Week 7: MyPlate Submission

Here, here!

Who said leftovers are just useless? Clearly Marissa has got good ideas worth sharing. She sent in her MyPlate submission from something she made for a party.

"I made chicken tinga this weekend for a party and had leftovers today! It is easy, just boil chicken breasts, shred and cook with onion, tomatos and chipotle peppers. I had it on a tostada with a small drizzle of sour cream and a sprinkle of cotija cheese. I had some red pepper to sneak more veggies in!"

Looks too good to be true, I got to get that recipe out from my screen and into my kitchen pronto. Keep those submissions coming in!

Week 7: MyPlate Submission Time!

Checking in, hoping everyone is getting super creative in the kitchen. I've got to share George's creation he had in the kitchen.

Now in our talks, George has talked to me in saying how his creation wasn't "super excited", but I told him that it was perfect. Remember people - you don't have to be Chef Ramsay, just be efficient.

Now that's what I call efficient and healthy

George has put me on the spot. Now I'm pressure to get my "MyPlate" out in the open. Stay tuned in for that; I want to get some mouths salivating!

Winter Fitness Group Challenge - Week 7: MyPlate

We're making the turn to the second half of the program and I think it is about time that we revisited nutrition. However, this time around I want to see something from all of you.

MyPlate is by design a week where you have to submit a creation you made in the kitchen.Just one meal, one time. Create and share all the ingredients and steps you went through to put in your meal. This is not something that I want you to feel pressured by, but instead empowered. You've got the tools of change in your hand - don't forget that.

Get pumped in the kitchen

For this week, I would appreciate everyone to send in via email their creations (including ingredients, sizes, cooking steps etc) and a picture of their end result so I can go ahead and post it up on the blog for everyone to see and try out. I'll even get into the mix once this week as well.

Remember - this is not a week off, get back in the gym more motivated from week 6 and hit it hard!
