Or as we like to call it Wash Wednesday.

It’s the day I wash all the floors, laundry, bedding and dishes (well dishes I feel like we do everyday). It’s been a great day to do it, cause we kind of have a low key day on Wednesdays and just stick around the house and since everything is clean for the rest of the week we don’t have to do a ton of chores on the weekend!! I also make large pots of soup on Wednesday or some kind of casserole dish, so we can enjoy for lunches on the weekends. I feel like the weekend comes and we are out of food and too tired to make food, so this has worked well for our family. We are on a strict budget this year, because we have big projects we want to get done around the house and some fun vacations planned.

Today I have one of our new favorite crock pot recipes to share with you all today, that I kind of just made up with the help of Pinterest. It may now be on our rotating monthly meal plan (that’s a whole blog post in itself).

]]> Sweet Potato Kale & Goat Cheese Pizza {Recipe} https://www.bobbimccormick.com/sweet-potato-kale-goat-cheese-pizza/ https://www.bobbimccormick.com/sweet-potato-kale-goat-cheese-pizza/#comments Wed, 04 Mar 2015 09:55:34 +0000 http://www.bobbimccormick.com/?p=34429 I love our Friday night family tradition, we make (or order) our own personal pizzas. This past weekend I was feeling a little more creative (I miss those days)  and decided to re-create one of the yummy pizza’s we had while we were in Maine last Spring at the Flat Bread Company. I will never forget how delicious it was and I still want to to try and re-create the honey balsamic vinegar reduction that was on it. I improvised with BBQ sauce and it was still rather delish! Oh and if you have portabella mushrooms on hand, throw some of those on there too! sweetpotatokalepizza

Sweet Potato Kale and Goat Cheese Pizza

INGREDIENTS: 

Your favorite whole wheat pizza (we used Trader Joe’s) 
1 large sweet potato baked and mashed 
1/2 red onion, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups goat cheese 
1 1/2 cups chopped kale
1/4 cup (ish) BBQ Sauce 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 

DIRECTIONS: 

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough, using a rolling pin or your hands.  Roll it out to about 3/8 of an inch. Place the pizza dough on a pizza pan that has been generously coated with olive oil. Lightly brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a small bowl, toss the kale with balsamic vinegar. Spread the bbq sauce on the pizza like you would with pizza sauce, then top with mashed sweet potato , kale, red onion slices (I like to caramelize these first but you don’t have to) , and then the goat cheese.
2. Place the pizza in the oven on the oven rack. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until pizza crust is golden and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Slice and serve warm.   WARNING YOU WILL WANT TO EAT THE WHOLE PIZZA! I couldn’t help it!

I have had a ton of people ask me for healthy crockpot meal recipes, but another awesome way to try new crockpot recipes without making them all yourself is to do a Meal Exchange!

What is a Meal Exchange?

It is where you get 8-12 ladies together and swap meals! So fun and so wonderful especially through the HOLIDAY SEASON!

mealexchange

First thing to do is send an email out to 12 of your friends that looks a bit like this:
—-
Hi everyone!

I’m so excited for our next meal exchange at my house on (DATE and TIME). Please don’t be late in case anyone needs to grab their meals and go.

A few important details:
1. If you are not going to do the exchange please let all of us know by this (DATE) so it gives everyone time to prepare the meals and buy the appropriate amount of groceries.
2. Be sure to bring an ice chest to take your meals home in and a large laundry basket to place in your number spot with all of us to grab a meal from. Think of it sort of like a “trunk or treat”… you bring your meals in the basket and drag your ice chest along with you to each of our baskets, picking up a meal along the way until you have all your meals.
3. Below is the list of those who are joining. Be sure to label all your meals with your number listed next to your name. For example I’m #1 so “#1” will be written on all my meals.
4. Include a 3×5 card in a zip lock bag in every meal with cooking directions on one side and the recipe on the back. Put it in the zip lock bag so it can go in the freezer with the meal.
5. All meals need to be freezable.
6. The meals need to be crockpot ready or oven ready. (It can also be something super fast to cook on the stove top – 10 minutes or less)
7. When you know what you are going to make, please reply to all so we can all see what meals are being prepared. We don’t want to end up with 10 chicken soups :/
8. All dinners need to serve AT LEAST 6 people.

We are limiting this Meal Exchange to no more than 12 people so if you know of someone who wants to do it, have them email me soon.

1. Bobbi
2. Jane
3. Sarah
4. Cassie
Etc.

—-

EASY RIGHT?! Then you will have 8-12 meals in your freezer to pull out and enjoy in a flash! Yes, the one day of prep to make 12 meals for everyone else takes some time, but you are making the same thing so just make an assembly line and it will go by fast!

This time around I made Pumpkin Coconut Curry! The best thing to do is to go Pinterest and find some really yummy crockpot meals.

Picture from Table for Two.
We have had everything from chicken enchilada soup to BBQ chicken pizzas and you don’t have to do crockpot meals… You can do meals that can be frozen and reheated.
Question: Name your favorite crockpot recipe?

