Recipe of the Month

I found this in Muscle and Fitness Hers magazine and made it over the weekend. I used Quorn Meatless Grounds (one of Carrie Underwood’s favorites!) and it turned out great. You can also use ground turkey (that the recipe calls for), lean beef, etc.

Chile Rellenos

(serves 4 but you can make just 1 or 2)

1 lb. Ground Turkey (or Quorn, lean beef, etc.) browned. If you use Quorn, microwave according to the directions.
1 Tbsp. chopped chipotle in adobo sauce (comes in a small can)
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup light sour cream
4 poblano chiles (I cut the stems off and then took out the inner parts and seeds and then made an opening in the top for meat)
2 oz. tortialla chips, crumbled (I left out this part for less calories)
3 oz. queso fresco (I substitued a few tablespoons of grated cheddar)
1 lemon
Small bunch of cilantro leaves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl combine meat, chopped pepper, cumin, onion and sour cream. Stuff mxture in chiles and place open side up on baking sheet.
2. Bake 30minutes or until center of chiles are cooked through. *If you use Quorn or other pre-cooked meat, you can reduce the time to about 20minutes. Garnish with tortilla chips, cheese, lemon wedges and cilantro.

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
