Mock Chipotle Chicken Rice Bowls

I love Chipotle - but my waistline and new budget don't... I know you can order Chipotle to be fairly
healthy, but it is still salty and I can never seem no to chips and cheese! So to solve this problem, this recipe was born!

What you need:

• 4 Chicken Breasts
• 3 Colored Peppers, sliced
• 1 Large Red Onion, sliced
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Jar Salsa
• 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 bag of frozen corn
• 1 cup of shredded mozerrella cheese (optional)
• Fresh Cilantro
• Garlic Powder
• 2 cups of Brown Rice, cooked per package instructions

What you need to do:

1. Preheat over to 400.
2. Line a large baking sheet with foil
3. Place the chicken, peppers, and onions on the baking sheet and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of oil.
4. Sprinkle garlic powder to both sides of chicken.
5. Lightly salt and pepper the peppers and onions, tossing to coat.
6. Top each of the chicken breasts with salsa
7. Bake for 25 min.
8. Rest chicken for 10 minutes. 
9. Slice chicken into strips
10. Add a base of brown rice to 4 storage containers. 
11. Top each with a scoop of black beans, corn, salsa, cheese, cooked onions and peppers, and sliced chicken.
12. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
13. Enjoy.
14. Store leftovers for up to 4 days.

All - Access Pass

Wow, almost 3 months without a blog entry - sorry... life has been tough - 2016 was tough... And in the mess, I lost track of so much of myself, my goals, me. And part of me felt like it was all a waste, until I took a step back and saw all the lessons. So I'm on a mission - get back to me twenty-seventeen!

I started this year at the peak of my fitness, and over the middle and late part of the year I needed to
take a step back; pursue low impact, embrace yoga. And the great thing about Beachbody, is that I had that option at my finger tips. My goal of 2017 is to regain my strength and progressively work my way in fitness level. And again, Beachbody will be able to change as my needs change. That has been the single blessing of On-Demand - I have access to countless workouts at varying fitness levels.

I am thrilled to announce that Beachbody On Demand is launching an All-Access Pass. This annual pass will come with the Portion Fix, a 30 Day Supply of Shakeology, and 12 months of Beachbody On Demand. But not just Beachbody On Demand, a completely UNLOCKED version! That's right all the programs unlocked and ready for you try out, mix and match, or progressive from one program to the next! All our famous programs - 21 Days Fix, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Cize, Country Heat, Insanity, T25, EVERYTHING! Plus, ANY new workout program launched in 2017!

So this year, as your needs change, as your fitness level progresses, or maybe when you need to take a step back because of surgery, pregnancy or whatever 2017 throws at you - you will have everything you need to maintain your 2017 New Years goals and what I am hoping is a new lifestyle.

No matter where you are starting, what your goals are, I am here to support you all the way through... Start to finish, 2017 we are ready.

3 Week Yoga Retreat

I have been loving yoga lately. The strength I gain - physically and mentally. I have learned so much
about myself on the yoga mat. I have been combining yoga with personal development on learning about true happiness - how to gain it, how to spread it, how to teach it to my daughters.

I am excited to provide you with a 3 week group on what I have learned on and off the mat. This group will be following the 3 Week Yoga Retreat workout program by Beachbody (ask me how you can gain access to it for free!). I will be teaching you about clean eating, fall crockpot recipes, and tools on how to gain happiness in your daily life.

So I know what you are thinking - yoga, is it really for me?

I get it, I was initially turned off and intimitated by yoga... so let me tell you a little more about this amazing new program.

What is 3 Week Yoga Retreat? 

•  Designed for yoga beginners and those who always wanted to try yoga, but were intimidated or didn’t know where to start. 
•  You’ll learn the basics in 21 classes, one per day for 3 weeks. Each one is 30 minutes or less, taught by one of four Yoga Experts.
•  We paid special attention to instruction and guidance so you know you are doing it right. Need proof? In test groups, we placed participants behind a screen to make sure our guidance was so crystal clear, you could do it successfully, even without seeing the poses. 
•  There are no candles, no chanting, no OMs. Just incredible, simple classes with no distractions, guided with precise detail. 

Who is this program for?

•  Yoga beginners. 
•  Anyone who always wanted to try yoga but didn’t know where to start. 
•  People who are looking to complement their current fitness programs and improve flexibility, reduce stress, and achieve better balance in their life overall. 
•  People who want to build a proper yoga foundation so they can feel confident in any yoga class. 

What makes this program different?

•  Learn yoga from square one, step-by-step, move-by-move. 
•  Nothing new-agey, nothing to be intimidated by, and no judgment. 
•  This is a perfectly crafted 3-week program that gives you total immersion and understanding of the fundamentals of yoga, resulting in a solid yoga foundation. 
•  Each class is taught by one of four Yoga Experts who have many years’ experience.

The Nutty Mermaid

Since the girls and I have a hard time getting in all of our veggies, I have been sneaking them in my shakes! And when they ask why it is green - I simply tell them it is a mermaid shake with seaweed (aka spinach!) - and they can't tell the difference!

Great way to get a few extra vitamins in with my superfoods before germy school season!

Clean Beef Stroganoff

Rainy day, and ready for some fall comfort food - but not ready for the 'comfort food' pounds... so I decided I would start experimenting with my family favorite comfort foods and making them healthy or at least healthier! First on our list, clean Beef Stroganoff - simple modifications made this just as tasty and a lot fewer calories!

• 2/3 cups of water
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt
• salt/pepper
• egg noodles (ccoked as per package instructions)

What you need to do:

1. In a large skillet, heat up EVOO (just enough to coat the pan)
2. Toss beef tips in whole wheat flour until evenly coated. (discard extra flour)
3. Add beef tips to skillet.
4. Evenly brown.
5. Place browned beef tips in a large pot.
6. In the same skillet, re-oil and heat.
7. Cook and lightly brown onion and mushroom.
8. Add onions and mushrooms to large pot with the beef. 
9. Add water, salt and pepper.
10. Cover and simmer on LO for 2 hours.
11. Before serving, add greek yogurt.
12. Serve over egg noodles
13. Enjoy!