It’s been a super fun week of celebrating, getting the house back in order after RJ’s first birthday party (post coming soon), a five day camping trip and family in town. Loved celebrating, but feels good to be back to routine (a little).

1. The Blog, what’s next?

As you can see there has been some fun new changes to the blog, new header, background, but this is only the beginning. It’s time to mix things up a bit, so you will be seeing a LOT more changes in the future.

2. WHOLE 30 Update:

I am still doing it, but I had a little break on Monday! I had a Mai Tai and some treats at Disneyland. The Whole 30 says if you get off then you have to start all over again, well I am not following that. Hey I did do the ‘Whole 15,’ that should count for something right?

Gonna stay strong until the 26th. I can not wait to share my full review of the entire plan.

3 At-Home Workout!

I miss sharing workouts with you all. Don’t worry they are coming back and I am getting super excited about the NHS Holiday Shred 2014 coming up.

Propel’s challenge for me this month was to share an at-home workout with all of you. I know we all get super busy and sometimes can’t make it to the gym, but that’s when we use our bodies as workout equipment and get in 30 minutes of pure sweat.

Here is a workout I have created for you all to get your heart rate up and one heck of a good burn!

propelathomeworkout

#4. Crock Pot Meal Exchange:

We had another round of crock pot meal exchanges! This time there was a total 11 of us.

A lot of you have asked how this works and it’s super simple. Each person makes 11 (or however many people you have) of the same meal and puts it in a freezer bag. This can be anything from a soup, chicken tacos, meatballs and spaghetti (include the spaghetti separate). You just want to make it super simple for everyone to take out of the freezer stick in the crock pot.

I made cilantro lime chicken for everyone and then when we all got to my friends house, we walked around and grabbed one of each meal. So now we had 11 different meals to try out and have on hand to make dinner EASY! We do healthier crock pot meals and it works out perfect! Make sure to include the recipeIMG_9470

#5. 3D Mascara:

I finally gave it a try! An instagram follower (AmyClink) sent me some Amy Clinkenbeard’s Younique Virtual Party (Mascara) to try out and now my mind is BLOWN away! 

It’s an incredible mascara that is all natural, made from green tea leaves with tons of beneficial ingredients in it!

It contains a gel that applies like mascara. You apply the green tea fibers to extend you lashes then the gel again to seal in the fibers. It lasts all day and washes off with your regular face soap! I am hooked!!!

I am so blessed to have married a man who loves to grow things for me, because I have the brownest thumb ever! I am pretty sure this has to be the most KALE we have ever grown. I am super excited that I get to go outside every morning and pick my very own kale for my smoothies. We also give a lot of it away because there is no way we could store it all. Some friends have given me some really great ideas like blending the kale up and storing it in ice-cube trays for smoothies and soups.

IMG_7144

In order to make sure that I am eating kale and veggies from the garden as much as possible,  I really make sure to make my meal plan around what is growing. I love that RJ, loves kale (well blended in smoothies) because between the two of us we have put a little dent in it. 🙂 This week I will be making green monsters everyday, kale salads, kale chips, kale pesto, kale and white bean soup, kale omelets, and kale egg casserole.

I started the KALE KICK OFF with a yummy Kale and Quinoa Stir-Fry that I literally had everything already on hand for. I took Spicy Kale and Coconut Stir Fry from Cookie and Cake and mixed it up a bit. It was so simple and tasted amazing the only thing I regretted was not making more!

kaleandquinostirfry

 

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 tbsp. Coconut Oil
  • 2 Eggs (beaten with a dash of salt)
  • 2 cloves Garlic large (pressed or minced)
  • ½ Onion
  • 1 bunch kale medium (ribs removed and leaves finely shredded)
  • ¼ tsp. Fine Grain Sea Salt
  • 2 c. Cooked Quinoa
  • 2 tsp. Reduced-Sodium Tamari or Soy Sauce
  • 1 Lime (halved)
  • Fresh Cilantro (for garnish)
  • Optional:
    • 1. c. Vegetables such as bell pepper, carrot, or Brussel sprouts (thinly sliced)
    • 2 tsp. Chili Garlic Sauce or Sriracha
    • Red Pepper Flakes (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Heat a large (12-in. or wider) wok, cast iron skillet, or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact, add 1 tsp. of oil. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and lightly set. Take the eggs out and put aside for a moment.
  2. Add one tbsp. of oil to the pan and add the garlic, onions, and optional additional vegetables. Cook while stirring for 30 seconds or longer, until fragrant or until the vegetables are tender. Add the kale and ¼ tsp. salt. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the kale is wilted and tender, which will just take a couple of minutes. Transfer the contents of the pan to the bowl of eggs.
  3. Add the remaining two tsp. of oil to the pan. Add the quinoa to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is hot (approx. 3 minutes).
  4. Pour the contents of the bowl back into the pan. Add 2 tsp. of tamari (or soy sauce) and hot sauce (chili garlic sauce or sriracha). Stir to combine, then transfer the contents to serving plates or back to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of ½ of a lime over the dish. Garnish with a sprinkling of torn cilantro leaves and wedges of lime, with jars of chili garlic sauce, sriracha, and/or red pepper flakes on the side.

