You will find that if you make a meal plan on the weekend, you can really cut time during the week. Also, if you don't have an Instant Pot (no I don't work for them) you should look into it. The pressure cooking setting has pretty much changed my life as proteins are so much easier to quickly cook. I use my Instant Pot all…

Hehehehe. I guess you don't like to chop!!! I personally LOVE to prep. There is nothing like me spending a good hour or two in the kitchen chopping vegetables, deboning chicken and making spices for whatever dish I am making. For me I try to think of it as 'me time' and find it relaxing. Note, that I have really nice sharp…

Homemade jerk chicken, with coconut cauliflower rice and beans. Can't wait!!!!

That would be boring though!!!

I have the Ultra and I love it. I like the digital lights though, and the dial..I am a marketers dream. I would honestly not know what to do without this things. Best. Thing. Ever. Except for coffee (I digress).

I want to do this one too, just haven't had time. I want to make a shrimp and arugula pizza. My recipe will be as follows: 1 potato pizza crust (actual pizza crust but modified to include the potato and using cassava and tapioca flours instead of regular flour as I am 'paleo-ish' ) Olive oil and garlic as the sauce Shrimp,…

I go 8-10 up the day of and then usually drop it within 2 days. Kills my life so I try desperately to avoid the scale if I can.

I'm still on a Korean kick because of the 3lb bag of Korean hot chili powder I bought (no joke), so tonight is spicy BBQ Korean chicken thighs, homemade kimchi and some type of cauliflower something.

crazyravr is right...it isn't a money game changer. I should have made that a little clearer I simply like mine better than store bought and don't have a life on Friday nights (obviously) :)

I make it in mine once a week. I love my homemade stuff more than the store bought as I don't like mine as tart, and it is much cheaper for me to make as I use it in curries, soups, breakfast, etc. I use whole milk (organic from Aldi) at about $3.00 a half gallon, and Fage plain as my starter. It takes me literally only a…

I have kept the stuff (and consumed) probably too long (2-3 weeks) and found no issues. After that, I usually forget I have it and lumps form. That is a definite sign!

Imagine a weeks worth of food: Don't have to prep:* Bagged lettuce * Avocados * Hard boiled eggs * Black beans * fruit (any kind, but if you have melon you have to prep) * Nuts * chicken stock * Wraps or bread * Ham or tuna * Sliced red peppers/green peppers * Sweet potatoes * Spinach * regular eggs * Peanut butter Have to…

whole branzino with sauteed garlic and spinach in olive oil.

Amen to that brother!

Glad you're back! I took a couple months off over the holidays (non-intentional of course) and that sugar and processed stuff added up pretty quick. I am back on the wagon full force again so I'm with you!

Not a chance! After all the work in the "waiting" as things marinade overnight...that is all I can think about!!

Korean spicy chicken thighs. MMMMMM. Can't wait, been thinking about them all day.

Yes. Love it. Keeps me accountable because I can see how active/inactive I am.

Raw walnuts, one hard boiled egg and an avocado. For some reason that keeps me full for the whole day until I can eat a big dinner!!

I know right? I went to get more cauliflower last night (usually try to get it at Aldi as it's only $1.50) and the regular grocer had it on sale for $5.99. Kills me!!! Sorry for the off post, just annoyed me so your comment was fitting!

Yeah. Try to think of a better format as some people (as we can see) don't watch chopped and/or didn't get the post. Not anyone's fault at all. Perhaps a synopsis of what chopped is, the date for the week, and the 4 primary ingredients. This way people can try something throughout the week and post pictures!

No. Chopped, you make recipes using the ingredients you are given. You also have a pantry and refrigerator of stuff at your disposal. If that isn't the way the show works, I retract everything I said.

Creamy broccoli cauliflower soup 1/2 chopped onion 4 cloves chopped garlic 1 small head cauliflower 1 small head broccoli florets homemade chicken bone broth (3/4 way up to top of vegetables) Bay leaf Salt and pepper to taste Saute onions/garlic, throw in broccoli, cauliflower, salt, broth, throw in salt/pepper High…

Sweet potato hash sans egg. Onion, sweet potato, kale, any type of meat. I usually use roasted turkey breast, or corned beef, or roast beef as I always have one of the above in the fridge from leftovers.

This weekend I made homemade refried beans and barbacoa beef. Amazing! The beans were stupid easy. I wish I knew how easy as I would have tried it long ago. 1lb dried pinto beans (rinsed, not soaked) 6 cups water 1 jalapeno, cut in half, seeded 1 red onion, cut in half 6 cloves garlic 2 tblsp vinegar Salt 50 minutes in…
