Natures Bounty

I've decided to start posting new recipes and share discoveries I make ingredient and fitness wise. I'll still be posting my weekly entries an photo journal.

Breakfast: basic egg white scramble

Ingredients:
Egg whites
Garlic
Red Bell Pepper
Red Onion
Cilantro
Pepper
Heavy Cream

Pre heat non stick pan. It's a good idea to invest in some high quality cookware because when a pan is done right it allows you to cook evenly, deliciously and without any aids like fatty butter or oil.
While heating the pan chop garlic, onion and pepper. Sauté. Whip egg whites with cream and pepper. Add to veg combo and stir constantly minding the bottom of the skillet. Eggs are done when light and fluffy and they don't look wet anymore.

Lunch: Brussel Sprouts, the right way!

This is a veg that I've fallen for hard! It gets a bad wrap because web it's over cooked it releases sulfur and the taste is just offensive. Every person I've ever made these for swore they hated them until they tried them this way! I add them to salads, eat them as a side with eggs or as a snack.

Ingredients:
Beussel Sprouts sliced four ways vertically, be sure they're all about equal is size for balanced cooking
Garlic (which I obviously love as well)
Oil
Black pepper
Pink Hymalayan Salt

Heat skillet with oil and garlic. When hot add sprouts, pepper and lightly salt to taste. Constantly move them to avoid burns and make sure to get all sides equally. They should only take 2-3 minuets to cook and they'll have a super green healthy look to them.

Dinner: Turkey Tacos

Ingredients:
Ground lean turkey
Pico DeGallo
Shredded Cheese
Black Beans
Whole Wheat Tortillas
Garlic
Onion
Avocado*

Prepare pico ( chopped tomato, red onion, cilantro, and jalapino), *guac can be made by just mixing pico in with mashed avocado and some lemon juice, shred cheese, strain black beans and prepare in pot on stove with a little water. Brown turkey and season with garlic and onions. Never serve a tortilla cold so warm them up a bit, if you use a microwave make sure to dampen the too and bottom ones, middle too if there is a lot, so they stay nice and moist. Put it all together and enjoy!

Dessert: Sweet Potatoes and Apple

Ingredients:
Sweet Potato
Apple
Cinnamon
Olive Oil

Slice the potato and apple, heat oil on stove, toss it all in with cinnamon. This one kills my sweet tooth and gets in my carbs!

Tomorrow, my strength routine that kills my body!! (In such a good way)
