So for our 10 month anniversary, Michael was presented with the letter “J.” And boy did he take it and run with it! We had a “jazz and Jamaican food” night (cause those two things typically go together, right??). He cooked up some of the best Jamaican Jerk Chicken I have ever had, so I obviously want to share it with you. Low cal, high protein, and packed with tons of flavor and fiber!
View PostI don’t know about you guyz, but I grew up on quiche. Living in the south, quiche wasn’t just a meal, it was a religion. Birthdays, showers, holidays…. all quiche everything. It wasn’t until I graduated with a degree in nutritional sciences that I realized that quiche is NOT THAT GOOD FOR YOU. Damn it. I hated to see the demise of this wonderful food in my life just because of it’s insanely high fat and calorie content, so I had to act fast. Cue my sweet potato crust quiche!
View PostThe biggest health issue with Thai food is typically either that it’s loaded with high carb and calorie pasta (think pad thai) or with high saturated fat and calorie coconut milk (think curry) or… let’s face it… both! That’s why I love chicken satay. You don’t get any of the refined carbs or the fried meats. And this chicken satay is even healthier (duh)! With light coconut milk, PB2, and lean meat, you can have your little taste of Thailand without the guilt (or the mystery meat). Stole this recipe from www.skinnytaste.com and modified it a bit to my taste/health liking.
View PostNow I’ve tried my fair share of veggie pizza crusts (cauliflower pizza crust, broccoli pizza crust, etc) and I love them. But let’s be real- they are a mess to make. They are time consuming, they make a mess of my kitchen, and they’re not the easiest to eat. This pizza crust is different. It’s simple. It’s high protein. It’s easy cleanup. And it’s GOOD.
View PostWell my taco friends, this salad is different. I ditched the high fat, low fiber ingredients for beautiful, filling, lean ingredients. But the one thing I left in? Taste of course! Salsa and lime juice serves as the dressing for this dish. I love salsa as a salad dressing. Unlike other dressings, it has almost no sugar or fat, but it definitely packs the flavor! I also used Good Thins corn crackers in place of a fried bowl or tortilla chips for this salad. I love these crackers because they use very simple, “clean” ingredients but taste great, and are also SUPER low in calories.
