HI FRIENDS. it's been LITRALLY years since I posted on this blog! All it took was graduating from college for me to realize I don't have much of a life but the life I do live should definitely be documented. At the moment there's a few things I'm really passionate about. One of those things is quality television which includes but is not limited to: Keeping up With the Kardashians, Survivor, Married at First Sight, Parks and Recreation, American Horror Story and also Bob's Burgers. ALSO CHOPPED. I love watching people cook because I'm obsessed with food. So on this blog I've decided to post a few of my recent dishes! They are v simple but super delish. Here's number ONE:

ALL ABOUT SALADS AND GRILLED CHICKEN. This one is just a simple southwest salad. Some romaine, chopped red peppers, white and black beans, avocado when I have it, cheddar cheese, tortilla strips and a touch of jalapeno vinaigrette or cilantro dressing. I grill the chicken on the stove with salt & pepp and sometimes Old Bay. Super hearty salad! #2:

Stuffed red peppers. Oh. My. Goodness. These turned out a little rough because I cooked the quinoa on too high heat so it turned out a bit crunchier than anticipated but it would have been MONEY if I had done it right. So you cook the quinoa or rice in vegetable stock (1:2 ratio) and mix it in with ingredients of your choice. I put sort of a Spanish twist on mine so I added sweet corn, black beans, tomatoes and some chili and garlic powder along with cumin. I added a touch of cheddar cheese and then baked the peppers in the oven and added sriracha. So yummy!! And a pretty healthy option. #3:

I'm all about eggs. People can hate on them and say the yolk is high in cholesterol but let's not sit here and pretend that eggs aren't one of the best sources of protein around. I will literally eat eggs cooked any way but I absolutely love to cook them over medium with a touch of cheddar, parmesan or feta cheese. I usually make two for breakfast and put them on top of Ezekiel bread and then add BAGEL SPICE which is garlic/onion/poppy and sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are seriously life. This is a surprisingly filling breakfast/lunch option especially if you add spinach or other greens. #4:

Obviously I didn't make this and even though I try really hard to eat clean how could I not devour this entire plate of chicken and waffles? Answer: I did. I ate it all AND a bucket of bacon because I am so obsessed with bacon. #5:

Last but not least we have a totally classic meal by me. A very basic and sad grilled chicken breast (salt & pepp & Smart Balance Butter because I'm basic AF), grilled brussels sprouts (MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE!!!!), and a tomato and pepper salad. The brussels I bake in the oven with olive oil, s&p. For the salad I use grape tomatoes and red bell peppers with sea salt, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a touch of parm and feta. I put cheese on EVERYTHING. ~~~As you can see this is turning into kind of a health and lifestyle blog. I love positivity and healthy living and exercise. I try to work out 5-6 times a week and I almost always post a pic after :)
