A Refreshing Summer Cocktail. Not many things are better than a refreshing cocktail on a warm spring or summer day. This beverage is a balance of light and sweet with a hint of sour tartness. It goes down so smooth and is truly perfect for day drinking without the crash or headache! Here’s the recipe: There are just five easy ingredients needed for this drink: fresh lemon juice, cucumber, simple syrup, club soda and gin! For a single drink, here are the measurements: 3 ounces fresh lemon juice 2 slices of cucumber, muddled 2 ounces gin.. sometimes I use 3 😉 2 ounces simple syrup a splash of club soda – for a little extra flavor, sometimes I use Seagram’s ginger ale! Simply place the two slices of cucumber in a shaker, muddle and remove the rinds. Add lemon juice, some ice and simple syrup. Shake vigorously and pour into…
If you follow along on Instagram, you know that,after a week and a half of falling behind on them, I’m recommitting to eating healthy and keeping up with my workouts! That being said, it’s only fitting that I share one of my favorite healthy recipes. These super easy chicken fajitas can be baked in a sheet pan in one fell swoop – which, of course, makes for fast and easy cleanup! To cut some carbs and a bit of calories, I like to wrap my fajita mixture in a nice big lettuce leaf but, of course, you can use corn or flour tortillas if you prefer. Ingredients 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast 1 red bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper 1 large or 2 small onions 2 tablespoons taco seasoning 2 tablespoons olive oil optional toppings: shredded cheese, cilantro, lime wedges, guacamole, sour cream, salsa Directions – Preheat oven to 425…
After a fun weekend out of town with friends, this healthy shrimp stir fry is the perfect dinner to get my food and fitness routine back on track. It, of course, is 21 Day Fix approved – as I’m starting my second Fix today! I will be doing the “doubles option,” which means that during the last week of this Fix I will be doubling up on daily workouts. Since research shows that your resting metabolic rate is elevated for several hours after exercise, doing a quick 30 minute workout in the morning and one in the evening should help to rev up my metabolism and create a catalyst for reaching my goals! 🙂 But, back to my healthy shrimp stir fry! This recipe is not only good for you, but it really was delicious. I love the pairing of red bell peppers with shrimp. You can also add in green veggies…
I have found a really tasty and healthy lunch option – this tuna salad is so delicious! It’s made of just 4 simple ingredients: 2 cans of canned albacore tuna (in WATER), 1 avocado, 1 tbsp lemonaise and the juice of 1 lime. For a little extra crunch and flavor, I sometimes add a chopped dill pickle as well. You simply mix all of these ingredients and you can eat them alone or with crackers, bread or pita chips! I love to make this recipe at the beginning of the week and eat it over the coming days for lunch or for a midday snack 🙂 Hope you all are having a great week!!
