Greedy Recipe! Coconut Mini Cinnamon Rolls

My hubs doesn’t like this recipe because it doesn’t use butter or granulated sugar. He’s freakin batshit. The rest of the greedy fam loved my Coconut Mini Cinnamon Rolls. C’mon, let’s gnaw on these together….

Looks good, doesn’t it?

THE INGREDIENTS…

the mini rolls

the icing

1 cup powered sugar: don’t be scared of this measurement, because you’re only going to use as much icing as you like. There may be some leftover.2 tbsp skim milk or almond milk1.5 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.Lay seamless dough flat on aluminum foil or parchment. If using crescent rolls, piece them together to form a seamless dough.Smather on melted coconut manna (melt on low heat in a pan on stove), coconut sugar and cinnamon in that order. You may need to you use your hand to spread each layer evenly across the dough.Roll the dough longways into a tight log.Cut 1-inch sections and place on cookie sheet that has been very lightly spray or oiled.Bake for 11-13 minutes.Prep icing ingredients by mixing all together while the rolls bake.Drizzle icing onto warm rolls and feed your stomach this wonderful piece of heaven. Ahhh!

Here’s the layer of coconut manna, coconut sugar and cinnamon spread out on the dough. Don’t over-do it on the cinnamon:

Roll it into a log and cut into 1-inch sections. The rolling process can get sticky, so be patient and take it slow.

Be sure to place the rolls onto the cookie sheet very gently, or they might fall apart. Ooey-gooey deliciousness is the final result.

Do some Googling on the health benefits of Coconut Manna and Coconut Sugar. You’ll be mind-boggled. Those ingredients are an excellent substitution for traditional cinnamon rolls. BOOM!

VitaCake ‘Recipe’ Contest Winners Announced!

I’m not sure where the time went, but it’s been more than a month since I hosted the Chocolate Raspberry Mini VitaCake ‘Recipe’ Contest!

A month!

Whew! Time is flying.

Anyway, I’m not going to hold up the announcement any further with my blabbering. Vitalicious LOVED everyone’s submissions and had a hard time picking a winner. In the end in came down to uniqueness and the pears took it home.

Winner: Paula’s “I Don’t Have a Name for This” Pear Yummy Goodness!

I don’t really have a name for it, but this is how I like to have it for dessert now and again, and I usually have these items on hand:

In a small pan I put a can of sliced pears (canned in pear juice) add about 1/2 the juice to the pan, add 2 tablespoons of raspberry low-sugar jelly or preserves or strawberry (if you don’t have raspberry). Add a teaspoon of cinnamon and simmer until the jelly/preserves have melted and the juice is slightly thicker. Heat 1 Chocolate Raspberry Mini VitaCake in a bowl in the microwave as directed on package. Pour 1/2 the pear mixture over the VitaCake and enjoy. Don’t forget to make one for your loved one for the other half of the pear yummy goodness!

According to Vitalicious, which calculated the nutritional information, Paula’s dessert is 97 calories, with 1 g fat, 25 g carbs, 6 g fiber, and 2 g protein.

Paula wins 48 Chocolate Raspberry Mini VitaCakes!

But that’s not all!  <– said in my game show voice. 

We have 3 runners-up each winning a 24 pack of Chocolate Raspberry Mini VitaCakes!

Runner Up: Janine

 I’m really excited about finally entering one of your contests! This is one of my favorite ways to eat the chocolate vita-cakes but I think it will taste even better with the chocolate raspberry vita-cake. Here’s what I do: I take mandarin oranges without any added sugar and add them to a small bowl of raspberries. I do add some of the juice depending on how many raspberries I use. I eyeball this and use about equal amounts of oranges and raspberries. Then I take about a teaspoon of orange marmalade and spread that over the vita-cake. Then I take about 1-2 tablespoons of lite cool-whip and add a drop of rum extract. I mix this together until its fully incorporated. I take about 2 tablespoons of the orange and raspberry mixture and spoon it over the marmalade covered vita-cake and then top it off with the cool whip mixture. Sometimes if I have it in the house I’ll add a layer of the strawberry laughing cow cheese before I add the cool whip and then sprinkle some crushed graham cracker crumbs on top or a few more berries and oranges. It looks really pretty if it’s served in a small clear glass.

Runner Up: Tracy

I eat 2-3 Vitatops daily — so yes, I am obsessed. This is my favorite way to eat it and would be awesome with the raspberry mini vitacake for a snack:

1 Raspberry VitaCake toasted

1/2 cup Fage Greek yogurt

2 teaspoons chia seeds

sweetener packet

2-3 teaspoons dark cocoa powder

Put all ingredients in a bowl except for VitaCake and mix well

Put toasted VitaCake on top and break up, mixing into yogurt

Voila! Amazing snack!!

