PAPA's PICO DE GALLO

Papa's Pico

This pico-de-gallo recipe is my dad’s (aka PAPA). My family is CRAZY for Mexican food!!! So whenever we get together or go visit one another it goes without say WE WILL be having a Mexican feast! This includes Pico, Guacamole, Fajitas, Margaritas and more! We go all out! Of course we keep it as clean as possible! 

But PAPAs PICO is literally amazing! And I eat it for days later in my eggs, on steak, in a baked pepper, with celery. You name it, I put it on it! Honestly its my favorite thing EVER! So if you want a good pico, HERE YA GO! 

Ingredients 

-About 10 Roma Tomatoes

-1/2 a bunch of cilantro diced

-1 Lime (juiced)

-1 Medium white onion (may only use half)

-2-4 finely chopped jalapeños (depending upon how spicy you want it- be careful and taste as you go, because some peppers are mild and others are HOT!) 

-Sea Salt/Himalayan Salt to taste 

Dice all ingredients up. (We use the Vidalia Chop Wizard https://www.chopwizard.com/ )

Let sit for a couple hours so spices and flavors blend. 

It should look like this!!! Once it sits for a while you can eat it up with all kinds of goodies!

**Also, I make some guacamole by cutting and mashing up a couple avocados and then spoon in some pico.  You may need to add another squeezed lime and some garlic salt!

AH so good! Just looking at this is making my mouth water! I think I may go make some right now !

CLEAN PUMPKIN RAISIN PANCAKES

YES, I said it! Clean Pumpkin Raisin Pancakes!!!
These suckers are actually good for you! And did I mention they are stinken AWESOME!

I know you just want to eat them off the Page! Ok maybe you don't, but I DO!
Here is the recipe....

1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
1/2 cup quick or rolled oats
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
4 egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin spice
2 Tbs raisins (or how ever many you would like in there)
1/2 tsp agave nector

mix all up and cook on stove like normal pancakes. Make sure to let cook all the way through before flipping, otherwise they will fall apart (coat the pan well too!! I like to use coconut oil)

For the topping....
I caramelized the pecans in a little bit of coconut oil (or a little butter), a couple shakes of cinnamon, about a tsp of vanilla, few squirts of agave and about 1/3 cup almond milk  (sorry I am really bad at measuring- I just throw stuff in)

Cook on medium heat until mixture becomes thicker, if it cooks down too much add a little more almond milk until the consistency you want.

Chocolate Peanut butter Over night Oats

When I get up to start my day I get up and start moving! Often times I don't have time to focus on breakfast with all the running around and work and kids! So my saving grace many times are my over night oats!! I looooove them! I am still looking to explore new flavors. Most of the time I just throw a bunch of stuff together and they turn out pretty good!!

Here is my recipe for the chocolate peanut butter over night oats!  

1 cup rolled oats 

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 

2 heaping tbs of natural peanut butter 

2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk 

1 tbs chia seeds (I use ground chia bad flax mix) 

OPTIONAL- 1 to 2 tbs of chocolate shakeology (can use protein powder as well) 

1 small banana cut up  

Mix all ingredients together and put in fridge over night. 

Ok so this is Huuuge !! Yep ! I make a double batch so I can either share with the kids or save it for the following day!!  

Did I mention I LOVE my OATS!!  

In the morning you can top it with anything you like.  I topped mine with cocoa almonds(you could even crush these up and add them to your recipe so you get a little in each bite!!!)

THIS IS DEEEELISSSHHH!! 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I will have more over night recipes to come shortly! 

***You can always add more peanut butter or chocolate shakeology to enhance the  flavor to your liking!! Experiment with it to fit your taste buds!

Healthy stuffed Turkey Burger

Ok... So my husband has been having some medical issues - so I did some research to really make Food his Medicine! So of course that meant a huuuuge grocery bill later I am concocting some recipes. 

This one is a turkey burger stuffed with garlic, onion and pinto beans! 

 

Here are the ingredients

1.2 lbs extra lean ground turkey

2 garlic cloves (minced)

1 small white onion, or half of a medium one (minced) 

1/2 a can of pinto beans 

1/2 tsp onion powder 

1/2 tsp garlic powder 

1/2 garlic salt

1/2 tsp ground flax/chia seed

1/2 tsp brewers yeast 

1/4 tsp turmeric. 

1 egg white

Lightly use some Ground pepper 

Beat together until most beans are broken up and divide into patties 

Then Throw me on the grill !! 

 

While they cook on the grill I am using the rest of the cut onion on the stove to sautéed in some garlic and olive oil.  

 Sautéed on medium low heat and cover. 

Once they turn translucent and soft they are done !! 

Then to create the burger I uses a half of a whole wheat bun. Stacked with lettuce tomato, the turkey burger and onions. 

Eat with a fork and knife!! Or else you will have it sliding all over the place! ;) 

Enjoy this heart healthy clean burger all summer long!  

Lean Meat and Pico Stuffed Pepper

Need a new clean breakfast or lunch idea!? Want to keep it low in carbs!? Try this one out!! It's full of protein an vitamins!!

