Hibachi Chicken Fried Rice

Image
One final Sunday recipe - Hibachi Chicken Fried Rice. This was an amazing Fried Rice recipe . We added chicken, eliminated green onion, used less olive oil and used garlic powder in place of garlic. If you are looking for a fairly easy meal that is delicious, this is the one for you!  Ingredients: Boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces 2 large eggs, beaten 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp garlic powder 2 cups cooked white rice 3 tbsp organic soy sauce Directions: Heat a wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add chicken pieces and stir fry 5-7 minutes or until cooked and no longer pink. Move to a plate.  Add 1 tbsp olive oil and add eggs. Cook and stir eggs until cooked through, 1-2 minutes (or less).  Add chicken back in as well as garlic powder.  Mix in cooked rice and cook until 1-2 more minutes. Add soy sauce until rice mixture is evenly coated, about 3 minutes. Enjoy!

Easy Healthy Pancake Recipe

If you are looking for a super simple, healthy pancake recipe, this is it! With only four ingredients, it can't be easier! This recipe is from Delish . The only thing I changed was using 1 tsp lime juice in place of lemon zest. Turned out delish (no pun intended)! Ingredients: 1/2 cup almond flour 4oz cream cheese (we used whipped) 4 eggs 1 tsp lime juice Directions: In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together until smooth. Let sit for 2 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, spray with PAM or cooking spray and pour in about 1/4 cup of the batter and cook about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes. The first few took a little longer to cook so if you can, let the skillet sit over the heat for 30-60 seconds before adding the batter. Serve with bacon and sausage.

Simple and Flavorful Pepper Chicken

Good morning and happy Sunday! My goal today is to share three recipes with you so I can be all caught up before my sister and family comes into town on Wednesday. Today's recipe is Pepper Chicken. The original recipe from Eat Well 101 is a Pepper Chicken Stir Fry recipe. We eliminated the bell peppers, used garlic powder instead of garlic cloves, and didn't use Sriracha and turned it into just  a chicken recipe. If you make this recipe, please let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear your feedback! Ingredients: Boneless, skinless, chicken breast sliced into 1 inch pieces 1 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tsp garlic powder 1/4 cup organic light brown sugar 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce 2 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp sesame seeds Directions: In a small bowl, whisk the garlic powder, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and cornstarch.

Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

What a long and busy week this week. Typically, I go into town or do errands once a week, if that. This week was just a constant busy week of preparing for my family to come into town and getting Jace back from his Nana's. We went to Camarillo and back last weekend, I took Jace to his first concert (TI and Nelly) on Monday, we had a cleaning lady here on Wednesday as well as a guy who put up our trampoline, and today I took Jace to get his haircut, went to the UPS store and did some returns and did a grocery pickup. This upcoming week will be busy as my sister will be staying with us so I have the swimming pool to fill up and the house to clean. Phew. I'm going to try to catch up on blogs as much as I can in the meantime. Earlier this week I made the most delicious Air Fryer Chicken Thighs recipe that will be in our weekly dinner rotation. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Ingredients: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp c

Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

Crack chicken is so good (and addicting, hence "crack") so I saved this recipe to have for both lunch and dinner. I can't say it's the healthiest, but it IS delicious. Inspiration is from Wholesome Yum . It was only Kevin and I eating this one so portions were much smaller. I also used The Social Distancer from Pinch Spice Market (it is now called Buffy's Slayer Helper ) in place of some of the herbs and seasonings, and I used light cream cheese and reduced fat cheddar cheese to adapt to what I eat on Noom. We also did not use green onions. Using Noom has taught me how to take regular foods that I eat and adapt them so they are a little bit healthier (ie: use "light" or "reduced fat" when possible). I also like using the Social Distancer because it has a group of seasonings altogether in one bag (garlic, parsley, salt, and basil) so it adds more flavor.  Ingredients: 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 tbsp Pinch Spice Market The Social Dist

One Pan Garlic Butter Chicken Bites and Asparagus

This is our last weekend before we get Jace back and let me tell you, it's gonna be weird to have him back. We have gone 4 1/2 weeks without him while he was in Arizona and Texas. In the 4 1/2 weeks he was gone,  Kevin and I went to lunch together several times, we went to Chili's for dinner before they closed up here, we went to a comedy show and the casino, and to the park to watch fireworks for the 4th of July. We were able to get on the same page with a lot of things, I bought Jace tickets to his first concert, we decided birthday and Christmas gift ideas for Jace, and finalized some plans when my family is here in a few weeks.  I am at my lowest weight since starting Noom (down 6 pounds) and looking forward to the future. I actually made this recipe a week or two ago but we've been pretty busy so I'm just now getting to it. This one is for a one pan garlic butter chicken bites and asparagus. I had this in the cast iron skillet. The original recipe is from Eat Well
