The last sauce goes better with beef or lamb. 

Fresh mango salsa is one of my favorite additions I add to fish or chicken.  It is a staple of my healthy eating plans.

I particularly like to make fish tacos with it.

Fresh Mango Salsa:

2 cups diced mango
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1/2 cucumber (peeled, seeded and diced)
1 jalapeno chili, seeded and minced
Juice of 1 lime
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Combine all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper and then add to your favorite meat.

Smoky Pepper Puree:

1 cup drained and chopped roasted red peppers
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 canned chipotle pepper, seeded
2 garlic cloves, minced

Blend the ingredients in a food processor until smooth, and add salt to taste.

Classic Chimichurri:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp red-pepper flakes

Combine all the ingredients and let the mixture stand for at least 1 hour.  Add salt to taste. 

I have used the mango salsa recipe for a long time now and can’t remember where I got it from, but the other two sauces I found in a Men’s Health magazine.

Gaining weight and losing weight are opposite goals that each require their own healthy eating guidelines.

Protein shakes can be used for quick weight loss or muscle building.  According to healthy eating guidelines, less calories should be consumed when weight loss is the goal, so make meal replacement weight loss shakes with water.  For weight gain and muscle building, use milk.

Healthy eating guidelines apply to all areas of your diet plans, so keep them in mind whenever you’re deciding on which ingredients to use.

Spicy Orange Bison Meatballs

Makes 24 Small Meatballs
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground bison
• 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Preparation:

Add the bison, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire, salt, black pepper, and garlic to a mixing bowl. Mix together with wet hands until combined. Divide and roll into small balls (about 2 tablespoons mixture per ball).

Add the oil to a deep skillet (one with a lid), preheat on medium, add the meatballs and brown very well on all sides. When done, pour off excess grease, and add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer slowly for 1 hour – stirring occasionally.

Uncover, remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon to a plate and reserve. Turn the heat up to high and boil the sauce until it reduces down to about 1 cup, forming a thick glaze. Turn the heat to low, add the meatballs back in and cook until they are heated through. Taste for salt and spiciness, and adjust if needed. Serve hot.

When you hear "stuffed chicken" you may think of heavy cream sauces on the inside or full of cheeses.  If you go to a restaurant that is usually the type of stuffed chicken you will have available to you.  Well, I have a healthier stuffed chicken option for you that tastes delicious.

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
4 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
2 Tbsp pine nuts
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6oz each), pounded to 1/2" thickness
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups bread crumbs

1.  Heat 1/2 Tbsp olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat.  When hot, add the prosciutto strips.  Cook until lightly crisp, about 1 minute.  Add the spinach, peppers, and pine nuts.  Cook until spinach is fully wilted or about 2-3 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper and then set to the side.

2.  Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board.  Season lightly with salt and pepper.  Divide the spinach mixture and cheese among the breast, cheating the components towards the top of the chicken.  Wrap one end of the chicken around the mix and roll tightly as if making a burrito. 

3.  Combine the eggs in a shallow bowl.  Mix the bread crumbs on a plate.  Dredge the chicken first in the eggs, then in the crumbs, making sure they’re fully coated. 

4.  Wipe out the saute pan and heat the remaning oil in the pan over medium heat.  Add the chicken and cook on all sides until the crust is golden brown and the chicken is cooked all the way through.  This should take about 10 minutes. 

Enjoy this healthy stuffed chicken that is loaded with protein to help with your weight loss and providing you a delicious meal for your healthy eating plans.

Don’t miss the recipe for healthy blueberry ice cream

Blueberry Ice Cream

2 scoops Prograde Protein Vanilla
1/2 cup blueberries
12oz almond milk

Blend Prograde protein powder, almond milk and blueberries together in a blender until it is mixed well.  Then put in the freezer to freeze.  Once frozen then enjoy!

Tip: Healthy ice cream will come out harder than conventional high fat, high sugar ice creams.  My suggestion is to portion out the blended mix into serving bowls or tupperware bowls and then freeze.  Then just take out your serving and let it set on the counter for 10 minutes.  If you can’t wait that long put it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so and then enjoy!
