21 Day Fix Sweet Potato & Buffalo Chicken Casserole

I tried this one out earlier this week and it was delicious!  And, it fits perfectly with the 21 Day Fix -- win, win!

It is a great casserole recipe, that is healthy and not filled with store-bought cream soups.  It is, however, just as convenient.  Cut up your vegetables and chicken the night before and then just pop this into the oven when you get home in the evening!

21 Day Fix Sweet Potato & Buffalo Chicken Casserole

• 1/4 cup olive or melted coconut oil
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and cut into pieces

Add the sweet potatoes and chicken, and stir to coat.  Empty the bowl into a casserole dish.

Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.

Add the green onions and bacon to the dish, and place back in the oven for another 5 minutes to let the flavors combine.

(For extra vegetables, feel free to add cut onions and bell peppers to the dish!)

21 Day Fix Baked Shrimp Fajitas

Using a baking dish for roasting an entire meal is a one-pot meal reinvented.  Nothing adds flavor to meat and veggies like oven-roasting.

 

These fajitas would make an easy and quick weeknight meal, especially if you do the prep work (cutting and slicing) ahead of time! 

21 Day Fix Baked Shrimp Fajitas

Baked Shrimp Fajitas

SEASONING

• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• ½ Tbsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp cumin
• ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ Tbsp corn starch

FAJITAS

• 2 small (or 1 lg.) onion

• 1 lb. raw shrimp
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

• 8 (6-inch) tortillas (optional)

Cut the onion and bell peppers into ¼ to ½ inch wide strips. Place them in a large 9×13 inch casserole dish.

 

Sprinkle the seasoning over the vegetables. Drizzle the olive oil over everything and then use your hands to toss the ingredients until everything is well coated in oil and seasoning. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring once half way through.

 

Add shrimp to baking dish and stir thoroughly.  Cook for an additional 15 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through and pink.

 

Squeeze the juice from half of the lime over top of the shrimp and vegetables after it comes out of the oven.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos - Only 4 Ingredients!

Many of our kids are going back to school!  That means, busy-ness, homework, after-school activities, and sports.  Schedules can get a little crazy .... at least in our house. 

This recipe is perfect for those busy nights when you don't want to stand in the kitchen before or after those activities.  Put everything into the slow-cooker earlier in the day, and everyone can eat dinner as they are able. 

AND .....

Four simple ingredients.  That's all!

That's all you need to create these slow-cooker chicken tacos:  chicken, salsa, garlic, and Mexican hot sauce. 

And, for extra-healthy measure, you can serve this inside of lettuce cups instead of corn taco shells. 

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos - Only 4 Ingredients!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos - Only 4 Ingredients!

3 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup Mexican chili sauce (like Cholula or Valentina)
2 cups salsa
2 tbsp. chopped garlic

Very simple!  Place all four ingredients into your slow-cooker.  Let it cook for about 6-8 hours on low heat.  After it cooks, remove the chicken from the slow-cooker and shred it with two forks (or using a standing mixer).  Add the chicken back to the slow-cooker and add more Mexican sauce to your taste.

You may also garnish with a little fresh cilantro if you desire.  Enjoy!

(21 Day Fixers:  Measure out your RED CONTAINER for the chicken.  You may also count 1/2 of a purple for the salsa.)

Balsamic Flank Steak Marinade - 21 Day Fix Approved!

A wonderful flank steak on the grill recipe I invented that everyone in the family just loves!  My kids think this is great, and it doesn't take long to grill. This also works great when sliced and used for fajitas.

And, the sweetness?  How do you add some sweetness without adding unhealthy sugar?

Honey, of course. It's nature's pure, unprocessed sugar supply, and along with balsamic vinegar it contributes just the slightest hint of sweet to a grilled steak. You've got heart-healthy garlic and olive oil in this one, too, as well as fresh rosemary.

Balsamic Flank Steak Marinade - 21 Day Fix Approved!

To create a rosemary-honey-balsamic marinade, whisk together:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary needles
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (fresh is best)

Marinate steak in this mixture for up to 24 hours before grilling for a sweet-tangy feast.

Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

Oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the grill, and discard the marinade. Grill meat for 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.


(21 Day Fixers:  Measure out your steak in red container, and count marinade as approximately 1 tsp. and 1 orange.)

Weekly Meal Plan: July 6-12th -- WHY Meal-Planning Works!

Weekly Meal Plan:  July 6-12th -- WHY Meal-Planning Works!

Meal planning will streamline evenings in the home.

Parents are saved money, time, and mounds of frustration because they know what the brood’s having for dinner, days ahead of time. There’s no scrambling in the kitchen or supermarket, since both shopping and cooking are refined practically to a science. Kids (sometimes) get to have a say in what they eat, too, which makes the whole thing a family activity rather than merely a parental chore.

All in all, it’s a fantastic strategy. Even better, EVERYBODY can use it.

Weekly Meal Plan:  July 6-12th

Monday:  Turkey Taco Quinoa Bake                        

Tuesday:  Baked Kid-Friendly Chicken Tenders                  

Wednesday:  Greek Salad with Feta & Grilled Flank Steak                            

Thursday:  Grilled Chicken Sausage & Vegetables                             

Friday:  Leftovers                            

Saturday:  Fend-For-Yourself

Sunday:  Creamy Slow-Cooker Mexican-Chicken               

ALL of these dinners are 21-Day Fix compliant.  The rest of my meals are composed of:

• Shakeology
• Eggs and vegetables
• Fruits and vegetables
• Almonds and cashews
• Greek yogurt
• And, leftovers!

