Chicken fried cauliflower rice


Yes this recipe is keto friendly... no I don't follow a keto diet. I prefer eating for LIFE and that means BALANCED. I do not support the keto diet because of my education in nutrition, and low-carbohydrate diets may increase your risk for kidney damage, osteoporosis, abnormal heartbeat, lipid abnormalities and even sudden death. If your ketogenic diet is high in protein, it could also increase your risk for diabetes, cancer and overall premature mortality. So why on earth would I ever try to get my clients to go keto? I wouldn't. I teach my clients how to live long happy healthy abundant lives. I do NOT think one needs to go through life without ever having grain or treats again. All things in balance. 

I do however, know that Carbohydrates are best consumed during the first half of your day, because carbohydrates give you ENERGY. So I have my healthy carbs for breakfast and lunch and keep them out of my dinner. Enter this healthy Chicken fried cauliflower rice. With about 300 calories per serving, it gives you a fantastic protein packed dinner that is fiber filled leaving you full and satisfied. If you would like to learn what foods benefit you better and when... please reach out! I love teaching people how to feel better!

Here is this Healthy Chicken fried cauliflower rice recipe. Enjoy!

1 head of cauliflower, blended till it looks like rice (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 lb. boneless chicken breast, chopped into 1/2″ dices
4 eggs

Beachbars the new snackbar that knocks out all other competition.

Can we talk packaged snack food for a sec?
I know it is convenient, and before I started my healthy lifestyle I used to eat at least one packaged bar daily, thinking it was healthy!  While a select few are good for you with all natural ingredients, others are full of artificial flavors, tons of added sugar, preservatives, and trans fats.  In fact, a lot aren’t much better than eating a candy bar.
That’s why I’m SO Excited for these new BEACHBARS because they are full of REAL, natural ingredients, packed with protein, low sugar, low glycemic, and full of fiber!  I have seriously been waiting for Beachbody to come out with a bar to help those of us who are go-go-go... but still want to eat HEALTHY!

Nutrition Facts

The nutrition in Beachbody BEACHBARS are exactly what you want in a bar.  PLUS they are gluten free, have zero grams trans fats, and contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.


Each bar has 150 calories, 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and only 5-6 grams of sugar.  It’s the perfect snack for on-the-go or anytime you need something quick!

What Flavors does BEACHBAR come in?

It comes in two flavors: Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Cherry Almond. Both are made with nut pieces and nut butters, protein crisps, and topped with a ribbon of chocolate. Can you say, delicious!?

Ingredients

BEACHBAR combines crunchy, protein crisps, nut pieces, chocolate chips, creamy nut butters, and fruit chunks (in the Chocolate Cherry Almond flavor) to deliver delicious, satisfying goodness in every bite. The key ingredients are below!

How Do BEACHBARS Compare?

Like I said, there are a select few bars out there that are actually good for you (including my favorite RX Bars!) These are the few I would actually consider healthy, but BEACHBARS actually out rank ALL of them!

Do They Fit Into the Portion Fix?

YES!  They count as 1/2 red, 1/2 yellow, and 1 tsp per bar!  They will fit right into the Beachbody program nutrition plans.

Honey Ginger Glaze Ono and Pineapple Salsa

I made this healthy fish dish last night and it was DIVINE! 100% clean and healthy, but tastes sinful. Super simple too! 


Honey Ginger Glaze Ono and Pineapple Salsa

Serves: 4-6


Ingredients
1½ lbs Fresh Ono cut into 4-6 pieces ( or any white fish )
⅓ C coconut aminos
⅓ C honey
3 TBSP ginger root
2 garlic cloves
1 TBSP olive oil
-------
Pineapple Ginger Salsa
½ pineapple, pealed, cored, small diced ( about 3 cups)
1 jalapeño- seeds removed, very finely diced
¼ C finely diced red onion
1 tsp finely minced or grated ginger root
½ Cup chopped cilantro
⅛ tsp kosher salt


Instructions
Make marinade for the fish. Super easy... put all in a blender:
soy sauce, honey, sliced ginger, garlic and olive oil and blend until smooth.
Place fish and marinade in a ziplock bag or bowl for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.


While fish is marinating, make pineapple salsa.
Slice and dice half a pineapple into ½ inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. You should have about 3 cups.Toss in the rest of the ingredients. for a milder salsa, add only ½ a jalapeño.


Preheat oven to broil.
Prepare Fish. Heat oil in a large heavy bottom skillet, over medium high heat. When oil is hot, place the fish in the skillet, saving the marinade. Sear the fish, on its sides, and then place in the broiler for 8 minutes to cook through. If you like a rare fish, you can skip the broil. For medium rare, a quick 2-3 minute sear on each side is all you need.


Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and bring to a boil for 30 seconds, until it thickens. Spoon this over the fish, along with a generous amount of pineapple salsa before serving. I served on top of spinach and romaine for a nice salad, but it is great on rice or quinoa too.
ENJOY!

Halloween Fruit Cups


Halloween does not need to be filled of all things candy. We all know the kids will be throwing themselves onto all the candy that is handed out. So I like to make healthier options at home. Using Oranges and carving out a Jack-O-Lantern, makes this a playful after school snack. 


