Mustard Chicken Marinade

#whole30 approved mustard marinade for grilled chicken || @heathersdish

I can’t tell you how many times over the past months I’ve just wished for fall to get here already so that I could start enjoying the cool mornings, dry – but warm – days, and the chilly evenings. While I live in shorts and T-shirts almost year-round, I can’t help but be a little excited about fall clothes as well.

 

P.S. I have a gift card that my sweet sister got me for Christmas for Lululemon that I haven’t used yet. I’m thinking I may go for a top, like a hoodie or something. Any recommendations? If I’m going to spend the money on it I want to make sure that I can wear it ALL the time!

 

Anyway, the one thing that I’m not excited about with the cooler weather is that grilling will happen less and less the colder it gets. There’s just so much flavor in grilled food that screams the comfort of these lingering summer months! And while we’re doing our Whole30 challenge I can’t use my usual go-to marinade that’s packed with brown sugar (YUM), so I had to find a flavorful alternative and y’all? This is IT. It’s based off of my favorite Champagne shallot vinaigrette, and I use half to marinate and half as a sauce for the finished product. It’s tangy and mustard-y and just so good with that outdoor grilled flavor!

 

Y’all enjoy!

 

MUSTARD CHICKEN MARINADE

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until completely combined; there should be no chunks from the shallot or garlic.
  2. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture into a gallon-size plastic bag.
  3. Add 1-2 pounds of chicken – breasts, tenders, thighs, etc. – and seal the bag.
  4. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to grill, preheat grill over medium heat.
  6. Grill until the chicken is done; for breasts I usually grill for about 6 minutes per side, but to be sure you should check with a meat thermometer to insure that the internal temperature is 165ºF.
  7. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving; serve with the remainder of the marinade (the part that wasn’t used to marinate the raw chicken) as a sauce.
  8. Enjoy!

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG

❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.
