Meal Plan for Week 5 of Insanity

 

Here is my meal plan for Week 5 of Insanity. This week is Recovery week before we start the second phase which is MAX everything haha. I am looking forward to Recovery week, however you are doing the same workout for 6 days in a row. I don't know how much I like that, but I know that this program is proven to work as long as you follow it, I will be following it to a T, which means I will be doing the SAME workout for 5 days in a row.

I know my meal plan as me eating 3 shakes, but I am following the 21 day fix plan but for insanity and I don't care for meat more than 1 time a day, and I don't do dairy because it upsets my tummy. Plus I love my shakes so no complaining here. :)

Grain Free / Gluten Free Pizza Crust thats not Cauliflower

Dinner last night was amazing!!! Who says eating gluten free, grain free and clean can't be fun!!! I made pizza tonight for dinner and it was all clean, 21 day fixed approved, and gluten and grain free! 

 

I used my tortilla press to make small individual pizzas. The crust was made from almond meal, water, and Quinoa Flour. Honestly, the pizza was better than any pizza I would have gotten any where else AND I just had gluten free, organic pizza the other weekend! And mine I think was much better and cleaner!!! I was able to portion it all out.

 

You can make it any way, but the way I made it was a white pizza with cheese, chicken, tomato and spinach!! It was delicious. I seriously could have it every night for dinner! :)  

 

Recipe is:

 

1/2 Cup of Almond Meal

1/2 Cup of Quinoa Flour

1/2 Cup of Water

 

Mix all three together, stir and then if you have  tortilla press, split batter into 4 equal parts and make one at a time. If not tortilla press, place one part at a time in frying pan and cook each one that way. When done add topping and place in the oven at 450 for 5 minutes,

 

Tortilla Press

This is one of the wedding gifts we got for our wedding!!! It is amazing!! I love it! It is a tortilla press which allows me to make tortillas, flat bread, pizza crust, etc. Last night I made grain free, gluten free, corn free tortillas. They were amazing, and my Hubby who likes most things but is very critical of the grain free things I make, and he LOVED them.

All the tortilla is made of is 1/2 cup of almond meal, 1/2 cup of quinoa flour, and 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water. It makes 4 shells. The whole process with the tortilla press is no more than 5 minutes. Its that easy. And then on the shells, I put ground turkey, cheese, spinach, and salsa.

The next thing I am going to make is pizza crust with the press. Stay tuned to find out, how it turns out! :)

Mexican Spaghetti Squash Casserole

So who out there loves Mexcian food? I do! I love Mexican food and really anything spicy! However, I don't like not knowing what is in my food. So I try to recreate Mexican food in a cleaner, gluten free, grain free way! Creating new recipes is enjoyable!

The other night, I was craving a spaghetti squash I went out and bought one! They are the best! They are so easy to make and prepare and you seriously can eat them any way!

So with my squash I decided to make it into a Mexican dish / casserole. It was amazing and delicious! So what did I use? I used a spaghetti squash (of course), spinach, green peppers, ground turkey, pico de gallo, and cheese. You can add more things and spices if you want to make it your own or more spicy or less. It takes about an hour to an hour and 10 minutes for it all to cook and be prepared but its worth it. Also this recipe is 21 day fixed approved!
