Chicken Spinach Crock Pot Meal

1/5/15

This meal is probably one of the easiest meals you will ever make!!


I wanted to do a weeks worth of crock pot meals, because I really dont like cooking. I figured there has to be other women out there who really dont like to cook either, or maybe they just dont have enough time in their day to make healthy, delicious meals.
So if this sounds like you, keep reading because this weeks meals are for YOU!!!


Ingredients:

  • 1 piece of boneless chicken breast, per person in your family. (We cooked for 4 people, so there were 4 pieces of chicken.
  • 1 bag of frozen spinach 
  • 1 jar of clean marinara sauce (READ the ingredients, if you cant pronounce the ingredients, put it back on the shelf, find a marinara sauce that you can pronounce all the ingredients)
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes (we used 2 cans because we really like tomatoes)

Directions:

Put the 4 ingredients into a 5 quart crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours. 


***I am in love with hot spicy things! So to add a little flavor, I put crushed red peppers on top of mine!!!

EAT & ENJOY!! 







How to make Reese's?

11/10/14

Who doesnt like Reese's? 

I know that when they are in my house they get eaten so quickly.

So I decided to make a healthy version of Reese's, this way when I eat one, I dont feel guilty.

Ohh and did I mention, you need 4 ingredients and it takes less that 10 minutes to make!!

What you need:
2 tbsp Coconut oil
4 tbsp Chocolate Shakeology
2 tbsp PB2
2 tsp water


Step 1:
Heat up coconut oil for 30 seconds in the microwave.



Step 2:
Add in your Shakeology and stir.



Step 3:
Mix your PB2 and water.



Step 4:
Poor Shakeology mixture into the bottom of cupcake wrappers (we only had normal cupcake wrappers, but when you make this yourself, get the mini wrappers).
Poor some of your peanut butter mixture.
Lastly, finish with your top layer of Shakeology mixture.

Step 5:
Put them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!!!


So I made the Shakeology Reese's and of course wanted to try them to give you my honest review of how they turned out.

I put way too much chocolate in them. Ya know how normal Reese's have more Peanut Butter than they do chocolate? Well mine were opposite. So next time I need to change that. If you like a lot of chocolate, it might not bother you as much, but for me... I am not a chocolate LOVER.

Second--- I am a PEANUT BUTTER FREAK, and I didnt the PB2 was strong enough, you could taste it, but it was really a faint taste. So the next time I make them, I am going to use almond butter instead!!

I think I am going to make these sometime this week with the changes I think will help!!
**I am on the hunt for the mini cupcake wrappers, so let me know if you find any!!


Quick Chili Recipe

10/22/14

This recipe is healthy, quick, easy and not to mention SUPER CHEAP!!!!

I know I cant be the only out there who HATES to cook. It wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have to clean up after I cook. Ya know what I mean.

So... when I do cook, I make it quick, easy, and use the least amount of pots and pans as possible!

::Okay so heres what you need, 5 ingredients. THATS IT!!!::

- 1 package of turkey burger
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 can of kidney beans
- 1 can of crushed/diced tomatoes
- 1 pack of chili seasoning



First get one large pot, put your turkey burger in the pot and start browning your turkey. 

(Ew raw meat grosses me out)
Next put in your chili seasoning. I like that it soaks into the meat and gives it a lot of flavor.

(Someday I would like to start making my own seasoning, but for now, I make sure to get the 30% less sodium)

Next I mix in my crushed/diced tomatoes and the kidney beans. 


















(I personally like to add diced tomatoes instead of the crushed. I like thicker chili but my sister likes it more thin and soup like. And I like to add pinto beans and black beans)

Lastly, I add in the tomato sauce.


I like to let it cook for 15-20 minutes just so that all the ingredients mix together and the for the flavor!!

BUT

If you are impatient and cant let it cook for 20 minutes - crank up that heat and let it cook for 5 minutes and eat!!!

I like to add one more thing to my personal bowl and that is CRUSHED RED PEPPER, YUM!!!


The meal costs around $10 and feed over 4 people and there are still left overs for the next day!!
