Sometimes I like to start my day off with a little cardio and then food prep for the next few days. Today I got creative and whipped up a ton of new recipes on the fly! They turned out amazing so I thought I would share all three of them with you this morning.
Recipe #1 - Sweet Mexican Tilapia
Ingredients:
- - Mango Peach Salsa
- - 1 ½ lbs tilapia
- - lemon juice
- - black beans 1 can
Directions
1. 1. Get a bake safe rectangular dish to put the fish in.
2. 2. Put the fish in this dish with a dash of lemon juice in the bottom. (this is preference but I have found that it keeps the fishy odor to a minimum and also doesn’t allow the fish to dry out).
3. 3. Atop the fish put however much Mango Peach Salsa that you would like.
4. 4. Also for a little extra kick I added Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle spice on top.
5. 5. Bake on 350 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes
6. 6. Plate with black means and additional salsa.
Recipe #2 – Almond Crusted Chicken
Ingredients
- - handful of plain dry roasted almonds
- - 1 ½ lbs chicken
- - 1 packet Justin’s maple almond butter
- - 1 tbsp mustard
- - 2 tbsp vinegar
- - 1 tbsp soy sauce
- - lemon juice
- - 4 tbsp water
Directions
1. 1. Use bake safe dish to cook the chicken in.
2. 2. Place chicken in bake safe dish with a dash of lemon juice in the bottom (keeps the chicken from drying out too much).
3. 3. Now mix in a separate small bowl all the other ingredients. This makes a sauce that you can now pour over your chicken.
4. 4. Blend up the dry roasted almonds in food processor and drizzle over the coated chicken.
5. 5. Bake on 350 for 25 – 30 minutes.
6. 6. Plate and server with favorite veggies and glass of water!
Recipe #3 – Broccoli Egg Bake
Ingredients
- - 4 egg whites
- - 1 cup broccoli
- - ½ red/yellow peppers
- - 1 tbsp feta cheese (reduced fat)
- - 1 – 2 tbsp low fat Mexican mixed cheese
- - cooking spray
- - Bake-able bowl (example: Corning Ware)
Directions
1. 1. Spray bake safe dish with cooking spray.
2. 2. Crack egg whites into a bake safe dish.
3. 3. Pre-steam the broccoli so that it is soft and easy to cut up. I usually just toss it in the microwave in a covered glass dish so its easy to steam.
4. 4. Chop or mash up proccoli and add to the eggs in the bake safe dish
5. 5. Also add the peppers and feta cheese.
6. 6. Stir up these ingredients and top with the 2% Mexican mixed cheese (optional).
