Workout I Did: Murph

This year, for the first time, I joined my CrossFit community at CrossFit Become in completing Murph. If you’re not familiar, “Murph” is one of CrossFit’s hero WODs — intentionally challenging workouts each named for fallen soldiers to honor their sacrifice in defense of our freedom. Murph is performed by CrossFitters around the world on Memorial Day weekend. “Murph” the Soldier This WOD is named for Navy Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy who was killed in action at age 29 on June 28th, 2005, in Afghanistan during a reconnaissance mission. Lt. Murphy was later posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his courageous and selfless acts which ultimately led to the …

Lentil Bowls with Avocado, Eggs and Cholula

Lentils with hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, cilantro and a few dashes of hot sauce is a really simple meatless lunch I like to make for myself anytime I have cooked lentils (or sometimes I buy them cooked).

It’s also an easy dish to meal prep, you can make the eggs and lentils ahead if you’re cooking them yourself, and add the avocado and tomatoes the day you plan to eat it.  If I buy my lentils precooked, they usually already come seasoned with salt, but if you make them yourself, be sure to add salt to them after. If you don’t like spicy food, you can skip the hot sauce, it will still be good!

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 82)

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 82). Summer is in full swing and I am adding some seasonal recipes to the meal plan this week.

Pictured below is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 82)

Monday: Baked Ratatouille with Havarti Cheese
Tuesday: Cheesy Zucchini Enchiladas with cauliflower rice
Wednesday: Grilled Romaine, Corn and Chicken Salad with Salsa Dressing
Thursday: Lobster Cobb Salad
Friday: Grilled Salmon Kebabs with My House Salad, Made with Love (Skinnytaste Cookbook)
Saturday: Dinner Out
Sunday: Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore with whole wheat spaghetti