Halloween Fruit Cups


What you will need:
A pairing knife
Oranges
Items you want to fill the oranges with: apples, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, orange slices, blueberries, Candy, nuts...the possibilities are endless. 

Start off by cutting off the top of your orange.
Next you are going to use your knife to cut out the fruit. 
Then using your fingers, gently pull out the fruit.
Slice up the fruit you would like to put inside. 
Add your fruit to the "pumpkin orange". The citrus keeps the fruit from browning.
I cut the rind off of one of the apples and pushed it through the top of the orange to make a stem. 




You can keep them in the fridge up to 24 hours before you serve them. 
See how cute they are!

The Best Guacamole


I love this time of year here in California. It is not uncommon to pull up to a stop sign and there be a little farmer selling bags of fresh picked avocado's for $5. I snag a bag any time I can. They grow abundantly here, and it is not uncommon to drive through a neighborhood and have boxes of them on the curb labeled "free". That is what I used to do with my lemons and limes. 

I used to be afraid of Avocado's because of their fat. After having Cancer and the doctor telling me it is a perfect fat. A fat my body needs. I was so happy! I use them in everything from ranch dressing, to salads and sandwiches. More often than not I don't even need mayo or a sauce. They make everything creamy and delicious!

So here is my all time favorite way to make Guacamole. Creamy and Chunky at the same time. It is naturally gluten-free! We went over to our friends for game night and because I didn't want to be tempted to eat food that was bad for me, I brought sliced cucumbers to dip into it. Yum! Everyone else loved the Organic chips I brought, but I was a good girl! :)

Guacamole
by Mom What's For Dinner


1 cup diced sweet onion
4 garlic cloves minced
4 serrano chiles minced (with seeds for spicy)
Juice of 2 limes 
5 ripe avocados 
coarse salt 


Put the onion, garlic, chiles,lime juice and Avocados in a bowl. 

Use a large serving fork and mix up the ingredients. Then press the fork around the sides of the bowl mashing the Avocado. This will make a chunky guacamole. If you like Cilantro, by all means add it. We love it, but I know for some people it is a cringe ingredient. ( I will never understand that way of thinking ). But I aim to please. 
There you go! The best guacamole ever!

I shared the makings of this dish the other night on my snapchat feed. If you aren't following me, my snapchat is: csilbaugh I share a lot of step by step how to cook clips. 

This is one of my favorite ways to each Chicken. I add extra ginger because I love it, AND ginger can also destroy ovarian cancer cells. Ovarian was just one of the types of Cancer I had. I LOVE to be proactive and have my food be my medicine. Plus it tastes oh so good

The Ultimate Cleanse and Detox in 21 days

Hi friends and family and followers! You all know my heart... ...the more I think about the food that we eat, the more it fuels my passion to want to serve anyone and everyone who wants to work towards feeling the healthiest and happiest they can! You all know I am#FedUp  and have a passion to #EndTheTrend  of#obesity.

I learned the hard way there are foods that just pull away from my body and mind feeling good--or even RIGHT, and the sad truth is, they can end your life.

No more! It's time for a change....a complete paradigm shift in the way that we eat and think about the food that we consume. By way of the Ultimate Reset! A 21 day detox that focuses on WHAT we eat to nourish and fuel our bodies with daily. Over the course of three weeks it progressively gets more strict and eliminates those foods that build up toxins in our body. It includes supplements to revitalize our system and a full cooking guide. No starvation or liquid only!! I SAID NO STARVATION!!!! Yep, you eat your way through this.

Honestly, you already know in YOUR heart if you need a change or not. It's evident in the way your body feels. You have seen my journey and know how far I fell off the healthy way of living. Since I have changed my life and way of thinking  and really focus on getting HEALTHY and resetting my ENTIRE body. I have NEVER felt better!

Here is the clincher... NO EXERCISE!  For some this is good, for others this is bad. It is hard for me to give up exercise, but it is the perfect way to ease into a healthy life if you are someone who has been dormant for a while.
I can promise this will crush your sugar and dairy addictions, and you WILL lose weight! Not to mention it has helped people get off their anti-depressants, finally curing insomnia, fibromyalgia,  IBS, lethargy AND cutting insulin intake by half*!!!

If you:

Struggle w/ Fatigue

Experience "Brain Fog"

Anxiety and/or Depression

Digestive Issues

Have Undergone IVF or Chemo

High Blood Pressure/Cholesterol

Sugar Addiction

Caffeine Dependency

Consume Excess Artificial Sweeteners/Processed Foods

Have A Nice Spare Tire

Dependent On Prescription Drugs

NEED A CHANGE!

Does this sound like you? Join small our group of committed people (ready to feel amazing like you) and kick off Spring with a clean slate and a FRESH START. Comment below with a 'TELL ME MORE'  or just private message me (momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com) and I will connect you with the info you need to gain an invaluable education on how to FUEL your body for LIFE. 

What the Ultimate Reset is NOT:

-> A starvation diet.
-> An abrupt cleanse that's hard on the body.
-> A laxative-based, colon-focused cleanse, which fails to truly detoxify the whole body.
*While following the meal plan provided BUT modifying for appropriate amounts of proteins and other nutrients!

Contact me today so we can get your kits to you in time!!!
