turkey Burgers :: Just the burger. 10. Pineapple Verde Chicken 11. Asian Lettuce Wraps 12. Perfect Salmon + Fruit Salsa 13. Grilled Fish Tacos 14. Winter Kale Salad :: Add in some chicken 15.

The often ended up so dry that they became Salmon Hash in my skillet or so wet that I had a bowl of liquid from squeezing them out as I patted them.
Thanks to my friend April experimenting with measurements, this recipe nails the consistency and flavor that I love... and even better, it fits into my eating plan like a charm. This recipe makes 24 patties, which is anywhere form 8-12 servings depending on how much you eat, so you could make them for dinner for the family and still have plenty left over for lunch throughout the week. |
