I had a long weekend and I feel like all I have done is cook, eat and run {all to the sounds of Ms Janet Jackson! hence my first sentence}.
What have I cooked lately? Well, if you remember I am on this clean eating
Protein Pancakes! Practically one each day- they are awesome after a great cardio session!
{recipe from the Tone It Up girls}
Pan Roasted Grape Tomatoes make the perfect M4! {Fourth meal/afternoon snack} Little bit of evoo and a hot pan- don't be scared, they make strange noises when they roast, and it is okay if the skin pops or chars. That's when you know its going to be yummy!
Quick & Easy Vegan Chili
It's been a rainy weekend and chili is always hits the spot on those nights. This is also a Tone It Up recipe- but of course, I improvised a bit
I love the colors!
Onion, minced garlic, black beans, roasted red pepper, diced tomatoes, spinach and chili seasoning
I let all of the ingredients get friendly over medium low heat for about 20 minutes {err until I was absolutely starving and couldn't wait another second}. The colors were still beautiful but the chili was so dang hot, that it kept steaming up my super nice camera iphone camera. #picturefail
Yummy #cleaneating chili! Served in a coffee mug is always the way to go
{why can't I stop talking in hashtags?! I am the new version of an annoying 13 year old w/ her LOL's and BFF's....augh}
Sorry for the long post, but I just finished up a yummy yummy homemade pizza- and I have to share!
Tons of Toppings Veggie Pizza {clean eating style!}
I made my own dough, which was a huge undertaking since I have never ever baked something successfully! {except for those cookies stuffed w oreos...ooooh man....go away bad thoughts} Above is the cast of characters, the packet at the bottom is active dry yeast.
Making the dough....saying my prayers to the Baking Gods {jk}
There she is, a little ball of Hope {and dreams}
Now for 10 minutes of constant worries and wishing.
"Please do whatever it is you are supposed to do. Please."
The easy part- toppings! I used roasted red peppers, red onions, mushrooms, baby tomatoes and artichoke hearts
No pictures because I was much too excited.... but the dough did whatever it was supposed to do! I spread it out on the pan, baked it for 15 minutes and then...
Topped it!
Bake for 25ish minutes on 350 degrees then enjoy!
Who needs Pizza Hut? Papa Who? :)
Now- this #cleaneating pizza is great!!! I will totally make it again! But I have to say...I am missing my fatty delivery pizza from time to time.
Let me know if you try out any of these recipes or have any Clean Eating suggestions! I have to tell you- I can totally see/feel a difference since starting this.
Try it out!
:) amc
The pizza was delicious!!! Even with no meat or a ton of cheese.
