Healthy Meals

Hello my people! Hope everyone is doing great. I loved hearing y'alls' feedback on my Guest Post on Monday. If you missed it, you should definitely check it out. Let's just say...that I talk about how potatoes gross me out. Yeah, it got real.

Well, a month ago I talked about how I was going to start eating healthier rather than dieting. I've struggled some but I feel like I've gotten on track for the most part. When I mentioned some recipes I received some feedback to share some of what I've been cooking. So here I am! I've tried a few recipes I think you will love. For the most part I eat cereal for breakfast and a quick meal like leftovers or sandwich for lunch. So I'm sharing recipes for dinner and dessert!

I pretty much solely cook chicken for my protein. 

I loved this meal. What I liked about it was that it was an entire meal in one. Also, it has lots of veggies in it. It was super delicious and easy! I loved that I stuck the chicken in the crockpot in the morning and assembled the bowl when I got home from work. Also, the healthy ranch dressing is delicious.

I love this chicken. It's my favorite thing to cook after work because it's so quick. All you need is a stocked spice cabinet and chicken thighs. I usually mix the spices the night before so it's quicker in the afternoon.

The chicken is very tender and flavorful. I also love that it's just spices for flavor. Healthy and delicious is my jam.

Sides are tricky sometimes. You don't want to be cooking a million different things at the same time but you also can't just eat chicken. Sides are when I get very excited. My new obsession is brussels sprouts. I have no idea why but I'm liking it. Mostly because they are so healthy and I crave them...what!? My go to brussels sprouts recipe is this one...

...they are SO GOOD. They are quick and easy. Seriously, try them. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've made 3 pounds worth of brussels sprouts with this recipe. Is that weird?

Or this one is tasty too...

Yummmm I want some! These are yummy because they are more chargrilled. Usually, I pair chicken, a brussels sprouts dish, and another dish. Maybe my mashed cauliflower that I blogged about awhile ago or roasted sweet potatoes.

And I always have to have dessert after dinner. It's a horrible habit but it is what it is. I'm pretty good at avoiding sugar during the day but at night I like my treat. I mentioned that I was going to try the healthy frozen yogurt and I did. It is so delicious. I would never know it was so healthy.

It tastes like ice cream and really does the trick for my sweet tooth. I mentioned it on Friday but I also am loving me some pumpkin muffins! Well, it might not be the healthiest dessert ever but it's also not awful for you. The best part too is that I feel very satisfied after just 1. It's 1 box of spiced cake mix, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, and 1 can of pumpkin. Bake for 15-17 minutes at 350 degrees. So easy and so good!

I am obsessed. So that's what I've been eating lately. It isn't strict calorie counting but it is eating cleaner and incorporating more vegetables. I've already lost a view pounds and my clothes are fitting differently just from eating better not less. I don't feel deprived at all. 

I would love to hear what y'all think! Any yummy recipes I should try next? Well toodles for now friends. xoxo
