Happy Holidays!

It has been a glorious 5 days off work and time spent with the family!  We normally travel for the holidays, but we had been traveling so much we decided to stay home and have Thanksgiving.  Our neighbor invited us over to join their family so I didn't have to make a big meal for the 4 of us - plus AJ said he would rather go out to eat than make a big meal that may get wasted.  So I accepted the invitation 😊

I did make some pies, chocolate chip cookies and a green bean casserole to bring over 😱 I did quite well with my eating and only had a little piece of cherry pie and pumpkin pie!  I told myself I wasn't going to have any, but I only eat pumpkin pie once a year so I couldn't resist myself!

No skipping on the workout though and I tried to make the green bean casserole a little healthier - this (http://smilesandwich.com/2015/10/26/clean-eating-green-bean-casserole/) isn't the exact recipe I used, but similar.  I tried to follow the one on Beachbody on Demand's Fixate recipe (we can get you access to that free for 30 days!)

Tonight guys I made some incredible steak fajitas!  They were so delicious, everyone ate them with only a little protesting from little C because she doesn't like cooked peppers.  She still ate it though!!



Super easy and quick to make - start to finish 30 minutes max
Here's how easy it is 👇🏻
2 - 1lb flank steaks
4 medium sized bell peppers
Minced onion or sliced onion
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
Squeeze of lime juice
Slice up your steak and peppers into strips or bite sized pieces.
In a separate bowl combine 1 tbsp olive oil, squeeze of lime juice, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika and then shake bowl to coat.
Heat tbsp oil over medium heat in skillet and then add steak to skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes until mostly cooked. Add in peppers and onion and cook until peppers are soft.
Serve with small soft tortilla shells (preferably corn), and garnish with your fav toppings - we did tomatoes and salsa.
Could also use shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce or whatever your heart desires!

Enjoy guys!

Homemade Granola Bars

I LOVE granola bars!  They used to be my go to snack when I was hungry between meals and then I started eating a little cleaner, so I avoided the store bought ones for a while.  We still bought them for the kids so they were around and I would look at them often!   I have given in and eaten them a couple of times recently, but the worst part of eating clean happened - some of my favorite foods don't sit so well in my stomach anymore!  Dang it for my stomach not liking the processed food with the chemicals 😉  I've tried a couple different recipes and they are all good, but I had to keep them in the refrigerator or they got too soft. So, this recipe I found the other day bakes them which I guess I always avoided because it would take longer.  However, baking them is totally worth it!  I have wrapped them individually so I can throw them into lunch boxes and they don't fall apart by the time lunch comes around.  AND they can sit out of the ...

Happy 2017

Hey!  Happy New Year!!  I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a safe and enjoyable time ringing in 2017! Our time was spent away from home but with family for Christmas.  We had a busy but wonderful time during the holidays!  The kids seemed to really enjoy time with their cousins they hadn't seen in a while and we got to enjoy time with each other. As a family we all must have decided that we would wear some shard of blue or green on Christmas Day! My family all seem to know me well and I got a lot of new workout tanks, pants and shirts for Christmas!!  I love them all!!  This one that my husband found fits me perfectly!   What were some of your favorite Christmas presents this year?  I love giving the gift of health - and my momma decided to pass that along to my sisters as well!  I'm so excited for all of them to be joining me this month in our health bet!  As fun as it is to receive and give gifts during the holida...
