Healthy Hump Day Recipe

I've been guilty of ignoring my blog which makes me sad so I'm finally posting something and it just so happens to be what I'm munching on right now. Spicy Chicken in Tomato Sauce. Not impressed yet? You will be!

What You'll need:
3 Chicken Breasts
1 Med Onion
1 Red Pepper
Jar of Francesco Rinaldi TO BE Healthy Spicy Marinara (60cals per 1/2c, 1.9g Fat, 10g Carbs, 1.9g Fiber, 5g sugar, 2g protein)

In a large pot saute olive oil and one whole sliced medium onion on HIGH. Once the onions have become translucent, add cubed seasoned chicken (season with garlic, paprika, onion powder, parsley and minced garlic). Cook on high for 5 minutes, add sliced red pepper (let that cook for another two minutes). Add jar of tomato sauce, cover, and cook for an hr. Serve with rice or whole wheat pasta :) Super Simple & Super Moist!

Jalapeño Turkey Sliders

It's not everyday I get this excited about 99% lean ground turkey but I am getting the feeling that this might be a daily meal. IT IS THAT GOOD.

Is Yogurt Healthy?

If you were to ask a random individual if a 100 calorie yogurt (you know, the fun flavors, the ones that have little chunks of strawberries, blueberries, ect...) they would probably say absolutely!.... right? WRONG!! Just because it is only 100 calories and contains visible pieces of "fruit" doesn't mean its actually good for you. Skip the corn syrup and artificial sweetners and  opt for plain greek yogurt (brands like Chobani or Fage) and mix in your own fruit, honey, nut or even ground flax.

Here's what works for me:

I buy a frozen bag of mixed berries and take out 1/2c to bring with work... by the time I'm ready to mix it into my greek yogurt, the berries have melted (they are nice and cold) Tastes just like a dessert!
