Krav and Kookin'

I spelled cooking with a K, so it would match Krav, get it?

No?

Alrighty then, moving on.

Well, now that the cats out of the bag about the whole "I'm not prepping thing" I figured it's time to switch gears.

I'm going to blog about WHATEVER I WANT.

HAHAHA.

Within reason, of course.

But first, I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you. To all of you.

The support I received after sharing my last post has been overwhelming. I'm so blessed to be surrounded by such supportive and loving people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This has been an extremely difficult decision and transition, and it means the world to be that you guys have my back.

I love you all <3

So, during my quest to find different goals and experiment in the kitchen, I have done just that! And I'd like to share this all with you!

I just got home after a kick-ass krav maga class! I'm sure most of you are scratching your heads reading that, but don't worry, I'm here to elaborate.

Krav Maga is a type of self-defense class! It's really amazing and a killer workout.

I'm so used to weight lifting, which I absolutely love (BAE) but I want to expand and grow as a fitness lover. So, I'm trying totally different things. Krav Maga is all body weight. I have been brutalizing a punching bag endlessly, and it's so much fun. I'm finding a love for it, and I can see myself sticking around with it.

On top of that, my best friend has been sending me links to online workout videos. So I have been engaging in those as well. If you are the person who lives in apartment 2A underneath me, you have my most sincere apology.

Those of you who know me personally know about my secret love affair.

And I think that you all know my pretty well by now too, but it's time to open up about something I love more than life.

One Direction.

Yup, I said it.

Harry Styles is the love of my life, wait and see.

That being said, Aya knows of my undying passion for this British boyband, and one of the videos she sent me is titled:

"That's what makes you Bootyful."

I'm not kidding.

Here it is:

GIVE IT A TRY! You'll have buns of steal by the time Harry finishes his last flawless note.

Before I have a hot flash, we can move right along.

FOOD.

So after Krav, I was ready to feed my hungry muscles!

With none other than a new recipe!

I made a healthy burrito and homemade cinnamon sugar chips!

Don't think I'm going to leave you hanging.

I'm going to tell you how I made magic in my kitchen.

So BURRITO:

In a skillet, I browned some 99% lean ground turkey, and added chopped celery and onion.

I cooked these together until everything looked nice and delicious and then I added a tid-bit of low sodium taco seasoning and water. I took the heat off and then microwaved a low-carb tortilla and refried beans. (I LOVE BEANS <3)

I put some plain greek yogurt and beans on the base of the tortilla, and added a bit of Colby-jack cheese.

I always substitute plain greek yogurt over sour cream because I get more protein for the same taste!

I also added some green salsa my dad RAVES about.

Seriously.

If you ever land on the topic of food, he, without fail, will recommend it to you.

So here's a picture of that.

If you like hot things, you'll love this. If you're like me and don't love hot things, grab a cup of water, because this is going to be a bumpy ride.

Back to that burrito.

So after I added all the extras, I put some of my turkey-veggie mix in and rolled it up!

Delicious.

The cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips are so easy to make.

Pre-heat the oven to 350.

Mix some cinnamon and sugar together and set it aside.

Take a tortilla and cut it into eight triangles and put melted butter on them. You can use the spray butter, too, that's what I did. It's too convenient not to use!

Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on the tortilla chips and slide them into the oven.

EYEBALL THEM.

Haha... I realize I gave you recipes with no specifics. If I have an OCDer reading this, sorry.

Winging it is half of the fun!

Well that's it for this post.
As you know, I like to end on a dramatic, heart-wrenching note.

So here's my favorite fit-spiration.

And probably yours now, too.

(Side note: If you're experiencing cardiac arrest, it's fine. I am, too. Stay on the ground until you regain feeling in your chest.)
