Meal Pinning Monday

Linking up with Emily after taking a week off from the blog!

Last Monday, I started a 30 day transformation (no cheats + exercise), so I have a full blown meal plan for the entire month. With that said, I do not have much planned for eating from pinterest this month. I am, however, going to try to find something similar on pinterest that would serve the purpose!

Monday

Shake Day :)

Tuesday

B- steel cut oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder

S- Greek Yogurt with Xypstick

L- Chicken Salad (Chopped grilled chicken, a little greek yogurt, a little jalapeno, a little dijion mustard) 

all served in a romaine lettuce cup

S- Lean Shake

D- Grilled Pork Chop and Grilled Zucchini Salad (I will probably make the following with a drizzle of this yummy Ranch Vinaigrette).

Wednesday

B- Shake with banana

S-almonds

L- a version of the below... this is my least favorite meal. it will be hard to eat, but I can also have salsa and a little bit of cheese, so I may use grilled chicken and mix it all up and make it like a taco bowl or something.

D- Grilled Steak and a Salad

Bring On Week 1! Ready to Kick Butt!!

Weight Loss Wednesday.... Substitutions

One thing miss is good chips! I love Cheetos, sun chips, and I really miss "hot chips and cheese," but none of those are low carb friendly on my xyngular diet, so I had to come up with some substitutions. 

The first one is my Low Carb Chips and Dip. Just baking pepperoni gives you a nice crispy snack with a lot of flavor!

The second is new to me. I've mentioned before that I am super picky!! I am trying to test something new once a week. A few weeks ago, that was zucchini! It really has no flavor and works perfectly as a chip for salsa (and hummus if you like it). 

The third chip substitution comes from the Louisiana Bride Blog. It's her BBQ Kale Chips. I don't know how to put into words how great these little things are!!!

I am always open to other substitutions, so if you have any, please share!!!

Teacher Tuesday

Posting from the blogger app today since I am busy working on stuff for next year!! 

Here are a few pictures of my progress! All of these print outs are from Pinterest! You can check them out my Pinterest board called My Pirate Classroom! I am sooo obsessed with all of the pirate stuff! 

Meal Planning Monday.... a little late in the day!

I'm linking up a little late in the day with Emily... I couldn't get the link to work for me today! 

I'm a little late today. I spent the day wedding dress shopping with my friend Katie! After 6 hours, she finally said yes to a dress!!!

Tuesday

I didn't cook the pizza and breadsticks Sunday, so I will cook those tomorrow! 

Wednesday

I will be eating leftovers on Wednesday because I am going home for a few days, and I need to clean out the fridge.

The rest of the week I will be at home and/or my aunt's house... I am thinking about cooking some fun 4th of July things.... I will picture a few of my choices below.

Bacon Cheddar Chicken Burger with Honey Mustard

I fell in love with these :) If ground beef wasn't so much cheaper, I would use ground chicken for everything!!

Ingredients for Burger:

1 lb. Ground chicken

1 tbsp. minced garlic

1 tbsp. chives, chopped

1/2 cup grated cheddar

2 tbsp. stone ground mustard

S/P 

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.

Form into patties. 

Place on george forman and grill until well done!

Sauce:

1/2 C Stone Ground Mustard

1/4 C honey

Stir ingredients until combined

Serve hamburger  on a bed of spinach (and jalapenos if you like heat like I do!). 

Top with cheese, bacon, and honey mustard sauce.

Serve with sweet potato fries.
