Double Recipe Day..

I haven't eaten such a delicious lunch in a very long time. Thai Chicken-Broccoli Wrap is beyond delicious and it's only:

Ingredients
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken-breast strips

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

3. To assemble, spread tortillas with peanut sauce. Top with chicken strips and vegetable mixture. Roll up each tortilla, securing with a toothpick. Cut in half; serve immediately.



I woke up and ran:


After my run and before I hit the gym, I had sliced strawberries and water for breakfast. For dinner I made chili; it was ok. I say only ok because it was a little bland.

Super Light Mexican Chili con carne with beans

4 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium yellow onion, cut into find dice
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into fine dice
One 35-ounce canned whole plum tomatoes, roughly chopped juices reserved
3 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp ground cumin
12 ounces ground turkey breast
One 14-ounce can black beans, drained
1 cup shredded 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese

  1. In a dutch oven, add garlic, onion, pepper, tomato, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to low, cover and simmer for about 8 minutes (until the veggies are tender).
  2. Raise the heat back up to high and add the ground turkey. Make sure you break up the turkey. Add black beans, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to lower, cover and simmer for about 8 minutes (until the turkey is cooked)
  3. Top with cheese, if desired.
