Grilled Spicy Zucchini Meal Prep Sunday

I really wanted to create these grilled zucchini roll ups which had ricotta cheese in them, but my zucchini's had way to many seeds to really get a good roll on. When I knew the roll ups were not going to work I knew I could make something even more amazing. The great thing about this recipe is that is can be molded and shaped by you anyway you desire.

Recipe:

Ingredients:
One Black Zucchini
One can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies
Ricotta cheese

Cut zucchini in long thin strips. Grill them on a grill or a george foreman. Cut into slices and place into bowls/plastic containers. Add two scoops of Tomatoes and chilies mix to containers. Add about 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese. Eat chilled or warm. I actually eat them both ways!

Caution: this will burn your mouth!

Skin Healthy Immunie Boosting Smoothie

Yesterday one of my co-workers came in sick and droopy, so I had to make a great smoothie that would combat whatever she left behind in my office. I don't need some stinkin' virus in this body. A clove of garlic was added to give a boost to my immune system. I am a fan of adding garlic or lemons to my smoothies.

What are some weird or unusual food that you mix in your smoothies?

I need something sweet and good for my body

I have been feening for something sweet lately and looking at making good for the good alternatives. Today has to be one of the best sweet foods I have made in a while besides those amazing energy balls. This was super easy to make as well. Are you ready for your sweet taste buds to be satisfied?

Easy Now Sweetie: 

1 1/3 cups of halved strawberries
1 1/2 tablespoon of ricotta cheese
and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup

Cut the strawberries in half as stated above. Place into a container. Then add the ricotta cheese and maple syrup. I shake the container gentle when the lid was on to mix the ingredients. That's it. Enjoy!

Candy's Ham and Green Bean Soup

This is a super easy soup to make when you have no time or energy.

There is a lot of about's when it comes to measurements for this recipe. Why you ask? Well I add what I like and if I like it a lot (ahem GARLIC), I will add a lot of it. That's why I love this recipe it can be tweaked just for your taste buds!

 

Ingredients:

About 3 cups of cup fresh green beans
2 cans of low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups of water
about 1 1/2 cups of Quinoa noodles
About 1 cup of roughly chopped onions
5 huge garlic gloves chopped
About 2 1/2 cups of chopped ham
Salt and Pepper for taste
Spinach and Herb mix from Tastefully Simple

Boil the water and chicken broth. Once boiling lower to a simmer and add the quinoa noodles. While the noodles are cooking chop up the onion, green beans, ham, and garlic. Rinse off mushrooms. Once the noodles are 'al dente' (soft and hard at the same time) add the chopped and rinsed goodies to the soup. Cook on simmer for about 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and tastefully simple's spinach and herb mix. Spoon into a bowl and ENJOY! So easy your husband can do it.


 

Meal Prep Sunday 15 Apr 13

 

On Saturday I was sitting cruising facebook trying to decide how much my body wanted to do since it was hit hard with a cold or as my co-worker likes to call it: The Bionic Plague. I was really deciding to take a long hard nap when my phone rang. Picked up that damn phone to find out that the Cooking Class I signed up for started and I was tardy. So I brushed my teeth and headed out the door sickness and all. Heck, I paid twenty dollars to get my cooking on. Boy, am I glad I went because one of the recipes we learned because my Meal Prep for the whole week. It is called 'Salad in a Jar' and the recipe is by  Kelly Wisner. Who is an amazing woman. She is so passionate about food and the bees that we get along quite well. If you haven't had a chance to do any of the classes then let me tell you, you are missing out. Check them out here. You won't be disappointed and you will learn how to cook vegan and raw foods!

 

 

Salad in a Jar
by Kelly Wisner

Dressing Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Tahini Butter (or any nut butter)
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinager
1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
1/2 tablespoon of Soy Sauce (next I will be using Miso)
Ginger to taste

Salad Ingredients:
Snap Peas
Tomatoes
Beans
Red Pepper
Red Onion
Feta Cheese

Mix all the dressing ingredients in a blender. Chop all the veggies or fruits that you want in your salad. I actually chopped up all the ingredients listed in the salad ingredients section. Then leave over night in the fridge or use that day. Just pour over some greens and you have a meal fit for a Green Goddess!

HINT: Freeze your ginger and then just grate it. It comes out like powder and stays fresher longer.



 

Meal Prep Sunday

I had to do an easy meal prep on Sunday. I really had limited time with drills this weekend and loads of orders to process out from my small cosmetics business. I had to think of something till about Thursday. I decided to make a soup and salad combo for  the week!

I heated the stove and started to boil water for eggs. I love me some hard boiled eggs in my salad or mixed with greek yogurt and mustard on a tortilla wrap.

While I waited for the eggs to boil for 30 minutes I then proceeded to chop up zucchini and garlic.

 I started my other burner to make some quinoa quick. Once the quinoa was cooked. I placed the zucchini, garlic, and quinoa into little plastic 'soup bowls'.

 

Here is the quick and easy part of the meal prep. I didn't make the soup base by hand instead I whipped out my trusty Trader's Joe soup in a box mix. I only have a few left since Trader Joes is about a 2 hour drive away from where I currently live.

 

I poured the soup into the little 'soup bowls' I had and BAM I have soup for the next 4 days!

 

 

Now that is super fast meal prepping for the about 4 days. I will figure out what I will do for the 5th day of work.

 

I also cut the eggs and place them in my salad with sesame seeds and sweet pepper and a side of mangoes. I actually can't wait to eat lunch today!
