Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes!!

2012-11-20T13:12:00.001-08:00

It's that time of year again that most love and most dread.. Dread because it's when on average people can gain up to 20lbs during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why have all of your hard work this past year on getting healthy go down the drain? Of course I love the holiday's; the food, the fun, the social gatherings... But I am not willing to give up the food or my hard work. How about some alternatives to those favorite family meals? Here's what my menu will look like :)

Mid-morning snack attack :) Apples, cinnamon, pumpkin spice & stevia

Warm them up in the oven for 10 minutes at 350

Pecan Maple Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potatoes are another Thanksgiving tradition that can seem impossible to make healthy. Almost every recipe out there calls for cups of sugar and globs of butter... not to mention all those marshmallows on top!

Sweet potatoes are so good for you though it seems like a shame to write off this entire dish... why not switch a few things around and make this years sweet potato casserole something that feels as good for you as it tastes :)

6 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 Tbs. Cinnamon

1 tsp. Nutmeg

1 Tbs. Maple Syrup

1 Tbs. Olive Oil

1/2 Cup Almond Milk

---------------------------

1 Cup Pecans, (crushed or whole)

2 Tbs. real Honey

1 Tbs. Cinnamon

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in cubed sweet potatoes. Lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes have softened. Drain the sweet potatoes and place back in the pot. Add in the almond milk, maple syrup, oil and spices and mash or whip with a mixer until a smooth even consistency has been reached. Season with fresh ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt to taste.
In a bowl mix together Pecans, honey and cinnamon until the pecans are completely covered. If you want a more crumbly topping you may crush the Pecans using a food processor before mixing in the honey and cinnamon.

Coat a Baking Dish with fat-free cooking spray. Evenly spread the mashed sweet potatoes in the dish. Top with Honey Pecan blend. Place in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Ingredients:

5 sweet potatoes or yams (about 3 pounds)

Nonstick cooking spray

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoon Smart Balance or other light tubbed butter spread

2/3 cup apricot nectar

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and mist a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Put potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover them by 1 to 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch slices and add to the baking dish.
2. Combine remaining ingredients except nuts in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring. (Mixture will thicken.) Pour over sweet potatoes and top with nuts, if desired. Bake for 30 minutes.

MASHED BUTTERNUT CASSEROLE

Ingredients:

Nonstick cooking spray

3 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon

1 1/2 cups chopped sweet onion

1 tablespoon light whipped butter or light buttery spread (such as Brummel & Brown)

1/8tsp cayenne pepper

3/4 teaspoon salt

8 cups cubed butternut squash

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and mist an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cook bacon according to package directions until crispy, chop or crumble, and set aside. Mist a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add onion, butter, cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue stirring for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned and caramelized. Remove from heat.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add squash and cook 10 to 15 minutes, until very tender. Drain and mash in a large bowl. Add garlic, pepper, remaining salt, and cheese, breaking it into pieces and mixing well. Spread mixture evenly in the baking pan and top with caramelized onion and bacon. Bake until dish is hot throughout, about 15 minutes.

HOMEMADE CORNBREAD VEGETARIAN STUFFING

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 tsp white truffle oil

2 leeks, diced

8 stalks celery, finely chopped

1 celery root, peeled and diced

3 apples, cored and diced

1 cup chopped pecans

1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

1/4 cup sherry or port, divided

4 cups crumbled gluten-free cornbread

1 large egg, beaten (can omit for vegans)

Directions:
1. Heat olive and truffle oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add leeks and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring, until slightly golden. Add celery, celery root, and apple one at a time, cooking for 3 minutes after each addition. Add pecans, seasoning, salt, and pepper and sauté for 2 minutes to infuse the flavors. Pour in 2 tablespoons of sherry and cook another minute. Set mixture aside to cool for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place cornbread in a large bowl and mix in veggies, egg, and remaining sherry. Transfer mixture to a glass baking dish, cover, and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and brown for 10 more minutes.

WHOLE GRAIN FLAXSEED ROLLS

Ingredients:

1 cup water

1 cup 2% milk

1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoon)

1/2 cup ground flaxseed, plus 2 tablespoons

2 cups whole-wheat flour

2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

2 teaspoons salt

Vegetable oil cooking spray

1 tablespoon water

1 large egg white

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine water and milk and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, until slightly warm. Add sugar and yeast to dissolve and let stand 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup ground flaxseed, whole-wheat flour, 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, and salt together. Slowly stir dry ingredients into milk mixture to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, adding enough remaining all-purpose flour to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
2. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, then turn so all sides are coated with spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place that’s free of drafts for an hour or until dough is doubled in size. (To check, press two fingers into dough. If the indentation remains, dough has risen enough). Punch dough down, cover, and let rest 5 minutes.
3. Divide dough into 20 equal portions. Keeping them covered to prevent dough from drying, shape each into a ball. Place balls 2 inches apart on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and let dough rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Uncover rolls and cut a 1/4-inch deep “X” on the top of each roll using kitchen scissors. Combine water and egg white and brush over rolls. Sprinkle remaining flaxseed over top of rolls, if desired. Bake for 15 minutes or until rolls are browned on bottom and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

RUSTIC CRANBERRY SAUCE

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup fresh cranberries

3 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup water

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil

1/4 tsp course sea salt

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, until cranberries start to pop open and become saucy.

