Mexican: Carne Asade

Seriously I could eat Mexican every night of the week!! There is just something so fresh about Mexican food!!!! Soo good!!

You will need:
1 small onion
6 limes (squeeze juice into the crock pot)
Cumin
Chili powder
Jalapeño (the amount you put in just totally depends on your taste buds. I have a jar of sliced ones in our fridge, I added about 10).
Beef bottom roast

Add all of the above ingredients to your crock pot. I cook mine for 12 hours.
Add whatever toppings you wish: cheese, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, tortilla, etc.

Enjoy!

Honey Sriracha Chicken

If you have read enough of my posts, you know I go for simple. One day I was looing in the pantry and fridge to make a new combo for chicken. We eat chicken at least once a week over here. So variation of it is key to not get bored!! I have no measurements on what I used. I just kind of kept mixing it until the spice was just right.
I used:
~ honey
~ soy sauce
~ minced garlic
~ sriracha sauce
~ red pepper flakes
~ package of chicken

I mixed the first five ingredients until I liked the taste. Threw the chicken in the crock pot...poured the mixture over it. Cooked it on low for about 8 hours. I served over jasmine rice. It was yummy!

Definitely a yummy shake! One that will have to go into my rotation!



Garlic Lemon Chicken

This was such a delicious smell in my house (esp. after working with 19 5/6 year olds...and a car ride with three boys..LOL).

Again simple ingredients....simple prep...simple execution to the table!! Win Win.

Ingredients:

~ 4 lemons

~ 1/2 cup of chicken broth

~ 1 envelope of Italian seasoning

~ Garlic to your tasting

~ 1 packet of chicken breasts

Throw it all in the slow cooker. Cook for 8 hours. Shred the chicken breasts.

Serve with whatever sides you like (I just did a salad).



Some coaching confessions

I <3 to work out. Is it hard getting up at 4:20 or 5 every weekday morning to work out? Heck yes it is.
I have days just like everyone else. There are mornings I sleep in instead of getting up. Do I feel guilty? Sometimes. But I know I am not perfect. I don't beat myself up. I keep looking forward. I want to get results so I keep on working it.
Also, I have been eating pretty healthy. But every once and awhile I'll have a little cheat. On Saturday I really had a cheat. It was so tasty. Everything in moderation is okay...just do not make it a daily habit!!
