Here is my lil one, she loves smoothies and milkshakes, So today she had a milkshake for breakfast, I used strawberries 🍓, one banana, milk. She was one happy girl.

Okay so today's Lunch was Full of flavor!! I made cilantro lime shrimp, with quinoa with corn and black beans, scallions, cilantro and a splash of lime. It was Amazing. I added a lot of garlic to the shrimp aswell. I seasoned the shrimp with this awesome seasoning blend, I found at Ralphs for $1.79 it's salt free and zero calories. (same as Ms Dash, which runs at about $4.00) It was healthy and delicious.

Today's breakfast! Once again a egg white scramble, this time I added broccoli and bell peppers, onion, garlic, tomatoes and spinach! Cooked in coconut oil! BIG FLAVOR! Yum!

Today's breakfast consisted of 3 egg whites, 2 mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, onion and garlic. Made it using coconut oil.. It was Delicious!! And filling. And it was only 186 calories. Yum!

This crock pot was a little gem I found at a garage sell, amazing condition, for only $2.00. Couldn't pass it up, it's perfect for my little family, one of my favorite things to make in it are soups and stews. Today I am making Lentils with lots of Veggies. I have embarked on a healthy journey with my wonderful brother, so now I'm counting calories.. So today as I was making this soup, I was writing down everything that was going in it and I was very surprised after all the calculations for the whole crock pot of lentils it was 693 calories! (Of course I'm not eating the whole pot) lol. Excited to have these throughout the week, lunch or dinner.

Fresh and Delicious Salad.. Romain lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion (purple), and carrots. Season chicken drumsticks with seasoning salt, garlic, and lemon juice -add olive oil to skillet -add crushed garlic -make cuts on drumsticks -place in skillet, cover it and turn every 5 minutes, once cooked through all liquid will evaporate, and they will start to get crispy! -serve with salad and dressing of your choice! Yum! 🍗

Vegetable soup with cannellini beans. Delicious! Broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, onions, tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, corn -Sautée tomatoes, onion and garlic -place in slow cooker, add water and all the other veggies and beans -add salt pepper and some Pampered Chef garlic and herbs rub! Let it cook for 2 hours on high. ✨Dinner is Ready!✨

Fire roasted Salsa is a great topping for chicken sopes, that are also topped with finely chopped lettuce sour cream and cotija cheese… Delicious!!

I cooked for 100 people at my church, I made steak Picado, rice, beans. Also I had a Salsa Bar with Hot, mild and all the fixins such as radishes, cut limes, green onions, chiles toreados (sauted chilis) spicy! Overall everyone Loved the food, meat was juicy and full of flavor. Delicious!
