Swole Bowl #2

The “Swole Bowl” in its name remains a concept and continues to show its versatility as such. In it’s glory the dish delivers great taste, and nutrition, and in the case of requiring to eat a lot of food in one sitting…manageability. The motive is to make a healthy and delicious protein packed meal based on what you have on hand. Now for the reveal! 

Salsa Mixed Tuna (Mix 1 can of tuna with Salsa and Hot Sauce)
1/3 C Black Beans
1 Large Sweet Potato (Baked)
Green Beans (Steamed)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Raw Garlic and Chopped onions
CILANTRO! 

Its very much an idea of combining straightforward food sources; like your vegetable, your fats(EVOO), your carbs (SP), and your protein (T), and mashing them all together so you get one solid, delicious bite with everything. The key is to flavour the bowl however you like, but for me personally…Salsa, Hot Sauce, Cilantro, Salt + Pepper… never fails!

Apple Pie Cottage Cheese. Amazing muscle building treat.

I highly recommend this recipe is at least tried by those who come across it. I love cottage cheese, and normally have it as a midday or late night snack. Fumbling around with some “dessert like” concepts in my head, I was in the mood for Apple Pie. And this recipe really hit my crave dead on. 

Recipe:

Cottage cheese
Apple (Cut fine) 
Walnuts 
Cinnamon & Nutmeg
Sweetener (I.e Truvia) 
Coarse Sea Salt. 

Mix all these together in a bowl…choose your serving sizes based on what you want your macro and caloric intake to be. And trust, the salt really brings all the flavours together. 

“Sweet” Potato Salad Meal

Don’t lie, anyone whose dieted has done something “Interesting” with their food; and when I want something sweet but also looking to get a lot of micronutrients in a meal, I bust out this salad.

Oven fried Chicken & Sweet Potato chips

Great dinner to change things up a bit.

Muscle Meal for Mom.

It happened to be Mothers Day yesterday, so I decided to cook her a special dinner. Panko Encrusted Chicken Breast stuffed w/ Spinach, onions, garlic, sage and grainy mustard. Topped with a Honey Mustard sauce and nestled on a bed of spiced Lentils. Happy Mothers Day mom! =)

The “SWOLE” Bowl – Muscle building Meal

At times where I find i’m feeling uncreative in the kitchen, but still want to receive my macros from primal sources of food, whipping up a SWOLE bowl is a nimble way to go about preparing a fare meal. Not only does it taste good, but the texture you get from this mashed up ensemble of flavours and ingredients renders a meal that is a cinch to eat. Develop a good pace and whofe down spoonfuls after spoonfuls of what is undeniably a big meal.
For this bowl particular I have:
150 grams chicken breast
2 Medium white potatoes
1/2 medium Avocado
Chopped Onions & Garlic
Salsa + Hot Sauce
Pinch Salt
Cilantro Shower.
Steamed Broccoli to get my greeens
Next time you got a bunch of leftovers, create your own bowl. Give it a try…just simplify your dish with a source of Carbs (I.e Rice, Sweet potatoes, Legumes, Quinoa, Oats, Etc). Pick a Protein ( I.e Chicken, Tuna, Shrimp, Chopped Steak, Ground poultry) add some fat from something like avocado, sour cream, Guacamole, seeds, peanut butter, butter, mayonnaise, or even simply a drizzle of olive. Add anything else to obtain the flavour your desiree (I.e Salsa for a little mexican flare, some BBQ sauce if that’s your thing, additional vegetables or spice) and “Voila”! Your got your self a number one GGBOT meal!

Chicken and Rice … Uncle Ben Style

Had a long day at work and than hit the gym once I got home. Really didn’t want to whip together anything creative or time consuming; so I appointed Uncle Ben to the kitchen table to make me a dependable satisfying meal. Some pre-cooked chicken breasts in the fridge, makes things so convenient, and topped it with some olive oil to step up the calories I am seriously lacking on today. A diet Dr. P to drink, and if I’m still hungry…. a bag of Thinsations Caramel Drizzle Popcorn. I’ve been craving some kind of caramel corn like treat lately, and these satisfy that void. If you got a similar craving for something sweet, chocolatey, and crunchy,…my recommendations to this product.

Mexican inspired meal – Burrito Bowl

Constructed my own “Burrito Bowl”. Awesome layers of Pinto Beans, Chicken, Avocado, Light cheese, and Salsa, all on some Romain and showered with Cilantro <3.

What’s for breakfast?

This is an example of pretty “Clean” breakfast.
2 Eggs + Egg Beaters + some spinach topped w/ Franks HS
2/3 C Quick Oats w/ Almond Milk and some stevia.
And I always include a Green Tea in my morning.
