The Dude made Quiche!

So I am all about giving credit when credit is due! I got home late last night and I walk into the oven timer going off and the dude pulling out paleo quiche(minus the cheese version ones- which I believe are not paleo due to the dairy).. Anyways there were 4 different versions:

1. Peppers
2. Sausage & Peppers
3. Sausage
4. Cheese

I had the sausage last night and the cheese for breakfast.. 1 word.. DELISH! Way to go dude! I think I'll keep ya around

Ingredients:
This is your chance to be creative..keep it healthy though.. Eggs or egg whites.

Mix up eggs and veggies/meat- already cooked & pour in a muffin tin. Bake on 350 for 20-30 min.

Enjoy!!

Love Salsa?!?

I wanted to share a great local Texas Salsa that I picked up a Whole Foods the other day.  If you love salsa, this is a pretty darn good one..  WARNING!  It is not lying when it says HOT!

Chicken Quesadillas with Apple & Brie

I know, I know... A new recipe is LONG overdue!!  The dude & I have been on a 24 day Advocare challenge (curious?!? advocare.com- 24 day challenge bundle- interested?!? Let me know and I can get you 30% off!!), so our dinners have been lot's of grilled and baked chicken & veggies..  Nothing I felt needed to blogged about..

I have been craving Mexican food and happened to come across this recipe in Fitness RX magazine as a great Fat Blasting meal, so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try and it was DELISH & dude approved!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 large spinach tortilla or wrap, herb flavored if available
    • I used a Spinach wrap from Whole Foods- pic below
  • 1 tsp peanut or sesame oil
  • 3 oz roasted, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced;
    •  I had the dude grill our chicken and seasoned with the following:
      • EVOO
      • All Seasoning
      • Minced Garlic
      • Minced Onions
      • Garlic Salt
  • 2 oz sweet crisp apple, thinly sliced & then sliced into semi-circles 
  • 2 oz Brie cheese, including rind, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp honey mustard
Heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan & place tortilla in the pan.  Arrange Brie evenly on the tortilla & let it begin to melt.  Cover one half of the circle with the chicken & fold to close.  Flip semicircle over & cook until slightly golden.  Remove from heat, carefully pull tortilla open, drizzle with honey mustard & top with apple slices.  Fold to close & cut in 1/2 to create 2 45-degree triangles.  Makes 2 servings.
