Ginger lemon bakes chicken!




1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 whole lemons, one juiced and one sliced
1/4 cup minced ginger 
1 teaspoon garlic powder 
1 teaspoon onion powder
ground pepper to taste 
4-6 chicken breasts, wash and pat dry 
1 medium onion (any kind), thinly sliced
1 tsp thyme 
1 tsp rosemary 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and ginger. 
Place chicken in a rimmed 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish ( add any veggies that you would like too). Place parts skin side up and spread them out evenly in the pan. Pour olive oil mixture all over chicken, turning pieces to coat all sides. (If you marinated the chicken in this mixture, still add it all in). Arrange slices of lemon and onion around and under the chicken. Sprinkle all over generously with thyme, and rosemary (free foods). 
Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked and juices run clear. Remove parts to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
Enjoy!

2B Mindset

4 years ago.. a spin instructor, overworking out and under eating. I was put on medications for the lack of nutrition. I struggled with binge eating, smoke to lose weight and had a terrible relationship with food!  All the years of restricting myself or overeating caught up with me. I was left exhausted, depleted and desperate.   But, 4 years ago, I learned how to turn food into fuel so I could FEEL better and live my best life. I used portion control and clean eating to go off medications and have a better relationship with food BUT still have struggled with the scale and balance.  NEXT WEEK, I learn how to take all of those negative cognitions around food and remove them from my life... for good.  The 2B Mindset Weight Loss Program, coming May 2, 2018, is a breakthrough weight loss program that will have you feeling full and satisfied not hungry and deprived. No more counting calories, points, measuring food or cutting food groups. You g...

3 day cleanse results

Here's what I ate daily: Breakfast: Serving of fruit and a vegan chocolate shakeology. Mid morning: Fiber sweep (you get use to it) Lunch: Serving of vegetables, fruit and health fat along with a superfood shake. Snack: Serving of vegetables and healthy fat.

Click HERE for pricing. 4. What do I do after the cleanse? There is a maintenance guide that comes with the 3 day ...

Feelin'

Along with recipes, health tips and fitness moves, I want to share my journey mentally and emotionally too.  I am not certain though that people want to read it, but I do feel like people will understand me more and possibly can relate. Other than the physical transformations, I feel like more happens inside and I want to explore that.  I have always been an active kind of person, sports, running and outside "stuff." The thing that really kicked my ass was nutrition, I was so active that I thought I could eat and drink whatever I wanted! Like most of us~  I became a spin instructor at a small studio in Lake Oswego OR, loved it and still do! I def was not the skinniest of the bunch and I didnt really even care lol but after teaching 6-8 times a weak, I began to have NO ENERGY and my body was not changing.. Not cool when you are working out so much, right?!? After getting blood work done, I found of that I depleted my iron, thyroid, vit D and I had no cholesterol in ...
