Recipes for Healthy, Low Calorie Mini Meals

This blog was born as the result of looking for recipes for mini meals to use while transitioning off of a well-known diet and not finding any! I normally eat 6 meals a day, albeit mini meals and that’s where this blog comes in. My goal is to provide simple, healthy and low-calorie recipes in small amounts that allow you to eat more frequently during the day and who doesn’t love to eat! Come join me at Simply Mini Meals!

The 30 Clean 20-Day Modified Holiday Challenge – Day 1

Posted on December 4, 2017 Written by Julie Leave a Comment

Short post today and no pictures! Started the challenge today and had leftover from yesterdays Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake for a late breakfast and Model Meals Beef Stroganoff + Butternut Squash Rice for an early dinner.

The Non-Food Challenge of the Day is to set my intention, so here it is. My intention is to continue to make “better” choices when it comes to my eating habits. Since the September challenge, I’ve felt so much better about my body image and I’m able to fit into all my clothes from 3-4 years ago when I lost 50 pounds and before I put about 25 pounds of it back on! The best part is that I’ve been making dinner for the family at least 3 nights a week and I’m kinda proud as to how my meals have been turning out! Plus it doesn’t hurt that it tastes pretty darn good as well.

The quick run-down is that I’m pretty much down to no gluten or grains of any kind, no dairy, no legumes, no added sugar (real or artificial) and no preservatives. Everything is fresh and organic…nothing processed allowed! I’m looking forward to *not* putting on the weight this holiday season!

I’m getting ready to start The 30 Clean 20-Day Modified Holiday Challenge tomorrow and ever since I did the challenge in September, I’ve *tried* to eat healthier and less-processed (what happened on Thanksgiving day, stays with only those there!).

Anyway, my weight is down to something I’m happier with while I prepare for my Viking Iconic Mediterranean Cruise in February. This morning, I made paleOMG’s Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake and I really liked how it turned out and how tasty it was!! [Continue reading]
