Hunter’s Kitchen – Panzanella

So Hunter has taken after Mommy in the kitchen lately and really enjoys making up dishes as he goes along. This super yummy Panzanella salad was a result of his creativity. He had full control of the ingredients and creation of this yummy salad and I think it turned out scrumptious.

6” Crusty Sub Bread from Daddy’s Bakery

x1 Red Sweet Pepper Chopped

x1 Green Onion Chopped

x2 TBS Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add Salt and Pepper to taste and enjoy! Be sure to wash your hands before handling food and also practice safe knife skills to avoid an accident. If you make this recipe with your kiddos be sure to tag us in your masterpiece. Hunter loves to seeing his fans recreate his recipes.

Recipe Time – Summer Chickpea Salad

There is nothing I love more than spending time in the kitchen. It’s MY time! And creating new family friendly and healthy recipes is my jam. I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen and completely making things up as I go along. But when the dish turns out far better than I ever expected that really makes my day. Take this easy summer salad for example. It is to die for! I did a literal happy dance after trying it. I am so excited to whip this bad boy up for our summer pool parties and Sunday Fundays.

SALAD:

16oz Can of Reduced Sodium Chickpeas Rinsed and Drained

10oz Grape Tomatoes Quartered

x1 1/2 Cucumbers Peeled and Chopped

x4 Yellow Sweet Peppers Chopped

x4 Orange Sweet Peppers Chopped

x4 Green Onions Chopped

6oz Package of Crumbled Feta Cheese

Fresh Basil just before serving

Combine all the above ingredients in a very large mixing bowl and set aside to make the dressing.

DRESSING:

Juice of x1 Lemon

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Pepper

x1 tspMinced Garlic

x1 TBS Spicy Brown Mustard

x1 TBS Yellow Mustard

5oz Plain Hummus

x4 TBS Olive Oil

Add all the ingredients to your @ninjakitchen blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well. Top with fresh Basil just before serving. Store in an air tight container in your fridge for up to a week!

For an extra meatier version add some shredded chicken! For some extra crunch add radishes. And for my vegans, simply omit the Feta Cheese.

Flourless Banana Peanut Butter Protein Squares

Late night cravings getting the best of you? Perhaps that sweet tooth is getting out of control? These bites are for you!!!

The creative juices have been flowing in the kitchen lately and I am here for it!!! I’m embracing the fun that comes with experimenting and am stepping outside my comfort zone a little bit by improving my baking skills. But because I’m not known for my baking keeping it simple is a must.

INGREDIENTS:

x4 Ripe Bananas Peeled

x4 Large Eggs

x2 cups PBFit Powder

x1 cup Water

x4 TBS Honey

x1 TBS Vanilla Extract

1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

x4 scoops Vegan Vanilla Shakeology

x6 TBS Carob Chips

Mix all the above ingredients minus the Carob Chips in your blender until smooth and creamy. Using your @getprepd Cheat Sheet system with the 1/6 silicon squares, evenly divide the mixture between all six squares. Top each square with your Carob Chips and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 24 minutes or until slightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to rotate your pan 1/2 through cooking for even baking. The above recipe makes x24 bites total. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container. This recipe can also be used with a 12 muffin or 24 mini muffin pan as well. Serving size is x2 bites, x1 muffin or x2 mini muffins.

This is such a delicious way to get in my superfoods. And it beats those late night cravings in a much healthier way. These are definitely a family favorite. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

My Take on the Viral TikTok Feta Pasta

Here’s my take on the viral TikTok Feta Pasta alongside some roasted asparagus using my new @getprepd Cheat Sheets. Their setup is a meal prep lovers dream y’all! And this pasta is 🤤🤤🤤

Ang’s Take on the TikTok Feta Pasta:

x1 Small Onion

x1 Orange Bell Pepper

x1 Pint Grape Tomatoes

8oz Block Feta Cheese

x4 Cloves Chopped Garlic

x4 TBS Olive Oil

x1 TBS Red Pepper Flake

x1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt

x1 tsp Crushed Black Pepper

x1 TBS Penzeys Spices Italian Herb Mix

x2 TBS Fresh Chopped Basil

Chop all the veggies into same size pieces. Place into your baking dish with the block of feta cheese at the center. Drizzle with olive oil and top with all of the spices. Place in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile prep the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

When the timer is up add the asparagus to the oven and set the timer for an additional 15 minutes while bringing water to a boil for your desired pasta. I chose @eatbanza Cavatappi for the boys as it’s Gluten Free and high in fiber and protein. Then I made some @greengiant Veggie Spirals Spaghetti Squash for myself. Cook both to package directions. When time is up on the oven pull the asparagus out and set aside. Crank the oven temp to 450 and put the tomato feta mixture back in the oven for 10 final minutes or until everything gets a little crispy and browned slightly.