VEGAN MUSHROOM GRAVY

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided

1 cup chopped white onion

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

8 ounces wild mushrooms, trimmed and chopped

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme

1/4 cup merlot or other spicy red wine

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 tablespoons whole-wheat or spelt flour

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring 1/2 cup broth to a simmer. Add onion and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, until onion is translucent. Stir in mushrooms, rosemary, and thyme and cook another 2 minutes, until mushrooms release their liquid and start to become tender. Add wine and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining broth and bring to a simmer.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together tamari, yeast, and flour to form a thick paste. Add mixture to skillet a teaspoon at a time, whisking constantly to make sure paste dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Season with pepper and serve.

Rainbow Protein Cake

2012-11-19T05:55:00.001-08:00

As I’m sure you are aware, rainbow cakes are the fashionable thing in baking at the moment. Well to me that have too many carbs and fat so I have another option for you. Also I have replaced the artificial colors with natural alternatives.

This recipe makes 8 serves.

Ingredients:

4 egg whites
Pinch of cream of tartar

In a large bowl mix dry ingredients;

100g plain protein powder (unflavored)
150g brown rice flour
1/4 cup Natvia (or other natural sweetener)
1/2 tbsp baking powder

Preheat oven and two baking trays at 350F.

First in a clean bowl you want to whip egg whites to medium-stiff peaks;

Put in food processor or large bowl;

3 egg yolks
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup apple purée
200g natural yogurt
1/4 tsp molasses
1/2 tbsp honey
1/4 water
3 tsp vanilla bean paste

Mix on low speed until combined. Add in half of the dry ingredients and mix on low to combine, repeat with the rest of the dry ingredients. Add in the egg white mix and fold in.

Divide into 5 small bowls/containers so you can add the colors.

I used:

Blue – microwave some frozen blueberries to defrost and then squeeze with a sieve some juice.
Purple – microwave some frozen blackberries to defrost and then squeeze with a sieve some juice.
Pink – a little juice from tinned beet root.
Orange – carrot juice or purée.
Yellow- an egg yolk.

Pour each batter into mini cake/quiche tins that have been pre greased. Place the tins on the pre heated trays and bake until they are firm them touched in the center. About 15 mins. Leave to cool.

Once cooled, turn out from tins.

In a bowl mix the icing;

1 1/2 scoops protein powder
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 tsp Natvia
Enough water to make a runny paste consistency, like icing.

Layer the cakes, with the ‘icing’ in between each layer and then put in the fridge to set it.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Blueberry Cakes and Mini Omelette

2012-11-18T11:53:00.000-08:00

Well I'm back to my pumpkin fetish! I also got a little bored today and wanted to test a few recipes out on my kids!! (love my Guinea Pigs!!) and this one was a big hit! With Thanksgiving being this Thursday, my goal is to eat as healthy as ever and not give into the temptations! This will be on the breakfast list for the morning for my family!

Whatcha need for the cakes:

3 egg whites

1/4 cup old fashioned oats

1/8 cup buckwheat (I used Eden Organic Buckwheat, but you can actually make this without the buckwheat. Just use about another 1/4 cup oats instead).

1/4 cup canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling!)

1/4 cup frozen blueberries

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (more or less to taste)

1/2 tsp good quality 2x strength vanilla extract (or 1 tsp regular strength)

2 - 3 droppers liquid Vanilla Stevia (or plain, just add a bit more vanilla then)

dash cinnamon

First, blend your oats and buckwheat (or just oats) into flour. I used a simple Bullet blender to do this. I left it slightly chunky, cuz’ that’s just how I do : )

Lightly spray your pan with spray oil and pre-heat it on med to med high heat.

Put your freshly made flour in a bowl and mix in 3 egg whites, your canned pumpkin, blueberries, spice, vanilla, Stevia and cinnamon. Beat together well with a fork.

Pour your mixture onto your pre-heated pan and cook both sides until lightly brown and cake is firm in the center.

Makes 2 cakes.

Whatcha need for the mini omelette:

1 egg white

handful spinach

green chili

I had an egg white left over so I made a mini omelette with it. Preheat your pan (lightly sprayed with spray oil). Plop in your lonely egg white. Toss a handful spinach in and throw a few tablespoons green chili in there and fold it in half and call it an omelette. Easy peasy. Feel free to adjust amounts as needed based on your macros!

