Erin's Grilled Chicken & Berry Salad

you know that chicken and berry salad you can only get at wendys during the summer? well, i ate a lot of those last summer but decided this summer (especially when i saw they changed their dressing and it now has corn syrup!) i wanted to make it at home. luckily, the gals over at ourbestbites.comalready beat me to the idea and their version is waaay better than even the wendys salad. so here is the recipe and the link (cause you'll want to look at the pretty pics). 

Grilled Chicken & Berry SaladRecipe by Our Best Bites, Inspired by the Pigtailed Red-Head of Hamburger Fame
1/2 head Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
6-8 oz. baby spinach
12-16 oz. chicken, marinated, grilled, and sliced*
8 oz. strawberries, sliced
8 oz. blueberries
4 oz. crumbled Feta or shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1 c. sliced almonds, toasted
Berry Poppy Seed Dressing to taste
For serving a large crowd, toss all the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and add dressing to taste. For individual servings, arrange ingredients on plates and serve the dressing on the side. Makes about 8 side dish servings and 4 main dish servings.
*For a vegetarian dish, omit the chicken.

Alicia's BBQ Chicken Salad

• I found this recipe on pinterest (of course) and it is a favorite salad of mine.  I think anything with BBQ sauce is good.
• 
  

• BBQ chicken salad

• 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 2 cups BBQ sauce, storebought or homemade
• ½ head iceberg lettuce, cored and chopped
• 2 romaine hearts, chopped
• 1/2 red onion diced
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cubed small or shredded
• 4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, cubed small or shredded
Creamy BBQ Cilantro Lime Dressing:
• 1 cup mayonnaise, light
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. For the salad, combine the cooked chicken and BBQ sauce in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In a large bowl, toss together the iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, red onion, cilantro, corn, black beans and cheese. Toss the mixed salad with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the dressing, if desired. Otherwise, you can serve the dressing on the side. Place salad on plates and top with the prepared BBQ chicken and additional dressing.
3. For the dressing, combine all the ingredients together and whisk (or shake, if using a jar) vigorously to combine. You could also run this through a blender to make it even more smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

***A note from Erica. I recently found a BBQ sauce at Costco that doesn't have High Fructose Corn Syrup!! That was exciting for me, as I've scoured the supermarket and never found an acceptable version. I'm sure the health food store has a version as well, if you're close to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. I've also made my own before, using tomato sauce, liquid smoke, various flavorings and Agave. ***

Jenn's Italian Turkey Soup

hi ladies,
this is my go-to healthy soup and you can put it in a crockpot, which makes it even better for me :) we make our own chicken broth, so that's what i usually use.
enjoy!
 
Italian Turkey Soup
taken from ourbestbites.com
 
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 small onion (about 3/4 C) diced
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
1 T Dry Italian seasoning 
Salt
Pepper
1 can (15oz) canned diced tomatoes
1 can (15oz) white beans (Cannelini, Great Northern, etc) drained and rinsed
2 14 oz cans chicken broth
1t dry oregano
1/4 t dry basil
1 T dried parsley (or about 1/4 C fresh)
4-6 C fresh spinach
fresh Parmesan cheese
Pour a couple swigs of extra virgin olive oil (1-2 T) into a large stock pot. Turn burner to med-high heat.
When oil is nice and hot, add diced onions, minced garlic, and ground turkey. Stir to combine and add the 1T dry Italian seasoning, along with about 1/2 t salt and several turns of black pepper. Cook until turkey is completely cooked through. 
(If you want to cook this via slow-cooker, place the turkey mixture in the crock pot now and continue. Although, you may want to hold off adding your beans until about 15 minutes before you’re ready to eat or they might turn to mush in there.)
Add in canned tomatoes (including all the juice), the drained beans, and the chicken broth. Add oregano and basil and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for at least 10 minutes, and up to 20.
While soup is simmering chop spinach. Add in spinach and parsley and stir until wilted. Also, additional salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Melanie's Spinach Salad

This easy and simple recipe is one of my favorite ways to eat spinach.

Get one to two ripe juicy peaches and a pile of spinach

Slice the peach.  I leave the skins on because I like them

Mix around with the spinach and enjoy.  The juice from the peach is your salad dressing.

Sometimes I throw in a few chopped up red onions for a little more flavor.

Clarification on the recipe.  I use the purple onions.  Don't know if they are the same as the red but the onions that are more purple in color

Krista's Green Smoothie

This is one of my favorites that I have multiple times a week for breakfast!!

Green Smoothie

1 Cup greek yogurt ( Plain or Vanilla)

1/2 Cup Almond Milk

1 Banana

4 Cups spinach

1 Tbsp natural peanut butter

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy!!!

