Super Simple Stir Fry
This is a great one to prepare in advance and make on the spot. The prep time can take a while: slicing and dicing and all that. However, once all that is done, actually cooking it up takes 5 minutes. It’s also best to prepare the rice in advance and let it cool. This is […]
Pumpkin Protein Latte
Since I am thousands of miles from any coffee shop that would make me any sort of pumpkin latte, I decided to try my hand at making my own. I bought a little 3lb pumpkin and got a few good dishes out of it. That little pumpkin went a long way! It was so easy […]
4 Ingredient Savory Pumpkin Slices
I bought a little pumpkin and got all sorts of goodness out of it. It was only 1,5 kgs (3lbs), but from that I made these savory slices, pumpkin oatmeal cookies, and a frozen pumpkin protein shake. Amazing! We Americans love our pumpkin-flavored-anything as soon as the holidays hit, but I always hated the idea […]
Hearty Healthy Beef Stew
Perfect for cold weather and staying in, this stew is full of nutrients. It was the first stew I made using all fresh ingredients from the market in the city center. 1-2.5 lbs (500g-1kg) of beef 1-2 beef bones 1-2 lbs carrots 1-2 lbs potatoes 1 bunch of celery 5-6 tomatoes 2-3 red onions 4-5 […]
Bean And Amaranth Chili
Amaranth is a funny tiny grain. It’s great to add into your diet for variety. I used it to add carbs into my chili. The chili came about when I just threw together what I could find in the cupboards. The best way to start is the night before you plan to have this meal. […]
Low Fat Egg Salad
When I was growing up egg salad was always made with mayonnaise. Yuck! As a kid, I didn’t care much, but now I never use mayo. I don’t think I ever bout it in my adult life. So how do you get yummy, creamy egg salad without it? Here’s how I make it: Eggs Mustard […]
Veggie Tacos and Homemade Spelt Tortillas
Every weekend we do our grocery run so by the end of the week we’re running low on ingredients. This was one of those recipes that I threw together with whatever I had laying around. I need to disclose something: when I cook, I really don’t measure anything. I only use measuring units when I […]
Apples and Peanut Butter
When you have a sweet tooth that needs to be satisfied this is the perfect snack to reach for. It’s easy, simple, and delicious. The one thing you need to watch out for is the peanut butter. It’s mostly fat and can be high in calories. 2 large spoonfuls is about 200 calories. It can […]
Quinoa Bowl
I have a method to making easy and yummy meals: carb base, protein, and something for flavor. I will make a large batch of brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, or something like that and then refrigerate it and use it throughout the week. It makes your meals SO much faster than making everything from scratch. Ingredients: […]
Open Chicken Rice Cake Sandwiches
These are a yummy, quick sandwich that can be used as a snack or even a meal if you eat several of them. When I made them the chicken was still hot, but you can also make it with cold chicken. Ingredients: Chicken Breast Rice Cakes Mustard Cottage Cheese Directions: Cook your chicken however you […]
