Favorite Oatmeal

I absolutely love Oatmeal, which is crazy because if you asked me five years ago, I wouldn’t touch the stuff. I had no clue what I was missing out. Oatmeal is a great lean carb that gives your body energy to do normal day activities or even more energy to workout. Carbs are great for your body, just make sure you eat the good ones, not the bad ones. I love old fashioned rolled oats, they are easy to make and turn out every time. I love my oats thick without any water or milk left in them. When you make them, you can make them runny by adding more liquid to them. 

When following the Fix Portion containers, I usually use two carbs for oatmeal in the morning. It helps provide the energy needed for the day after a good workout! 

Favorite Oatmeal

1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups of water
Dash of salt to taste

Optional Toppings
- tbsp. of PB
- tbsp. of chocolate chips
- dash of cinnamon to taste
- 1 cup of fruit


Boil 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan and add salt. When boiling stir in 1 cup of dried oats and turn down the heat. After ten minutes, take oatmeal off the burner, cover, and let it set for five minutes. Add toppings and enjoy!

Healthy General Tso Chinese

Image
Ever want Chinese but don’t want the guilt and bloat of ordering the buffet or an overloaded to-go order? My husband and I LOVE Chinese food but really don’t like the discomfort it brought to our bellies once we started eating healthier. When we lived in Fort Thomas, KY in the winter of 2016-2017, we CRAVED Chinese almost every day so we needed to find a healthier solution or we were going to reap the consequences of all the sodium, refined carbs, and high calories. We also needed something quick and easy to meal prep for lunches during the week. After lots of researching and trying different recipes, I found a great way to make this favorite Chinese dish at your home with friends and family. I looked online for recipes to make it homemade but never found anything that I liked or that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to make. I have made homemade sesame seed chicken, but it turned out too salty and I didn’t want that to happen also. So when shopping at Kroger, I found a Genera

Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole

Image
This is one of my all-time favorite dishes that I have created. It's a dish that I'll make for dinner to go with some pork chops or I'll make it around the holidays to take to parties for dessert. This is a great fall dish but can be cooked all year-round for multiple occasions. Try it as a dessert or a side and let me know what your family thinks!  Ingredients: 2-3 medium sweet potatoes 3-5 apples (I used gold delicious once and it was surprisingly good!) 1 tbs olive oil 1 tbs lemon juice 2 tbs cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 cup of walnuts/pecans --topping and optional Directions: 1. Preheat oven at 350F. Peel the sweet potato and place it in the microwave with water to steam it. Then cut it up into cubes. 2. Wash and cut apples into cubes, sometimes I take the peeling off and sometimes I don't. This is usually a personal preference, so if you don't like the apple peeling, feel free to take it off. 3. Put apples and sweet potatoes in a bowl to mix wi
