Quick and easy Brunch pizza #recipe: naan bread, lemon ricotta spread, 🍳, cappola, and fresh arugula. — I love naan bread! It’s a staple in our house. It’s a great sidekick to curries, but we use it as an alternative to pizza dough. You can find naan at most grocery stores like @traderjoes @wholefoods and @safeway. — This morning I was craving something brunch-like but not super heavy and I wanted something fresh on the palette. Ingredients: 1 naan bread from #traderjoes 1 tbsp skim ricotta 2 slices of cappola or any left over charcuterie (this is totally optional, but makes it a little #bougie just the way I like it) Zest from half a lemon + juice 1 🥚 Handful of arugula Pepper to taste Red chili flakes — Directions: 1. Toast naan and cappola in the toaster or oven for about 5 minutes to heat up. 2. Mix ricotta, 🍋 zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl. 3. Fry the 🍳. 4. Spread ricotta over toasted naan. 5. Top with the egg, cappola, arugula. Sprinkle with pepper and red chili flakes. Enjoy with your pinky up. 💁🏽‍♀️ #gofitjo #gofiteats #whatsonmyplate #brunchideas #healthyish (at Castro Valley, California)

When life gets complicated, meal prepping becomes simplified. I stumbled upon @justget.fit’s meal prep post today where she talks about 3 levels of meal prepping that’s best suited for your lifestyle. When I started my health journey I went balls out. I prepped every single meal, protein shake, and even my BCAAs and preworkout just so that I didn’t have to think about it during the week. Things were lined up and ready for me to throw into my @6packbags and I was ready to go. Over the course of the years I’ve really focused on meal prepping in a way that works for me based on that week. For example if I have a lot of social gatherings that revolve around meals scheduled in my calendar, I’ll lighten the meal prep and maybe only prep two meals out of the five that I normally make. If my schedule is more consistent, doesn’t include a whole lot of travel or outings, but still really packed with work for family events then I prep every single meal including my dinners. 〰️ There’s no right or wrong way of meal prepping it truly is based on what works for you and helps you bring ease into your healthy living. 〰️ #whatsonmyplate is a 4oz. tilapia marinated with an olive/tomato tapenade, over 4oz grilled asparagus, and 1/2 cup of coconut rice. Believe it or not this is a very similar meal to what I used to cook when I was in #compprep. I’ve always believed that eating healthy doesn’t mean it’s boring and you can bring some culinary touches into it so you don’t feel like you’re eating Tupperware meals daily. I also love to take my measured and Tupperware prepped meals out of their containers and plate it to make it feel like I’m eating something from a restaurant. It feels fancy AF and I like it like that. 🤷🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️ #doyouboo #gofiteats (at San Francisco, California)

Last night I was all pumped up for @alexia_clark’s Friday #queenteam challenge workout, but this morning my body was like “NOPE 👎🏾, you’re doing the most and wearing me out.” Woke up this morning with a sore throat and stuffed up nose. 🤧😷 And I’m like “ughhh WTF FML why...🤦🏽‍♀️” I rarely get sick these days unless I’m under a lot of stress and well moving is one of those things that cause stress. 〰️ So I got up made a refrigerator quiche/frittata aka use whatever leftovers are in the fridge to whip up some fancy ass breakfast and call it a day. 💁🏽‍♀️ #whatsonmyplate: quiche-tata with a quinoa crust, @organicgirl super greens, and goat cheese. 😋 I also made a pear/apple smoothie with @organicgirl’a clear greens tea. See my quiche-tata on #IGstories. 〰️ Quinoa Quiche-tata #Recipe: 6 egg whites 2 whole eggs 2 handfuls of @organicgirl super greens 3/4 cup of cooked quinoa 1/8 cup of goat cheese - 1. Take cooked quinoa and warm in a @lodgecastiron skillet or any other oven safe pan on medium/low heat. 2. Mix all eggs in a bowl with a little salt/pepper. 3. Layer @organicgirl super greens on top of the quinoa. 4. Pour eggs into the skillet. *do not mix it into the quinoa green mixture. The quinoa acts as a crust. 5. Toss in goat cheese. 6. Throw into the oven at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. 〰️ Pear green tea smoothie recipe: 1 sliced pear 1 sliced apple 1 bottle of @organicgirl Moroccan mint tea 2 handfuls of @organicgirl super greens 1 cup of ice A squeeze of 🍋 - 1. Throw it all in a @vitamix or blender and voila. #lettucehydrateyou #organicgirl #sponsored 〰️ If you end up making it let me know what you think.

