My Clean Eating Sunday Prep Day

I use my Sundays to get myself ready for the upcoming week so I don't have any excuses to stray off path.

What have I done?

1. Went to the grocery store and purchased foods for the upcoming week: eggs, turkey burgers, salad making stuff, Greek yogurt, fruit, chicken breasts, etc.

2. I came home and started processing my purchases.

- Boiled the dozen eggs
- Grilled the 4 turkey burgers on the George Foreman grill; they are cooling on the counter so they can be packaged up.
- Butterfly cut the chicken to make 2 pieces out of 1 breast ( chicken breasts these days are huge and the portion is too much ) and they will go on the George Foreman next.
- Hulled and sliced 1 lb of strawberries ( on sale! ) for addition to the Greek yogurt for this week's breakfasts
-Separated my bananas ( Thanks, Violent Indifference for the tip! ) to slow ripening so the bananas will last the upcoming week
-Cleaned and washed the peppers, cucumber, etc for this week's salads. I don't cut them until I use them - so I bring a whole pepper, 1/2 cucumber, etc to work with me for chopping just before I eat.
-Bought a small cantaloupe ( expensive in winter but I've been craving! ) and cut it into chunks - stored in 3 separate containers in the fridge. Just right for slipping one into my lunch bag.

Plantain Pizza Crust ( GF)

This recipe makes a fast and easy homemade pizza crust that you can make from start to finish in 25 minutes. The secret is a little known savory" fruit" called a plantain. Plantains are in the banana family, but when they are green, they are much starchier and not at all sweet. They are rich in vitamins A and C and low in calories ( 90 calories /cup) and low in fat. In their starchy state ( when they are green),plantains are perfect for making gluten free crusts, crackers, flatbreads, etc. Plantains that are still green enough to make pizza crust A few months ago, my friend Laura introduced me to a delicious gluten free flatbread that she had made using plantains. Up until that point, I really didn't know what to do with a plantain. I barely even knew what they were. Today, I made my first gluten free pizza crust using a single green plantain that cost me 50 cents. The pizza crust was so easy to make, it bordered on ridiculous. I just peeled and cut one plantain into...

Rich and flavorful, this chunky low calorie Middle Eastern eggplant ratatouille makes a delicious side for a family dinner or an inviting appetizer for your next get together.. I love recipes from Middle Eastern countries like like Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Morocco,and Israel which are famous for their tasty eggplant dishes. This family recipe is a middle Eastern classic that is like a stew- tender, satisfying and easy to make. The secret to the recipe is roasting , not frying, the eggplant and veggies. Roasting brings out the vegetable's natural sweetness, saves calories, and is easier on the digestion than frying.

It is so versatile that we enjoy in a variety of ways: Over Baptismal rice or cauliflower rice,  Paired as a side dish with a bean dish,  As a topping for an omelette ( really good)  Or a cold or hot appetizer with crudites or gluten fre...
