Zesty Baked Chicken


 Want muscles like that? Try this for recipe for a healthy protein packed dinner. Using a whole chicken is one of the most efficient ways to make a healthy and delicious meal. It is packed with lean protein and even the dark meat is full of nutrients like iron, zinc and B vitamins. A six ounce portion of white meat has 48 grams of protein and only 240 calories (dark meat has a little more calories but more essential nutrients). Healthy adults should consume about half of their body weight in protein a day and adults trying to build a lot of muscle should consume about one to one and a half times their body weight in protein. Try this recipe for a really painless meal that churns out a lot of flavor and necessary vitamins for the whole family.(She will probably be mad for posting this picture by the way!)

Savings: 10-15$
Ingredients: 1 whole chicken (try all natural for more flavor)
                      1 tbsp Sea Salt
                      2 tsp Pepper

MAD TV Meat Beaters


Such a great recipe I had to share!

Braciole: Stuffed Sirloin Steak

 Just so you know, I could get in big trouble for this recipe. This is insider information and I am willing to put my life on the line to leak it to you. At Publix, you'll find an item in the meat department called "stuffed Flank steak". Flank steak is not a great cut of meat but the way it is prepared, it's actually pretty good. But this recipe right here, is even better but does require a little work and a meat tenderizer. Instead of Flank, I decided to go with Top Sirloin Fillets. Top Sirloin is more tender and has better flavor, but it requires a little more work to stuff it and roll it. The extra work pays off in the end, trust me.

Savings: 5-10$
Ingredients: 1.5-2 lbs Top Sirloin Steak or Fillets
Fresh Spinach (1 bag)
Provolone Cheese (8 oz)
1 tbs salt                             
2 tsp pepper
1 clove garlic minced
1 cup EVO
1 tsp paprika
1 meat tenderizer
