The Friday 5

Image
Hi, guys! Happy FRIYAY to you! I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day yesterday. I actually documented ours via old school blogging, so I plan to share a recap here soon. I’m really trying to get my ish together as far as CNC Macro Plans + Coaching goes (the building and growing phase of a new biz is no joke!), so, hopefully, I’ll have more time to devote to “day in the life-style” blogging again. Speaking of which, I’m hosting a FREE Macro Bootcamp at the end of the month, and we’ll have an April group for the “Macro the Masters Challenge,” so keep a look out for details in the coming weeks! Since it’s Friday and all, it’s time for another edition of The Friday 5 , where I pick my top 5 favorites from the week. I hope you enjoy this week’s round-up! 🙂 OWYN vegan plant-based protein powder – I’ve received a ton of questions about the new protein powder that I’m using in my iced coffee every morning, so I wanted to share the details here. I recently laid off my beloved SFH beca

Keto Chicken Pot Pies

Pot pies—like sloppy joes —are a comfort food classic that feeds our nostalgia as well as appetite. Meat and veggies in a creamy sauce that’s topped with a crunchy topping…what’s not to love? It might seem, however, that pot pie isn’t compatible with a Primal, let alone keto, plan. Au contraire. We’ve serving up a recipe today that turns that assumption on its head. Pot pie is no longer pie in the sky for the keto eater. Enjoy! Time In the Kitchen: 40 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: For the Filling 4 slices of bacon 1 white or yellow onion, chopped 7 ounces/200 grams pre-cooked chicken (meat from approximately 3-4 chicken thighs) 1 carrot cut into cubes 1/2 cup chopped turnip 2-3 cups chicken stock or bone broth 2 tbsp arrowroot flour Instructions: In a large pan with lid, saute the bacon and onion over medium heat. Add in the carrots and mushrooms. Cook through. Add in chicken and cover the mixture with chicken stock. In a separate pot, stir arrowroot with a dri

Chai Spiced Instant Pot Oatmeal

I thought a warming bowl of oats would be perfect as a heart healthy recipe for Valentine’s Day! S tudies show 3 grams or more of soluble fiber daily from oat bran (part of the whole oat!), as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Let’s all dive into oatmeal today to keep our hearts beating strong.  Ways I Cook Oats Both rolled oats and steel cut oats are nutritionally comparable and have the same heart healthy benefits. Read more about that in my Seed To Spoon tour with Quaker. I like to make rolled oats on the stovetop because they’re so quick to heat up, but steel cut requires a longer cooking process – and one that must be watched (because they can bubble over) and stirred (because they can stick to the bottom).  I’ve been making hands-off steel cut oats in my rice cooker for years on the porridge setting, but that takes quite a while to cook. The Instant Pot is the solution if you want both hands off AND quick. It’s abut
