Meal 5: Open or leftovers or Salad on the Go (Soccer Tournament All Weekend) 

We have another weird up and down schedule next week so I tried planning around that, not cooking ever night as I want to use our leftovers and eat up what we have.  We also have a weekend full of soccer as both our girls are in tournaments and our schedule has not yet been released so who knows when they play.  Once the schedule comes out I can then plan my meals around driving and games which will be know more at the end of next week. Sometimes it's easier to keep things simple and easy for crazy weekends like that. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Happy cooking and enjoy!

New Recipe - Easy Instant Pot Protein Packed Brown Rice and Veggies (Clean Eating & Vegetarian)

Easy Instant Pot Protein Packed Brown Rice and Veggies

Servings 5 to 6 

Serving size: 1 cup 

Ingredients:

2 cup long grain brown rice

2 1/2 cups of water or low sodium vegetable broth

2 cups frozen organic mixed vegetables

1 (14.5 oz) can of black beans - rinsed

1 (14.5 oz) can diced fire roasted tomatoes

salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
2. Place the rice into your Instant Pot. Add water or broth and frozen mixed vegetables, stir to combine. 
3. Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and close, turn the steam valve to sealing. 
4. Select the Instant Pot to pressure cook (manual) at high pressure for 22 minutes.  Do not use the "rice" button as it will not cook the brown rice correctly.  
5. While the rice is cooking, make sure to drain your black beans from the can and rinse them good then set them to the side.
6. When it's done and beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes (do not touch anything).
7. After 10 minutes of natural release, carefully turn the steam value to the venting position. Once the pin has dropped carefully open the lid and stir the rice.
8. At this point add the canned black beans and diced fire roasted tomatoes.
9. Salt and pepper can also be added at this time to your liking.
10. Fluff the rice, beans and veggies and serve with your favorite toppings!!! Enjoy!

This is my second month doing this challenge and I'm very excited as I was battling a nasty sinus infection the first month so I only really completed half the challenge.  The first week of detoxing is always the toughest so I'm glad to have that week over and now moving into week 2. I have posted my meal plan for week 2 along with all the recipe links for each of my meals, it's going to be a nice cold week here in Texas so I'm excited to have some yummy soup recipes to change things up.  Hope everyone has a very happy and healthy week!!!

I'm sad to say week 3 of my clean eating challenge was a complete bust as I have been  battling a nasty head cold all week and have been in bed for the last 8 days which really stinks.  I'm not sure what happen but I got hit hard and it was no fun at all.  I really missed out on a lot of things this week, all my daughters activities, no workouts, no cooking or meal prepping and fell behind on lots of house responsibilities.  I think I'm finally healing and getting better but I still need to chill out and not do too much to the point I relapse that would not be good at all.  So this week I'm excited to cook again and try some new tasty recipes, as I have missed cooking and eating my 5 meals daily. For anyone who reads this and try's out any of these recipes please let me know how you like them by leaving a comment below or in our Facebook group.  Hope everyone has a happy, safe and healthy week. Enjoy!!!

I’m very excited to do a full reintroduction after this round of Whole30 as I have never actually done one. I have always just jumped into Paleo and then hit the ground running but this time I want to explore and see what food trigger my stomach and which foods don’t.  This will help me move into my Food Freedom stage and allow me to move forward with better food choices.  I would love to move more into Clean Eating and to have flexibility when eating in the future.  This would make meal planning much easier for our family and especially for my older daughter who is vegetarian. I would love to eat more plant based foods but still have a balance of baking and enjoying the things I love to eat on special occasions.  I will add next weeks reintroduce meal plan to this list so it’s easier to find and follow for those wanting to do this as well.  Again these are guidelines and ideas to help with those wanting to reintroduce food groups and looking for ways to do that.  I hope everyone has a fantastic week, stay safe and healthy!!!! Happy cooking everyone!!!

Week 3 is here! I decided to look through my printed recipes for this week and pulled out a few family favorites. I wanted several easy recipes as school begins virtually this week and I don’t want to be in my kitchen all day long meal prepping. Im hoping for a great week as the weather will be nice in the mornings and looking to get moving as I need to workout. Hope everyone stays safe and healthy. Have a great week everyone!!! 

Side notes: Weeks 2 and 4 were done using several of my Whole30 cookbooks so I did not create those weekly meal menus as I didn’t have any links for those recipes, however if anyone is interested in some great Whole30 recipes books I would be more then happy to recommend some of my favorites. Just comment below or you can email me and I will send you links to get the books or other Whole30 sites that I use all the time.
