Hello Internet world,
I hope all is having a amazing weekend. I hope your staying warm,and getting your Christmas shopping done and well just relax. Enjoy some you time. One thing I love to do is Cook. I find it relaxing and well I love the challenge and you know feeling like wolf gang puck in my kitchen :) So today's blog is not so much on my working out. Which I did I had a rest day, Then did legs and back and ab ripper x and then also some plyometrics. There so you got my weekend workout plus did plenty of walking around malls and stores :) So back to Food. I look and google and search and read all types of recipes. Since I love being in the kitchen and believe in the saying that is a woman's place. I like having new and fresh or classic recipes. I also now like having a bunch of clean or 500 or less calorie meals. and Tasty ones at that. So I here are some of the few I have tryed have pictures of and well just good and maybe a little different then what we are used to I get sick of fish and chicken all the time!!!!
So first recipe is going to be out of my Fitness magazine: Mhmmmmmmm Seared Steak
with eggplant saute
Ok now I cant lie I changed it up. I am still learning to like new food and eggplant is one of them and since the picture looked good I wondered could I switch perhaps eggplant for Zucchini and squash?? Of course beauty about food haha so when cooking for 2 usually my sister and I but if you cook for single just used half of ingredients
what you need:
8oz of skirt steak
1 zucchini
1 squash
1/2 tomato
5 cherry mozzarella or 1oz of feta(I used fresh mozzarella Italian cheese healthier)
2 leave of arugula
1/4 red onion
2 tbs of minced garlic
What you have in your pantry
Pepper
salt
olive oil
its really easy to make just cut your steak in to slices then let it sit in a bowl with olive oil minced garlic a half onion and stir around make sure each slice of steak is covered if you have splash some wine I threw a splash of white wine in there for it to marinade for a min use red too if you like :) while that is sitting there for a second you can take your veggies and take your zucchini and squash and dice it up. add red onion and tomato.
Turn on oven to 350
Now both are ready to cook you first sear the meat I place some olive oil in the pan for not even two min I pan fry the meat you should still see some pink..
Then after all you piece of meat have fry ed a bit cooked half brown you place in another baking pan and place in oven for 10 mins at 350 your oven should already be preheated.
At this point you can pan fry you veggies pour a spoon or two of olive oil heat your pan throw in your veggies I had a little bit of black beans left over from the night before I rinse and threw them the mix to why not why waste food. so a the veggies have been saute I threw a little dash with no salt in the mix mhmm great seasoning.
take everything out and serve once on plate you can add to the veggies diced mozzarella and I used arugula instead of mint But always use what you have don't go buy a 50.00 dinner I spent 13 bucks and feed my sister and I. Here is a picture and I hope if any of you try this you enjoy it as much as I did :)it was yummy
btw I think I made it look like the magazine what do you think there is both
Ok so next recipe is My Stuffed Green pepper Meatloaf it was yummy!!! This is a single serving recipe if you want to make it for more just double or ect
what you need
1 whole green pepper
5 oz of ground turkey
half can of salsa
a veggie of your choice
I used green beans you can use whatever you like!
1/3 black beans
what you may have in pantry or fridge
pepper
garlic powder
ketchup
graded Romano or Parmesan cheese
Directions just mix your turkey with salsa and pepper and garlic powder leave in a bowl while you cut and clean your pepper, once ready stuff your turkey in your green pepper and once stuffed place on pan and sprinkle graded Romano on top. Cut your green beans I always use fresh green beans but you can use the green giant steamers if so just pop in microwave but I boil and then pan fry mine I like fresh produce and cost the same so I boil to clean any bacteria that may be in them. and then throw them in the pan with a little olive oil and garlic. and black beans I was gonna have rice but changed my mind lol.
