Mashed Potatoes -
I used to make my mashed potatoes with sour cream and butter.  This time around I substituted the sour cream for Plain Greek Yogurt.  You can't tell the difference.   PERFECT!  :)

Transformation Thursday

☆Transformation Thursday☆

These photos were taken in late February and early April after two rounds of the 21 Day Fix.

Was I perfect? No....
Did I workout everyday? No.
Did I eat clean all the time? No.


But guess what I did do...
I tried my hardest to make the right decisions.
I chose salads and wraps over burgers and chicken strips.
I drank as much water as I could each day.
I made time for myself to workout as much as possible.

For those challengers that know me, they know that I was dealing with a lot in my personal life with a new baby and a trashed rental house 200 miles away.

But... look!! I still had some amazing results and it gave me the fuel to keep going! I can't wait to see what two months of piyo does for me!

What is going to be the one thing that keeps you going??

21 Day Fix Approved : Cheesy Chicken Burritos

I saw this recipe on Pinterest.   It looked delicious.   I was NOT a fan.  After opening the cheesy rice and broccoli, it smelled terrible.

So it was time to improvise!

Here's our version of Cheesy Chicken Burritos



Ingredients:
2 servings - Brown Rice {Prepared per instructions}
1 - Chicken Bouillon Cube
4 - Whole Wheat Tortillas
1 - Chicken Breast, Shredded
Shredded Cheese
Homemade Salsa


I usually have shredded chicken already frozen in the freezer.  I make a lot at once so its ready for times like this.  If you have shredded chicken ready to go, I just warm it up on the stove with a little chicken stock so it doesn't get dried out.   If you don't have this, then you'll need to bake a chicken breast, then shred it. 

I start by making the rice per the instructions on the box.  While you are bringing the water to boil, put one chicken bouillon cube.  This gives the brown rice more a chicken flavor.

Once the rice is done, you are ready to assemble the burrito.  On the tortilla, put rice, shredded chicken, shredded cheese then some salsa on top.  Roll up the burrito and enjoy! 

It is now a family favorite.   My husband used the word "amazing" to describe his.   For something that we completely threw together, it was pretty damn good! 

Even Cooper loved it!

Biggest Fail of The Week:  BAKED ZITI.  It just didn't taste right.  I made the whole regular size batch, and froze half of it.  I'm probably going to throw it out.  Not a fan!   Not everything can be perfect, right??
