Here is another easy at home workout that uses basic moves. I did use 4 pound dumbbells with each exercise and of course don’t forget to warm up and stretch when you are all finished!

Since having two babies to take care of, I’m loving meals that are good tasting, fresh ingredients, easy to cook and clean up. Once I saw this chicken parm skillet meal I knew I had to make it. I have to admit at first I was super intimated to cook on my cast iron skillet, but we are becoming better friends. The key is to cook low and slow on it. You could use any skillet for this meal, you don’t need to have a cast iron skillet. This recipe made a ton, so we had leftovers for a few days and it was just as good!
Ingredients:
1 28 ounce can of tomatoes, either peeled or diced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
6 garlic cloves, mashed
1/4 teaspoon of oregano
1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of water
1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
12 ounce of pasta, your choice
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 chicken breast, cooked and cut into small pieces
Directions:

This dish is SPICY! Super, super spicy! Chris LOVED it. But pregnancy and heartburn aren’t friends and anything spicy seems to cause heartburn these days for me, so while this dish was flavorful and good, don’t get me wrong! I wouldn’t make it while pregnant if you are having trouble with heartburn!
With that being said, don’t let it steer you away from making it, because it is good, really good. I enjoyed it. I just didn’t enjoy about 15 minutes after eating it.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of Franks hot sauce
1 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of ketchup
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
2 chicken breast
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of scallions
1 cup of cooked rice
Directions:
Enjoy!

This recipe has been floating around in the food blog world for quite some time and I keep seeing it appear on different blogs, so I decided I would try to make this since everyone seems to rave about it! It was a great dish, full of creamy yummy sauce on top of your chicken. It’s a dish you’d expect to be crazy in calories, but it actually isn’t, if you make it the right way!
Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/8 cup of flour, plus 1 tablespoon divided
1/2 teaspoons of EVOO
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup dry white wine
7 ounces of chicken broth
1/3 cup reduced sour cream
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of chopped chives
Directions:
Enjoy!

I knew it wouldn’t take me long for me to tell Chris what I was making for dinner and for him to get excited, just because I said the word “BBQ.” He’s a man and anything BBQ he’s down for. I probably could make BBQ pancakes and he’d be ok with that(well, I guess I shouldn’t go THAT far!) But I should try it sometime just to see his reaction.
This was a great dish. Kiley loved it also. It’s all made in one skillet which is even nicer. I could see this on a menu at a BBQ restaurant. It’s full of flavor and is even just as good the next day as leftovers.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of EVOO
1 onion, diced
3 cups of water
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
12 ounce pasta(your choice)
1/2 cup BBQ sauce, you could add more depending on if you want more flavor
1/2 cup greek plain yogurt
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 boneless chicken breast cut into chunks
Directions:
Enjoy!

The husband has a new-found love for a desert. Every where we go he orders it. This obsession just started a few months ago. We aren’t where or how it started, maybe it’s a pregnancy craving for him! But, he’s been ordering Tiramisu whenever he can! He’s taking a very hard course for his work and had to study all weekend long instead of playing with Kiley, which I know he missed. I decided to make this recipe for him because I knew he’d like it and really enjoy it after studying so hard for so long! This recipe is great, because he couldn’t eat a whole tiramisu desert by him self.
Funny story, is the recipe suggest to put into a wine glass, which I did, I made 3 of these, one of those being in favorite wine glass ever. Well, I opened the refrigerator door and bam, it fell on the floor, so we were left with only 2 tiramisu left, so I decided to name this recipe tiramisu for two!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup of sugar
8 ounces of mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1 1/2 cups of Italian roast coffee or a strong dark flavor
1/4 cup dark rum
Lady Fingers, 1 package
2 ounces of dark chocolate
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Directions:
Enjoy!

Chicken Chimichangas are one of my favorite’s that I order from our local Mexican restaurant. They are so flavorful and I love the mixture of cheese and chicken. I came across a recipe, which I heavily adapted to fit my food allergy, and also the recipe I found was more a crock pot meal, I made it into non crock pot meal. It was a much lighter version of what you would get in a traditional mexican restaurant. It was pretty good!
Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breast
4 ounces green chilies
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
4 tortilla shells
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
8 ounces salsa verde
1 cup sour cream
Directions:
Enjoy!

This dish is flavorful! I actually halved the ingredients to make less and to also turn down the heat a bit, which I’m glad I did cause it was FULL of flavor, the husband was in love after his first bite! If you like a good jambalaya, this is a much healthier version with only 336 calories per serving. By using turkey you save lots of calories then using other proteins, though you could definitely change this as to what you wanted!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 half of a yellow onion, diced
3 teaspoons of garlic, if you are using already prepared garlic, if not 3 cloves mashed will work
1 half of a green bell pepper, chopped
1 half of a red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1/2 teaspoon of ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon of ground red pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup uncooked long-grain brown rice
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 tomatoes, diced I use a Roma
1 pound of ground turkey, cooked
6 oz turkey andouille sausage, sliced
Directions:
