PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA OMELET

2-3 eggs (1/2 - 3/4 cup egg substitute)
1 banana, in slices
2T chunky or creamy natural peanut butter
pinch of sugar

Instructions:

1. Place a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Spray with cooking spray and pour in the eggs.

2. Sprinkle some sugar into the eggs and place sliced bananas into pan as demonstrated below:

3. Lift the sides of the omelette up to allow the still-liquid eggs to flow underneath and cook. After a few minutes, flip the omelette over with a large spatula.

4. Spread a generous coating of peanut butter onto one half of the omelette as shown below. Fold the omelette over and allow to cook for another minute. Flip it onto the other side for one last minute and serve!

Additional Info:

Yes it’s a very different flavor combo than you’re probably used to. But it’s also surprisingly tasty! I normally enjoy my eggs with ketchup but I don’t think it works in this situation. But a nice strawberry or apricot jelly might work well as a dipping sauce, though I cleaned my plate before I thought of that.

MUSCLE CHOW!!!

Peanut Butter Muscle Bombs

• 2 c all natural unsalted,      crunchy PB, drained of separated oil
• 2 scoops vanilla whey protein      powder (I substitute this with 1 scoop whey and 1 scoop of Optimum      Nutrition’s vanilla casein)
• 1/4 c + 1 Tbsp molasses
• 2 Tbsp flaxseeds

Step 1
In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients. This takes some muscle

Step 2
Form the mixture into walnut-size balls. Place in a container lined with waxed paper or parchment, separating each layer with another sheet of waxed paper/parchment

Step 3
Chill in freezer or fridge for at least 2 hours before serving (Gregg likes them best frozen)

Basic Southwest Chicken recipie:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8.75 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 pinch ground cumin

DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides. Add tomatoes with green chile peppers, beans and corn. Reduce heat and let simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Add a dash of cumin and serve.

Now this is a very flexible recipie, in the mood for something a little smokey? Use regular diced tomatoes and add a chipotle pepper or two with the adobe sauce and add a bit of chili powder. Want a bit more kick? A couple of dashes of cayenne pepper (be careful a little goes a long way) Want a little zing? And some lime juice. Really you can go on forever with stuff like that. I make something similar to this every week, it is very tasty!!

Pico de gallo!

3 large tomatos
one clove minced garlic
medium onion
jalapeno’s (I use 2 but if you like it hotter, you can use more)
juice from 1/2 a lemon
cilantro to taste
pinch of salt (I use a little sea salt)

*** Dice tomatos, jalapeno’s and onion, mix in a bowl, add chopped cilantro and minced garlic. Mix well, add salt and juice from lemon, mix. Cover and store in refrigerator. Enjoy

Taco Salad

2 servings

Fast food taco salads are considered one of the highest fat, highest calorie choices at Mexican fast food restaurants. Ours is a wonderful alternative. Grate the cheese and add to the salad. Warm the beans if you like and add a little ground chicken, turkey or crumbled tempeh. Even though the carbohydrate content of this salad seems high, it has a very low glycemic index. The beans are also a rich source of folic acid and contribute to the high fiber content.

Prep time: 10 minutes

4 cups lettuce, torn into pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 cup pinto beans, drained of juice
2 oz baked tortilla chips, broken into pieces
1/4 cup salsa

In a salad bowl, mix together the vegetables, pinto beans and tortilla chips. Add the salsa and stir gently to blend.

So, I just bought a bottle of super pum 250 today and am anxious to try it out!!

I need to have a form of accoutability for my personal fitness goals and would like to have others join me in this transformation I will be occuring and maintaining!!! I am really going to focus for my shorterm goal of 6 months to lose 20 lbs. I plan to eat the "plain" "boring" foods. I will try to steer away from processed foods. Realistically I will quit drinking completely after the nye… not so much for a resoultion but it will be easier for me to be achieved and focus once the holiday times are over. to show changes in my progress I will be up loading pictures often.  I have the fitness part down, no doubt about that. I will maintain hitting the gym for atleast 5 days a week, and strive to make it 6 days a week. I fell off the band wagon and gained 20 pounds, ate like crap, and started to make my self not look so well to what i would like to be.  So with the help of this website, and the network of people on here who provide inspiration,motivation, and encouragement. I know I will be able to acheive my goals, and hope to help others out as well.   Omar!
