The Graham Holmburger:

Joseph and I started another Advocare 24 Day Challenge last Monday. It's been good for us because it's had me cook a bunch of delicious but healthy meals and we just feel better all around. This week, our schedule is a little mixed up and I'm having to work around some activities, so  plan to embrace the crock pot, meals that stretch and some tried and true meals  know I can whip up relatively easily.

For breakfast, I am making a Crockpot Casserole because Joseph and  want to sleep in tomorrow. Then, at the end of the week, we will be replacing breakfast with Meal Replacement Shakes (And we have Chocolate PB, GET IN MY BELLY!)

So, onto what we are eating, right?

Monday: Baked Chicken with Spinach and Artichokes, Mashed Potatoes
Tuesday: White Chicken Chili
Wednesday: Rotis Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Salad
Thursday: Shredded Beef over Lettuce
Friday: Sliders with Sweet Potato Fries

Last week we had:
Pork Chops with Apples and Onions w/ Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Asparagus
Chili with Potato Noodles
Turkey Chili
Meat Sauce with Zucchini Noodles
Fajitas!
Standing Rib Roast, Potatoes Anna, Asparagus

I'm about to make a bold statement: Everyone needs a spiralizer in their life. They are just nifty little gadgets that can totally mix up your meal time. (We have this one.)

This past week we spiralized sweet potatoes twice, once for hashbrowns and once for curly fries. And guess what, they rock! Of course, I had big plans to spiralize more things, like zucchini and apples BUT last week was pretty terrible, I got 0 sleep, allergies are acting up and I just wasn't feeling awesome. This week though, I'm determined to make ALL the delicious food!
So, what are we eating you ask? Because you did ask, right?

For Breakfast: Chocolate Peanut Butter Meal Replacement Shakes (da bomb. com), Southwestern Sweet Potatoes with Eggs, Cheesy Hashbrowns with Eggs

Snacks: Bananas, PB, Advobars, LaraBars

Lunch/Dinner: Swedish Meatballs with Zucchini Egg Noodles (yes, this was on last week's menu plan but that week just didn't work out). Pork Shoulder with Fennel and Cabbage and Apple Noodles (also from last week). Rotis Chicken with Salad & Mashed Potatoes. Chili probably over potatoes at some point.

Basically ALL the delicious food and using that spiralizer as MANY chances as possible.

What are you eating this week?

I don't know about you but I'm feeling a little overly stuffed from the holidays. I didn't think it was going to be that bad... but apparently the people in my life like to eat delicious food and share it with me.
Which is #neveraproblem.

Except for needing to refocus my attention to those pesky things called vegetables. Thank goodness Santa brought me a Spiralizer for Christmas and my mom got me a Spiralizing cookbook. So, its time to spiralize EVERYTHING.

So, want to know what I'm eating this week? It's going to be delicious!

Monday: B-AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shake, L- Asparagus & Ham Frittata, D- Shepherd's Pie
Tuesday: B- Fried Eggs w/ Cheesy Sweet Potatoes, L- Shepherd's Pie, D- Swedish Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles
Wednesday: B-Fried Eggs w/ Cheesy Sweet Potatoes, L- Swedish Meatballs w/ Zucchini Noodles, D- Rotis Chicken w/ Mashed Potatoes & Salad
Thursday: B- AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shake, L- Shepherd's Pie, D- No Idea!

So definitely healthy, hopefully delicious and a lot of spiralizing going on!  

Are you feeling a little bloated from the holidays, like me? What are you eating this week?

Timehop is one of my favorite apps. It's fun to get this daily dose of reminders of the past. A lot of them have centered around Emmy and it's bittersweet to see how much she has changed in the short time she has been with us. What else is fun is seeing old blog posts I've shared in the past, especially if they contain recipes that I made and then completely forgot about. My memory is a fickle thing.
This past week, my Timehop reminded me of a Crustless Chorizo Quiche I had made 3 years ago! This recipe is right up Joseph's alley so I knew I had to find it and we needed to have it. Even better is that Joseph and Emmy are on their own tonight, so I sent the recipe to Joseph to make for their dinner and for me to eat when I got home. So, without further ado, this is what we are eating this week:
