It’s All About Habits

/0 Comments/in /by

Fitness comes down to habits.

Working out and eating clean are habits.

The more you workout and the cleaner you eat the more likely you are to continue to do so.

Now, this won’t happen overnight and you will fall off the wagon from time to time. That is completely normal, just pick yourself back up and start again where you left off.

We recommend only changing one or two habits at a time, rather than making a complete overhaul to your lifestyle. Once you conquer one habit, add another to start working on. Overtime these will all add up and with each one you will make more and more progress.

Fitness is all about habits.

Recipe of the Week – Spinach Tortellini Soup

/0 Comments/in /by

There is nothing as comforting as a warm bowl on soup on a cold fall day. Warm up with a blanket and this recipe for Spinach Tortellini Soup while catching up on your latest Netflix series.

What You Need:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
  • 2 large carrots, diced small
  • 2 large celery stalks, diced small
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 8 cups good low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 9 ounces tortellini
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Grated parmesan or pecorino, for serving

How To Make It:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery and salt and stir to coat with oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften. If you happen to get distracted and the veggies brown a little bit, it’ll add some nice depth of flavor.
  2. Stir in stock, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer until veggies are tender. Remove lid and add spinach and tortellini. Cook according to tortellini package instructions (usually just simmering for a couple of minutes). Off the heat, stir in parsley and black pepper to taste.
  3. Ladle into bowls and serve with cheese to pass at the table.

Recipe of the Week – Slow Cooker Greek Chicken

/0 Comments/in /by

A healthy meal is as easy as throwing this all in the slow cooker and get on with your day.

What You Need:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (from about 3 large cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, optional for serving
  • Chopped fresh herbs: any mix of basil, parsley, or thyme, optional for serving (I used fresh thyme)

How To Make It:

  1. Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in the hot pan, seasoned side down. Let brown on the first side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, then flip and brown on the other side for 1 additional minute. If your skillet isn’t large enough to fit all of the chicken pieces, work in batches so that the chicken does not overlap. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
  2. Arrange the peppers, olives, and onions around the chicken (do not place on top).
  3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, oregano, and thyme. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on high or 3 to 4 hours on low, until the chicken is cooked through and the center reaches 165 degrees F. Serve warm, sprinkled with feta and fresh herbs.