Sweet Potato Brownies

2012-11-13T17:07:00.002-08:00

Alright, are you ready for this healthy recipe?!!! You are going to think I'm crazy, but I promise you, you wont be able to tell the difference from the REAL thing from... Sweet Potato Brownies!

Now honestly, before you go off thinking I'm nuts, I have told you that with the holiday's coming up I am determined not to get the same old "Meagan, it's a family get together, can't you just give up this healthy eating just for once?!" Sorry Grandma, it's not happening!! I have worked too hard and come too far to get to where I am today and I know that if I indulge, I may go back to old habits! Now maybe you have more willpower than I do, but if I can bring several dishes that no one will know that they are healthy, I can focus my eating on those particular dishes without anyone questioning a thing except, where can they get a copy of that DELICIOUS brownie recipe!! hehe :)

INGREDIENTS

Cake

1 ripe avocado
1 cup sweet potato puree*
½ cup unsweetened applesauce

In a large mixing bowl, mix together with a whisk the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
Add sweet potato mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
Fold in walnuts and transfer to your prepared pan. Spread batter evenly and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out almost clean.
Set brownies on a wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes.

2012-11-13T08:12:00.001-08:00

I want to take the time for 2 more shout outs to my girls that just completed my TurboFire Challenge! Both drank Shakeology each day and followed the nutritional plan!

“Thank you so much for helping me! The Challenge Group is exactly what I needed to get the motivation and finish strong in the program!” ~Lina

This is one turbo Mom! Kelly C. who lost 101 lbs with Turbo Fire and Shakeology. "After the birth of my daughter and postpartum depression, I found myself at my highest weight, over 250lbs! My entire body hurt and I needed to change not only for me, but my daughter. The last thing I wanted was for her to grow-up thinking it was normal to hate the way you look. Shakeology made a world of difference. No doubt, it was one of the keys to my wearing a bikini for the first time in my life!"

Challenge Group Testimonial

“As you know the P90X program is one I have done in the past but never finished. I’m loving this support system. It makes me feel accountable and I am more consistent with my nutrition and exercise. This time I know I am going to finish it! Did I tell you my brother in law is doing the workouts with me? He was over weight, sporting “the gut” and now I can see it disappearing! He doesn’t have Facebook or a computer to work with so I didn’t tell him about the challenge group… but I am holding him accountable (we are in it together since day one of your challenge group), he hasn’t missed a workout! I can definitely see a positive change in him! He had medical depression and would always sleep and not do anything for himself, always feeling negative… and I can’t tell you how much of a change I’m seeing in him. Even my sister tells me he is much more active around the house and he seems to have a better spirit and outlook! He hasn’t taken measurements or weighed himself since the initial weight and measurements but today is the day he’s gonna measure and weigh himself… I can’t wait for the results dude! I know he’s lost about 20-30 pounds just by looking at him. As you can probably tell, I am more excited about his results than about mine. It reminds me of your starfish story. “It mattered to that one!”. What you do, your progress not only financially but also physically and mentally, is a true motivation for me. Thank you.” Jazi Vega

Healthified BLT Burger

2012-11-09T07:39:00.001-08:00

Honestly, who said a BLT had to be unhealthy?!

Though you might be tempted to try to save money by buying 93% lean ground beef instead of 96% lean, don't. Though they don't sound very different, 93% lean has almost twice the fat of 96%. One four-ounce serving of 93% lean has about 180 calories and 8 grams of fat. The 96% lean has 150 calories and only 4 grams of fat.

4 strips extra-lean turkey bacon, each cut in half

1 pound 96% lean ground beef

4 whole grain or whole wheat hamburger buns, split

1 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves

4 large or 8 to 12 small thin tomato slices

4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise

Preheat a grill to high heat.

Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon strips. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until crisp. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.

Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and shape into balls, packing them tightly as you do. Press each into a patty that is about 1Ú2" larger than the diameter of the buns.

Grill the burgers for about 2 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness (do not smash the burgers with a spatula). Place the bun halves, cut sides down, away from direct flame on the grill until toasted, about 20 seconds.

Place each toasted bun bottom on a plate. Top with the spinach, tomato, patties, then 2 pieces of bacon each. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise evenly on each bun top, flip atop the patties, and serve.

Indian Chicken Salad Pocket

2012-11-09T06:44:00.001-08:00

I know what is for lunch today!!!!! This is an Indian Chicken salad Pocket. Just the way the low-fat mayonnaise is mixed with the stronger flavors to give it the richness of full-fat mayo is amazing!!! I coupled low-fat mayo with curry paste (you can find in the international aisle in most major grocery stores). You don't want to go crazy with these pastes in other dishes if you decide you like it, 1/2 tsp will do it for you!!