I prepped a ton of meals yesterday and got home and the hubs looks and me and says, “wanna tuna melt with @daveskillerbread?” 🙋🏽‍♀️ How can I say no to one of my favorite childhood foods. 🤤 I upgraded it to make I️t more #adultish and slid in slices of 🥑 and jalapeño in it and plated it on a bed of @organicgirl greens dressed with @braggsacvhealth Hawaiian Island dressing and a sprinkle of feta. 😋 〰️ It’s been a while since we’ve played #whatsonmyplate. So tagging a few people to play. I’d love to know what your munching on today, care to share? #gofiteats (at San Francisco, California)

🚨PSA: I’m that weirdo who’s #mealprepping salmon at 8AM. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I made a FREE meal prepping guide earlier this year with very simple and easy to follow recipes. (link in bio, if you want I️t) 〰️ I try to follow very simple rules when I️t comes to eating healthy. 1️⃣ Keep it simple, so you can keep it. Don’t overcomplicate it. This rule applies to everything in life! 2️⃣ No bullshit. Focus on incorporating real healthy foods into your daily nutrition with the occasional 🍷, 🍕, 🍜, whatever your little heart desires. They key is to NOT restrict your body from foods, that’s when destructive eating habits can form. 3️⃣ Don’t be an asshole to your yourself. Enjoy life. Don’t be mean to your body, by feeding it and your mind, food that doesn’t fuel you properly. I’m referring to things both on and off your plate. 〰️ I don’t ever do wellness tip Wednesday’s, but since it’s Wednesday...here’s your #wellnesswednesday. 〰️ #recipeidea #gofiteats @fourthandheart #partner #fuelhappy (at San Francisco, California)

One of the things I love about being back home is being back in my kitchen cooking meals for the ones I love. This morning I woke up to reality: kids misbehaving, a suitcase full of clothes that need to be put away, homework, and work both calling for my attention. But my heart and belly was craving for one more Mexican breakfast so I decided to whip up a quick and easy #chilaquiles for the hubs and I with a side of fresh juice courtesy of @juicecolg. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recipe is on the blog for this quick and easy chilaquiles and 🍳15 minute meal. FYI: Hubs said this is one of the best breakfasts I've made for him. 🙌🏾#linkinbio #gofiteats #brunchtime #homecookedmeal (at San Jose, California)

QUICK + EASY Panang Thai Shrimp curry over @nonalimfoods Laksa Rice Noodles for lunch today because I only had 15 minutes before I exploded over hanger mixed with sisters being sisters (aka my daughters) 🤦🏽‍♀️ #motherhoodintheraw ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recipe: 1 bottle of red panang curry by @traderjoes 1 package of @nonalimfoods Laksa Rice Noodles 1lb of raw shrimp 1/2 cup of broccoli 1 cup of red and yellow bell pepper mix Red chili flakes to taste ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Sautée shrimp in @fourthandheart California Garlic Ghee in a 5qt pot on medium to high heat 2. Add Red Panang Curry sauce in to pot. 3. Add vegetables into the pot, stir to mix, then lower the heat to low/medium and let simmer for 15 minutes. 4. While curry is simmering, blanch @nonalimfoods noodles according to package. 5. Serve curry over noodles and serve or meal prep for a really easy, light, and #glutenfree meal. (recipe serves 4) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love meals that take no longer than 30 minutes to cook and serve. As much as I love to cook, I don't have the time slave over the stove. Curries are some of my favorites to make and if you're not a seafood fan, swap the protein for something more up your alley. You can even serve this over 🍚 if you'd like. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are some of your favorite, quick, and easy recipes?!
