Who loves Mexican food??? Me!?

(This was hubby's size serving, he is a ZONE 5-blocker)
Ok, so I am pretty sure I could live off of Mexican food every single day..... but when I go to a restaurant I absolutely CAN NOT refuse the chips and guacomole.... so, I had to cook up an alternative that satisfied my Mexican tooth (not sweet tooth lol). This was simply amazing and satisfying..... tasted like I was cheating......
 Here is how Hubby and I did it....

Flank Steak about 2lbs
I seasoned mine and let it sit for a couple hours....
- 2 tsp chili powder
-2 tsp garlic powder
-fresh lime juice
-fresh cracked pepper
-sea salt

Spanish Rice (made with Cauli)
-1 Cauliflour head
-1 sliced carrot
-3/4 cups tomato sauce (no sugar added)
-2 tsp minced garlic
-2tsp onion flakes
-season w/chili powder, salt and pepper

Mashed avacado's
-1 ripe avacado
-1/2 TBS cilantro
-salt
-chili powder
-garlic powder


In a medium pot steam your cauliflour and carrots on medium-high heat for around 10 minutes or until they are soft.... and mash with potato masher, add tomato sauce... season and let simmer on low heat while you cook "Carne Asada"

After you season the Flank Steak, warm up a Cast-Iron pan on medium-high heat. Spray pan w/Olive Oil Spray and brown the meat..... YAY that is done!

For the Avacados.... I always cut the avacados in half, remove the pit and slice the avacados while they are still in their shell... then I remove with a spoon... put the chopped avacados in a bowl... add ingredients and ENJOY!!!! :)

In the picture was my husbands serving size.... unfortunetly, he eats way more than me... and had corn tortillas.....
I had 4oz of meat, 1 cup of cauli, and 1 TBS of avacados... it was filling for my tummy and brain :)

PS I had the left over steak w/eggs this morning and it was still just as good!

My body is my engine.... this is my fuel 2-11-2010

I went to a nutrition Seminar at Crossfit Marysville w/Todd Widman and he basically said if your body is an engine.... then think of it as the best engine in the entire world..... now lets think of our food as our fuel.... what kind of fuel are you putting into your engine.... high quality fuel that will help it perform better or crappy fuel that makes you slow, doesn't last as long and leaves behind mushy, sticky sludge???

Me? today my fuel is....
Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 TBS of organic peanut butter, 1 scoop lowfat and sugar free choco protein powder (notes: taste like a no-bake cookie... it is sooooo delicious!!!!)

Lunch: 5oz chicken breast grilled w/a lil taco seasoning, topped w/fresh salsa and 1 TBS avacado and put on 2 pieces of butter lettuce w/side of 1 cup steamed asparagus and a kiwi (notes: This was filling and tasted soooo good... I started eating it slow so it would last longer lol)

Snack: 2 hardboiled eggs w/egg yolks mixed w/avacado and 1 cup of steamed brocolli

Dinner: will be baked salmon topped w/pesto and tons of cups of steamed asparagus mmmmmmmm I can't wait!!!!
