Healthy Meal: Chicken Chili

cooking / 5 Comments

This recipe was given to me a few years ago, when I was in college and went over to my friend Tyler’s house for a party. Tyler was a pretty good cook, and had made a whole pot of this chili for us to eat as we drank copious amounts of beer and played Kings. That particular house had a specific rule that if you drew one of the cards (I can’t remember which one now), you were doomed to be the Boxhead – which meant you had a beer case put on your head until the next person drew …

Healthy Meal: Kale Breakfast Smoothie

cooking, diet / 16 Comments

I mentioned that after running camp I wanted to start trying to eat cleaner foods. One thing I had at camp that was incredible is a raw breakfast smoothie. In a blender, combine:2 cups raw kale1 banana1/2 cup blueberries1 cup almond milk Blend until smooth. If desired, add flax seed. However, I’m going to be eating a lot of protein later, so I skipped it. Also, it’s better if you chill after blending, but I was impatient and ate it at room temp 🙂 Nutrition info:68 calories for the kale90 calories for the banana35 calories for the blueberries40 calories for …

Healthy Meal: Grilled Swordfish with Couscous and Salad

cooking, travel / 14 Comments

The rest of my time is spent in various hotel rooms with no kitchenettes or other cooking methods. However, I am sick and tired of the weight I’m gaining from eating out all the time and asking for steamed veggies and getting them drenched in butter “because I’m not allergic.” So how am I able to cook this meal? With a little inspiration from WikiHow, I’ll show you. First, a quick list of things I brought from …

Healthy Meal: Frank and Beans

cooking / 5 Comments

This weekend wasn’t really a good one for me cooking-wise. I was so looking forward to coming back and making yummy food, but I ended up being so busy that I actually didn’t cook almost at all! Thursday night for dinner I made tofu tagine, but I put too much turmeric in and it came out kind of gross looking because it was too yellow, so I didn’t take a picture or post it. Then Friday afternoon I made a quick healthy lunch of a grilled turkey burger patty and peas, but that’s not so much a recipe. Saturday I …

Grilled Pork Chop and Veggie Lentils

cooking / Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning for Easter, my mom made delicious almond biscotti and apple crostada. I helped myself to five of the biscotti (100 cals/each) and one piece of the crostada (250 cals). That was a pretty big breakfast! For lunch, I had just a turkey burger (plain, no bun) and a cup of steamed green beans. That put me just about on track for dinner, with 400 calories to “spend.” Not wanting to buy any food, I decided to make do with what I had in the cupboard, and so I went with this recipe. I had made this before with …