ALL THE BEST,

Weekly Meal Plan: June 29 - July 5th AND Tips to Keep YOUR Family on Track This Week!

Tips to keep YOUR family on track this week:

• Do your best to plan out your meals for the week and prepare as much as possible, so you can whip up a healthy family sized meal in the time it would take to go out and get some fast food. It might sound like a daunting task, but spending 15 minutes on weekends creating a meal plan is the best thing you can do. It will eventually become part of your routine.
• Replace instead of restrict.  Keep a large supply of healthy fruits. Be sure that your healthy options are visible. You’re much more likely to grab a snack that’s already out rather than go to the cupboard and grab something.  Find fruits and vegetables with strong flavor.
• Proper portioning. Food portions in United States are much larger than they need to be. By slowly working your way back to an appropriate size — think only one piece of chicken and a helping of steamed vegetables instead of two or three — your body can adjust gradually to the newer and healthier eating patterns.
• Support.  It’s best when a family unit eats healthy together, but that can sometimes be impractical. If not everyone can partake, it’s important that they are still supportive. Engage the whole family when making your weekly grocery and meal list so that everyone has a say in what they’re eating. Having everyone making decisions will vary the meals you’re having, reducing boredom and repetition.

Grilled marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, red pepper…what’s not to love?

Kabobs just scream summer to me. They are something my family loves in the summertime. We thread on a variety of veggies, sometimes potatoes, and a meat of some sort.

Grilled marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, red pepper…what’s not to love?  For full flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before threading it on skewers with pineapple chunks and red peppers.

Chicken, Pineapple, and Red Pepper Kabobs

Ingredients

• 8 bamboo skewers
• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
• 1/2 cup Coconut Aminos (soy sauce substitute)
• 8 tsp. local natural honey
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 4 purple containers of fresh pineapple chunks
• 4 red bell peppers, cut into 1" chunks             

Soak bamboo skewers in water to cover for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-inch pieces; place in resealable food-storage plastic bag or container. Add next three ingredients; seal bag and shake gently to mix.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to marinate.                     

 

Heat gas or charcoal grill.

 

Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Thread chicken, pineapple chunks and red pepper pieces onto bamboo skewers in whatever order you wish, dividing evenly among skewers.

 

Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve immediately.

(21 Day Fixers:  2 kabobs count as -- 1 red, 1 purple, 1 green, and 2 tsp.)

It goes to show you that food | nutrition | diet are SO key.  SO KEY!

Let's talk about goal-setting!

Before I get to this week's meal plan, let's talk just a little bit about goal-setting.

Goals are powerful, concrete things that keep you on track – whether it's creating a food plan or walking 3 times a week with a friend, these small things provide you with tangible steps that lead to your healthy weight.

And ALWAYS take the time to write those goals down. It makes them real and keeps them in the forefront of your mind, making them much easier to reach

That being said, writing down our weekly meals is a big part of my health and fitness goals each week.  So, here is this week's plan!

Chicken Stir-Fry with Chinese Broccoli

Get all your foods groups in one delicious, tangy bowl full of flavor! 

This is a dinner that is quick and easy to prepare on any given weeknight.

A high-heat method of searing meats and vegetables, stir-frying is usually associated with Asian cooking, but you can use plenty of other flavors in a stir-fry as well. Stir-fries are fast, use little oil and are loaded of vegetables—three excellent reasons to master this method and make a stir-fry part of your weekly repertoire.

And, since I've discovered Flavor God seasonings, it takes the guesswork out of using many different spices.  I love that they are all-natural, low-sodium, and contain no MSG.

*Because stir-frying is fast, it's best to have the ingredients prepped prior to cooking.

21 Day Fix - Chicken Stir-Fry with Chinese Broccoli

(This recipe works well with chicken, beef and pork.)

Chicken Stir-Fry with Chinese Broccoli

Ingredients

• 4 small skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch cubes
• 1 bunch, Chinese Broccoli, cleaned, hard stems removed, leaves torn (I used 4 green containers worth)
• 1 Tbsp. fresh garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
• 1 Tbsp. fresh scallions, sliced into thin rounds
• Sea salt, to taste
• 2  Tbsp. coconut aminos, or soy sauce
• 1.5 Tbsp. coconut oil
• Flavor God "Everything" seasoning, as needed
• Flavor God "Garlic" seasoning, as needed
• Brown basmati rice

Cook rice as desired.

In the last 10 minutes before the rice is done, heat a wok or sauté pan on high heat for 1 minute.  Add half of your coconut oil, and melt it over bottom of pan.

Add Chinese Broccoli leaves. Stir-fry for 3 minutes.  Add coconut aminos and 1/4 tsp. Flavor God garlic seasoning. Stir-fry for 1 minute and reserve in a bowl.

Clean pan and return it to high heat for 1 minute.

Season chicken by sprinkling lightly with sea salt, Flavor God Garlic and Everything Seasoning.

Melt remaining coconut oil in the pan and let pan get hot.  Add chicken to pan and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add minced garlic, ginger, and scallions to the pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until chicken is browned and internal temperature is 165 degrees.
I also added some red pepper flakes for heat.  And, I threw in some mushrooms, as we had them here.  You could use just about any vegetable here.

Enjoy!
