PGP: Family meeting, part 2 - Mom

Eddie did incredibly well at his MRI yesterday. I was so afraid that we would have to reschedule because our first attempt was without sedation and Eddie hates needles. I attribute how well he did to having daddy in the room with him (only one of us could go in). Either way, I'm super proud.

Today the kids & I took a risk and hit the mall for lunch. I think we did OK, but there were just way too many temptations and we won't be doing that again.

We came home and got right into the kitchen making pumpkin muffins. Yummy-yummy!!

Here is the 2nd part of our family meeting, with me. Now that the kids are all saddled up, we've just been having tons of fun cooking together. They're such little troopers!!

To see the awesome program we're following to take our family's eating habits to next level, go here:

Raw Oat Ball Snacks

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup chopped raisins (alternative: other dried, unsulphured fruits)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 tbsp. coconut oil
• 2-3 tbsp. honey (alternative: maple syrup)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup flax meal (alternative: oat or coconut flour)
• 1/4 cup water, just to add a little moisture

Mash all ingredients together and form into balls. Refrigerate for an hour before serving. 

ENJOY!! :)

Gourmet crackers and cheese

I've posted this a few times on my pages, but because it's so amazingly delicious, I wanted to be sure to add it here as well.

If you have a Trader Joe's, you MUST try this!

If you don't have a Trader Joe's, you can make your own ingredients as follows:

Your favorite healthy crackers ~ whole grain or seed crackers such as Flackers.

Your favorite cheese ~ mozarella or gouda - yum!

Make your own tomato topping ~ slice some sweet red and/or yellow tomatoes and roast them for about 20 minutes at 450*. Mix roasted tomatoes with olive oil and your favorite italian herbs and garlic.

ENJOY!! :)

Thai Spiced Chicken

***If you can't see the Full Recipe, it is posted in Go Mommy Go Notes

Super healthy, easy and quick chicken recipe - high in protein, low in fat - great muscle building recipe the whole family will love.

•6 chicken breasts cut in half
•12oz natural plain Greek yogurt
•2-3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
•4 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
•7.5 cm/3 inch piece cucumber
•Lime wedges
Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°f. Put the chicken in a shallow dish in one layer. Blend a third of the yogurt, the curry paste and three tablespoons of the cilantro. Season with salt (to taste) and pour over the chicken, turning the pieces until they are evenly coated. Leave for at least 10 minutes, or in the fridge overnight.

2. Lift the chicken on to a rack in a roasting tin and roast for 35-40 minutes, until golden. (To cook the chicken on the grill, reduce the cooking time to 25-30 minutes.)

3. Blend together the remaining yogurt and cilantro. Finely chop the cucumber and stir into the yogurt mixture. Serve with the chicken and garnish with wedges of lime.

I serve this dish with simple salad greens.
