Salmon Burgers

January 26, 2017January 26, 2017Leave a comment

My mom has always made the BEST salmon cakes and its been one of those things I’ve left up to her. You know the thing you don’t want to mess with but you quickly suggest when going for a visit.

But after completing WHOLE 30 a few months ago I’ve got a little more creative and daring in the kitchen & I decided to put my big girl pants on and with some guidance over the phone I knocked out some killer salmon cakes:

WHAT YOU NEED:

-5-5oz packets of wild-caught salmon (boneless) – (Note: cans are fine as well I just liked the ease of the little packets)

-2 eggs

-1 medium sweet potato, baked

-3/4 cup almond or coconut flour (I prefer almond)

-2 TBS old bay (give or take depending on how spicy you like it)

-4 gloves minced garlic

-1/2 onion, chopped

-Juice of 1 lemon

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

-Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F

– Line baking pan with parchment paper

– Combine all ingredients until mixed thoroughly

-Scoop cakes and drop onto lined baking dish – I found the LARGE pampered chef cookie scoop is the easiest to get uniform sized cakes, then I flatten with a cup. Could also use 1/4 measuring cup

-Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown

-Serve with veggie of your choice & ENJOY

I recently completed a round of Whole 30 paired with Core De Force and I can truly say I found my JAM! I found what works for me – what I enjoy – and what makes me FEEL good on the inside!!!

Holiday Survival Tips

December 20, 2015December 20, 2015Leave a comment

If you’ve been following my Hammer & Chisel journey you may have noticed that week 3 kicked off with SEVERAL planned meals out – I mean its the holidays – tis the season right?!?!

Of course – but that doesn’t mean you can’t make some progress along the way too!!!

We have had some holiday celebrations, my dad’s birthday dinner and just some time out with friends and family! But here’s the deal – I do believe you can have your cake and eat it too!

Each day I’ve been “picking my splurge” whether its the meal or dessert I pick one and do my best on the other options. I have found making that healthier choice doesn’t leave me feeling deprived but rather proud that I am doing something to better myself!

We even had a day date christmas shopping trip in the mix and at the suggestion of my hubs we packed all our meals – yup – snack 1, lunch and snack 2. Mancake bake, grilled asparagus and salmon burgers, some fruit, shakeo and plenty to drink! Hydration is key!!!

And in between running from place to place we would sneak in those meals, fuel up and get on our way! I tend to get HANGRY while shopping and often don’t want to take the time out to eat when I’m on a mission and this made it work out for everyone involved!!!

My sis came to visit which gave me that much more of a REASON – not an EXCUSE to stay on track – we simply made it something we would do TOGETHER! Family fitness is just one of the many things that fills my cup — I think she’s hooked for sure!

The holiday season is tough – don’t get me wrong. And the temptations are everywhere but not impossible to survive by any means!!!

Here are my top HOLIDAY tips!

There is power in numbers – but you only have control of ONE.

Week 2 of Hammer & Chisel

December 14, 2015December 14, 20152 Comments

It has arrived!!!

Ok wait – so I JUST got the package YET – I’m in week 2?! Heck yes!

I’ve actually been doing the H&C workouts through the on demand feature of the Team Beachbody Premium Club membership. Basically its like netflix for the fitness world and while I had everything I needed to do the program – there’s just something to be said about flipping the pages of the nutrition guide and hanging that 60 day calendar on the basement walls!!!
Hammer and Chisel week 2 whats in the package
So what came in the box?!?!

I opted for the The Masters Hammer and Chisel Deluxe DVD Package:

12 workouts on 6 DVDs: HAMMER PLYOMETRICS, ISO SPEED HAMME, TOTAL BODY HAMMER,MAX HAMMER STRENGTH, HAMMER POWER, HAMMER CONDITIONING, CHISEL BALANCE, ISO STRENGTH CHISEL, CHISEL ENDURANCE, CHISEL CARDIO, CHISEL AGILITY, TOTAL BODY CHISEL
A SET OF 7 PORTION-CONTROL CONTAINERS & SHAKER CUP
PROGRAM AND NUTRITION GUIDE
QUICK-START GUIDE
60-DAY WORKOUT CALENDAR
PLUS, 3 FREE BONUS GIFTS: 10 MIN AB HAMMER WORKOUT, 10 MIN AB CHISEL WORKOUT, 24/7 ONLINE SUPPORT
4 ADVANCED TOTAL-BODY WORKOUTS: HAMMER BUILD UP, POWER CHISEL, 15 MIN LEG HAMMER, 15 MIN GLUTE CHISEL
AN EXTRA SET OF 7 PORTION-CONTROL CONTAINERS*
8-LB. MEDICINE BALL

We did already have containers and shaker cups and a medicine ball but since my husband and I are doing this TOGETHER – we wanted to make sure we had enough of EVERYTHING!

You’ll see from my meal plan above – I am adding in: Energize (pre workout), Energize (post workout) and Recharge (overnight) from the Team Beachbody Performance Line. This is an intense program and I am looking to get max results and I know these will help me get there! I am not nearly as sore this week as I was in week 1 and far less than I anticipated – I know these vitamin packed supplements are helping on that road to recovery!!!

My hubs is also adding in the Hydrate during his workouts and creatine!

Note the difference in the meal plans – He falls into the second highest and I fall into the lowest – so how do we make it work? Plan it out!

These are literally printed and hanging in the pantry – we tag team the shopping, the chopping and the cooking. Don’t get me wrong…it takes TIME but its worth it.

We both agree this program is hard but its fun and in the running to become our favorite one yet!

And while it is challenging and there are days we don’t want to wake up in the morning but we DO IT ANYWAY. We do it for ourselves – our health – and our family!

My mom even joined in for a 5:00am workout while visiting last week!

Age really is just a number!!
