Food and a cold

I've had to take the past 2 days off of my workout routine because I caught a cold. Boo!!!!! So not loving this. The good news is that if I rest for the next few days I should hopefully be back on Monday to start my next 21 day challenge! Wohoo! I'm totally going to focus on 4-5 days of Hammer and Chisel and then 2 days of Piyo. Good to mix it up a bit I think.

So my dear friend, Cherry asked me yesterday to give her some tips and easy recipes she could do to focus on her meal prep and nutrition. I've jotted down a few recipes that I've tried and liked. The prep usually takes me no more than about an hour. This will be to prep for about 4-5 days of lunches and dinners. It's really not that bad, considering I don't have to think about preparing food for myself for 4 days! It's honestly a treat to just pop it out of the fridge or lunch bag and be ready to eat with no hassle. Something a busy mama of 4 loves! Here are a few lunch and dinner options:

LUNCH OPTIONS:

1. Lettuce wraps with chicken, avocado, and feta cheese

(just use grilled chicken. Stuff a leaf of lettuce with any healthy veggies and grilled chicken) You can also sprinkle some homemade greek yogurt dressing

Greek Yogurt dressing:  1 1/3 cups of plain nonfat greek yogurt, 1 pack of hidden valley dill dressing mix, 3 TBSP.  of coconut milk or plain almond milk

2. Spaghetti Squash with olive oil,  sauteed mushrooms,  and lean ground turkey