Runner Up: Emily

 PB&J VitaCake style- Split lengthwise, spread 1 T PB and 1 T Raspberry all-fruit jam, stack sides back together. Yum!

Congratulations, guys! I’ll be in touch via email ASAP so we can get your prizes shipped out!

Greedy Recipe! Flat Abs Scramble

Awwww-yeah! This is another flat abs recipe brought to you by yours truly. When I’m not gulping on Shakeology in the morning, the Flat Abs Scramble is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts. It’s also extra-versatile. By adding a little bit of cooked brown rice to the dish, it’s immediately transformed into an awesome lunch or satisfying dinner dish that’s well pleasing to the stomachs.

Fla Abs Scramble is the perfect dish to pack ‘n go, especially for work. It goes from prep to lunch container in less than 10-minutes. Yes, ya’ll. Clean eating is super easy for you to do.

INGREDIENTS (serves 1)

3 thick tomato slices1/2 medium green pepper1/2 medium onion1-2 eggs ~ for protein (you choose how many eggs)1 cup Minute Ready to Serve Brown Rice (optional)coconut milk or coconut oil (for saute’ing)

DIRECTIONS

1. Dice all veggie ingredients and add to the pan with a splash of coconut milk or other saute’ing option of your choice.

2. Right before veggies are cooked to your desired consistency, crack 1-2 eggs into the center of the pan with veggies. Cover pan and allow egg(s) to cook in ‘sunny side up’ fashion until almost firm.

3. Break the yolk(s) and continue to cook until egg(s) are done. Try not to mix the eggs around in the pan too much.

4. Spatula-scoop entire dish into your packing container and head to the office or wherever it is your ass needs to be on time. If you’re late to work, just say to your boss, “Pipe it down, why don’t ya! I was busy cooking healthy food to cut back on employer healthcare costs.” …it’ll work like a charm.

5. Optionally, pack your Minute Ready to Serve Brown Rice as well and heat in microwave before adding to your scramble. The rice will give you extra protein.

That’s it! Now start chewing!

If you’ve been working hard, but still a little frustrated with your stomachs area, then now’s the time to focus on a cleaner diet and consider a more challenging strength training routine. If you’re easy-breezing through your strength workouts, you need to add more intensity if you want better results.

Greedy Recipe! Coconut Curried Chicken with Cabbage and Kale

Holla-holla for coconut curried chicken! This is clean eating ya’ll. After my 3rd curried-dish attempt using 3 different types of curry, this Greedy Recipe ranks up there with “Hot-dang! Gimme s’more of dat!”

Don’t you wanna hot-dang with me?

Coconut curried chicken is flat abs friendly. It’s also quick & easy, especially for packing lunch. I prep this meal around 6am before my morning workout. It’s time to eat clean and prosper…

COCONUT CURRIED CHICKEN INGREDIENTS (serves 1)

4-5 ounces chicken breast. sliced or cubed. the thinner the pieces of chicken, the better.2 cups raw, fresh cabbage. sliced/chopped2 garlic cloves. smashed, then chopped1 handful of fresh kale, chopped1 small onion or 1/2 medium onion2-4 tablespoons coconut milk2 heaping teaspoons curry seasoning (not curry powder)

DIRECTIONS

Unleash your inner ninja-knife skills by prepping all ingredients with the required slicing & chopping techniques. Be sure to start with the cabbage and garlic first, as letting those ingredients sit for a few minutes after chopping adds to their health benefits.Add the chicken and all chopped veggies to the pan.Add coconut milk and then slap in the curry seasoning.Stir fry on medium heat until chicken is thoroughly cooked and cabbage has softened.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The coconut milk helps to keep the dish moist. It’s also a substitute for oil.Choose a paste-ish type of curry and that’s mixed with extra spices (see the ingredients for Spur Tree Curry Seasoning). Do not use plain, dry curry powder for this recipe.All ingredients are loosey-goosey. No need to be all scientific and technical about it. Add a little more or a little less of each ingredient depending on your taste.If you’re feeling kinda greedy, go on and add cooked rice to the final dish to make it heartier.

Now go. Enjoy your meal and be curry-fied.

Homemade Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo): Ingredients

Delicious Quinoa Tabbouleh Recipe (guest post).

First let me just say that I met Carla in person at a recent Fitness Magazine event in New York City; and saying that her passion and energy are remarkable would be an understatement. I blog over at www.Kodjoworkout.com, and similar to Carla, one of my passions is to spread as much knowledge as possible, on health and fitness issues, including healthy eating. So that brings us to the topic du jour, where I’m introducing a delicious quinoa recipe. Hope you enjoy the post, and would love to hear your much anticipated feedback!

