Scrumptious Egg White Veggie Omelette


Some dishes can definitely look more aesthetically pleasing but this is definitely more scrumptious that the picture communicates :)

 So so delicious and nutricious. This Egg white omelette is loaded with the usual suspects: Red onions, Sweet Onions, Mushrooms and Spinach. 

 Chop up all your veggies and pour them into a cast iron pan till they are nice and sautéed, then add in your egg whites. Add a side of Avocados for healthy fats!! #NOMNOMNOM

Savory Garlic Butter Lobster Tails & Asian Salad


Savory Garlic Butter Lobster Tails & Asian Salad
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 40mins
Serves: 2-4


Ingredients: 
Lobster Tails (Frozen or Fresh),Bagged Artisan Salad, Spinach
Black Pepper
Butter
Minced Garlic Cumin, Salt, Cherry Tomatoes, Asian Style Salad Dressing 


Can you tell I love Garlic Butter by now? Seriously, it is a perfect blend of flavor especially for seafood and vegetables. Today, I am incorporating the savory sauce with Lobster Tails. This dish is very (suprisingly) easy to make and quick. 

Lobster Tails at a 5-Star Restaurant are generally $35-$50 for just ONE Lobster Tail. Insane when you can actually go to your local Sprouts or Farmer's Market and get a Lobster Tail for $6-$10 each. We are going to whip this up in 5 steps.

Step 1:
 The first thing that you want to do is purchase your lobster tails. They are generally chilled but not frozen - however if they are frozen, soak them in room temperature water to defrost them. 
Step 2: 
Once your Lobster Tails are defrosted, begin to cut the length of the shell of the Lobster to expose the meat. Set your lobster tail aside and begin to prepare your Garlic Butter sauce. 
Step 3:
 Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, place 1 TBSP of Butter, 1 TSP of Cumin, 1 TSP of  Minced Garlic and a pinch of Salt. Warm the mixture until the butter is melted and mix well. 
Step 4: 
Place your Lobster Tails in a baking or grilling pan and pour the garlic butter mixture over the Lobster Tails. Place in the oven for 25 mins at 400 degrees. 
Step 5: 
While your Lobster Tail is cooking, you want to assemble your salad. The salad I have made in my dish is a mixture of 1 handful of spinach and 1 handful or bagged artisan salad. You can use the salad of your choice. Add cherry tomatoes, carrots or anything else you like on your salad and drizzle the salad dressing of your choice. In order to make your salad asian inspired, I suggest using a salad dressing that is soy sauce based. 

After 20 minutes, check your Lobster Tails and once they are done, plate with your salad. Feel free to garnish your Lobster Tails with Parsley or Black Pepper for that extra kick. Although this dish looks super fancy and delectable, no one would guess it took you 30 minutes to make. It'll be our little secret!

Wellness Talk: Green Juice


Wellness Talk: Green Juice

You know when you have an amazing weekend of eating whatever you want? I mean ALL the french fries, ice cream, cheesecake and soda you want? Then comes Monday and you feel absolutely gross? This happens to me more than I would like to admit, especially around the holidays. Because well, #YOLO can only justify so much. If you can relate (please say you can relate!), I have your 5 minute fix for that icky feeling. Two words: Green Juices. 

Now, in no way am I advocating the regular practice of this - but when you have been feeling less than nutritious and know you haven't been eating healthily, swapping your breakfast for a green juice is a great way to get back on track. Even if you haven't had a weekend of icky eating; grabbing a green juice at the airport for an early flight instead of a coffee is also a very smart dietary choice. I find that a green juice instead of coffee early in the morning gives the same alertness without the caffeine spike so you can still snooze on the plane #winning.

There are TONS and TONS of green juices on the market - sadly most are laden with sugars and all sorts of acids and other things no one can pronounce. The Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens and Lemon Green Juice is by far my favorite. This Evolution Fresh Juice contains Celery, Apple, Cucumber, Spinach, Kale, Romaine, Lime, Lemon and Parsley. Can we say #hellahealthy?! In addition compared to other juices I found that the evolution fresh green juice was very low in sugar and sodium. 8oz of the Evolution Fresh Juices have 10g of Sugar and 150mg of Sodium. Compared to other well-known juices; these are low numbers for the nutrition this juice packs. Still, if you can homemade is always best! But if you are on the go - these are the go to! 


You can purchase these juices at select Starbucks stores.
