I have found that it is so much easier to create yummy meals with a more nutritious diet. Exciting! And you feel so much better about yourself too. I want to share a few ideas I have, although not all of them are original. The ones I made up have a * after them. Here ya go!
- Breakfast: take some unsweetened apple sauce, heat it up for about 2 minutes in the microwave, add 1-2 tbsp of almond butter, 1 tbsp of coconut oil, and stir until dissolved. Add almond flour until desired thickness. Better than cream of wheat!
- Another breakfast idea: omelet with crumbled sausage or bacon and cheese, really filling! *
- Nick's favorite pasta alternative: Brown 1 lb of ground beef, then cook 2 sliced zucchinis in a pan with some water until tender. Combine ground beef, cooked zucchini, 1 jar of no sugar added spaghetti sauce (or a can of crushed tomatoes). Serve with shredded cheese on top (put in microwave for about 1 min to melt the cheese), or leave off cheese if desired. So yummy!*
- Sweet potato fries (good substitute for real fries): Peel a sweet potato for each person eating and cut into fry-sized pieces (smaller is better) and lay on a cookie sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and add fresh cracked pepper and sea salt. Bake in oven at 350-400 degrees (depending on hotness of oven, mine is really hot) for about 15-20 minutes until slightly brown. Flip if desired. *
- I usually serve the sweet potato fries with hamburger patties or pan fried cubed steak (with or without cheese on top)*
- Cod or tilapia fillets cooked in a foil pack (sealed in) with a pat of butter, lemon juice, cracked pepper and sea salt. Cook at 400 degrees for about 10-15 mins depending on size. *
- Any kind of green vegetable is really good steamed and mixed with pesto sauce :) *
