Chili
Yeah, another chili recipe. This one is super easy and its the best tasting I’ve ever made.
- 2 pounds ground sirloin (or round, but definitely not chuck or less)
- 1 can “chili fixins” flavor rotel
- 1 can mexican flavor rotel
- 1 can “texas” flavor Ranch Style brand beans
- 2 8oz cans tomato sauce
- 2 Tbs minced garlic
- 1/2 large onion, minced
- 1 cup water
Brown the meat, mix the rest together. Simmer at least 20 minutes and allow to reduce to desired consistency. If split into 5 servings, you get this nutritional breakdown: 417 calories, 41g protein, 18g fat, 24g carbs.
Chocolate Coconut Nutty Shake
- 3/4 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 1 scoop Metabolic Drive chocolate protein powder (DO NOT USE A WHEY-ONLY PROTEIN)
- 1/2 oz almonds
- 1/2 oz walnuts
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- water & ice for texture
Blend it all into mush. MMM… This is the best shake I’ve ever come up with. 473 calories, 45g protein, 25g fat, 22g carbs.
Greek Burger
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced green olives
- 3 cloves garlic, or 2 Tbs pre-minced garlic
Mix it all together and grill it. Delicious. Of course you don’t get to eat this on a bun – unless its a post-workout meal. For a side dish, I enjoy yellow onion, yellow bell pepper, and sliced tomatoes all sliced and sauted with greek seasoning. I’ll post the nutiriton numbers when I remember to go find them.
Spinach
- small pot with an inch of water
- huge handful of spinach
I put this entry in because I was surprised at home much I like plain, cooked, unseasoned spinach. And I had no idea cooking it was so easy. If you can boil water you can cook spinach. Step 1 – boil the water. Step 2 – fill up the pot with dry spinach leaves. Step 3 – wait for the spinach to collapse and become limp. Step 4 – eat. Mmm.. Knock yourself out – spinach is on John Berardi’s list of superfoods.
