Meal Prep Tuesday







Hi!!!  Last time I was here I was on my third week of my 30 Day Pescatarian I guess diet for lack of a better word. Well I like it so much I have decided to extend it, I see results and I don’t feel the need to binge eat but because of falling off so frequently in the past if I crave something I eat it and then go back to eating right. I also now limit my intake of processed foods and 98% of the time I only eat Whole Foods. I am learning you can be completely satisfied eating fish, grains and fruits and veggies. I have the eating down finally now my next goal is to be more consistent in my workouts. I have accountability in eating now I need to find it in exercising.
So below I have a couple days of meals prepped and basically what I used and how I cooked each item. For seasoning I keep it the same, basil, oregano, garlic powder and chopped garlic , parsley, onion powder and chopped onion, Italian seasoning, chili powder, paprika, Himalayan pink salt and black pepper but I always say use the seasoning you like best.  So keep reading for a little glimpse into my diet/life change.




 For breakfast I made veggie egg cups or muffins. They are quick, easy and low carb.  I used 6 eggs, half a cup of peppers and onions and half a cup of broccoli. Last week when I made these I didn’t have any cheese but I liked them without it and I like to add a little salsa and sriracha on top.

Lunch is a little higher in carbs, I used half a box of whole wheat and quinoa spaghetti mixed with cauliflower, broccoli, peppers and onions and shrimp. The shrimp, broccoli and cauliflower and peppers and onions were baked on 350 until done and I tossed the pasta in a little olive oil, 3 tablespoons pasta water and the liquid from the shrimp and peppers and onions.

Snacks are pretty simple edamame, mixed nuts and fruits.

 For dinner I’ll be having salmon with sweet and spicy barbecue sauce on a bed of sauteed kale and spinach and steamed green beans.

I love easy meal prep and only will do 3 to 4 days of food at a time so I don’t get burned out on what I am eating. So far with this Pescatarian diet I am doing well. I can see the weight dropping off and I committed to keeping it up.

Thanks for reading and as always feel free to comment. I hope to see you all back her next week. XOXO Lola K..

Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

Image
I was craving something sweet but not with too many grams of sugar so I went hunting for a easy and healthier recipe and trusty old Pinterest came through.  I found a couple of recipes but this one was easy and most of the ingredients were already in my pantry.  It was Ambitious Kitchen , a peanut oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with no flour or butter.  I of course tweaked it to my liking.  Below is my version but you can click the link above for Monique's version.  Keep scrolling for my take on the recipe. Preheat oven to 350 degrees,  mix together 2/3 cup oats, half teaspoon salt, 1 tbsp PB2 and 1 tsp baking soda and set aside.  In a separate bowl beat 2/3 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup raw sugar, 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla with electric mixer until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients with plastic spatula, then gently fold in 1/2 cup jumbo dark chocolate chips.  Roll cookies into 2 inch dough balls and place onto cookie sheet 2 inches apart, then flatten th

30 Day Reset

                                            Lately I have let life situations get me off track, I wasn’t eating right and gained back all the weight I worked so hard at losing last year. I would try on clothes and they would fit but I didn’t feel comfortable even in clothing as simple as graphic tees which are like my everyday uniforms.  Then I decided to work out again and take before pictures and got the shock of my life.  Those pictures were a slap in the face and proved why I was miserable all the time that is when I finally decided to do something about it for good.  So on October 30th I decided to try something new, working out 3 times a week just to get my body accustomed to it and trying pescatarianism for 30 days.  This is the 3rd week and I feel great.  The first couple of days I lost 4 inches and 6 pounds and so far I am down 16 pounds.  I haven’t been eating processed foods and have substantially cut down on my calories.  I meal prep 2 times a week and work out 3 to
