A Kitchen Adventure - Meal Prep Monday, Fixate, and 6 Recipes

Its Meal Prep Monday. I know what you are thinking, This girl is in the kitchen WAY more than anyone who hates to cook is in the kitchen. I'm surprised too. But there are 2 very good reasons for this! First, I need to prep my week to make sure that I stay on track. Second, I just got the cookbook I have been waiting for!!! Fixate is the new cookbook by Autumn Calabrese and it is full of healthy meals, 101 of them to be exact. Of course I'm going to test some out this week.

While there are a lot of recipes in this book that I want to try for breakfast, I'm leaving them for my weekends when I have more time. Things like chicken and waffles (yup, that will happen), chocolate crepes, and omelets. As normal, I prepped some oats for Monday - Friday (cuz I love them and they make me happy and fill me up).

Snacks will include my usual Shakeology (and yes, I have some new recipes to try with that too), and fruit.

The main events? Open faced meatball sub and mac n cheese with broccoli and chicken. Oh yes, this book has HEALTHY MAC N CHEESE! (I did green beans since broccoli and I are not friends.)

What stunned me was there are recipes for cake, cookies (raspberry-filled cookie bites that will happen too), and skinny cocktails. Everything in moderation and you have a healthy balanced diet. For me, who kept making the same foods, it is a game changer. Especially since they are easy and require little work. Want a few samples? Click HERE. Pineapple chicken skewers are on my to do list along with zucchini chips and ice cream (Yes ice cream).

As you can imagine it works well with 21 Day Fix. It also works great all by itself. If you want to get your hands on this cookbook, let me know and I will help you. Just send me a message.
