Do you have any food mixtures that are quick, easy, and actually taste awesome?
I need more, give them to me!
I don't know about you, but I'm getting a lot more work lately and prepping food is starting to get harder.
Yesterday I took about 2lbs of chicken breast, popped it in the slow cooker, then took two jars of natural salsa verde and poured it in. Let it sit for a few hours on high, pulled the chicken, put it back in and then promptly destroyed it all an hour or so later.
Later I took a second attempt at "protein pudding" and finally succeeded. Basically just mixed together a bunch of protein powder, a packet of sugar-free Cheesecake jell-o, and cold almond milk. Stuck it in a blender and let it chill out in the fridge for a few hours. Recovery pudding is the best pudding.
Sorry, but the caveman in me is going to have to take a backseat - I am in love with cheesecake.
john, im with ya. making food has been terribly difficult this week for some reason. so im going to take my first attempt at paleo, extra meaty, chili this weekend. figure i can get lots of work done while that shit simmers in my never-used crock-pot.
ReplyDeleteas for cheesecake, i hate that shit.
pudding, though, i love. especially, snack packs.
kelsey, im going to try paleo granola too, just i bought mine with the rest of my paleo kit for my travel in a month because im "busy", i.e. too GD lazy to make it myself.
also, i will unfortunately be missing the stink and drink tonite due to the fact that i have to be at the lab by 6am tomorrow AM, which is not conducive with boozin'. sorry ladies and gents. hope y'all enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHaters gonna hate I guess...
ReplyDeleteCheescake 4 life.
Anyhow, I'll be in this evening but I don't know if I'm going to be sweating with you all. Think I strained something in my shoulder. Going to work it out as best as I can today though. Heres to hoping, I like this type of wod!
I f'ing love cheesecake. Good call, john. I'll be trying this one out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tyler - add one to my team... and love the Facebook call out. Looking at you, J Vu.
ReplyDeleteI think it all sounds really yummy! What kind of protein powder did you add to the cheesecake?
ReplyDeleteI need someone to teach me how to use a slow cooker. Is that the same thing as a crock pot? I have had one for 5 years and never used it. :(
John--this sounds easy and delicious. Trying this one out next week.
ReplyDeleteCamey--I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. For someone like me who is severely lacking in the cooking skills dept, it's awesome. You basically just throw a bunch of stuff into the pot w/ seasonings and some liquid, and press "on"--it's like magic.
Bad - Bad day at the office today. I cannot wait to get out of here. May be leaving shortly and finding a good bloody mary. Bad, Bad day. If anyone has connections in the finance/banking/IT/risk/awesomeness industry, hit me up please at rlbashkin@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteOn another note:
CHEESECAKE = GOOD! PUDDING = GOOD! Love both and will definitely be trying this concoction out.
If I am not already boozed up - I will be at the box for a good @$$ kicking. Love ya!
LMAO @ "Haters gonna hate I guess...Cheescake 4 life." Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken does sound yummy! I love some cheesecake, but not pudding. So when you figure out how to enfuse an actual cheesecake with protein powder holla at me:)
Hey...have you guys heard of the Warrior Dash? Anyone want to do it? Registration is only $45 today... http://www.warriordash.com/
Looks like some Real World The Challenge type stuff:)
Thanks Anthony! Maybe I will try something this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteYatta, YES YES YES! I did it last year and it was a lot of fun. I didn't realize we could sign up already. I also want to the Spartan Race. Not sure when that is yet though.
Okay Camey! Are you definitely going to sign up today to get the $45 rate? I will sign up but I really do not want to do this by myself. I have never done a marathon or anything like this. This looks like so much more fun and adventure than your usual 5k:)
ReplyDeleteOh and the Spartan is still "TBD" for Chicago:)
ReplyDeleteHey, before you guys go and sign up for that...
ReplyDeletethere is one in Twin Lakes, WI and its 40$s. It's closer too, I think.
Let me know what everyone decides, but I'm running it up north. Joliet sucks.
Ok, so maybe not closer... but I'm def doing that one instead. Sorry if I miss you guys out there in the mud!
ReplyDelete@John - Joliet sucks?! Well, yes Joliet sucks but Warrior Dash out there last year was awesome! Boo you
ReplyDeletehaha. joliet...more like toilet...
ReplyDeleteRae, you doing it this year? Is your day getting any better?
ReplyDeleteYatta, I am going to sign up. Joliet?
Ok I lied, I may do Joliet. Depends on a few things though.
ReplyDeleteJust signed up... 3:00 pm Saturday the 18th!
ReplyDeleteWarrior Dash Rules! John - signed up for Joliet? or WI? If we get enough people, we can rent a van or something.
