Jamie Eason Meatloaf Muffins

When I'm looking for something healthy and high in protein that I can eat over and over to help lean out, (fitness model) Jamie Eason's meatloaf muffins fit the bill. I made them for dinner, then had them for the next several lunches and dinners until they were gone. A serving size is 1 or 2 for me, depending on how hungry I am and what I'm having with it. This recipe makes 12.

Ingredients

*Quaker Oats - Quick 1 Minute - Dry, 1 cup
egg white, fresh, 3 large (I used All Whites)
Onions, raw, 1 cup, chopped
Celery, raw, 1 cup, diced (I didn't have any celery, but used a red bell pepper instead)
*Jenni-O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, 2.5 lbs (I mixed that and Laura's lean beef)
*Ground cumin, 0.5 tsp
*Herb - Thyme, Dried Ground (1 tsp), 1 gram
*Mustard Yellow, Emirel's Mellow Yellow (1tsp/5g), 2 tsp
*Black pepper (spice) 2 tsp
*Chipotle pepper, ground, 2 tsp (I omitted this and used salt-free seasoning)
Salt, 1 tsp
Garlic powder, 2 tbsp (remove) (I used 3 fresh cloves)

- I also added a couple dashes of Worcestershire Sauce

I chopped the onion, red pepper and garlic.

And then combined all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Using my hands, I portioned the mixture into 12 large meatballs.

Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes or so. I reheat them in the microwave for about a minute.

For this dinner I steamed up some broccoli and asparagus as a side veggie. I like a little ketchup on the side too. I like how the red pepper looks in the meatballs, I'll probably add green or yellow next time also.

40 Day Fat Loss Challenge

At the beginning of last year (2014), I challenged myself to get in shape for my first ever NPC bikini contest and reached that goal after 5 months of training (July 2014). Since then, I'd been pretty much slacking on the diet and workouts, but by October 2014, I was not liking how I felt physically when I had gotten used to being in great shape. My weight was creeping back up and my muscle was turning into fat. In November, I started back with my trainer and by December had started embracing my bikini meal plan again, but not nearly as strictly and not without lots of "cheats". It was the holidays after all. And I like to eat as much as the next person. Read more »

Time to Get Movin' Again // Cardio & Bike Riding

Whenever I've let exercise slip to the back burner, when I start back up, I like to add in several sessions of hard cardio to get my heart pumping again. This week, I've been doing 50 minutes at a time in the gym: 20 minutes on the treadmill at level 4 (a brisk walk), then 30 minutes on the stair climber at level 60-70. I make sure to bring my ipod or a magazine to keep me company for that amount of time. I also cover the clock on the machine so I'm not aware of how slowly the time passes and just check periodically. It feels so great when you're done and in the following days as you can feel your body responding, getting lighter and stronger. Last week, my 3 year-old son got a bigger bike with training wheels, which prompted me to bust out my bike. I haven't ridden in years! But as soon as I got back on, I remembered how much I like it. Now, I want to ride my bike everyday. Not to mention, it's great exercise and always a good idea to get out of your...

Homemade Low Fat Chocolate Mocha

This time of year, I love to sip on a hot cocoa. It just turned cold here, so it's especially toasty to drink one at night. I make mine with skim milk and Ghiradhelli double chocolate powder. Their serving size is 4 tablespoons, but I think 2 is plenty. To make it into a mocha, I add one scoop of espresso powder. To be decadent, top with a swirl of fat free whip cream. Even fat free whip cream is delicious. Nutrition: * * * * * The winner of a $100 Nordstrom gift card will be announced on Friday. Go HERE to enter!
