Mason Jar Shepherd's Pie

Look no further for an on-the-go comfort meal! Try this take on Shepherd's Pie! This recipe has a few healthier "tweaks", such as using lean ground turkey instead of beef, and blending mashed cauliflower in with the mashed potatoes :) My kids didn't even notice!!

*Note: this recipe as prepared would make enough to fill 3 12 oz Mason Jars. Could also be placed in small (8x8) casserole dish. I personally tripled the recipe to have 6 Mason Jar portions PLUS a casserole. Hope you enjoy!

















Ingredients
  • 1 tsp. olive oil

  • 12 oz. raw 93% lean ground turkey

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1 medium carrot, chopped

  • 4 oz. sliced mushrooms

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme, finely chopped

  • 1 Tbsp. whole-wheat flour

  • ½ cup low-sodium organic vegetable broth (or beef broth)

  • ½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt), divided use

  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper, divided use

  • ½ cup frozen peas

  • Hot water

  • 12 oz. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cut into cubes

  • ½ small head of cauliflower, cut into florets

  • ¼ cup reduced-fat (2%) milk, warm

  • 1 Tbsp. organic grass-fed butter
Instructions

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove turkey from pan. Set aside. Add onion and carrot to same skillet; cook, over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme; cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add turkey and flour; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add broth, ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add peas; mix well. Evenly divide turkey mixture between 3 pint-size (16 oz.) Mason jars. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Boil water in steamer or large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high. Place potatoes in steamer basket; cook for 10 minutes. Add cauliflower; cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until potatoes and cauliflower are tender. Remove from heat. Mash potatoes, cauliflower, milk, butter, remaining ¼ tsp. salt, and remaining ¼ tsp. pepper in a medium bowl with a potato masher until smooth. (Add additional milk if mixture is too dry.)

Evenly top meat mixture with potato mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Garlicky Shrimp Kebabs



Hey everyone!

I know you are going to love these Garlicy Shrimp Kebabs with peppers, onions, and mushrooms as much as Paul and I do. Shhh! The best part is it is SO simple.


Ingredients:

~2lb bag of JUMBO shrimp

~a red, orange, and yellow pepper, cut in bite-sized chunks

~a red onion, cut in bite-sized chunks

~8oz container of whole mushrooms cut in half

~a bottle of Garlic Expressions dressing (found usually near the fresh baked bread).

Prepare:

If you buy the shrimp raw you will need to thaw in cool water and then drop into a pot of boiling water for 5ish minutes until the shrimp turn pink. Peel the shrimp and skewer onto small wooden skewers. I put 8 jumbo shrimp per wooden skewer. Put the skewers in a shallow dish and drizzle the garlic expressions dressing over the shrimp to thoroughly coat. Grill the shrimp on the grill for a few minutes each side until seared. Wallha! Ready to eat!

For the Veggie side dish: Put all ingredients into a hot pan with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook till crisp tender.  Drizzle a little of the garlic expressions dressing over the veggies and if you want a garlicy kick cut up a few of the garlic cloves from the bottom of the garlic expressions bottle (I used the skewer to retrieve the whole garlic cloves from the bottle). Cook until crisp tender. Serve as a side dish to the grilled shrimp kebab.

For dessert or for a mid day snack give these brownie chocolate chip oat muffins a try: http://www.trishzfitness.com/clean-eating-brownie-bite/

Hotel Breakfast Meal Prep


Is it tough to eat healthy while traveling? I totally understand how it is! It is totally possible to make healthy choices while eating out and still treat yourself.

But the good thing is that YOU  can control how you start your day! Having consistent breakfasts really helps me to feel fueled and stay full until lunch. This is my favorite breakfast to pack when I'm staying in hotels. It's seriously SO easy to make.

Here's the recipe.
Put the following in a snack sized zip lock bag:

-1/2 cup oats,

-1/4 cup freeze dried berries (I like blueberries the most)

-1 tsp chia seeds (don't skip this step).

1, When you are in your hotel room use the provided paper cup and pour water into the coffee pot.

  1. Allow the water to heat up and pour into your paper cup.

  2. Open baggie and put contents into paper cup.

  3. You can then add in extra sweetener if you like.  You can pack a honey bear or packets of Sweet Leaf Stevia or agave syrup packets.

5. Stir.  Allow to sit for a minute so that the chia seeds help to thicken the oatmeal and the freeze dried berries start to swell and soften..... enjoy!

The Best Roasted Veggies Ever



Hey everyone! As I was planning my meal prep this weekend, I really needed something quick and easy. It's too beautiful outside to spend all your time over a hot stove.

A lot of you have heard of the "undiet" that I'm following and the main component of it is LOTS & LOTS of veggies.  Roasting veggies is so very easy and they make them taste like CANDY :) 復復復 Who knew?


Check out my how-to below:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°.

  2. Prep two cookie sheets with aluminum foil. I spray the aluminum foil covered cookie sheets with olive oil spray.

  3.  Wash and cut your veggies to the size you prefer and arranged on your cookie sheet. Do not crowd the veggies. Give them room to breathe.  Spray the veggies lightly with olive oil spray lightly salt and pepper the veggies. You could also put your favorite low salt or no salt seasoning on the veggies.

  4. Set your timer for 6 minutes and pop the veggies in the oven.

  5. When the timer goes off, flip the veggies over and pop back in the oven for another five or six minutes. Some veggies will require less time such as kale chips. Some foods that you roast will require more time such as baby potatoes. The key is to monitor closely and check frequently So that they cook but don’t burn.

  6. Happily enjoy!!!
