I made this recipe last night as a prep for all the members in my teams 5 day free clean eating group and it was amazing!!! 

INGREDIENTS:
2 (1-lb each) acorn squash, halved crosswise and seeded
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
8-oz package sliced button mushrooms
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1 tsp diced garlic
¾ tsp. dried thyme
1 cup quinoa
1 cup vegetable
1 cup water
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450º. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. olive oil over insides of squash and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on rimmed baking sheet and cover pan tightly with foil. Roast until tender, about 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add mushrooms, onion and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.

Add quinoa water, and broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Remove squash from oven and turn each squash over on the baking sheet. Carefully scoop out 2 to 3 tablespoons flesh from each squash half and stir into rice. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice mixture and place inside squash halves. Sprinkle with Parmesan and place back in oven until cheese is melted.

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...

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 ...
