Big & Tasty Power Infused Omelet

September 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This thing was better than I could have imagined as I was digging the ingredients out of the fridge! I just finished my morning round through Insanity Asylum (Day 23 of the P90X workout / Asylum workout hybrid) and after my Recovery Formula I was still huuuungry. So I made this thing on the fly though I must say that this omelet is partially inspired by the recipe found in the Asylum nutrition guide.

Anyway, I am sure you want to know what is in this thing that made it so tasty! Keep in mind, this is NOT low fat and you may want to modify to your personal liking. I share these recipes to give you easy meal ideas so that you can kick fast food and processed garbage. Modify as you see fit.

Big & Tasty Power Infused Omelet Recipe

 

  • 3 Whole eggs w/ approx 2 tablespoons added and beaten
  • 1 Organic carrot shredded with a peeler
  • 1/2 Vine ripe tomato sliced into chunks
  • 2 Al Fresco all natural sausage (1 apple maple / 1 blueberry)
  • Approx. 2 Tablespoons feta cheese
  • Approx. 2 teaspoons pure coconut oil to grease the pan

 

Prep all the ingredients and cut into your desired shapes and sizes.

For those that have a hard time boiling water I will share 1 tip to help you create the perfect omelet. Keep the heat set at low! It’s not a race to see how fast you can burn your eggs. Preheat the pan for approx. 1 minute at medium-low to low (depending on your stove top), add the oil (I prefer coconut oil), and add eggs mentioned above (w/ approx. 2 tablespoons water added and beaten).

Begin to sprinkles the carrots, tomato, sausage, and feta all around the egg in the pan. Cook until the edges appear solid. A good test is to slide the spatula down the side and under the omelet to see if it lifts up together or falls apart. Once the eggs are semi solid, slide the spatula under and fold the omelet in half. Cook for another 60 seconds or so at low or until the eggs are cooked through. Slide onto a plate and you are ready to eat!

Sweet & Tangy Apple, Feta, & Sausage Salad | Recipes

September 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

To those who say they don’t know how to make healthy food and/or it’s to expensive to eat healthy, stop kidding yourself! Plain and simple, that an excuse NOT to try. This sweet and tangy salad was made from a random selection of ingredients I had in my fridge from a previous shopping trip. Nothing crazy and/or special here; this is simply a great tasting salad with a healthy balance of ingredients.

Of course I have more of a sweet tooth and I freakn love FLAVOR so with that said, I also created an easy and tasty dressing which added to the “sweet & tangy” which I will share below.

Sweet & Tangy Apple, Feta, & Sausage Salad

 

  • Approx. 2 cups organic mixed greens (pretty much a big handful)
  • 1/2 Honeycrisp (my favorite variety) apple sliced into chunks
  • 1/2 Vine ripe tomato sliced into chunks
  • 1 medium organic carrot sliced into chunks
  • Approx. 1-2 Tablespoons of Whole Feta
  • 2 Al Fresco brand Sausage heated in the toaster oven (1 Apple Maple & 1 Blueberry)

The dressing was made from…

  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Approx. 1 tsp honey

Stirred together in a cup and then spooned on the salad as you see in the picture above… Viola!

Nutty Pecan, Cinnamon, & Brown Sugar Pancakes | Recipes

September 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Talk about tasty! So these things are not quite “primal” since they do contain some added sugar and flour but with a few modifications these sweet succulent pancakes will curb any pancake craving! Actually, I don’t often have pancakes but every once in awhile it’s nice to indulge. I pulled this recipe out of my “Better Holmes – New Cook Book” and modified it to fit more into my nutritional needs. Keep in mind that any ingredients with an asterisk “*” have approximated measurements.

Nutty Pecan, Cinnamon, & Brown Sugar Pancakes

 

  • 2/3 C Ground Pecan Meal
  • 1/3 C Unbleached Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • *1 1/2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
  • *Dash salt (maybe 1/8 teaspoon)
  • *1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Whisk all dry ingredients together and add…

  • 2 Eggs Beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons oil (I used organic butter)
  • *1/2 C Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

Pre heat a pan set around Medium-Low. This will of course vary based on your stove top so you may need to adjust the temperature as needed. Blend the dry ingredients together first ( I use a whisk to get it all mixed together). Then add the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until the ingredients are mixed well but some chunks are still visible. Basically, just fold everything together and that’s that.

The batter should be runny but not water like. It should have a thick texture but also should pour out and spread evenly on the pan. This recipe tends to make 3 large sized pancakes as pictured above. Though, you can make bigger or smaller sizes depending on your liking.

Clean Eating (mostly) Organic Salad

This is an easy to make and balanced salad. The chicken we pre cooked the night before and marinated in fresh squeezed lemon juice with minced garlic and a garlic chili sauce. I will list exactly the portions I used in this salad though keep in mind, in retrospect, this was a very large portion. Consider reducing the ingredients based on your own liking.

The ingredients list is as follows:

  • Approx. 2 cups mixed organic greens
  • 1 organic carrot cut into strips
  • 1/4 C organic almonds
  • 1/4 fresh FL avocado
  • Approx. 3 Tablespoons feta cheese
  • 1/4 C canned organic black beans
  • 1/4 cooked chicken breast sliced (refer above for chicken recipe)
  • Fresh ground Himalayan salt and pepper corn to taste

- For presentation I placed everything on the plate as seen in the photo above. You may toss the salad if you prefer to get an even spread of all the ingredients. Enjoy!
