Sunday supper

Turkey and broccoli lasagna was what we had for dinner tonight. I was rather worried about it since I'm not a huge broccoli or cottage cheese fan but I ended up liking it! B on the other hand wasn't a huge fan... 

Ingredients:

Two containers cottage cheese

1 large shredded head of broccoli

1 TBSP garlic powder

1 cup chopped onion

1 1/4 pound turkey meat

Whole grain noodles

Grated Parmesan cheese

1 TBSP olive oil

ONE: cook the turkey, olive oil, onion and garlic powder in a skillet until brown. While doing this cook your noodles according to the box. Begin preheating over to 350 F

TWO: layer your lasagna in the pan first. Cover this with half your meat, then half your broccoli, 1 container cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

THREE: repeat step two. Use your remaining noodles for your top layer and cover them with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

FOUR: loosely cover your pan with ton foil and bake for 45-55 minutes until your juices are clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before digging in!

This recipe was actually super easy and I'm really happy with the turn out. Its a great way to get some added veggies in your life!

Sunday Supper (on Monday)

I've decided to start posting updates on our new clean eating lifestyle. Every Sunday will be Supper Sunday and boy do I have a great post for you. I know today is Monday and I'm a little late -__- already starting off on a bad note! 

Last night we had an amazing dish, pineapple pork tenderloin. It was delish. I wasn't sure how everyone would feel about the pineapple but thankfully my boys torn it up! 

This recipe serves 8 people so we had tons of leftovers!

Ingredients:

1lb pork tenderloin

Olive oil cooking spray

1 pineapple, cored, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1Tbsp Balsamic vinegar

1Tbsp real maple syrup

1/4 tsp sea salt 

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

ONE: preheat oven to 375F. Rinse the tenderloin under cool running water and pay dry. 

TWO: heat a large skillet on medium-high. Mist lighty with olive oil cooking sprat and place tenderloin in. Sear your tenderloin until it's nicely browned on all sides (this takes about 3-4 minutes a side). After seared remove your tenderloin and place in a backing dish. 

THREE: immediately place pineapple chunks in skillet. Sauté them for around 3 minutes (let them get a golden caramel color). 

FOUR: while your pineapple is cooking mix together vinegar & syrup in a small bowl. Add this to the pineapple and reduce heat to simmer for 1 minute. 

FIVE: pour the pineapple mixture over your tenderloin and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Pop your tenderloin in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the juices run slightly pink. 

This meal was amazing and only 290 calories per serving!
