    OOOPS. I forgot to plan! | HHM Ep. 138

    Yes! It’s super true. I finally went live again on the HHM FB Page (facebook.com/groups/happyhealthymeals)! I’m trying a new thing — going live during the day. Taking a quick break while making either my breakfast or lunch (note the kid is NOT home to distract!) Make sure your notifications are on so you can see when to join in. This week I chatted about what to do when you don’t have a plan. For whatever reason, sometimes the weekend gets crazy nutty and you end up skipping the planning portion of your day only to realize on Monday that you have a fridge full of groceries that you have no clue what to do with! Yup. No shame. It happens to me too. What to do? Get organized! Figure out what you have and then decide the order you’re going to use it in, keeping in mind that you’ll need a lean protein, a veggie, and a complex carb at each meal, plus the healthy fat to cook in or drizzle over too. When I’m standing in the middle of my kitchen without a plan, here’s what I do: 1 - pick a cooking method or two, prep them 2 - choose my healthy cooking fat 3 - pick out two fresh or frozen veggies 4 - choose a lean protein (that hopefully is not frozen at this point!) 5 - choose a seasoning profile 6 - decide on a complex carb 7 - Chop, season, cook… enjoy! For example, the last random meal I made was tacos, of course. Because they are seriously my go-to meal. 1- Long sliced two colors of bell peppers + zucchini before seasoning with lime salt to toss in the air fryer 2 - Diced a red onion to sauté. Then added ground chicken to the skillet. I mixed in garlic, cumin + lime juice 3 - Warmed up a few tortillas while putting out hot sauce, jalapeños, and sour cream to add to the tacos upon serving I hope this helps you — knowing that it’s ok when you forget to make a plan — to keep making good choices even when you feel a little off. You know what? Some of the best meals I’ve ever made have been randomly put together at the last minute. So, don’t be afraid! Just stay calm and make a healthy meal. Message me or check out my Pinterest when you need help! Enjoy this episode. More to come soon. Love, Risa PS. Make sure to always have a good breakfast on hand with these smoothie starters. https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/us/d/caf-latte-plant-based-vegan-shakeology-SHKCafeLatteVegan?referringRepID=681607

    Just plain healthy -- Ep 137

    OHHHHHH it’s sooooo summery in my kitchen (slash in my life) still! You too? Or is that just So. Cal? OH my. This week I’m counting the days to see my dad in person (it’s been since January), I feel like my body is craving a little comfort in anticipation. So, a little bit of warm goodness is about to happen. Monday will be a crockpot night, I’m  adding a little prosciutto to a chowder. Might serve it cold though. Depends on how the day goes. I love that this version is a little lighter - it uses half and half instead of heavy cream. Tuesday - pizza night, gluten free style with some meatballs on the side. Top how you want to. Consider buying frozen meatballs to speed up dinner. We could live on Mexican food in my house. And, sometimes I crave chips so that means I have to choose between them and taco shells. This week, I’m choosing chips with enchiladas as squash instead of tortillas. Sometimes you gotta give into cravings - pasta has been calling - surround it in some fresh goodness to offset the heavy feeling it can bring on. I heart artichokes sooooo much. And, I love this idea of EBTB seasoning on chicken. Such a great alternate than how I usually use it, on toast or celery. SUGGESTED MEALS. Zucchini corn chowder / grilled prosciutto Eggplant pizza / turkey meatballs Lime cucumber salad / chicken + squash enchiladas Spinach salad / lemon + fresh pea pasta + salmon Artichoke salad / everything bagel chicken THANK YOU SO MUCH for listening!