Jen's Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad w/Ginger Peanut Dressing

I found this on pinterest as well.  I'm always a sucker for quinoa recipes so when I came across this, I knew i'd love it!

Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad with Ginger Peanut Dressing 

Ingredients

• ¾ cup uncooked quinoa
• 1-2 cups shredded red cabbage, depending on how much crunch you like
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• ½ red onion, diced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup diced green onions
• ½ cup cashew halves or peanuts (honey-roasted is good)
• Optional: 1 cup edamame or chickpeas
• Fresh lime, for a bit of tang
• For the dressing:
• ¼ cup all natural peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
• 3 tablespoon soy sauce, gluten-free if desired
• 1 tablespoon honey (use agave if vegan)
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Water to thin, if necessary

Instructions

1. To cook quinoa: Rinse quinoa with cold water in mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add in quinoa and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa with fork; place in large bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. You should have a little over 2 cups of quinoa.
2. To make dressing: Add peanut butter and honey or agave to a medium microwave safe bowl; heat in microwave for 20 seconds. Add in ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and both sesame and olive oil and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner dressing, simply stir in a teaspoon or two of water or olive oil.
3. Add as much or as little dressing as you’d like to the quinoa. I always start out with a little bit of dressing and usually add more to suit my taste preferences. Alternatively you can save the dressing for later and add when you are ready to eat; however the flavors of the dressing usually soak into the salad so I love adding it to the quinoa first.
4. Next fold in red pepper, onion, cabbage, carrots, and cilantro into the quinoa. Garnish with cashews and green onions. Serve chilled or at room temperature with lime wedges if desired.

Linda's Slow Cooker Marinara Chicken & Vegetables

Hello Ladies,

   Here is my recipe (found it on Pinterest!) and I have to admit that I have not made it yet, but plan on making it Tuesday so I don't have to cook dinner after I get home from my first day on my new job!  Yea I got a job!!  Plus since I am new to Fun and Fit in Five I don't have to many healthy recipes that I have tried. 

Slow Cooker Marinara Chicken and Vegetables

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

4 tomatoes chopped, or one 14.5 ounce can low-sodium tomatoes, drained

4 medium ribs celery, diced (1 cup)

2 small zucchini, diced (2 cups)

1 bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced

one 18-ounce jar low-sodium marinara sauce

1 tsp. dried basil

1 tsp. dried thyme

Place the chicken in the slow cooker; add the garlic, tomatoes, celery, zucchini, and pepper.

Pour the marinara sauce over all, and sprinkle the basil and thyme on top.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours.  Before serving, shred the chicken with a fork.

Serve with a side salad or over whole wheat pasta or brown rice.

Denise's Wildly Blueberry Rodeo Chicken & Whipped Cauliflower

Okay gals,

Here's one I tried tonight. My family loved it.

Wildly Blueberry Rodeo Chicken and Whipped Cauliflower

2 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken (breast or thighs)

1 1/2 Tbsp. Quick Cooking Tapioca

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp mustard powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp oregano

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

3 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard

1 large onion,chopped

8 oz. All-fruit jam (I use Wildtree's Wildly Blueberry Jam)

Combine all ingredients--its easiest to mix everything, but the chicken and onion, first, and then combine or spread on top of the chicken. (All ingredients can be frozen in a freezer bag. When ready to prepare, defrost. Then follow remaining directions). Place in crock pot. Cook covered on low 6-7 hours or on high 3-3 1/2 hours. OR, if in a hurry, place in 9x13 pyrex pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 min-1 hour.

NOTE: If you are familiar with Wildtree, 1 1/2 Tbsp. of their Rodeo Rub can be substituted for the spices/seasonings.

Yummy with Whipped Cauliflower (a great way to cut carbs):

INGREDIENTS: 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets 1/2 tablespoon grapeseed oil 1 small vidala onion (I just used a little bit of yellow onion tonight--vidala would be better) 1 clove garlic, smashed 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1-2 tablespoons fat-free cream (or milk) 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper a little parsley, if desired

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
2.	Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. (If you are lazy like me, just add the garlic to the food processor when blending)
3.	Transfer half the cauliflower to a food processor; cover and blend on high. Add remaining cauliflower florets, one at a time, until vegetables are creamy. Blend in garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream/milk, salt, and black pepper.

I also added a tossed salad to the menu. The only thing that was missing was the ice cream for dessert. (Wahhh!)

Enjoy!

Amber's Cheesy Chicken & Rice Bake

I too found this recipe on pinterest.  I have tried this before and the family really did like it.  I made two small ones...one for them and one for me.  I made theirs with regular rice and mine with quinoa because I had no brown rice.  I thought this was pretty good though.  It was quick and quite easy.  I left the picture on because I am a visual person and like to see what it could look like.  :)

Happy Eating!