As the video above revealed, I was not familiar with quinoa until we shot this segment, so don’t feel bad if you didn’t know anything about quinoa either. In any event, I’m very happy to report that since we shot this video, quinoa has found a full-time home in my kitchen cabinets, and for good reason! So let’s see why we should all take a better look at this delectable seed called quinoa.

Most people believe quinoa is a whole grain, however it is a seed. Short of a better analogy, it is an organic gluten-free and cholesterol-free whole grain. For those who are looking to jump ships from white rice to something much healthier, you should get more quinoa in your diet. Just to give you a sense of what it feels like when fully prepared, quinoa has a fluffy and creamy appearance, and a crunchy taste.

When your schedule involves running around running around all day, quinoa should make it a little less painless in the kitchen, as it is relatively quick to cook (about 15 minutes). The benefits of quinoa do not stop there. This seed contains a large amount of protein (12-15%) and is a source of all 9 essential amino acids. It also contains a healthy amount of manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, fiber, copper and folate.

There is no denying that quinoa is a tasty delight; what makes it even more valuable is the plethora of health benefits it carries; below are just a few:

Quinoa repairs tissues: Thanks to its content of lysine (an amino acid), quinoa helps grow and repair tissues in your body.

Quinoa eases migraine: Migraine is no fun; but what’s even worse are the chemical-loaded, commercial medications used to attempt to ease it. A much healthier way to get rid of your migraine is to switch to a quinoa-rich diet. Thru its content of magnesium quinoa helps relax blood vessels, which in turn eases the pressure from the migraine.

Quinoa makes the heart healthier: When your diet is low in magnesium, your risk of developing heart disease increases significantly. As mentioned above, quinoa provides magnesium to your cells, helping expand the blood vessels, allowing an adequate amount of blood to be channeled to the heart.

Quinoa prevents cell oxidation: Because quinoa is rich in manganese, it slows considerably our cells propensity to oxidize. Cell oxidation causes major degenerative diseases and is the leading source of aging.

Quinoa helps strengthen your bone: Vegans and lactose-intolerant people will certainly appreciate this; quinoa contains calcium, which builds and maintains bones and teeth.

Quinoa Tabbouleh is a delicious recipe that can be served solo, with pita bread, or even as a side dish. If you want all of its flavors to soak in before you eat the quinoa tabbouleh, you may leave it in the fridge for 24 hours.

Ingredients Needed
The below should be able to feed four to six people

-One cup of dry quinoa
-Two cloves garlic
-1/2 red onion
-Two medium tomatoes
-Two cups of parsley
-Mint (about 1/2 cup)
-Eight ounces of feta cheese
-1/4 cup good extra-virgin olive oil
-Two tablespoons of lemon juice
-Extra lemon juice to taste
-Salt to taste

Cooking direction

Make sure to properly rinse your quinoa. Boil 2 cups of water in add the quinoa along with half a teaspoon of salt. Cover it up and let it cook for 15-20 minutes. You know it’s done when the quinoa appears fluffy.

Then dice two medium tomatoes into small pieces (remove the seeds). Also mince in the garlic, mint and parsley finely. In the meantime, dice up half an onion in a bowl of water with salt and set aside.

Remove the cooked quinoa from the pot and let it sit at room temperature. Once it cools down, add some lemon juice, olive oil, and a bit of salt to taste. Also add the parsley, onions, tomatoes mint and garlic and stir the mixture. Spread some feta cheese on top and gently stir again.

That’s it! Your quinoa tabbouleh recipe is officially completed! Congrats

Dinner is ready:

Come join me for dinner for this delicious quinoa tabbouleh, served with Chicken Marbella…Better hurry up because I might just eat it all

Greedy Recipe! Tender, Juicy Turkey Burgers

A bun. The burger. With some ketchup slapped inside.

Turkey burgers aren’t exactly revolutionary. Mine may not look real fancy, but when this burger connects with your chewing-jaws, you’ll be like “knick-knack, paddy-whack, gimme more of dat!”

