Quinoa Veggie Chili

October 11, 2012 by Chandra Filed Under: Blog, CrockPot, Recipes Leave a Comment

I’ve been wanting to do more vegetarian dinner options and remembered that I had an amazing quinoa chili for lunch one day a few months ago.  It was so good, I decided to whip up a batch of my own creation with some locally grown veggies.  I was surprised at how easy it was and quite frankly how great it tasted.   [Read more…]

15 Bean Stew/Soup

September 30, 2012 by Chandra Filed Under: Blog, CrockPot, Recipes 1 Comment

We had a crazy busy weekend planned which started with a garage sale and ended with  a lot of meals and snacks prepped for the week.  I am about to pass out!  But the week should be a breeze.

Friday night we prepped and set up for our neighborhood bi-annual garage sale.  We like to participate in this, not only is it fun, we make a few extra bucks AND we purge a bunch of stuff we’ve accumulated over the last few months.  I know – if we didn’t buy the stuff we wouldn’t need to purge, but most of the stuff is our son’s old toys and clothes, plus any additional nick nacks or kitchen items we just don’t need anymore.  The bonus is that whatever we make at the garage sale goes towards our son’s birthday or Christmas presents.  Dave Ramsey would be proud!

After the garage sale on Saturday morning, it was off to the grocery store for the weekly shopping, then came all the cleaning and prepping.  I like to wash all the fruits and veggies when I get home from the farmers market or grocery store so that it’s easy to just grab and go or prep for dinners. I made sure to not only prep for the week’s snacks {typical snacks packs below}, but to also prep the veggies for the dinners for the week.

On Sunday, we went to church and a birthday party, then I prepped some meals for the week.  I made 15 Bean Stew {below}, beef enchiladas, turkey meatballs, chicken tenders AND prepped a kale & apple stuffed pork tenderloin {recipe and post to come later this week}.  All I can say is I am BEAT – but this week should be a breeze!  Plus, the extra bonus is we have two meals frozen – I froze 1/2 the enchiladas and 15 Bean Stew!

TESTIMONIALS

What an absolutely fun and educational class!  My daughter loved getting to control her veggie selections but also have the opportunity to try things she hadn’t before.  This class is an amazing perspective for kids to learn how to make healthy food choices.  She loved it so much that she made it at home and was so proud to pick the ingredients.  Thank you Chandra for making food fun!  My daughter can’t wait for the next class!

Vitalizer, vita-strip is my go-to for daily health. I’m a busy, working mom and it’s so nice to know my supplements will come right to my doorstep. Some days are so hectic that I don’t have time to cook a healthy meal or exercise, but I know I’ve done something great for my body by taking Vitalizer. I even took it as a prenatal vitamin (along with some extra B complex) knowing it was safe and healthy for my baby and myself.

My 5 year old son loved the Healthy Hands cooking class and has told all of our family about how he got to cook “purple carrots.” He’s also telling them about all of the other veggies he tried and was so proud of his cooking skills he’s offered to cook for his grandparents the next time they are in town!  I loved that he was willing to try several new vegetables and would definitely recommend Chef Chandra to any mom who wants her family to start eating healthy!

I have been eating pretty healthy for a while now, but typically get derailed by the end of the week due to being overwhelmed and under prepared.  I was lucky enough to be chosen to test pilot the Unjunk Your Diet program for the last 3 weeks and I love it!  I found that it was easy to follow, the meal organization tips helped me stay on track ALL week, the recipes are really delicious and simple to make, and as a side benefit I’ve lost 4 lbs!!!  I thought I felt good before, but my energy is through the roof these day….woohoo!!!
