Sunday Dinner...

I love to blog stalk and I spend most of my time stalking about food! Obviously

This Sunday I am planning on having a couple friends over and I have planned a menu thanks to the lovely food bloggers out there

Chicken Pesto Panini by Redhead Recipes

Zucchini Fries by Eating On the Cheap

Hopefully, this will turn out great!

Coconut Banana Nutella Shake

My new summer treat. Enough said.

(as you can see, I took a sip before I took the picture... couldn't resist)

Coconut Nutella Shake

3/4 cup lite coconut milk
3/4 cup almond milk
1 large banana
2 tbsp Nutella
1 tsp cardamom
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cocoa powder

6 cubes of ice

Blend all ingredients in the blender for a couple minutes. Enjoy! Serves 2.

*Next time I may throw in some ice cream in place of the ice... to make it thicker! Yum!

Healthy Chicken Tacos

Once again, posting the food I eat from trying to eat better. I made these tacos the other night and I really liked them. There may not seem like there is much too them, but they really are delicious! I made this a serving for one so feel free to double, triple, etc. for it to feed however many you want!

Healthy Chicken Tacos

2 chicken tenderloins, cubed
1/4 avocado, mashed
4 tbsp salsa
1/4 c black beans, lightly mashed
handful of greens (I used the organic dark green salad mix)
2 corn tortillas, grilled

Spread avocado on the tortillas. Place in order: greens, salsa, black beans, and chicken. Enjoy!

60 Calorie Blueberry Muffins

I am on a very strict eating diet. I am trying to eat better and so I am only having baked goods if they are sugar free. I made these muffins the other day and I loved them. They definitely taste healthy, but they also taste really good!

60 Calorie Blueberry Muffins

1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c Splenda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 c plain non-fat yogurt
2/3 c water
3/4 c blueberries

Preheat 400 degrees. Combine and mix dry ingredients. Add water and yogurt, mix and add blueberries. Stir. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for 18 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

*I also sprinkled a little bit of Caramel Sprinkle (from Pampered Chef) on them. You could probably use cinnamon sugar too.

Cucumber Salad

I always seem to create things when I have an odd craving or I am in a rush and forgot I was supposed to bring something to a work potluck. Well, the latter is behind this creation. I went to the gym straight from work and forgot that I needed to be making something to bring to a little summer get together dinner! I am trying not to save money and I was already short on time so I had to think quick. I looked in the fridge and hoped cucumbers would work ha. Also, a friend of mine from work just found out she has Celiac disease, so I needed to come up with something that would be gluten-free. So...

Cucumber Salad

1 1/2 cucumbers
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 c feta cheese
1/4 c nuts, chopped (I chopped them myself to avoid any traces of gluten)
     *Any combination will work. I used walnuts and pecans.

Cut cucumbers in half, width wise, then cut in half again then quarter. Slice into quartered slices and put in a large bowl. mix in remaining ingredients.

* You can also add extra ingredients like lemon juice, tomatoes, avocados, etc.