If you want a turkey burger that’s full of flavor and a tender, juicy sensation, then mix these ingredients into your ground turkey and cook it up like so…

TENDER, JUICY TURKEY BURGERS

Serves up to 7 greedy peoples

Ingredients

2 lbs ground turkey1/4 cup Italian seasoned panko bread crumbs1/4 cup minced onion flakes1 tbsp parsley flakes1 tbsp olive oilsprinklings of garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, and salt (don’t be heavy-handed)

Directions

Add all ingredients to bowl (except for olive oil) and mix thoroughly. Be sure to crumble parsley flakes with your hands as you add it to the bowl.Heat pan to medium-high and add olive oil.While the oil heats, form burger into patties.Add patties to the pan with a few light splashes of water, then partially cover with lid to encourage steaminess.As water evaporates in the pan, add additional splashes to keep patties from sticking AND to encourage more steam. Keep pan partially covered. The steaming action and partially covered pan is the key to tender juiciness.Cook approximately 15 minutes total, flipping once during cooking. Patties are done when juices run clear.

This is a healthy meal that even your family will wanna sink their teefs into. It’s quick to make and pretty inexpensive. My side dish in the background is baked eggplant fries (Food Trap Alert coming soon for the tasty deets on those fries).

Now, GO! Eat. And be healthy.

Healthy Smoothie Recipe

My apologies to Claudia Roscoe. She made a TASTY smoothie that looked not so tasty. Click on title to see cooking segmet and recipe.

It Tastes Like a Cookie Protein Shake (Click link for more great ideas from Claudia)
Protein shakes are easy to make. Once you get going, it’s fun to explore new recipes and ideas.

In a blender:
1 scoop Lifetime Vanilla plant protein
2 TBLS. Thai Coconut milk
2 teas. Barlean’s Pina Colada Fish oil
8 oz. Purified water

Any protein powder can be used, just visit your local health food store to get a quality one. Lifetime plant protein is delicious, has a creamy texture and is soy, dairy, egg and gluten free, for those of you that may be sensitive to those foods. It is vegan as well.
Other milk alternatives you might try are almond milk or hemp milk. Add in some fresh or frozen berries (organic of course!) and you can even put a little almond butter, walnut butter or sunflower butter for added creaminess and good taste! Remember your good oils; there are many to choose from…hemp, flax, coconut, safflower, and sesame are just a few to mention. Just make sure they are nature-made and not man-made. Have a little flax, chia or hemp as well? Throw it in there for some wonderful food fiber

Greedy Recipe: 3PM Workday Power Muffins

Afternoons at work can suck. By 3pm my morning workout endorphins are definitely depleted and I’m just about annoyed with sitting in the dang office chair at this point. So you know how men think about sex almost 20 times per day? Well, on workday by 3pm, I’ve probably thought about muffins and cupcakes and other forms of delectable goodness more than 472 times already.

Don’t worry. They’re just thoughts. I don’t act on these impulses.

So the idea of a “Power Muffin” recently popped into my head. I wanted a muffin that’s tasty, yet works for me with a seriously healthy power boost. This muffin must also whiplash my stomachs into satisfaction so I don’t fall prey to unhealthy crap before dinner.

Wouldn’t you agree that to be powerful?

After turning to Google, it seems the idea of Power Muffins has already been done a gazillion times over in all kinds of different ways. So instead of reinventing the muffin from scratch, I chose Oh She Glows Flax & Oat Breakfast Power Muffin recipe and adapted it with very slight changes to fit my empowerment needs.

Here’s what I did and this is what I call it:

3PM Workday Power Muffins (adapted from Angela Liddon at Oh She Glows)

Ingredients

1 large ripe banana2 tsp olive oil1 eggJust shy of 1/4 cup brown sugar (unpacked)1/2 cup ground flaxseed1/4 cup whole wheat flour(heaping) 1/2 cup oats1/2 tsp baking soda1 small handful crushed walnut pieces

Directions

Preheat over to 350 and place cupcake liners into muffin tin.Mash banana in bowl and then mix in oil, egg and sugar.In separate bowl, mix flaxseed, flour, oats and walnuts. Then combine with wet ingredients and stir until blended.Spoon mixture into muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes (or a few minutes longer if not done yet).

Yields 5-6 muffins. Approximately 200 calories per muffin.

Wohoo! And you see how my muffins turned out in the pic. Delish. Nice and moist with a subtle hint of sweetness. Just perfect. And you gotta read up on the benefits of flaxseed. The knowledge of the flaxseed will send shockwaves into your cranium — high in Omega 3's and protects against cancer to name a few. Do NOT ignore foods that protect against cancer!

Okie dokie. Love you much,

Josie

Greedy Recipe! Parsley Red Potatoes (It’s Tasty ‘n Stuff)

Start right here, with Green Giant red potatoes. I got the 10 pound bag, because the peoples in my house are excessively greedy. My Parsley Red Potatoes are great as part of a family meal, holiday meal (think Easter), or anytime meal on a day when you’ve worked out hardcore and need some extra fuel. I am NOT afraid of the occasional dish of red potatoes. My metabolism embraces it.

