New Meal Idea!

So lately I've been making progress preparing my meals in advance and getting new ideas for easy and tasty meals.

Last week I made a big batch of sweet mashed potatoes and brown rice. It made eating right (and not being tempted to eat out) so easy! All I had to add was the protein and the greens (which I lacked because I procrastinated going food shopping) Everything lasted me for the week and it was great.

Here is one of the meals I made (and loved) this week as well as some of the ingredients. Oh! And I have a new love! *drumrolls* OLD BAY. I absolutely LOVE seafood and the way this specific spice brings out the flavor in seafood is unbelievable, great addition to my pantry!

This below is a bit random, but I wanted to share this delicious "breakfast" smoothie I made the other day. All you need is Almond Milk/coconut milk (or a mix of both which I used. A frozen or room temperature banana, powdered cocoa (ghiradelli's is the BEST), dissoluble coffee and a spoonful of nut butter. For a heartier smoothie you can add oatmeal but this one didn't. Either way, it was absolutely delicious! Great for a healthy snack option as well.

Meals I've been making

As of 2013, I have been more adamant about cooking my own meals. It wasn't easy at first but now that i've gotten the hang of it I enjoy it. I love that i'm able to control the amounts of oil, salt etc and I know exactly what's going in my body. Here are a few pictures of some meals I've made, to keep me motivated and remind me of some meal options 😊

Corn on the cob, broccoli, beef with mushrooms and red pepper.

Marinated chicken strips (italian dressing) broccoli, boiled plantains and peas.

Waffle from trader joe's,toasted it, put some white chocolate chips from Ghirardelli's on top, toasted it a bit more and some fresh strawberries it was DELICIOUS and simple to make like I like it.

Egg omelette, red peppers, spinach and chipotle seasoning 👌 by far one of the tastiest, easiest breakfasts I've made thus far.

Steak, black rice with Kale, red peppers, corn and "cuban style" beans from Trader Joe's.

"Fruit brochette" I like finding new fun ways to eat fruits. Fruit brochettes are so easy to make and fun to eat! Just be careful not to poke the back of your throat.

White wine shrimp linguine? Spinach on the side.

My version of chicken carbonara. Made the mushroom sauce with almond milk, thickened with some pancake mix flower 🙊, added bacon and onions to the mix. It was delicious! One of my best accomplishments and a bit healthier than the traditional version.
