Day Five - Share Your Favorite Recipes

Today I'm going to share a couple recipes that I've really enjoyed during this process - and I would like for you to share your favorite too!

First I'm going to start off with My Favorite Smoothy.  (This happens to be the one I made today.  Almost always I will add Kale or some kind of green into my drink, but today I went all fruit!)  Here it is:

- Pomegranate seeds
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Kiwi
-Pinapple
-Green Apple

If you go with all fruit, like I did today, try and focus on making the rest of your meals mostly veggies.

My Favorite Snack/Side Dish - Crispy Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

  • 1/2 head cauliflower florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Coarse salt
  • Red chile flakes

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle cauliflower florets with olive oil. Season with salt. Roast, turning occasionally, until golden brown and just tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle with red chili flakes.







You can do this with most veggies - and it makes it SO yummy! I did a combo of baby bok choy and cauliflower last night- AMAZING!

Favorite Entree's

My absolute favorite was the cedar plank salmon, but since I already mentioned that in a past post - I will tell you about An Asian Chili-Garlic Paste to marinate most anything in, we used it on chicken last night and it was SO good!  I found this recipe in a Weight Watchers magazine. Here it is:








PLEASE SHARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES WITH ALL OF US! 

Stay Strong,
