Make your own Chipotle

I hope everyone enjoyed the Easter holiday! I sure did! I got to bake with my momma which is the best thing in the world! We made yummy sweet rolls and Italian Egg baskets of course the tradition ones! I did not jot down the recipes from my mom before I left, but here are the lovely pictures and will share the recipes when I attempt to make them on my own!!!

I did my meal planning last night and made my shopping list. Got all my shopping done this morning and had time to  prep for dinner and make a healthy sweet treat before the gym! Of course I had to pick up some more veggies to have my roasted veggie fix.  I actually tried a variation that my cousin Sara suggested that I try.  All I did differently was that I added feta cheese and Olive Garden's Italian dressing. OMG sooo yummy!!!  Thanks Sara!!!!

For dinner I had to marinate my chicken for make your own Chipotle! I have only ate at Chipotle I believe twice but I enjoyed it so decided to make my own!! Even if you dont want to make the full recipe the marinade for the chicken is awesome!!

Chipotle's Chicken Burrito Bowl

Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
2 -3 garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1t ground chipotle powder ( I looked everywhere and couldn't find it so I used 1t of my Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce and two shakes of chili powder)
1/2t dried oregano
2t salt
1t black pepper
1t paprika
2t white vinegar
1t lime juice

Mix all of these ingredients up and add your chicken. Marinade overnight ideally, but I did four-five hours.

For the Rice:

2c rice cooked. (I used brown/wholegrain)
2t olive oil
4t lime juice
1t lemon juice
1/2t salt
2T cilantro

Mix it all up!!

Grill your chicken on the grill. Let sit 5 minutes before you cut it up. Chop it up and pick it in with your rice. You can add then whatever else you want. I used lettuce and cheese. The sour cream mix is as followed: 2T sour cream to 1t heavy cream. Yummmmmm! I could eat this every day with variations to it!

For my healthy treat today I found this muffin recipe that caught my eye because it was CHOCOLATE! Who doesn't love chocolate, and even more when they say "healthy 100 cal!" They turned out great too!! I am going to eat one with my free Silk Almond Milk Protein + Fiber. I got a free coupon to try this if I participate in a "campaign."  You get invited to different campaigns and they send you free coupons you just have to rate the product!! It's called BzzAgent if anyone is interested!  This is my first one so I will keep you all posted on any other products I get to try. I am hesitant about the almond milk but it is soooooo much healthier for you!! Okay okay Chocolate recipe below.

Double Fudge Banana Muffins

1egg

1/4c brown sugar

1/3c applesauce (I used unsweetened)

1t vanilla

1c mashed bananas (about 2)

1c oat flour (I used all purpose flour)

1/2t baking soda

1/2t baking powder

1/2t salt

1/4 cocoa powder (you can use the dark chocolate one if you want too :)

Chocolate Chips (optional)

Preheat 350. Grease muffin tin. Whisk together the egg, sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and bananas. Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix just until blended. Don't over mix it. 

I did mini ones baked for 13 minutes, and large ones 18-20 minutes. Yummmy! This is definitely a keeper!
