Lunch can be a struggle. I get bored easily, and I want things quick. I don’t care for leftovers, so I feel my options are fairly limited. But I decided to make myself some wraps using chicken tenders from Slim Chickens. This turned out perfect and is a great lunch to have on occasion.
I found this recipe by searching past recipes on Home Chef’s website. I did adjust it some for our taste. And next time I would make this using shrimp with the tail OFF.
Crockpot chicken fajitas are easy and yummy. Perfect for a Tuesday night fiesta. You literally just have to heat up the tortillas (if you want), and you are set for dinner! Buy some tortilla chips and premade salsa and call it a night.
A few weeks ago, my mom and I decided to make the infamous Tik Tok feta pasta dish. I have wanted to try it for a while, but I know Brad isn’t the biggest fan of pasta with his diabetes. While it turned out good, it wasn’t as amazing as everyone says. I think it would be great if you added in some chicken or shrimp to offset the richness of it.
We do not cook squash enough in our household, but this is a quick and easy way to cook it that we need to do more often, honestly.
These are very classic, but also often forgotten about. We love them, and it help keep us from eating an entire potato! I really did just wing it when it came to the ingredients, so adjust according to your preferences. But I am listing about what I used.
I love our air fryer, but we go through moments of not using it. We love cooking okra, but it can stink up the house if we fry it. So I decided to try it in the air fryer. I have made it two ways. You can find one way here. The other way is below and is much easier.
We have been having salmon a lot lately, and I found this recipe on Instagram that uses the air fryer to make it. It really crisps it and the flavor is great.
So I first found out about crockpot candy many, many years ago at my last job. One of the admins brought it in one holiday, and I fell it love with it. I know it sounds crazy, but it was great. It is super easy to make, and it is a great holiday treat.
My Noom Goal Specialist shared this recipe with me a while back. I love shrimp scampi, and this is such an easier way to make it by using your crockpot!
I found this recipe on the Noom app. It was spicy (obviously), but it was really good. I am happy to add another shrimp recipe to our arsenal.
So the famous Tik Tok wraps were not used making eggs, but I decided to try it that way. You can use whatever ingredients you really like, but I will list what I used.
I am always looking for new and quick lunch ideas. Well we eat out every single Thursday due to Melody’s standing food therapy appointment. I get really tired of eating out at the same place every week. Especially since they have such a limited menu. So one week I only got their grilled chicken tenders, then I came home and whipped up a quick and delicious stir fry. I bought some frozen chicken too to have on hand to use when we don’t eat out.
I found this recipe on the Home Chef website. I modified it some to fit better within Noom and to lower the carb count for Brad. It turned out delicious, and it is definitely a recipe we will make again. What is nice is you can adjust all the ingredients to toppings you prefer and customize it for whoever you are making it for!
So I absolutely love this side dish as the holidays. I actually never had it until my first holidays with Brad’s family. I have never tried to make it at home because I would be the only person to eat it. But this year I did make it for my family at Christmas. And while they tried it, my mom prefers traditional cranberry sauce (from a can of course) and no one else is a fan. But it was great, so I wanted to share.
We make quite a bit of fish, so it is nice to find new recipes. This one has a slight kick, but you can reduce or remove the crushed red pepper if you want.
This is another Noom recipe that I found both Brad and I really like. I changed the original recipe up some by doing it in muffin tins, and I prefer not using the tomatoes. So I add those in within the muffin tins to keep them out of mine. This is great reheated too.
This is another Noom recipe that I have adjusted each time I make it to work with whatever ingredients I have on hand. It is delicious and gives you another egg option if you love eggs like me!
These buffalo chicken bites are a great fix if you are wanting to eat healthy, but miss things like buffalo wings. I found these on the Noom app, and I adjusted the recipe to fit our preferences.
When I first started Noom, I was trying to find an alternative to potato chips. I love them. They were a go to snack for me. Since I have been on Noom for about 5 weeks, my desire isn’t as strong for chips. However, I did find an alternative that is “green” on their scale. I now make my own tortilla chips. This is great since salsa too is green. Everyone that tries them love them too. Even if you are not doing Noom, they are a great alternative to traditional tortilla chips.
