Eats: Breakfast Egg Nest!

I was watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood last night (like I always do when I'm home. Because I am a dork and I don't really have a social life... :D) and I was daydreaming about breakfast.  I had a left over portobello cap and fresh herbs from making my roomie's dinner so my mind drifted.  Then this popped into it.  I'm putting an egg in there and baking that trick.  So I did. And it was delicious. Grammar be damned. :)

Yup. That was the recipe and an atrocious butchering of the written word. 

Oh? What's next to it? An arugula and egg white omelette that has another over medium egg hidden inside so when I cut into it I can pretend like there is more to it that egg whites and greens. It's not cheese or bacon but it's still not hot air.

Meal 1 of my nutritional plan looks like this:
Two whole eggs
+
5 egg whites
(I can add veggies because they are good for me, my digestive system, and preventing fupas.  No one likes a fupa.)

Eats: Stuffed Chicken with Veggies and Cranberry White Balsamic Reduction

Hey Kids! :D
Here's a meal that I made my roommate. It's a clean eat, Well, it's a fairly clean "free eat."  If I was going to eat it, I'd have to adjust my fat intake throughout the day though. Also, I'd have to be carb cycling because of the fruit but my roommate is simply eating clean (and doing freaking awesome) so he can eat this and so can YOU. :)

Ingredients:
Chicken Breast (whatever your personal serving size is)
Veggies
1 tbsp Pesto
1 tbsp Sundried Tomatoes
1/4 diced Onions
1/2 cup Fresh Cranberries
1/2 cup White Balsamic Vinegar
1 sprig of Rosemary

Seasonings
Sea Salt
Cinnamon
All Spice
Mace
Chipolte Pepper

Directions:
Preset oven at 325
In a pan/baking tin/anything metal with sides put a tablespoon of olive oil, rosemary and sage. Pop that in the oven while you prep the rest....

**Before I cook my meat I like to make sure that it is about room temp.  I leave it out of the fridge for about 20-30 min.  This helps it to cook evenly and keep it from becoming tough from the temperature shock. Don't worry, you won't die, get sick or poop your pants. You'll just end up with better tasting food. Don't believe me? Well guess what? When you go out to a nice restaurant, that meat is at room temp when they prep your meal. I do the same thing with eggs.**
Anyways...

In a bowl add:
Pesto
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Onions
Stir and set aside

Slice your chicken lengthwise ad create a pocket for the filling.
Put filling in pocket
Sprinkle the mace, chipolte pepper, all spice, cinnamon and sea salt on both sides of the chicken.
Take your pan out of the oven and place your stuffed breast on top of the rosemary and sage. Be careful as the olive oil may be sizzling and could splatter on you (and that would suck because no one likes to eat mad.)
Make sure your stuffed part is facing up. Pop it back in the oven and leave it in there for 20 minutes. (I abhor dry chicken and I also rest my meat for 5-10 minutes when it comes off a heat source to a. keep it from drying out and b. it will continue to increase in temperature (or doneness) as it rests.)

As your chicken is baking you can make the sauce:
To a sauce pan add the white balsamic vinegar and cranberries. Bring to a boil and then immediately reduce to a simmer for 10-15 min. It will begin to reduce and get thicker.  I like mine kind of viscous so I will leave it on longer and when it is at the texture I want I remove it and set it aside. The cranberries will heat up and crack during this time releasing all of their juicy awesomeness.

You can do whatever you want to your veg. I used asparagus and broccolini then grilled them.

When your chicken is done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes then go ahead and plate your dish. Finish it by drizzling your sauce over and around it.

Now eat.

Enjoy!

Hey kids!
I'm feeling pretty vicious today! Ambition in overdrive! If I get upset about something I immediately try to channel that energy into something positive. By not giving the negative any fuel it can't grow or bother me and I can do something pretty freaking cool. You have got to love life. It helps if you have a soundtrack, too. :) Here is my jam for this moment:

What do you do if you feel you could fall into a funk?

Bucket Listing! Give me stuff to do!

Ohhh... The Bucket List. That list of things "TO DO" before you "die." Well, kids, dieing can be quite metaphorical. You don't really have to return to the compost heap to have a good list, you just need to set a deadline.
Mine is going to be a 6 month one. I am accepting dares... I mean suggestions and by the end of the week, I'll have the list up!  So... whatcha think I should do?

GAH! My fall banger is ready!!!

How HARD am I feeling for the new Calvin Harris track "Sweet Nothing" ft Florence Welch?
Like painfully hard.

Anyways, off to gym.

Crepes with Roasted Hazelnuts and Almond filling

I love to cook. I love to eat. I hate boring, uninspired food and I don't see why clean eating cant be just as enticing as any other delightful thing. So, I get creative in the kitchen!

I am on a keto style meal plan currently which means that I get to eat tons of meat and fat. Well, healthy lean proteins and healthy fats in controlled amounts plus tons of veggies.  Tonight I made egg white crepes filled with an almond butter spread and fresh roasted hazelnuts. It was so tasty!!!  

Let me know if I should post a recipe!

Cheers,
Fleur
