Day 1 Shift Shop Meal Plan

Woot woot! Day 1 was a success. I always get a little nervous when starting a new meal plan. Is it going to be enough food? Will I like the portions they set? Thank goodness Beachbody knows how to create phenomenal plans to follow!! This one is not a disappointment.

First meal of the day was eggs and spinach. I love spinach, but just don't prepare it enough. No one else really likes it in the fam, so it's always just for me. I love to sautee it with a dash of S & P.

And you can totally sub out the spinach for any veggie you like. Just use the approved food list! With 25+ choices, I'm sure there's something for everyone.

Now this was my fav meal of the day. I've never put black beans in any salad, but what a win!! This momma will be experimenting with beans a lot more in the near future.

This salad was to die for and so easy and simple to make. I had everything at home for this  tasty one. 

Supper was another easy meal. Can you see the pattern here? Simple. Easy. Tasty.

That's it! Salmon, broccoli and sweet potatoes. What I loved most about the supper plan, is its hubby approved. Sometimes cooking for the who family can be challenging. And in all honesty, I'm like every other momma out there, and a box of KD is usually made. Don't get me wrong, my minis eat their veggies. Just not every veggie I eat. So a little compromise can go a long way in my house.

Do you like what you see? Think you could see yourself eating a meal plan like this one? Shoot me a message, I'd love to share with you the meal plan I use!

Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Today I have a new recipe to share with you, and you're gonna love it! To be honest, I really had never made stuffed peppers myself before. And like I said in previous posts, I'm going to learn to cook! So why not give a whirl.

What I love most about this recipe, it's Paleo and Whole30 approved. And totally fits into any 21 Day Fix meal plan. The ingredients are simple, but you could change it up how ever you want. Personally and on the advice of Hubby, we'll be making it exactly the same next time!

Whole30 Sweet Potato Chili

Can I just say I love chili!! Like seriously, who doesn't love a good hearty chili on a cool day. I've been fighting a darn cold and needed some warm goodness in my tummy! I should also add this was my first time making it, and we absolutely loved it!! Hubby wanted seconds and asked if there would be some in the freezer for him. That is a total win for me. Sometimes being a busy mom and trying to find recipes that please everyone can be tough. But hey, that's why I'm here sharing all the great ones we try!!

Alright here's a lil secret, I had never cooked with hot peppers before. Really. For many years I've been scared to cook with them! I had this funny anxiety that everything would turn out too hot!! Okay, now looking back, it was ridiculous. lol. the pic above....my very first chopped hot pepper. Proud new chef moment :)

Whole30 Chicken Cacciatore

Hello, welcome to my blog! Happy you could stop by.

Ok, so I have to share the amazing recipe with you. Now I need to give you a disclaimer first. In no way did I come up with this recipe on my own. I'm giving full inspirational credit to The Whole30 program. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to educate yourself. lol. Not even kidding. I follow Whole30/Paleo the best that I can, but in no way punish my self for trying other food. But honestly if has changed my relationship with food and how I eat! If you struggle with emotional eating or just making plain old poor choices, it's worth a shot. It's only 30 days.

Alright, now to the good stuff! The reason you stopped by my little corner on the inter web :)
