Margherita chicken pasta

This is a #cleaneating healthy alternative to pasta.  I love spaghetti squash. Hope you enjoy!


-grilled chicken 
-fresh basil
-kalamata olives
-1 roma tomato 
-1 tsp olive oil
-1/4 cup of spaghetti squash
-salt, pepper, garlic to taste

*for my grilled chicken, I always cook a big batch at the beginning of the week and chop it up ready to serve.  I simply use salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic. 

*for the spaghetti squash, I cut it in half, placed it on a cookie sheet and baked it at 400 degrees.  About 30 minutes...test it with a fork...if you can scrape it out easily and it looks like noodles, you good!

If you're doing the #PiYo meal  plan, this is one serving grains, 2 healthy fats, 1 protein, 1/2 veggies.  
If you're doing the  #21dayfix meal plan, it's 1/2 green, 1 red, 1 yellow, and one blue.

Avocado egg salad

Okay! In general I do not care much for eggs.  However, since they are such a great source of protein I try to make them delicious (duh) so I will eat them more.


*2 tablespoons of avocado
* 2 large hard boiled eggs, yolks removed
*1 slice turkey bacon, chopped
*1 slice Ezekiel bread, toasted
* handful of arugula 
* salt and pepper to taste

Take the egg whites, avocado and bacon and fork mash in a bowl.  Salt and pepper to tast...sometimes I add balsamic vinegar... Top toast with arugula, then egg mixture.  Serve with side of fruit.

**If you are currently following the PiYo meal plans, this would be 1 serving protein, 1 healthy fat, 1 secondary/grain, 1 serving fruit, 1/4 serving primary veggies..roughly

Watermelon basil salad

One of my favorite treats for dessert!
-diced watermelon
-handful on basil, chopped
-1 teaspoon of chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste

Simple and delicious.  Enjoy!
