I have been feeling so much positivity the last few days. Maybe it's school, I'm sure it's partially that and the new things that are developing. My schedule freeing up to be able to do the things that will help me grow my business.
But first let's get into the recent eats and other miscellaneous things!
The BEST protein shake around is with Equip foods! No whey, no egg. 1/2 an avocado, 4 ice cubes, some leftover latte or water and a scoop of each. It's thick and creamy and oh so good! It tastes like a brownie in a cup. Who could want anything more?
Felix is exploring more and not really caring what Nostrand is doing or where she is at. Stryker just doesn't know what to do in general and Jack just doesn't care and lays out on the couch!
Friday's dinner was a burger with bacon and avocado. I mean really?! Bacon and avocado on all the things! I had some roasted cauliflower left and a small side of tomato and bib lettuce under the burger.
I thought I would show some of them work at Birmingham Roast. The bagel sandwich on the left is the creation of the coffeehouse manager. He's calling it the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich. It has 3 eggs, cheddar, grilled red onion, chicken, bacon, avocado and spinach. This one happens to be on a everything bagel, but could be on any bread and even done gluten free. My creation on the right is a creme brulee french toast with coffee butter and pure maple syrup! We could also do this one gluten free. Rave reviews on both and they will be on the special menu starting this week!
Sunday I had no lunch prepared so I prepared food at work. Grilled chicken, bacon and smoked salmon on top of arugula with a sprinkling of grilled red onion and avocado. I haven't had this is a while and it was really good. I also got to meet one of my group leaders from NTA, Jennifer! I was so excited to meet her and fabulous she has a practice in Birmingham.
That bring us to tonight's dinner which was roasted dijon chicken with balsamic roasted brussels and bacon and a small side of maple glazed white sweet potato. This really was an easy meal. I cut the backbone out of a whole chicken and roasted it in a cast iron skillet for 40 minutes. Once it was done I took it out to rest and added 1 cup bone broth, 1 tbs dijon mustard and an 1/8 of an onion and simmered until reduced. The brussels were roasted in the oven for 30 minutes and added cooked bacon and 1 tbs. balsamic vinegar and mixed. I roasted the sweet potato in the oven at the same time for 30 minutes in coconut oil and maple syrup then seasoned it with salt and pepper.
There it is! Easy peasy.
I'm testing out meal delivery with a friend to see if it's something I want to add to my NTP. I already cook for a living and I love it so I figured why not?!? Who wouldn't want to not have to worry about cooking at night when they get home?! So more on that to come!
