Recipes

Hello again, Everyone!  Thanks again for keeping up with our blog, checking in on the progress of my wardrobe capsule, and reading the stories and process of how Michael and I changed our lives for the healthier!  The outpouring of love and positive comments has been overwhelming.  People have said that we're great motivation and inspiration.  It's so strange for me to think of us that way.  We were just unhappy with where we were, so we made changes to make things different.  Simple as that.  :)  Glad we've had a positive influence on others.

Several people have asked me for specific recipes that we use.  I put together a list of some of our favorites, plus the websites I found them on.  I hope this gets you started with some healthy recipes to try.  When I remember to do so, I'll also try to write posts about the different meals I'm fixing along the way.  But for now, here are some great ones!

Breakfasts:
Huevos Rancheros Tacos
Peanut Butter Breakfast Pudding
Blueberry, Lemon, Maple Oatmeal Muffins
Skinny Banana French Toast Bake
Broccoli and Sun-dried Tomato Quiche
Country Breakfast Bowls
Tomato Avocado Melt
Asparagus Goat Cheese and Cherry Tomato Breakfast Tart
Oatmeal Pancakes

As I come across other great breakfast recipes (or makes my own, like my omelette a few days ago) I'll post them to the blog here (and share to facebook so people actually see them).  I love breakfast food, so I have a bunch of great breakfast recipes.  I wish I could day the same about lunch.  I tried to find sandwiches, wraps, and salads that could be made and refrigerated the night before so that Michael could take them to work.  However, I didn't find nearly as many good recipes as I wanted to.  I'll keep a look out for some, but in the meantime, here are some we did enjoy.  :)

Lunches:
Skinny Chicken Salad
Skinny Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Avocado Chicken Salad
Caprese Wraps with Chicken
Zesty Italian Meatball Wrap
Skinny 'Starbucks' Protein Bistro Box

Dinners (or Suppers) are easy for us as well.  I plan on most of these being made fresh each evening and assume I'll have plenty of time to cook them.  Some of them have leftovers, which is great when I know I have busy evenings coming up during the week.  Anything that requires much cooking and is better warm or when freshly assembled, I plan for a dinner meal.  There are lots of great recipes, and in the summer we do a bunch of grilling too.  Here is a list of our go-to favorites for dinner!

Dinners:
Turkey Wrap with Apple and Brie
Buttered Brussel Sprouts Penne
BBQ Pizza with Slaw
Creamy Spinach and Cheese Green Chile Enchiladas