Slice a pepper in half

Fill halfway with lean (cooked) ground beef or turkey

Crack an egg into the pepper

Add some low fat cheese ontop 

Cook at 400 for about 8 minutes then add pico de gallo on top and/or avocados! 

Cook for about 5 more minutes or until yoke looks cooked enough

And then enjoy!!!  

This is so yummy! It's a great way to use up extra meat or leftovers!! Get creative with your food!! When you try out new things it makes it fun and exciting and the more you experiment the more you will get a feel for what tastes and blends well together! If you fail the first time don't give up! Just keep trying. Because eating clean is not only good for you- but it can be fun and it tastes so good!!!

WHAT CAN SHAKEOLOGY DO FOR YOU?

What Can Shakeology Do for You?

Many people ask me about what Shakeology can do for them. And of course I am more than excited to share my own personal experiences along with the testimonies of others, however until you actually experience the benefits of this superfood it's hard to believe how amazing it can make you look and feel!  It is not a "regular protein shake" or meal or snack replacement drink.  It is packed with exceptional nutrition containing 70 whole food ingredients that promote and simplify mental and physical health. Some of the effects Shakeology has had on me are WEIGHT LOSS,  more ENERGY and ENDURANCE, LESS CRAVINGS, LESS HUNGER,  better overall MOOD, IMMUNITY, INCREASE IN MUSCLE MASS, IMPROVED CONCENTRATION, IMPROVED DIGESTION and feeling and looking HEALTHIER OVERALL. If I skip drinking it for a few days, I will see and feel a difference in my health.  I've heard many testimonials of how it has helped other people with high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, lymes disease, menopause and more.  So you are still asking...What can Shakeology do for ME?  Everyone's body is unique, but here is a short summary of benefits that anyone taking Shakeology on a regular basis should experience.

Antioxidants: Shakeology contains some of the most potent antioxidants: flavonoids and phytonutrients such as spinach, blue green algae, carrot powder, strawberry powder, and vitamins E and C. These help to prevent free radicals from oxidizing and destroying cells. The ingredients in our antioxidant blend such as pomegranate, acai berry, camu-camu, goji, and blueberry also have powerful antioxidant effects to support your immune system and help protect your body from normal inflammatory response.

Energy: Shakeology contains a range of B vitamins and trace minerals, like zinc and magnesium, from whole food sources that regulate metabolism and increase energy. Shakeology also contains maca root, an adaptogen herb known to promote endurance and stamina.

Digestion: The Shakeology non-dairy prebiotic and probiotic blend contains fiber and different enzymes like amylase, papain, cellulose, and lactase, which all support digestion. These ingredients aid in breaking down food molecules into smaller molecules that can be properly digested, so all of the nutrients can be absorbed into your system.

Mood: One scoop of Shakeology provides 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B12. B12 is often linked with good mood maintenance; B vitamins are also essential for the production and proper functioning of neurotransmitters like dopamine, crucial to the experience of pleasure. Shakeology also contains cacao, which is very high in phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA acts as a neuromodulator to enhance one's mood.

Detoxification: Many of the ingredients in Shakeology (spirulina, chlorella, flaxseed, barley grass, spinach) contain powerful detoxification compounds such as chlorophyll and alpha-linolenic acid. These ingredients may help rid the body of environmental toxins such as smog, heavy metals, herbicides, cleaning products, and pesticides. They also aid in liver detoxification. Shakeology also includes kamut grass, an ingredient coined "nature's most powerful detoxifier." This grass has been known to cleanse the body and detoxify the cells to restore health and vitality.

Immunity: The antioxidants, bioflavanoids, and flavanoids in Shakeology work to support immunity. Some of these ingredients include ashwaganda, acerola cherry, rose hips, and goji berries. The goji berries in Shakeology are one of the richest sources of antioxidants; not only does goji berry promote eye, reproductive, and circulatory health, but it also supports your immune system and promotes longevity!

Satiety/cravings: The protein, chromium, and nutrient-dense calories from superfoods in Shakeology work to help decrease your appetite. Chromium is important because it helps maintain blood-sugar levels, which reduces sugar cravings and promotes fat metabolism. Plus, protein-rich meals are a great way to keep you feeling full, longer!

Complete nutrition: Each Shakeology ingredient plays an important role in

feeding your body on a cellular level, but it is important to remember that the synergy of the 70+ ingredients working together is what truly fuels your body to keep you looking and feeling your best.

Shakeology truly is "The Healthiest Meal of the Day". It helps you lose weight, curb cravings, lower cholesterol, increase energy, boost your mood and so much more. In order to intake all the nutrients Shakeology provides, you would need to buy a lot of rare, whole foods and superior supplements costing you almost $700. There isn't anything comparable to it on the market, and if you try it, you'll soon realize, it is worth every penny! It comes in chocolate, greenberry or new vegan flavors, chocolate and tropical strawberry.  You can find out more information and place your order through my website www.shakeology.com/amiedesanzo.  There's a 30 day bottom of the bag money back guarantee, so if you decide after 30 days this did not work for you, you can return it for a full money back guarentee.
