A short new month ๐Ÿ–ค

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

We made it to February!
Seriously January felt like it was 365 days long… and the below freezing temperatures are not helping much. I am ready for Spring already.

With the new month starting this week I am excited to start some new projects, one being getting my YouTube up and running again. I have talked to a few people who miss my recipes being filmed and shared there. They feel it is easier to follow by listening a long.

To be honest, I just have not been myself the last few years. I feel like I have been struggling with my identity and have lacked a lot of confidence in making these videos where I am talking and walking you through recipes. On top of that, my depression has kicked my ass more times than once so most of my meal preps are boring and not creative so I do not feel inspired to be in front of the camera. I am working on changing that– and it might feel weird for me to do that again… so bare with me.

While I begin to film content for my channel again, I wanted to share an old favorite of mine.

I traveled to Atlanta years ago and I experience the most amazing Chicken and Waffles. It was so damn good, it made me want to move there. I had been on a cut when I got the craving for this yummy dish and knew I wanted to make a version that was higher in protein and fit my macros better, so I did!
Check out the recipe on my channel: Team Fearless Fitness Chicken and Waffles

And if you are new to visiting us on the YouTube, please like, subscribe and share so that your friends can enjoy all of my weirdness on the Team Fearless Fitness channel.

That is all for now!

Until next time! You are enough, you are doing your bestโ€“ stay fearlessย ๐Ÿ–คย -T

Not much to report this week except for almost breaking my damn neck snowboarding Friday… Worth it to get that not so great of footage of us bombing down the beginner hill ๐Ÿคช
Full video is on my IG/TikTok. I mean, how do people really use selfie sticks down the mountain– takes some serious talent.

We cooked some pretty amazing meal prep’s this week so wanted to bring you 2 recipes that are SUPER easy to cook and very yummy to eat.
I am calling this Chicken Sausage and Veggies over Basmati Rice. Honestly the easiest and cost effective meal for the week.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup basmati rice
– 1 package of chicken sausage links
-1 bag of mixed frozen veggies
– 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
– 1 Tsp Coconut Aminos
– 1 Tbsp Sriracha

Directions:
1. Cook rice according to your package. I used a rice cooker but you can use microwaveable rice, it makes the cook time 100% quicker
2. Cut up chicken sausage and cook in air fryer at 400 for 8 mins (You can cook on the stove)
3. Microwave veggies in their bag according to package directions
4. Once rice is cooked, dump rice and veggies into a bowl. Mix in soy sauce, aminos and sriracha
5. Separate into 4 separate meal prep containers and top with equal amounts of chicken sausage
DONE!
Makes 4, Macros: 288 Calories, 23g Carbs, 11g Fat, 17g Protein


Now this one, I made for dinner, but I did not track the macros because I was in a hurry.
Ground Chicken pasta with Kale and Alfredo Sauce.

Ingredients:
– 1 lb pack of ground chicken
-1 box of Banza Protein Pasta
– 1 Jar of Basil Alfredo Sauce
– 3 Cups of Kale
– 2 cups of Mushrooms sliced
– Red pepper flakes/ Feta / Parmesan cheese for topping

Directions:
– Cook ground chicken until 3/4 way cooked, add mushrooms and saute until tender
– While chicken is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions
– Once chicken is cooked through, add the kale and cover until wilted, about 2 mins, stir and then cover until pasta is done
– Once pasta is done, drain and add the pasta back to your pan
– Stir in chicken mixture and add alfredo sauce, let simmer until heated throughout, about 2-4 mins
– Serve and top with cheese and red pepper flakes.

Short but packed with lots of flavor in this episode. I was thinking of going back to filming my meal preps and my dinners and posting them to my Youtube. Thoughts? Would we like those to come back?

If so, drop a comment or send me a message on the social platforms and we can see how we can get creative with it!

Hope you enjoy these recipes and if you try it please let me know how you liked it!

