Basic Greens - Healthy Green Choices

Mediterranean Spinach Strata

(Friday July 12, 2013) Made this last night for dinner and Kev LOVES it! He usually doesn't eat left-overs, but this he wants for every meal! 

Quinoa and Black Bean Lettuce Wrap

(Thursday July 11, 2013) I procrastinated all day and when I realized that it was almost time for Kevin to come home it was too late to make what I had intended for dinner. So, I scrambled through my recipes and cabinet until I found what I needed to make this scrumptious delight!!! This was so easy to throw together and still packed with protein and other nutrients! I can't wait to have left overs for lunch!! 

Undressed Skeleton - Healthy lifestyle tips and recipes

Alright, this girl's Blog is so InSpIriNg! I just finished reading about her story about bullying and abuse. She used exercise and healthy cooking as an outlet and right in the beginning she felt how it not only made her look better on the outside, but emotionally it healed her. I can't wait to use all of her recipes and snack ideas!!

Guilt Free Ice Cream

GUILT FREE ICE CREAM! 2 Ingredients: FROZEN Bananas and Peanut Butter. I couldn't believe this until I actually tried it! I used Almond Butter instead of peanut butter. Some other ingredients that I'm going to try: Cocoa, strawberries, & blueberries.. the possibilities are endless! 

Healthy Lettuce Wrap

Healthy wrap: 1/2 cup chopped chicken, 3 Tbsp Fuji apples chopped, 2 Tbsp red grapes chopped, 2 tsp honey, 2 Tbsp almond butter. Mix and wrap in a Romaine lettuce leaf. I love the fresh crisp this has with every bite. Definitely one of my favorite treats for lunch!! 

No-Bake Energy Balls

I was so tired of making breakfast every morning, so I decided to make these energy bites! Instead of making balls I cut them into rectangles and put them into plastic baggies for a quick grab-n-go! Kevin loved them! They lasted about a week before they were all gone!
