P90X Meal of the Week (Dinner!)

By phattyfit On July 19, 2011 No Comments

This one is very simple and will only take about 35 minutes to make.  I have a vegetable garden and grow massive zucchini but my wife never knows what to do with all of them.  You can only make so many before you tired of them.  I notice if you buy them at any produce store they are not good and half the size.  Below you will find a simple way to help with your p90x results.  I always think the food is never enough so typically I will add a few sides.  Brown rice and a small salad with oil and vinegar.  Remember that celebrities get in good shape because they can pay someone to eat healthy but if your not filthy rich I would assume you try the meal out below.  I didn’t put amount for each because it is all based on preference and how much you really want.  Please let me know your thoughts.

 Shrimp and Vegetable Medley! Ingredients: 1 to 3 lbs. shrimp, cleaned. Broccoli, Summer squash, Zucchini, Mushrooms, Cherry tomatoes, 2 tbsp. butter, Throwaway lasagna pan Instructions:

P90X Meal of the Week!(Desert)

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks at Godiva® to make it a romantic evening with your sweetie.  All you need is a microwave (or a double boiler), some dark chocolate (70% to 85% cacao solids), some strawberries, and some love. And if there’s a better way to show your love than with these two great sources of antioxidants, I’d like to hear it. In fact, if you’re single, this is a much better way to love yourself than with that pint of Ben and Jerry’s®

  • 1 dark chocolate bar (3 oz.), 70% to 85% cacao solids(Not Cheap but worth it)
  • 1 pint large strawberries (about a dozen)

Microwave chocolate in microwave-safe bowl, or melt in double boiler on stove.  Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate to lightly coat. Set aside on plate or wax paper to cool.  When chocolate has hardened, serve (or if you can’t wait, dip and eat, and call it chocolate fondue!).  Serves 2.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

It’s weird because I don’t feel guilty when I know that I’m getting a good amount of protein and fiber out of chocolate covered strawberries.   Don’t eat these
