Recipes from Liz's kitchen

Spicy Chicken Soup

1tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 tbl minced bottled garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cups of chopped skinless boneless Rotisserie (organic) chicken
1 tbl minced canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
(spicy, you can add less)
3 cans of chicken broth (I get organic)
14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes and green chilies
11 oz can whole kennel corn with sweet peppers drained.

Heat oil in large sauce pan over medium high heat. Add bell pepper, onions, garlic and cumin. Salute 4 min or so. Stir in chicken, chipotle, broth, tomatoes and corn. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 min.

Scrambled Egg Muffins

12 eggs
1/2 onion
1/2 or so of veggies (bell pepper, mushrooms)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese

Oven 350, lightly crease muffins tins. Scramble eggs and add in veggies 1/3 full. I add in turkey. Cook for 20 - 25 min. Don't forget the avocado!

Turkey Chili with Chipotle and Kale

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
1 onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic chopped (I use garlic in a jar)
2 bell peppers, 1 red, 1 green chopped
1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped using 1 Tbsp cause (very spicy so you can use less if needed)
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 28oz can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
2 14.5 oz cans pinto beans rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cups of chopped curly kale stems removed.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat, season turkey with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Cook until browned, 8 to 10 min. Set aside.
Heat remaining 2 Tbsp oil in same pan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until onion is tender about 5 min. Add bell pepper, cook until soft about 5 min. Add chipotle, adobo sauce, coriander, and cumin, cook about 1 min.
Stir in tomatoes, beans stock and turkey, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until flavors meld about 30 min.
Stir in kale, letting it wilt. Season with pepper to taste.

Enjoy!!!

Heard a great quote today... "I want to be MOM STRONG." Thought this was great and inspiring. We not only want to be strong for ourselves but strong for our children. Setting the example of being active and healthy. This is also true for all the amazing DADS! Also for anyone who does not have children - being strong for ourselves and healthy just makes life better!!

Go ORANGE Team!!! Keep showing up to those workouts and eating healthy!!

So members are always asking me ideas for healthy snacks. Here are my favorites. Nut Thin crackers (pecan are my favorite and gluten free) with hummus or sometimes with tuna mixed with Greek yogurt. I love the Siggis yogurt the vanilla flavor mixed with cottage cheese and I add in mixed nuts and eat it after my workouts. I found this awesome protein powder at whole foods and I mix it with almond milk. Enjoy!
