YUMMY IN MY TUMMY

What I ate was almost perfect. I cheated in a few areas, but nothing to crazy. I'm going to give you a nice menu version of what I ate today:


Breakfast:

1 egg
1/4 cup egg whites
2 small corn tortillas
dash of cheese
hot sauce

Make breakfast tacos!!

First, warm up the tortillas using a flat top and canola oil spray. Next, scramble the eggs. Toss in the tortillas sprinkle with cheese and hot sauce! Easy, delicious and the eggs are a great source of protein for an after work out breakfast. 

Drink:
 
1 cup frozen pineapple
1 thing of light yogurt ( I did cherry flavor today, but you can do pina colada, orange etc.)
1 tsp. vanilla protein shake 
Water
(Blend together and enjoy!)

Lunch:

1 Lean pocket
Banana

Dinner: Chicken Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

1 cup of Spaghetti Squash
Light Sweet Tomato Basil sauce
1/2 Chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces. 
Red Pepper Flakes
Pepper
Garlic Powder 
Garlic (for squash)
Butter (for squash)
Season Salt

Baked Asparagus.

Dessert:

1/2 cup of Chocolate Moose Track ice cream ( I know. I was naughty ssshhhh)


Cooking spaghetti squash is extremely easy. I have a great microwave method that frees up your time to worry about the other stuff. 

First, cut your squash in half and remove the inner seeds. Do NOT cut the skin in any other way. Also, cutting the squash is very hard. So get a really good knife and use your muscles.

Once you have it cut and cleaned out place one half  in a tight fitting dish cut side face-up. You don't want your squash moving around. Next, fill it with 1/2 cup water, then place the other have back on cut side down. You should have put the squash back together. 

Place in the microwave on high power between 10 to 25 minutes. Depending on the size of your squash. The way you can tell if it is done, when you touch it, it should be soft and the color should be a vibrant translucent  color. 

Lastly, drain whatever water is left, scrape with a fork, toss with butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic, or anything else you want or leave it plain.

Top with spaghetti sauce and enjoy!

For the chicken, I just tossed it with some red pepper flakes, garlic, and season salt. Cooked it till done and then added the sauce. 


Now is the really really good stuff!!! My asparagus has turned the most veggie hating people into mindless, asparagus craving fiends!! A.K.A my very very picky friends. (You know who you are, and you know I love you any way ;) ). 
 
First, you need to buy the slim asparagus. The fat stalks are nasty!!

Next wash and cut the ends of the stalk. 

Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Bake for 15 min. at 400 F.  Enjoy!!
