Stuffed Cube Steak

This was amazing and super easy to make! I used goat cheese instead of cream cheese, which was delicious. I also didn't add the sun-dried tomato or vinegar. 

The salad is spinach with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a dash of Parmesan cheese. The sweet potato is cooked in the oven. I clean the sweet potato, rub with coconut oil, set on baking sheet and cook at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour. Finish with a little grass fed better on top.

I saw this on a church bulletin and loved it! Even this can be applied to our health and fitness. Rememeber, no journey is supposed to be easy. Progress is still progress, no matter how small it is! :-)

I'm still here!

Hey everyone!

So sorry I've been MIA recently! But there is good news... my husband and I just moved back to his home town and my place of work! We are so thrilled and I am so proud of him.

We have been preparing, packing, and moving for the past 3 weeks! Blogging has been very difficult, especially since I had no internet until three days ago.

I promise there are many QBG's,  JAG's, recipes, inspiration, and more to come!

STAY TUNED!

Here is a little funny for your hump day:

Deliciousness

I had no idea what to make the other night. So I decided to throw these three items together: onion, zucchini, and Chicken meatballs. I have one word to describe this dish... AMAZING!! If any of you know me personally, you will know exactly how I say the word too. I love this word, AMAZING... it just feels so good and allows me to speak with such conviction:-)

This meal was cheap, simple, delicious, easy, and nutritious!

This was my first time making Zucchini noodles, and boy am I hooked on them. I used a mandolin and changed out the flat head for the cheese grater and shredded it down lengthwise to create a longer "noodle." There is a machine you can get to actually create a noodle out of veggies, but this worked just as well. They probably turn out thinner like this, but I'm not that picky.

I'm sure you are just itching to get the scoop on how I made this amazing meal, so here you go!

What you will need:
1 yellow or sweet onion (I love the sweet onions or Vidalia)
1 package aidells Chicken Meatball Caramelized Onion
1 TBS Kerygolds Butter (any grass fed butter)
2 large Zucchini
Pinch of salt
Parsley and Parmesan to taste

The steps you will need to make the meal:

• Peel and slice onion
• Melt butter in large saucepan and add onion
• Caramelize the onion
• While the onion is caramelizing, shred your two zucchini (make sure you wash it first)
• Place your shredded zucchini in a microwavable bowl with a little water and salt in the bottom of it
• Microwave Zucchini for about 3 minutes and drain once it's steamed all the way through*
• When the onions are almost caramelized, add the chicken meatballs
• Cook the meatballs in the onion for about 10 minutes, get them nice and caramelized to add tons of flavor to the chicken
• Put about 1 cup of zucchini in a bowl, add a couple meatballs with onion, top with parsley and Parmesan and consume!

* I don't endorse using the microwave, but it was my first time steaming the zucchini and this is how a friend told me to try it first. Next time I will not use the microwave and steam it properly to keep all the nutrition:-)

I hope all of you enjoy this meal as much as I did, even my husband loved it! Smile, eat well, and keep moving!

  

JAG - aka "Just A Goodie"

So I had a great work out yesterday! SO good that I busted some blood vessels on my ring finger from my wedding band;-) Some of you already call me crazy for all my work outs, but I love every second of it. It feels so good to challenge yourself and sweat it out a little.

This is called my JAG work out. JAG stands for Just A Goodie:-) JAG's are usually done in the gym and require equipment and about an hour or so. They also require a little more rest in between exercises because you are lifting heavier. There is a surprise at the end, ok I'll tell you... you end the work out with a butt whooping interval session that kills the core! Look up any exercises you don't know on google or ask me! 

Hope y'all enjoy and have a fantastic end of the week! Sweat hard and play hard:-)
