What's for Dinner Tonight?



What's for dinner tonight? The question we ask ourselves every day... I find myself googling that question or asking my clients during the day. I have decided I love to talk about what everyone has for dinner. I am going to blog about what I make for dinner, and I hope to hear from you about what you are having for dinner.
Thursday night is a busy night at our house and I am short on time. This is what we had last night, chicken sausages, baked beans, fresh kale salad with lemon juice dressing. A healthy meal can be quick. Thank you Trader Joe's.
I swung by Trader Joe's after seeing clients and before picking up the kids from school. I bought  sweet italian chicken sausages, canned baked beans, and a bag of ready to go kale.
I preheated the oven to 375 degrees and placed the beans in a shallow dish to bake.(they get a yummy crust on them and taste homemade) Mean while I start to fry the sausages on the stove top, and assemble the salad. Toss the kale in a bowl, add thin slices of red onion , drizzle with good olive oil and the juice of two lemons, salt and pepper, Done. In less than thirty minutes dinner is ready!

Promoting a Movement Based Life

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day. As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit. So I challenge you to change that, think of ways to increase movement throughout the day.  Stand up when you are working on your computer (stand on both feet with weight equal) Sit down on t...

It's whats for dinner tonight!

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.