Before draining your pasta keep a cup of the pasta water on the side in case you need to thin out the sauce. Drain your pasta and spaghetti squash and set aside. Once the tomato feta sauce is complete stir everything together until nice and thick and creamy. Add some of the saved pasta water here if you wish to have a sauce that’s a little bit looser. Because the boys actually aren’t fans of tomatoes I actually puréed the mixture before serving on top of the pasta. Serve over the top of the pasta of your choice alongside the asparagus for a super scrumptious and satisfying meal. There is a reason this recipe has gone viral y’all.

Try out my take on the recipe above and tag me in it. Let me know what you think! Also be sure to check out @getprepd products. They’ve literally made this Momma’s job of meal prepping for different meal plans and preferred tastes easier than you could imagine.

Meal Prep Made Easy

Can you relate??? You bust your butt all week, eat right, workout, do all the things. But then you fall waaayyy off track come the weekend. You get a little snacky after a couple glasses of wine. You’re on the go and running all over the place and always hangry. And in only two days time you destroy all that hard work you put in the week before! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Moving my meal prepping to Fridays has been an absolute game changer and life saver! So no matter what the weekends have in store for us I know that when I open that fridge I’ve got options ready to go that will keep me on track and off the vicious hamster wheel of regret and weight gain.

Check out the following video to see just how simple I keep my Friday meal prep. Meal Prep Made Easy

Fast Food

My biggest tip to those of you ready to start your own health and fitness journey…be sure your family and closest friends are aware of your goals.

The other day was super busy. I was out and about all day with a friend and we were having way too much fun to eat. So by the time I got home I was starving! Can anyone relate???

My hubby was a HUGE help and picked up dinner from McDonald’s but only for himself and Hunter, NOT for me, “because you have goals.” So instead of garbage food from McD’s for me he pulled out the ingredients for my current go-to quick and easy meal while I unpacked the car.

The Ingredients

1 Cup Stir Fry Veggies

1/2 Cup Mushrooms

x5 Spears of Asparagus

x1 tsp Coconut Oil

Pinch of Himalayan Salt

Microwave covered for 5 minutes

(Meal prepped air fryer chicken thigh optional)

Mixed Veggies and Chicken in 5 minutes or less.

Now I don’t know about you but that truly is FAST FOOD. And the kind I prefer to eat! Fast and healthy is my jam! Especially on those busy days when life gets a bit chaotic and your schedule goes haywire.

I’ve been having a TON of fun lately getting creative in the kitchen and coming up with new fast and healthy recipes. So be sure to stay tuned for more!!!

3-Day Refresh

The results are in…I just completed the 3-Day Refresh and I am down a whopping 4.5lbs, I’ve detoxed from caffeine and my energy is through the roof! The food is so so good and I felt full the entire time. Truth be told, the hardest part was overcoming the caffeine withdrawal. This was just the thing I needed to push through my plateau.

Grocery Haul for the 3-Day Refresh

The 3-Day Refresh is designed for those wanting a fast, clean break to drop a few pounds in a hurray or break bad habits. The meal plan is a simple and creative way to enjoy eating healthy food without having to prepare it in a way that can damage your health and undermine your weight-loss goals.

It’s perfect as a kick-start for those looking to make a clean break from bad eating habits. As a monthly tune-up for those looking to knock off 2-3lbs each month. Others use it as a quarterly compliment to the 21-Day Ultimate Reset. I have mine setup to auto-ship quarterly!

Welcome to Hunter’s Kitchen!!!

Today Chef Hunter will show us how to make a “Easy Peasy Pizza”.

Hunter’s Easy Peasy Pizza

Hunter’s eyes lit up when I asked him if he wanted to film by himself for this one. To say he was excited is an understatement. His excitement shows throughout the entire video! I could not be more proud of how well he did!!! We broke the video up into a couple clips in order to keep his rambling to a minimum (he likes to ramble like his Momma 🤗). But each clip was filmed in just one take!
