Teriyaki Kabobs

Finally A Food Post! 

It has been a while since I posted a recipe, mostly because all of my meals lately have been pretty basic and I have been working on getting the healthy eating down and now that I have a better understanding of nutrition and health I will hopefully be posting more foods. Now I am no expert and I am not a calorie counter so none of them will have calories and nutritional value information however I can say that they will be made with much more natural ingredients and much less sugar and little to know processed food. This also does not mean in any way shape or form that I am paleo I am just aiming to avoid processed garbage as much as possible and eat more organic although I realize the expense makes it hard those are just my general goals to eating. 

Now on to todays recipe is Chicken ( or steak ) Teriyaki Kabobs 

These were delicious! 

What you'll Need 

- 1 Package of Chicken (or Steak) 

- 2 Zucchini 

- 1 Green Pepper 

- Bag of mini potatoes

- 3 Onions

- Teriyaki Marinade 

- Olive Oil

- Salt or a seasoning

What to Do 

- First Chop up the vegetables in to manageable chunks 

- then add oil and seasoning to the vegetables 

- Marinate the Chicken for about an hour with Teriyaki Marinade 

- Then its time to stick it to em! 

- We first wet the Sticks this helps to keep them from burning too much on the grill it also puts moisture inside the stick to help cook through every thing. 

- while putting the meat and vegetables on kabobs be careful! I poked my self a few times and it was actually pretty painful 

- Cook them on the grill for about a half hour but be at the grill to watch them rotating to make sure that no one side burns and they are cooked through 

- Now enjoy! 

I really loved this recipe it was some work but it was worth it!

A day of Healthy Eating

For the past few weeks I have really been trying to eat healtheir and consistantly healthy throught out the day , yesterday I had a particularly good day of eating (probably because I was at school from 8:30 to 6:30 which doesn't leave much room for snacking) so I decided that I would go through what I ate. I came up with this idea because I was thinking about what snacks to bring for my day and I really struggled, so in this struggle I thought there must be other people who experience the same feeling. So here I am to give some of my snacks and meal ideas to those who are contemplating what should I eat today? 

Breakfast

8:00 AM

- 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites scrambled with some pepper

- 3 large strawberries 

Mid Morning Meal

10:00 AM

- Pear Chobani

and alittle abnormal psychology 

Lunch

12:00 PM 

- Spinach Leaves, half a cucumber, about a handful of low fat feta cheese, and low fat italian dressing

sorry the pictures blury

Afternoon Snack

2:30 PM 

now you may question my palette on this one

- Peanut Butter and Carrots 

I use JIF because they come in nifty little packs :) but I understand people may not be fans of peanut butter and carrots so if you want replace with your favorite carrot dipping condiment, or go just plain carrots which I do some days. 

Dinner

6:30 

- Stir fry with Chicken, Brown Rice, Zucchini, Red Peppers, and Teriyaki Sauce 

Hopefully you can take away a few ideas for you meal and snack plans, let me know if you like this idea/ style of posts in the comments below!

I love zucchini

So I am A huge!!! fan of zucchini it is probably my favorite vegetable and I will eat it any and every way possible. So last night while I was making dinner I decided that I would show you all one of my favorite ways to cook and eat zucchini. Now mind you I am in college and while I do live in an appartment I dont have a full fleged grill with me instead I have gods gift to non girll folk and that is a george forman and I can tell you that I use this thing all the time!!! because grilled vegetables are my favorite. 

First cut up the zucchini in to diagonal slices I try to make them thin because they cook faster that way but Im not a chef here so just slicing in a diagonal as best as possible works for me

After I cut the zucchini I put them in a large zipplock bag to which I add salt pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, and dried basil leaves

Now its time to shake!! I shake up it all in the zipplock back making zure that each peice of zucchini is getting coated

Then I lay them evenly out along the george forman and close the grill for about 10 minutes I check it periodically though because some of the really thin ones will cook faster 

Once they are soft and cooked through I take them off the grill and pile them on to my plate so this is my lovely dinner in total for last night I had breaded chicken that I baked the zucchini and potato wedges that I also baked if you would like a how to on either of those leave a comment below because I frequently cook them