Until next time! You are enough, you are doing your bestโ€“ stay fearlessย ๐Ÿ–ค -T

2022 What a Banger

Team Fearless FitnessLeave a comment

Happy New Year Fam!
It has been a whirlwind these last few weeks. I think the last time you heard from me, I had all these plans for the winter break… well my body had other plans and I came down with the RONA… again… on christmas eve. Covid, the gift that keeps on giving. I was healthy by New Years though so we did not ring in 2023 isolated and alone, thank god.
Annnnnd, Binks has returned home after living with his Grandma for the last 10+ years. Now that his mamma finally has a house of her own, he gets to live his life with me, the kidless millennial who is going to try to put sweaters on him.
He is like 76 in human years, wild huh; he is still trying to get comfortable in his new house haha little grumpy pants.

2022 was a banger of memories though— from hiking (I was 13 miles shy of my 100 mile goal!) to exploring caves underwater, concerts and off roading in Yoshi… there were some sad moments, lots of self reflection, lots of change. Even though I am very thankful for this life, and the year I have had, I feel like this year is going to be THE year. 2020 was a shit show, 2021 was a mix of a shit show, 2022 was trying to find your footing again and now 2023 is going to be the year we thrive. At least that is what I am manifesting.

2023 Goals ๐Ÿ’œ
– Hike 100 miles (For reals this time)
– Focus more on self care, my nutrition and building healthy habits
– Be more social (but on my terms cause anxiety)
– Organize and declutter spaces in my house. Get rid of things that I do not need, do not serve a purpose or make me feel any negative emotion
– Adventure more– travel to new places, take more weekend trips
– Plan more dates that are not just a night out to dinner, something deeper, I really want to do a pottery class (2023 the year of the crafty bitch)
– Finish remodeling the garage and basement (stretch goal here)
I am sure I will add to this list over time but these are things that are becoming really important for me in 2023.
What are your 2023 goals? Drop them in the comments below!

Since kicking off the new year, I have been really dialing in on my nutrition and fitness. I have been prepping and logging my food. I actually just got done meal prepping my lunch as I type this out… and that means you get a new recipe from your girl. It has filled the house with some great aromatics and I feel like I am in Italy. Thank me later.

I am not sure what to call this but let’s just call it a Creamy Rose Turkey Bake with Rice.

Ingredients:
* 1 Jar of Creamy Rose Pasta Sauce which is just Tomato and Cream so you can find something similar if you are not near a Kroger store.
* 3 small zucchini sliced
* 1 lb of ground Turkey 93/7 is what I use but use what you like, however it will change the macros
* 1 bag of basmati microwaveable rice because I am lazy, but you can use any rice you would prefer
* Seasonings (italian, garlic salt)

Directions:
1. Cook & season ground turkey until almost done
2. While turkey is browning, slice your zucchini
3. Once turkey is about 1/2 to 3/4 cooked, add zucchini, cook about 4-5 mins or until the zucchini is al dente
4. Once cooked through, add sauce, simmer about 3-4 mins
5. While the sauce is simmering, cook rice in microwave according to package
6. prepare your meal prep– mine made 4, so I split the rice, and the mixture into 4 class dishes, let cool then store in fridge.

MACROS: 317 calories 28g net carbs, 12g fat, 24g protein

Since food is my love language… and exploring new places is on my goal list this year, we ventured up to Salt Lake and tried a new hidden gem called Salt and Olive. It was by far, some of the best food I have had in Utah. The bread is to die for. The service was :: Chef’s Kiss::
What we ate:
* House Bread
* Caesar Salad
* Truffle Pizza
* Zeppole E Limone
What I drank:
* Blackberry Brambler AKA Lady Pleaser (and that it did) ๐Ÿ˜‰


If you are local or just visiting SLC, I highly recommend checking this place out.

Well that is all she wrote for the start of 2023! Can’t wait to share all our adventures and hit goals & milestones together.

Where should we go first this year???

Until next time! You are enough, you are doing your bestโ€“ stay fearlessย ๐Ÿ–ค – T
