SNACK ATTACK -- Pop Corn

The clock reads 2:00PM and I sit at my desk, or at home, and wonder why I want to eat. I'm not always hungry, and perhaps this means I am an emotional eater (I already know I totally am), but if I don't get something to chew on then I am going to break. 

90% of the time I go for sugar free mints or gum! I want to shout THANK YOU from the mountain tops for the master mind behind the fruit punch flavored mints. Heaven yall, they came from heaven. 

Anywho, we aren't here for you to read about my mint obsession, what you are here for is to read about another cool snack that is 100% protocol. 

POPCORN. 

You're allowed 1 cup of corn a week. So why not use it as popcorn? NOW, 1 cup of kernels is enough popcorn to last, like a month, so use this recipe below and spread out your little snacks for those moment of "I HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING NOW". 

(Remember, this will count as part of your daily vegetable so be aware) 

MICROWAVE POPCORN

Ingredients:

1/4 cup pop corn kernels

Glass Bowl

Ceremic Plate

Microwave

Place 1/4 cup pop corn kernels in bowl & place plate on top

Turn microwave on and listen closely as you DON'T want it to burn (or maybe you do, but I won't call you weird because that's not nice. ) 

TADA!! ENJOY!

ON THE RUN?

Put it in a brown paper bag!

Recipe - Tuna/Salmon Patties

When I was younger my dad would make my sister and me dinner at his house; and being a single dad, he often made what he knew. By that I mean a lot of eggs, lettuce with a lump of dressing on top, fresh veggies from the garden, fried okra & squash, sandwiches and, my favorite, salmon croquettes. 

I absolutely loved those things, and they were easy to make as well, so it was one of the first things I learned to cook. Canned salmon, an egg, and saltine crackers, mix it up and stick it in the frying pan. The mixing with my hands part might have been the whole reason I loved this so much. I got to play with the food, get messy, and eat something tasty all at the same time. It was a true WIN + WIN! 

I have been craving them for a while now and knew that I couldn't have the crackers, so I just ignored the craving. Then on Monday I decided that I already had everything at home (no grocery store run required -- another win) to make tuna patties. 

So this is how I made them, and let me just tell you...delicious. 

Tuna/Salmon Patties

Ingredients:                                                                          Serving Size 2 (16 oz of tuna)

• 4 cans of white tuna (in water) (or canned salmon if you like that better)
• 1/2 lemon juice
• Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1/2 white onion chopped
• Green onion chopped (as much or as little as you'd like)
• 1 TBSP minced garlic
• garlic powder & onion powder to taste (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 2 TBSP of coconut oil

Directions:

• Drain your tuna, put everything in a bowl (except for the oil) and mix together. 
• In the skillet put 2 TBSP of coconut oil & let it get hot
• Form patties with your hands and carefully place in the skillet
• Let the patties brown on the bottom & then flip
• Once the patty is cooked to your liking remove from skillet and enjoy. 

(4 cans of tuna made 6 patties = 16 oz so my husband and I just each ate 3 = 8oz or protein each) 

These are a new favorite of ours! Let me know what you think!

Happy Wednesday! 

Recipe - Bruschetta Chicken

Delicious & nutritious tastes just like....chicken. 

I made this last night based on THIS recipe. I just switched out the olive oil for coconut oil and a few other minor changes. Below is the modified recipe for Stimulock

It is so fresh, and such a nice way to mix up the protocol foods so you don't get tired of making the same ole things over, and over, and over. 

Bruschetta Chicken

• 10 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast (this makes two if you want left overs make more)
• 4 or 5 small tomatoes, chopped
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil 
• 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• sea salt & pepper to taste
• Handful basil, chopped

1. In a large skillet, put 1 Tbsp of coconut oil in the bottom. Place chicken in skillet and sprinkle with chicken seasonings. Cook chicken to your liking. (or you can bake the chicken)
2. Meanwhile, combine chopped tomatoes, garlic, onion, coconut oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and basil in a bowl. Refrigerate until chicken is ready to be served and spoon over top of the chicken. Enjoy!

Eating Out - You can have Chipotle!

Yes, this post title is the truth! 

You CAN have Chipotle on Stimulock!!


Can I get an "Amen"? 

I will tell you what you can have on the menu, and then I will tell you what I get.

CAN HAVE:
- Chicken
- Steak
- Mild Salsa
- Medium Salsa
- Hot Salsa
- Corn Salsa
- Lettuce
- Veggies (you can ONLY eat the onions)
- Agua - of course ;)

WHAT I GET:
- Chicken Bowl
- Mild & Medium Salsa
- Corn Salsa (this is your allowed amount of corn for the week)
- Lettuce
- Agua
- I shake it up and It. Is. Delicious.

You can probably see that you do not get 5oz of protein so you can either order double chicken, eat a boiled egg when you get home, or drink 1 scoop of an allowed protein powder.

What do you get when you eat out? What are your favorite places to eat out at while on Stimulock?

Bye Yall!

Stir Fry - Egg Roll In A Bowl

Hey Yall! Got a fun easy recipe for you!

As I have said, many times before, my favorite food is Chinese; since that is the case, I do my best to cook up a protocol friendly Chinese meal each week. 

Last night I made -- Egg Roll In A Bowl

Ingredients: (1 serving)

Cole Slaw Mix (bag kind) 
Chicken or Beef or Eggs (5oz)
1 Onion
Cauliflower / Other Choice Veggies
Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
Green onion
Powdered Ginger
Salt/Pepper

Directions:
Cook Chicken, however your would like, and set aside.
In a large skillet - put in onion, garlic, and other veggies.  Stir for a couple of minutes or until you like the texture of the onions. (if using egg, add 3 here = your 5oz of protein)
Then grab 2 handful's of the cole slaw mix (this will be your leafy green serving), and place into skillet.
Pour desired amount of Low Sodium Soy Sauce (or Braggs) over cabbage mix, and stir.
Sprinkle in powdered ginger, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir around until all veggies & cabbage are mixed well.
Cook until you like the consistency of the cabbage (I prefer for mine to be soft so I stir it for about 5 minutes)
Toss in your 5 oz of chicken/beef
Place on plate and sprinkle green onions on top

Enjoy!

*** HINT - Making more than 1 serving? Just double your slaw mix & veggies and then half it down the middle and add your protein once you have split your greens/veggies on your plate. 

I love meals that are your protein, greens, and veggies ALL IN 1! 

I made enough for my husband and me for dinner, as well as lunch today! I'm excited about lunch time coming up! 

What did you have for dinner? Try a new recipe this week, that way you don't get burnt out on the same ole' thing!

Today is Tuesday, so we will be having our normal - TACO TUESDAY!

Make it a great day!
