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!

Some is better than none

So sometimes life happens and we get busy and things fall to the backburner. I haven't written in 11 days!! Yikes - we have a lot to catch up on! Since last time we have been out of town and played at a really cool playground that was developed for all kids - so kids with disabilities could have the same fun as a child without a disability. It was amazing and really struck my heart since I occasionally work with kids with disabilities. I only took one real picture unfortunately, the rest were on snap chat (terra227). It also gave me the thought that they need an adult sized playground. My SIL and I had fun playing but were too big for a lot of it!  Have you ever seen an adult playground, like with old school playground equipment meant for adults?? Someone should make one! I have also started a new program!! I am so excited and am loving this program. I have done it for 5 days so far and am already seeing amazing results!! It is an MMA style workout but they throw in strength...

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

As we sit on the plane in Florida getting ready to take off to head home, I'm already beginning to think about the coming weeks. I'm so excited to start the new Core de Force and dive into the meal plan for this program. I haven't gotten my book yet but I've heard this plan is different so I'm super excited!! I've also been reading a little bit about carb cycling. As I figure that out I'll keep you all updated too! I think it sounds great but I need to keep researching it for me and my fam. I feel like carbs are my biggest struggle so if I can find a plan where I can still eat them and not have my stomach blow up that would be amazing!!  For now I'm going to stick to the specific plan for Core de Force though. I wanted to share with you our homemade spaghetti sauce today. It's so easy to make and so good. The best part though is that you can freeze it for another time! Plus it's sugar free!!
