Quick & Easy HEALTHY Dinner 2

Hey y'all, I am back with another super quick healthy dinner!

Because let's face it, nobody has time for a long prep. Am I right?!?

SIDE BAR- before I forget, I made an Instagram specifically for my blog!
Its-----> naturallyemblog
and my personal is--> emmamason3

The pictures may intersect every once in a while but check them out! Lots of fun Crossfit, Lululemon, and food goodies :)

 Now, ADD moment over, back to the healthy dinner

So, using the left over chicken from my last healthy dinner post, all I did was add it to a salad with some veggies.

Super simple, right?

For dressing I made a healthy concoction....

Ingreds:

-half a lemon squeezed

-Braggs Organic Sprinkle

- Bob's ground flax

-Ground chia

 

Y'all have seen this so many times in previous food posts

It is a legit staple in my kitchen

 

And per usual, I add ground chia and ground flax for added omegas and nutrients

Though the dressing seems simple, its so easy and the less ingreds the better.

What are some of your easy meal recipes? I am dying for more!

Quick & Easy HEALTHY Dinner 1

Who doesn't love an easy, fast dinner????

And no, I am not talking about FAsT food!!!!!

Today, I am going to show you a super easy and quick dinner I made that was satisfying and healthy in under ten minutes.

I hate long, drawn out recipes that take all day to make. Plus I am starving after my WOD and will literally grab at anything I see. Tsk Tsk that's a bad habit so I've been playing around with fast meals.

This IS a meatless meal but you can always add a lean grilled or steamed chicken or meat to the plate as well I just didn't have any on hand.

 

I used coconut oil to satay the onions until very soft.

I added the kale and some pepper to taste. After the kale softened I squeezed fresh lemon juice on it and continued to cook for 2-3 more minutes.

 

Along with the kale I baked a sweet potato! YUM!!!

I could eat one of those with everything and plus they are so good for you. 

Benefits include:

1. High in vitamin B6

2. Good source of vitamin C and D

3. They contain iron and magnesium which are good for the immune system, heart, muscle, and nerve function

4. High in beta-carotene which helps fight against cancer

5. You can cook them several ways so you don't get bored

Naturally, I don't add butter but I did find a yummy alternative at Kroger and it is this...

It's obviously not the healthiest thing in the WORLD, but its a better alternative. It doesn't taste like coconut either it is very light. Also, I do not add any of that nasty sweet stuff people tend to add to sweet potatoes. I just use plain ole' pepper and pink Himalayan salt.

Sweet potatoes are already naturally sweet so why add brown sugar???

Let me know if any of you try this!!!! More on kale in another post! Can you say super food???

New Addiction<<---- Crossfit

Happy 2014 y'all! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I am ready to kick 2013 to the curb and start fresh this year. I re read all my 2013 resolutions from this post, and I pretty much followed all of them!

But these past few months I have found a new love, and that is Crossfit.
 "That cult fitness thing" as I used to call it. Yes, the very same one.
 Like obsession is an understatement. My boyfriend owns a Crossfit gym, he initially got me into it, and I can't seem to get enough!!!!!! Have any of you changed your training methods?? Have you ever tried Crossfit?? I plan on competing in February for the first time and I am nervous/excited. How are y'all staying active this year?