I can’t wait to share more recipes with you soon!

Question: What is your favorite thing to make with kale?

You all know that I love a good glass of vino on occasion, but with summer here and lots of grilling happening sometimes a refreshing margarita just hits the spot. I don’t like how restaurants add a lot of extra sugar and calories that aren’t necessary, so I have a go-to, at-home, 3-ingredient recipe that I love and stick with.

Beware: if you are used to super sweet margaritas, you may want to add a little more lime juice or even throw in some blended watermelon.

3-Ingredient Margarita: 

Adapted from http://www.averiecooks.com/

INGREDIENTS:

1 to 1 1/2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
2 oz. Water
1 to 2 oz. Tequila
1 tbsp. Agave Nectar (or to taste)
Ice

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Over a large cup, squeeze the limes (approx. 2 medium/large ripe limes).
  2. Add the water, tequila, and agave. Stir. Taste to see if any changes need to be made.
  3. Add ice generously, and stir or shake. (You can complete this recipe in a shaker.)
  4. Serve immediately.

This would go perfectly with some spicy fish tacos!

Sorry for being so MIA on the blog this week. It’s been one of those weeks where I feel like I am hitting the pillow at night wondering if I even looked in the mirror all day. It’s been a fun week to say the least, but I have been running at 5am two days a week, teaching AKB, cuddling a teething baby, taking RJ to her first swim lessons and trying to be a good wife and make Hubby his favorite dishes.

Speaking of favorite dishes, my husbands most favorite thing in the world is Orange Chicken. I cringe every time he orders it when we are out. So when I saw this Pin on Pinterest for a grilled version of Orange Chicken, I just knew I had to make it. We also have a tree that is growing oranges like crazy! I changed up the recipe a bit, but just sticking with boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of bone in and with the skin. I also only used oranges and left out the lemons.

Honestly this might be the best thing I have ever made, like EVER! I am going to be making this in a couple of batches and freezing for nights when I don’t have time to think!

Healthy Orange Herb Chicken


Adapted from The Comfort of Cooking

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons sugar

4 whole oranges, two juiced and two sliced

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

10-12 pieces (about 4 1/2 lbs.) bone-in chicken parts (thighs and legs are best), pat dry I did skinless boneless chicken thighs and still tasted amazing!

1 medium onion (any kind), thinly sliced (I omitted because I didn’t have on hand)

1 teaspoon dried thyme, or fresh chopped

1 tablespoon dried rosemary, or fresh chopped

Chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley), for garnish, optional


DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, sugar,orange juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper.

Place chicken in a rimmed 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place parts skin side up and spread them out evenly in the pan. Pour olive oil mixture all over chicken, turning pieces to coat all sides. (If you marinated the chicken in this mixture, still add it all in). Arrange slices of , orange and onion around and under the chicken. Sprinkle all over generously with thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.

Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked and juices run clear. Remove parts to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

Who’s ready for Friday?!! I am!

You all know that I love me some Brussels sprouts!! I have been experimenting in the kitchen and have perfected them even more!

Ingredients:

1 pound Brussels sprouts

2 tbsp EVOO

1/4 cup fresh Parmesan cheese

1 small diced onion

2 minced garlic cloves

1 avocado

a dash of sea salt and ground pepper

optional: chopped grilled chicken to throw in at the end

 

20120517-071017.jpg

Directions:

First chop the Brussels sprouts ends off and discard. Then chop up the Brussels sprouts like you would chop up a head of cabbage, nice and shredded. Put EVOO in a frying pan and add in garlic and onion. Let cook on low for about 2-3 minutes or until browned a bit and then add in Brussels sprouts. Cook sprouts until tender and then add in grilled chicken. Add in avocado, salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and then serve. Top with graded fresh parm.

Not just any pizza, but the best chicken pizza ever and a brussels sprouts salad!

20120204-144607.jpg

I got a little inspiration from Pinterest on how to chop and cook them over the stove. I normally put them in the oven with a little salt an pepper, but this is way better!

Garlic Lime Brussels Sprouts

20120204-144858.jpg

After you have washed the sprouts and removed the stems, slice them thinly.

They will fall apart and begin to shred on their own.

Ingredients:

1lb brussels sprouts
2 slices pepperoni chopped into small pieces
1 garlic clove, minced
juice of 1 lime
a pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)
olive oil
Sliced red onion
salt and pepper

Directions:

Add a little olive oil to the pan and add your shredded brussels, garlic, pepperoni, lime, and crushed red pepper.

Cook for just a few minutes on medium heat, until brussels start to get tender.

When they are heated through, mix everything together and enjoy!

These brussels sprouts with this pizza made the cleanest pizza night in history.
