Walgreens Friends and Family Deals!

So last night I finally went through my Sunday paper looking through the ad's, etc.  I always look at Walgreens for their super cheap bottled water.  I noticed 24 pks of water were only $1.99 (limit 3 but that is ok).  They also had Gain detergent, sandwich bags and freezer bags for .89...what a deal and who does not need water, laundry detergent, and sandwich bags?  So I added these items to my list.  Then I get an email from Walgreens last night with a 15% off friends and family coupon on all purchases......20% off if you buy anything that is Walgreens brand (The NICE brand) which turned out perfect for me!

Here is my breakdown of savings:

NICE brand bottled water $1.99-20% off = $1.59 each 24pk (WOW--I got 3 packs)
NICE brand sandwich bags AND freezer bags = .89 = 20% off = .78 per box (I got 4 boxes)
GAIN laundry detergent $4.99-15% off = 4.24 - $1 manuf Cpn = $3.24 (Not bad)

TOTAL SPENT $11.13

Flat Bread Pizza!

Today I was at Publix picking up a few things for dinner!  I knew when I got up I wanted a flat bread pizza.  Of course the "Flat Out" bread was BOGO so I got 2 bags for $3.19.  Not a bad deal!  I usually freeze a bag, and keep one bag out.

With a flat bread pizza you can't go wrong.....add whatever you would like with less than half the fat of a traditional pizza. 

Here is the breakdown of my dinner tonight......

Flat Out Bread
Pizza sauce (I go light so it does not weigh down the bread)
1/4 c mozzarella cheese
9 pepperoni's
red onion
tomato
mushrooms

Heat oven on 450-500, cook for about 6-7 minutes (watch it so it does not BURN).

According to my calculations (and the package of each item) my flatbread was aprox:

245 Calories
16 g carbs
15 g fat
19 g protein
860 g sodium

Not bad for a nice size flatbread ;)  Enjoy!

Paleo Chicken Stir Fry w/ Mediterranean Flair

Wow, it's been forever since I have posted any new recipes I have tried out!  I guess because I have not made anything new in almost a month.  Last week I got on a kick and went online for new dinner idea's and I found a few actually!  Mostly from fastpaleo.com.  Now I don't eat paleo every night, it's more like a few meals a week, and then I make whatever I want the other days that are non paleo. 

The first new recipe I tried out over the weekend and it was really good!!  Here is the recipe!

3 Boneless Chicken Breasts cut in to bite size pieces

3 Cups Fresh Green Beans

1 Medium Red Pepper sliced

1/2 Red Onion sliced

10 White Mushrooms sliced (or more if you choose-I love em')

15 Kalamata Olives pitted (or more if you wish)

4 Tbs Kalamata Olive juice (I used more but it's up to you)

Sea Salt to taste

1 Tbs Ghee or Cooking oil of your choice (Olive oil would be okay for this.) -I used coconut oil

Cut up all your veggies and chicken.  Sprinkle salt on chicken pieces.
Heat oil in a medium fry pan on medium-high
Add chicken to pan.
Let meat brown on both sides and cook. Should take about 5 min on each side.

 

 



After chicken is cooked, Add 2 Tbsp kalamata olive juice.
Add green beans, red bell peppers, mushrooms, and kalamata olives.
Let vegetables and chicken simmer (about 3 minutes.)
Remove from heat.
Veggies should still be crunchy but cooked (i.e – onions will have become caramelized.)

Serve up and enjoy!