Ingredients:
1-1/2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon curry paste

1 teaspoon lime juice

3/4 cup (4 ounces) chopped grilled chicken breast

1-1/2 tablespoons seeded, chopped cucumber

1-1/2 tablespoons chopped red onion

1 whole wheat pita (6-1/2" diameter), cut in half

2 leaves green leaf lettuce

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, curry paste and lime juice. Whisk to blend. Add the chicken, cucumber and onion. Mix well. Spoon the mixture evenly into the pita halves. Add the lettuce.

P90X Round 2!

2012-11-08T07:39:00.000-08:00

As many of you know, I have started a second round of P90X. It is crazy of how far I have come since the last round last January. Last year when I first started this (overweight mind you), I couldn't do more than 5 standard pushups let alone even complete other pushups such as military and diamond.... We wont even touch base on the dive bomber pushups!!! It took 45 days for me to even build enough strength to do the workout without modifying every move! I still couldn't do a whole lot of pushups even at that point. Now a little over 9 months later, I had restarted P90X. I am able to do 30 pushups easily in all areas. I have done Insanity, Brazil Butt Lift, TurboFire and a few programs over the summer that I tossed in when I could, and now 70lbs lighter, I am back at my second round of P90X. It has been a long process, but it has become a lifestyle. I have talked to many people who are scared to start a program because they don't think they have the endurance or strength to push through. It's a mindset. I am able to do 30 plus pushups and am only getting stronger now.

The one thing that I can promise is that the challenge groups I run is what helped me start this whole journey. Most think "What can this honestly do to help me?" It has been proven when you surround yourself with like-minded people working towards the same goal, you will keep pushing through. When you have the support and tools to succeed and a coach to help answer your questions and keep you motivated, you can do what you think is the impossible. Am I an expert? No. I worked at a gym for 4 years thinking I knew everything; I didn't. I had no idea what to do with the equipment that was offered to me free of use! After having 3 kids and being a stay at home, I thought it was easy to pop in a program and workout at home. Thing is, nutrition plays a huge role in the weight loss department. It's confusing and frustrating. When I started P90X last year, the only way I got through it was doing a Challenge group to push myself with others and had all the tools available to me on what I was really supposed to be doing.

When I have people come to me saying it's too expensive, it really boggles my mind. How is it expensive? You get the program of your choice, the Shakeology and a club membership to Team Beachbody where you can schedule your workouts and have meal plans created to tailor your needs!! How much would you spend if you were going to go to a gym, pay for a membership, a personal trainer to tell you what to do and a nutritional specialist to create your meals for you?! A lot!! If you didn't go with a personal trainer and a nutritional specialist, you still just paid for a gym membership with a lot of options of equipment, but if you don't know how to use it properly and create a game plan to see results, you aren't going to get very far. The other route is to study and research what to do at the gym, but that's time consuming. If you want to do something now and achieve your goals, this is the best deal for you! Shakeology is something I drink daily. Why? It's the healthiest meal of the day (look at the ingredients), it curves my cravings for sweets and has helped me lose a ton of weight alone!! It comes out to $3 a day (I can help you get the 25% discount) and in all reality, I was paying more for my coffee that I was addicted to and medications I was on in the past for kidney infections and my breakfast alone in the past costed more than $3! I did go on Shakeology at first knowing there was the bottom of the bag guarantee where I could get my money back, but after being on it for months now, I will never consider going off. I hate veggies and this makes the process so much easier because I am getting it in Shakeology! With that being said, the lowest Challenge Pack is $160, look what all you get with that?!

Now back to the programs. When I started last year, I thought I would give it my all for 90 days and if I could reach my goal weight, I would quit and go back to eating whatever I wanted. Obviously that didn't happen because it was a snowball effect on my results and I couldn't stop! I just kept losing more weight and toning in areas that I thought were impossible. Seriously, I had 3 kids!! I never thought I could have the stomach that I have now! I never even thought it was possible to have this stomach in high school! The depression has subsided and I can now run around with my kids and for once be happy with who I am. Isn't that what we all want?!

Again, I'm not an expert and not a personal trainer. All I know is what has worked for me and my progress that I have made with these programs. There are many coaches out there that just want to say they are coaching someone. Not me. I could care less if you buy a program from me. I just want to help you achieve your results and be there as a friend and encourage you every step of the way. I want to make sure whatever workout program you have is not going to end up on the shelf and sit there collecting dust. It's no fun sitting there every day wishing that some magical pill will land in your hands and change your life. If I can do this, so can you! I never thought I could do 30 pushups. I never thought in all honesty I could do 2! If you want my help, you have to let me know so I can talk to you and come up with a solution to get you on the right track.
