Here is the recipe with a minor modification, followed by the breakdown of how it fits into your a Lean & Green meal.

Curry Chicken Stir Fry

I love accidental recipes that turn out to be super yummy! Some of my favorite meals have been “mistakes”. This latest one is all because I cut my chicken up into 1 inch cubes before reviewing the recipe I planned to make and realizing that it was not supposed to be cut until after baking it. … Continue reading

Beef & Veggie Soup

I’m making a brand new, from scratch recipe tonight. In previous posts, I would have referred to this as “Refrigerator Goulash”. But, in the past, I also would have added a whole slew of unhealthy ingredients to make it extra tasty. This is definitely one of the simplest ones I’ve thrown together in a while, … Continue reading

She kind of cracks me up when I feed her pizza, because if I put anything but veggies on top, she’ll pick everything else off … Continue reading

Who knew??

Before changing the way we were eating and eliminating most of the processed food from our daily diet, there were so many foods that I thought I didn’t like. But now that I’ve re-trained my tastebuds, it’s amazing how many … Continue reading

Sun-Dried Tomato Shrimp Salad

I just have to admit up front … I can claim absolutely NO credit for this recipe. It is from the TSFL Lean & Green Cookbook. But it was so yummy that I just had to pass it along. If you are following this program and don’t have this recipe book yet, you really should … Continue reading

Cabbage casserole

So, this is a little late, but figured I’d post my new St. Patrick’s Day cabbage recipe. We really enjoyed this, and there are so many variations you could do to make it fit your lifestyle. As usual, I changed it up from the recipe I originally stumbled across, mainly in an effort to get … Continue reading

Spanish Crockpot Chicken

I am all about making my life as easy as possible. And any meal I can make in the crockpot qualifies as just that! I adapted this recipe slightly from getskinnybehappy.com. The recipe as I found it only called for enough veggies for 1 person, but there was enough chicken to feed 3 or 4 … Continue reading
