I overslept today. Missed the gym. Finished cleaning up the house and realized it was 15mins till the next class time started, I wasn't really in the mood to go.
Who says I have to go to a class, that class? Who says what success looks like though, right?
I'm not really on a workout schedule yet, but I know I need to work out at least 30minutes a day to maintain my weight/insulin resistance. I should start saying "I get to workout!" Turns a negative into a positive.
Anyway, instead of going to a class at my gym I decided to do some power yoga instead. It was good. Probably not the best workout I've ever had but at least I got it done.
Are you ever tired of life being a process? Just ready to have it figured out? I wish I could do that with my PCOS...but everyday is a day of learning & each day I get better at making decisions for me and my health,
Today, I've got TWO AWESOME recipes for you!! Although they don't really go together. LOL, one of them is a Mexican dish & the other one is more made for fall I think.
Without further ado here are the recipes!
Gluten Free Enchilada Bake or known as Brown Rice Chicken Cheese and Bean Enchilada Bake (Pick your poison on the name)
Helpful hints: This meal is a bit extensive, so it's more of your Sunday dinner because it takes a bit to make, assemble, and cook. I swear, it's delicious and worth it though. You can also add olives, jalapenos, tomatoes...whatever you like in a Mexican dish. Use chicken for a leaner healthier version, but you can also use beef, if you choose.
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
2 Brown Rice Flour Tortilla's
1 can black beans
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1/2 cup chopped red peppers
1/2 cup chopped yellow peppers
1/3 cup diced red onion
8 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
2.5cups of cheddar cheese (If you are on a limited dairy intake or should be you can omit the cheese or find a vegan substance. Although...some vegan choices are chalk full or soy, so be careful. Read your labels).
1 pouch of Frontera Enchilada Sauce (I found mine at Hy-vee here is what the pouch looks like)
3 tbsp olive oil
Seasonings:
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder

Place rinsed and dried chicken then dish and coat with the olive oil and seasonings
Place on grill and cook until 140 degrees or until no longer pink on the inside
