Quick Asian Week Night Dinner


Tasty + Easy + Quick = the PERFECT week night meal!!

Here's the run down on what I whipped up Thursday night.
And yes, it's as simple as it sounds! PLUS, this delicious concoction was 21 Day Fix approved!

First, I marinaded a trimmed flank steak for about 5 hours. I would have let it set for however much time I actually had, but I'd say it's needs probably 2 hours at least.

Here was my marinade blend. And no, I didn't measure anything!

Liquid Aminos
(a soy sauce substitute you can snag in some grocery stores OR via amazon!)
Agave
(you can use honey if you have that instead)
Garlic
Ginger
Red Pepper Flakes
Fresh Cracked Pepper

Next, slice the steak against the grain into evenly-cut pieces.
Meanwhile, heat coconut oil or vegetable oil up in a non-stick skillet over medium heat & cook sliced meat until browned on each slide.
Since I'm pregnant, our meat was WELL done.. sorry, hubby!

We decided to keep dinner low carb & opted to serve the meat with a steamed veggie stirfry (a pre-sliced frozen blend.. EASY). You could also serve with brown rice or quinoa, if you'd like!

If you really want to finish it off nice, top with sliced green onions, cilantro or toasted sesame seeds!

Bon Appetit, y'all!


Caprese Chicken: A Simple, Monday Night Meal


Yesterday I created a meal plan for the week & then broke it down into my grocery list. The hubby & I ran to the store and were out in a record breaking time of about 30 minutes- it's amazing how quickly you can shop when you mostly avoid the center isles! #truth

One of the recipes on our weekly meal plan is from a cook book I have called "Fixate," which is a compilation of 101 recipes that follow the nutrition plan I'm using with the 21 Day Fix (read more about that here). This super easy recipe is called "Caprese Chicken" and got two thumbs up from the hubby & myself for both flavor and quick preparation.

The recipe was simple. Fully cook two seasoned & trimmed chicken breasts. Top with pesto, sliced tomato & fresh mozzarella- allow some time over heat for the cheese to begin to melt. Serve with veggies &/or a healthy carb (like quinoa or brown rice). Yummmmmm!

Bon Appetit, friends!
