Avocado Egg Salad

So in eating healthy I'm finding that I'm obsessed with eggs and avocado.  I try to enjoy them together once a week.  They are so good together!

Today's lunch was an egg salad pita made with guacamole instead of mayo.  Oh my was it good.  Recipe was so simple too!

1/2 whole wheat pita

1 whole hard boiled egg and 1 extra hard boiled egg white

1/2 a 100 cal pack of guacamole 

Mix together the eggs and guacamole and put inside the pita.  I used smaller pitas so I got enough egg salad to fill both halves.  So I ate one today and I will eat one tomorrow too.

I enjoyed it with fresh fruit, rice cakes and salsa, a small laughing cow 25 cal cheese wedge and some celery!

Quinoa Why Have I Waited So Long

I have seen and heard so many people talk and post about Quinoa lately.  I kept saying I must try this but never tried any.  Until today!  Oh my......what was I waiting for?  This stuff is awesome!  So yummy and healthy too!

I thought it was going to be hard to fix too.  Nope easy peasy.  I boiled 1/4 cup in chicken broth for about 15 minutes.  Fluffed it with a fork after it boiled.  While it was boiling I chopped the tops off three big tomatoes and scrapped the insides out and discarded them.  I chopped the tops up and mixed in a little bit of cheddar shredded cheese and some grated Parmesan.  After the quinoa was boiled I added it to the tomato/cheese mix and stuffed the tomatoes.  I baked them for about 15 minutes at 350.  Soooooo good.  I had some marinated mushrooms and green beans too. I'm saving the third tomato for a snack tomorrow!  I can not wait to see what I'm going to make next with quinoa!  Stay tuned as I will post those creations here too!  

Healthy Bento Box Lunch

I'm so excited to have finally found a bento box.  Or what I consider a bento box.  I've been wanting to pack cute little lunches for myself and my little girl.  Today was my first day using it.  With snow days all last week it sat staring at me from the counter.  I was so excited that I had my Shakeology for breakfast  so I could have my bento box lunch at work.

I put fruits, veggies, protein, dairy and a healthy fat in it.  Celery, tomatoes, mushrooms, with a little bit of guacamole, strawberries, grapes, a hard boiled egg and a cheese wedge.  It was yummy and every bit as exciting as I hoped it would be.

I got the bento box at Target for around $7 I think.

Happy Valentines Day

Pink Heart Pancakes!  I've seen many posts where people make pink pancakes with food coloring.  Yuck!  I go a healthier route, beets!  I purée beets and keep them in individual containers in the freezer and put them in the fridge the night before I need them.  In the morning they are thawed out and ready to add to pancake mix.  The heart shapes can either be done by carefully pouring into heart shapes (I managed a few this way) or by cutting them out with a cookie cutter after making the pancakes.  I topped of our pink pancakes with heart shaped strawberries!  Yummy and healthy!

Chicken and avocado sandwich on Portabella Bun

Nothing like clean eating!  The other day I roasted a whole chicken in the crock pot.  So what's a girl to do the next night for dinner but have a chicken sandwhich.  I didn't want it on bread.  I wanted it healthier!  So I said hey I've got portabella's in the fridge.  So I took some chicken and sliced avocado and put it on two portabella's.  Had a side salad with salsa as my dressing and some sliced carrots.  Was it filing?  Oh yes it was!  I couldn't even eat the whole mushroom bun!  I love healthy eating!

Omelets Ready for the Week!

So tonight I made my omelets for the week.  All I have to do is pop them in the microwave for a quick warm up and I'm ready to go!  I might even try one cold tomorrow for my mid morning snack!

Egg whites (I buy mine by the carton)

Turkey Sausage

Shredded Cheese

I put 3 tablespoons of egg whites in each muffin cup (I used a 6 cup muffin tin for this time but I have used a mini muffin tin also)

Less than 1/4 cup of turkey sausage crumbles in each cup

Sprinkle of cheese on top

Bake at 350 till set.  Check around 10 minutes

Yummy!   I really did make 6, but two of them were still cooking.  They didn't set all the way so I put them back in the oven for a few more minutes. 

Healthy Egg Salad

I love egg salad.  I could eat it every day.  But with all that mayo I wouldn't be a size 4 for very long!  Today I made some changes so I could enjoy it.  I hope you like it too!

1 whole hard boiled egg and 1 egg white (discard other yolk)

1 spoonful of plain Greek yogurt 

Tiny bit of relish

Squirt of mustard (can you tell I'm not much for measuring when I make recipes)

Mix together and spread on whole wheat low carb tortilla 

I had a side of pineapple salsa (Trader Joes rocks) with some pretzel sticks and cheddar rice cakes!

Yummy!

Portabella Melt!

My dinner tonight was so amazingly good!  I made a portabella melt and it was delicious.  So much so I'm going to make a mini one for lunch tomorrow!

1 whole wheat pita 

Baby portabella's (I didn't put an amount because I kept cooking them till I covered the top of my pita)

Soy sauce and garlic

Less than 1/4 cup Italian cheese blend shredded

I sauted the portabella's in coconut oil (or butter if you must) and soy sauce and garlic

Spread the mushroom on top of the pita and sprinkled cheese on top.

Broiled for 2 minutes!

Around 320 calories!  I had a salad with only veggies and olives and sesame dressing also!

It was heavenly!

Healthy Breakfast!

Breakfast has been said to be "the healthiest meal of the day"!  And guess what.....it is!  If you start your day off right you are more likely to make smart choices the rest of the day!  I always include a source of protein with my breakfast as it will keep me fuller longer than just carbs.  My favorite is eggs!  I will have one whole egg and one extra egg white with some turkey sausage and just a pinch of cheese with a side of pink grapefruit (another favorite of one).  When your pressed for time you can cook your egg in the microwave for less than a minute in a microwave safe bowl or mug.  If you want your eggs scrambled, scramble before and again half way thru cooking.  Also treat your bowl/mug before you put your egg in.  I prefer coconut oil but you can use cooking spray.  Stay tuned tomorrow and I will share my omelets for a week recipe so you will have eggs for breakfast all week long!