Recipe Description

A quick, easy and healthy casserole to throw together when you’re pressed for time!

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for cilantro and mix thoroughly to combine. Make sure the yogurt and cheese are stirred in throughout the entire bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and top with extra cheese if you would like. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
To make this process easier, I always have cooked chicken on hand, and use Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice. If you have those two things, this can be throw together in a matter of minutes! It can also easily be made ahead of time and reheated.

Ingredients

• 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 4 cups Cooked Brown Rice
• ¾ cups Frozen Corn
• 15 ounces, fluid Can Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
• 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (or Sour Cream)
• 4 ounces, fluid Can Green Chilis
• ½ cups Salsa
• 1 cup Low-fat Cheddar Cheese, Plus More For Topping
• 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro For Garnish

Stef's Mexican Haystacks

Super easy and super tasty!!

Mexican Haystacks

RICE
2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 bunch fresh cilantro

MEAT
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
4 cups salsa (I used Kirkland organic salsa from Costco)

TOPPINGS
1-2 avocados, chopped
1-2 red peppers, chopped
1-2 ripe mangoes, chopped
fresh cilantro for garnish

Start your brown rice in a pot on the stove, or in a rice maker. Next, add ground turkey and chopped onion to a large saute pan. Add garlic powder and salt and pepper. When the turkey is browned, add 4 cups of salsa. Bring the salsa to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, chop the cilantro, pepper, avocado, and mango. When the rice is done, simply stir in almost all of the fresh cilantro, leaving just enough to garnish each

*Also, the recipe above made enough to feed four of us and we had leftovers the next day. If you are cooking for a smaller family, just chop one avocado, pepper, and mango. You can also make less rice and only 1 lb. of turkey. If you do this, reduce the salsa used to only 2-3 cups.

Hayley's Recipe

this isn't really much of a "recipe" but it is a healthy meal.  my son made it yesterday and it was really good, fast, and easy.  you just open up a can of corn, diced tomatoes, and ranch style or plain kidney beans.  put them in a pot and bring it to a boil.  then enjoy.  if i wasn't doing this challenge i would eat it with a big piece of cornbread... which mine is more like corn cake.

Aanika's Chicken Sesame Pasta Salad

I asked my husband to share some of his secret marinades because we love to grill during the summer and he is the master of marinades and grilling but he says his recipes are "not for ladies" whatever that means. So I will have to just give you one of my favorite "Salads as a meal" recipes because I like lighter meals when it is hot. I substitute more spinach for the pasta though and I add more vegetables. This makes a lot so either share it or plan to eat it every day for a few :)

 

Chicken Sesame Pasta Salad

 

2-3 Chicken breasts- marinated in lemon juice and lemon pepper and grilled until done, then sliced on a diagonal making strips.

 

1 12 ounce pkg. wide egg noodles-cooked

1 bunch green onions-sliced

1 red pepper- chopped small

1 green pepper-chopped small

1 yellow pepper-chopped small

1/2 cup diced almonds

1 bag baby spinach-broken into bite size pieces

 

Dressing:

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup canola oil

1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper

1 tsp. parsley

1/3 cup soy sauce

3 Tbs. sugar

 

Mix dressing well in blender.(I add the sesame seeds after it is blended) mix all ingredients except the spinach and almonds, pour dressing over this, mix together and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Add spinach and almonds just before serving.

Suzanne's Apple-Oat Bran Muffins

This recipe only makes 6 muffins but I am sure could be doubled.  There are only 2 of us so it is a good fit.

 

Apple-Oat Bran Muffins

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole spelt flour (the recipe calls for whole wheat but I don't eat wheat)

1/2 cup oat bran

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

dash of salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 egg white

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon canola oil (I use olive)

2/3 cup grated apple

 

In small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients.  In another bowl, whisk the egg white, buttermilk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fold in apple.

Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill 3/4 full with batter.  Bake at 375 degrees for 16 - 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.  Serve warm.  I also freeze them and eat them out of the freezer. Yield 6 servings.

Erica's Breakfast Casserole

My family loves to have breakfast for dinner. Here's a recipe that we enjoy:

Spray a 9x13 pan with Coconut Oil (or Pam) and fill 2/3 full with diced sweet potatoes & new potatoes. Pour Olive Oil over them and stir {I just eyeball the amount}. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes, depending on the size of potatoes. Remove from oven & let cool.

Once cooled, top with your choice of ingredients. We like ham, mushrooms, veggies {peppers, onions, etc.} and cheese. In a separate bowl, combine 6 eggs and 3/4 cup milk. Add a few cranks of salt and pepper & beat until smooth. Pour evenly over toppings. Cover with foil & bake @ 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 - 20 minutes more, until eggs are set and no longer runny.

You can also add this to a WW tortilla and top with Salsa for a breakfast burrito.