So do this:

Whoops! Forgot to add a pic that shows where you boil the potatoes after you cube them, BEFORE you move on to pic #3.

And that’s parsley flakes in pic #3 with some buttah. Go on and be parley-generous, because that’s where the extra flavors will bitch-slap your taste buds into ecstasy. Heat up the butter and parsley flakes until sizzly, then add the boiled potatoes cubes and stir around gently until coated with the parsley. It’s even better to get a little golden brown sear going on those potatoes.

Add some salt, and waalaaa! The final product is fanciness and wonderment. Parsley Red Potatoes is so simple, yet so powerfully delicious. It totally transforms a basic red potato into a supah star! You will be an instant hero to anyone you feed them to.

…and I’m totally giggly at this video from Green Giant. Yes, I’m in it, so watch it! Does this mean I’m famous now?? Oh, never mind then.

Greedy Recipe! So Delicious Low Cal Strawberry Shortcake

Hell yes. This is my own creation. It’s one of the most delectable, low calorie homemade treats to ever connect with my food trap. Here’s the final creation, but let’s rewind the recipe so you can see how it’s made.

There’s no baking involved and it’s literally ready in minutes. I constructed my cake within a wine glass, because I’m fancy like that. I can sense that you’re the fancy type, too.

There are only 3 ingredients:

1) Angel Food Cake: This type of cake contains about 72 calories per 1/12 slice. It’s main ingredient is egg whites and contains NO butter, with minimal sugar compared to other kinds of cake. You can usually grab an Angel Food Cake in your grocer’s bakery department for cheap (about $4 to $5).

2) Fresh Strawberries: Do NOT buy frozen. Snag some fresh Driscoll’s strawberries if you can. Driscoll’s has never done me wrong. Always fresh, always the tastiest.

3) Strawberry Yogurt: The yogurt I used was brought fresh from the Amish peoples, but Chobani Greek Strawberry yogurt will do just fine as well.

Slice about 1.5 cups strawberries and cube about 1.5 cups Angel Food Cake.

Construct your cake within the glass by layering the 3 ingredients in this order:

1-2 dollops of strawberry yogurtAngel Food cubesStrawberry slices

Then repeat the layers.

The final product delivers moist, spongy cubes of Angel Food decadence accented by fresh berries and yogurt that mimics a real, high calorie Strawberry Shortcake. The ingredients are a heavenly trio that were meant to be together. The greedy side of your brain will think you’re snacking on a sinister no-no, but a generous portion of So Delicious Strawberry Shortcake with its healthy benefits will only run you an estimated 300 calories.

I ate a glass of cake today and I’ll be damned if I don’t eat me another glass next weekend. Won’t you do the same?

If you’re inspired by the idea of delectable recipes containing fresh berries, then make Driscoll’s berry recipes and ideas your next interwebs destination.

Huh? FREE Shakeology from the Yum Yucky?

The requests for free samples has been overwhelming and I want to share with as many people as possible. Soon I will reveal how YOU can get your own free sample, courtesy of the Yum Yucky! (and I am happy that the Shakeology t-shirt makes my boobs look bigger)

90 Days of Shakeology: Days 42-62 It was a rough 20 days. I got super busy with just about everything – work, home, kids, blogging, ebook writing – I’ve been late for work, running on about 4 hours sleep each night, and NOT slurping my Shakeology consistently. In the time when I need it most, I slacked off and made excuses why I couldn’t take 5 dang minutes every day to make the shake that has personally proven itself to give me the energy I so desperately need. In the last 20 days, I’ve had my Shakeology probably 10 times. So that’s basically every other day instead of consistently EVERY day. What’s wrong with that, you say? Welp, I do feel the difference. It’s had a backwards affect and been serious energy drain. I’ve skipped days of Shakeology here and there before with no lost affects, but to skip days for such an extended period of time does not work for me. I’m glad I know this now. I’m listening to my body and back doing what I need to do, so perhaps this was a necessary lesson. I’ve always looked at Shakeology in terms of what it can do for ME and me only, but it’s benefits were actually helping me to also do what I need to do for my family, while giving me the natural boost I need to do everything that my crazy days demand….. Check out what a Twitter bud of mine says about Shakeology. And if you haven’t watched this video yet: See What Doctors Are Saying About Shakeology, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Weight Progress

Day 1: 172.8 pounds

Day 62: 166.4 pounds

I’m not intimidated by slow weight loss, especially since I’m building muscle, and that affects the number on the scale. I’m in a size 6 and have noticed more muscle definition. My abs are especially coming along nicely.
