Beef Roast and Carrot

Clean eating in the crock pot, means clean house :) 
 
This was REALLY good!!  Ross and I were both surprised -- so easy and so yummy!
 

Ingredients

2lb boneless beef chuck shoulder roast
1-2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
one seasoning packet (We love the McCormick mesquite and chipotle seasonings) or 3 tablespoons of your favorite homemade seasoning mix

Combine all ingredients in your slow cookers.  Add lid, and cook on “low” setting for 8-10 hours until beef shreds easily with a fork.

To Freeze

Combine all ingredients in a gallon-sized plastic freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and freeze for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Cook on “low” setting for 8-12 hours, or until meat easily pulls apart with a fork. Shred meat and serve!

Turkey, Brown Rice Stuffed Peppers

This called for quinoa, but I'm not really a fan so we used brown rice.  It was really tasty!  I think we'll add even more veggies next go around -- corn for sure :)

Ingredients:
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
1Tbs olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ medium onion, minced
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup low sodium tomato sauce, divided
1 cup low sodium chicken broth, divided
4 large sweet red bell peppers, washed
¼cup freshly grated mozzarella
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan

For the quinoa:
Over medium-high heat, bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. As the broth is coming to boil, add the quinoa, then stir and cover. Reduce the heat to a simmer and steam the quinoa until the grains pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Preheat oven to 400°.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat, cook the ground turkey in olive oil until no longer pink.

Add garlic, onion, basil and parsley to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Add ¼ cup of tomato sauce and ½ cup of chicken broth, mix well and simmer on low for about 5 minutes. Combine cooked quinoa and meat together.

Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove all seeds. Place in a baking dish.Spoon the meat mixture into each pepper half and fill it with as much as you can. Place stuffed pepper halves on the baking dish and pour the remainder chicken broth and tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan. Cover tight with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Top with cheeses and bake another 10 minutes

Curried Shrimp Kabobs

I'm not always a fan of shrimp, but this was pretty good!  Rossy loved it and I actually thought it was pretty tasty too -- the cherry tomatoes made it for me!!  We had this with brown rice and a side salad - perfect CLEAN meal!!
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
24 jumbo cooked frozen shrimp
1 tsp garlic, finely minced
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cumin
Sea salt and pepper to taste
16-20 cherry tomatoes
2 large red onions, cut into large chunks
8 large wooden skewers (soaked in water for 10 minutes) 

Preheat table top or outdoor grill 

In a large bowl or Ziploc bag, mix curry powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and garlic. 


Add shrimp and onions to spice mixture. Coat shrimp and onions thoroughly, being careful not to break up the onion chunks. 

Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer, alternating with tomatoes and onions. 


Spray grill with non-stick cooking spray and cook until shrimp is brown and onions are tender, about 8 minutes (flip halfway through)

Zucchini Lasagna

This was DELICIOUS!!  Who knew that lasagna without noodles could taste this good!!  You can substitute the beef for ground turkey and make it a little more "clean eating" :)

Ingredients: 
1 lb 93% lean beef
3 cloves garlic
1/2 onion
1 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
3 medium zucchini, sliced 1/8" thick
15 oz part-skim ricotta
16 oz part-skin mozzarella cheese, shredded (Sargento)
1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
1 large egg

In a medium sauce pan, brown meat and season with salt. When cooked drain in colander to remove any fat. Add olive oil to the pan and saute garlic and onions about 2 minutes. Return the meat to the pan, add tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer on low for at least 30-40minutes, covered. Do not add extra water, the sauce should be thick.

Meanwhile, slice zucchini into 1/8" thick slices, add lightly salt and set aside or 10 minutes. Zucchini has a lot of water when cooked, salting it takes out a lot of moisture. After 10 minutes, blot excess moisture with a paper towel.

On a gas grill or grill pan, grill zucchini on each side, until cooked, about 1-2 minutes per side. Place on paper towels to soak any excess moisture.

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a medium bowl mix ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese and egg. Stir well.

In a 9x12 casserole spread some sauce on the bottom and layer the zucchini to cover. Then place some of the ricotta cheese mixture, then top with the mozzarella cheese and repeat the process until all your ingredients are used up. Top with sauce and mozzarella and cover with foil.

Bake 45 minutes covered at 375°, then uncovered 15 minutes. Let stand about 5 - 10 minutes before serving.

Turkey Burger

This was actually really tasty too!!  AND because we didn't use a bun, we got to save the starch to go with sweet potato fries on the side!!  YUMMY!

Ingredients:
1lb lean ground turkey
1/4 cup salsa
1/2 cup romaine
1/4 medium avocado
1 medium tomato

Combine turkey and salsa in a bowl, mix well and form into patties.

Bake or grill patty -- then place lettuce on serving plate - top with patty, avocado, and tomato.

Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin

1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp minced garlic

Clean Eating - 21 Day Fix

CLEAN EATING!  I wanted something that was a lifestyle change, worked for my whole family, and wasn't uber time consuming (since we all know I don't sleep much as it is hehe).  I've talked to a lot of people who have tried lots of different things - and this felt the most "Lisa" like.  The whole concept is basically portion control and healthy eating (meaning not processed foods).  I will be honest and say I'm still a bit overwhelmed by my lack of nutrition knowledge BUT I'm very motivated to figure it out as I want to be here for my boys for a very long time...I need to understand what I'm putting into my body and what my body needs....cause apparently cheezits and diet coke are not it :)

Clean eating isn't really a "diet" you follow - but more of getting certain food groups in throughout the day based off your weight.

You use these colored handy tupperware containers (but you could totally do this on your own) to figure out how much of each group goes into each meal and plan out your whole day.  Below is the break out of size of colored containers.  Tablespoons is for oils and nut butters (no butter, no salt)

**TIPS**
-Eat your Yellow and Purple before 6pm
-NO POP (not even diet...)
-NO BEER / ALCHIE - BUT you can have 1 glass of wine if you are willing to substitute a yellow.
-You can have coffee / tea
-Drink 1/2 your body weight in water per day
-FREEBIES (listed in white above): Put as much as you want on food!

Here is our menu for the first week!!  Every time you see Shakeology - Ross just has a protein portion instead -- usually oatmeal cause it's quick and easy in the morning.
