Meal Ideas

Breakfast
1: 1 Cup cottage cheese with ½ cup of chunk pineapple or mango. 1 piece of whole grain toast.
2: ½ Whole grain bagel toasted with a slice of turkey, tomato and cheese.
Snack
1: Protein smoothie.
2: Make your own trail mix with handful of walnuts, raisins and sunflower seeds.
Lunch
1: Chicken Salad. Mix ½ cup cooked chicken, handful chopped grapes, 1 T. lowfat mayo. Handful of whole grain crackers.
2: 1 Whole grain pita with turkey, sprouts, lettuce, tomato and a slice of cheese.
Dinner
1: Bake chicken breast at 350 degrees for about one hour with 1 ½ cups of a good low sodium tomato sauce. While chicken cooks, sauté one shallot, one cup chopped Brussels sprouts, one cup chopped asparagus, one cup chopped broccoli and one T. olive oil. Sprinkle in a generous amount of Trader Joe’s (TJ) garlic powder and 21 Seasoning Salute over veggies. Add in ¼ cup of chicken broth and let simmer until brown. Light sauce will form. Top chicken with veggie mixture and top with a sprinkle of feta cheese. Brown rice is optional. Water.

Water/Crystal Geyser Sparkling Lemon Water.

2: Bring pasta water to a boil and add one serving of whole wheat penne pasta, drain and transfer to pan (save 1/4 cup of pasta water). Add 1/4 cup chopped pearl tomatoes, fresh chopped basil, 1/4 cup of garbanzo beans. Then add some of the pasta water one T. at a time along with TJ's Organic low sodium chicken stock. Coat entire mixture. Garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Easy sprinkle of parm reggiano cheese over top. Water/Crystal Geyser Sparkling Lemon Water.

Any white fish (Orange Roughy, Halibut, Tilapia, etc.) in a bowl whisk Dijon mustard and any low fat/fat free Italian dressing. With a basting brush, heavily coat the fish on both sides with this mixture.

On a plate, mix Panko bread crumbs (I get Panko bread crumbs at Trader Joe's) & shredded parmesan cheese. Place fish in this mixture and coat really well on both sides. Then sprinkle both sides of fish with a multi-purpose all seasoning (TJ's 21 Salute Seasoning is great).

Place fish on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover with foil and bake in oven until crumbs have a golden look to them and fish feels done. Try not to over bake, fish will be dry. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top of the fish once on the plate.

Serve with a mixture of grilled veggies. Cut up any mixture you like (I like eggplant, zucchini, multi colored peppers, & red onion). Toss in some olive oil and then a bunch of balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Place in some foil and throw on the grill until veggies are crisp & done.

½ Cup brown rice.

looks like fun!

For those of you "stuck" for new burpee ideas! Brainstormed as many as I could think of, and holy jeebus... Makes my arms shake just thinking about it! :)

As always, stick with basics until you've got them down; these aren't for beginners! For those more familiar with basic burpees, it's time to step outta the box! Use a few of these ideas to play harder this week.

Might have to do an "ultimate" burpee guide with descriptions for each, but feel free to ask if you want more deets!

Craaaaazy. :)
