An Elemental Life And Wellness

An Elemental Life And Wellness “Make physical and emotional well-being elemental in YOUR life”. Wellness is described as a “state of being comfortable, healthy or happy”.

Many years ago I turned from a dark lifestyle and set out on a journey to acquire improved health both physically and emotionally. I wanted to learn how to become comfortable in my own skin. I wanted to lose weight and keep it off. More importantly, I wanted to find contentment and be happy in life. I’ve had many ups and downs over the years and like many I have had to learn from my mistakes. Alon

g the way, I discovered that emotional well-being went hand in hand with physical health. One cannot exist without the other. As I continue to ride the wave, I am amazed at what I uncover about myself and the world around me. This page is intended to encourage, support, uplift and share knowledge as well as resources I have acquired from my own personal experiences throughout my health journey. About Me:
I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a friend, a human being who believes in God. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 14 years, a Watsu Aquatic Therapist for over 9 years, a Certified Ai Chi Instructor for over 3 years and now I am also a Certified FDN-P (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner) and a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. My goal is to share not only recipes and exercise tips but also dive into more vulnerable and emotional topics. I’m excited to bring you all along as I evolve in my pursuit of self-discovery!

When a super simple lunch makes you speechless. 😲

A very quick Egg Salad with 4 large Hard Boiled Eggs 🥚, Dukes Mayo, 1 whole Avocado 🥑, a smear of leftover Cottage Cheese, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, and Garlic Salt.

I toasted some of my mom's homemade Sourdough Bread and layered on fresh Spinach and the Egg Salad. It had just the right amount of crunch.

Delicious!! 😋

I needed a quick throw together one night this past week. So.... I made these delicious Chicken Ceasar Smash Burger Wraps. 😋

Simple ingredients and easy to make! 🙌

👇👇👇

Ingredients ~

🔅 Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Wraps
🔅 Ground Chicken
🔅 Spices of your choice
🔅 Soy Free Soy Sauce
🔅 Romaine Lettuce
🔅 Grated Parmesan Cheese
🔅 Shredded Parmesan Cheese
🔅 Primal Kitchen Ceasar Dressing

Directions ~

Mix your Ground Chicken with desired spices. Mix in a good handful of Grated Parmesan. Add a few TBSP of Soy Free Soy Sauce. Measure with your heart!! ❤️

I made 4 large balls and then flattened them onto a High Fiber Wrap. I did my best to take the meat as close to the end as possible.

📣📣📣 Tip: You could easily use smaller wraps and make smaller Smash Burgers.

I cooked each in a skillet with some Avocado 🥑 Oil until they were crispy on both sides. Because that's how this Momma likes it! 😎

To make the topping, just mix your clean, chopped Romaine Lettuce with a little more Grated Parmesan and Ceasar Dressing.

I simply placed my Greens on top of the Smash Burger then added some Shredded Parmesan Cheese.

Done! ✔️

Check out this protein packed Chicken Parmesan! 😍

I LOVE Italian food. It just fills your soul soooo good! 💯

So this weekend I made Chicken Parmesan over Protein Pasta Bake. Simple ingredients and easy to throw together. 🙌

👇👇👇

I used premade finely Ground Pork Rines with Italian Seasoning that I purchased online thru Amazon. Saved me tons of time!!

I poured the Ground Pork Rines into a medium size square dish and mixed in Grated Parmesan, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Garlic Salt. I measured with my heart ❤️.

I flattened 6 smaller size Chicken Breasts with a meat tenderizer. I dipped each Chicken Breast in Egg 🥚 and then coated well in my Ground Pork Rines mixture on both sides.

I fried my Chicken in Avocado 🥑 Oil in my Cast Iron skillet (about 3-4 minutes on each side) and then placed on a baking sheet. I topped each one with a little Shredded Parmesan Cheese and placed in the oven until the cheese was melty.

I made my Pasta Bake like I usually do using Barilla Chickpea Penne Pasta and Rao's Vodka Sauce. I added Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese. 😋

After my Chicken was ready I placed it directly on top of my Pasta Bake (which was baking in the oven as well). I added a little extra sauce on top and Grated Parmesan. And BAM!! Supper was done.

This entire process took me about 30 minutes start to finish. 😎

And...we had leftovers. I LOVE leftovers. 😁

These pictures 📸 do NOT do this Chicken Crust Pizza any justice!! Let me tell you...if you want a hearty, protein packed meal....try this!! 💯

Super simple Ingredients ~

Ground Chicken, Finely Ground Pork Rines, Grated Parmesan, and Spices. Rolled up until a ball, flattened on parchment and baked on one side for 25 minutes at 400 and flipped and baked on the other for 15 minutes.

I made my crust a little thinner, but it can be thicker. Just adjust your bake time ⏲️ for the 2nd time to be longer.

I topped with Rao's Pizza Sauce and a mixture of Pepper, Sausage, diced Ham, and Bacon. 🥓 I also used Thick Shredded Mozzarella Cheese this time.

Baked again for 10 more minutes. And BAM!! DONE! ✔️

Delicious, filling, and protein packed! 💪

Simple Sunday Meal Prepping Done ✅️

This week's focus is on using what we have since we're coming back from being on vacation and the money 💰 is basically non-existent. 😅

Breakfast ~

🔅 Frittatas from the freezer for My Future Husband that I had put 2 aside each week knowing both funds and time ⏲️ would be tight this week.

🔅 Scrambled Eggs with 7 whole Eggs🥚, Cottage Cheese, and 2 cups of Egg Whites for my oldest son.

🔅 8 Hard Boiled Eggs 🥚 for my other teenage son for the beginning of this week. He doesn't like any other kind of Egg. 🤣

🔅 Veggie Nutrient Egg White Bake with 4 cups of Egg Whites, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Blended Spinach and Broccoli 🥦 Stems (leftover from another meal), and a little Cottage Cheese for me.

Lunch ~

🔅 Chicken Salad with chopped Apple and Grapes 🍇 for My Future Husband.

🔅 For me... I'll be eating on leftover soup 🍲 from the freezer (not shown because I'm lazy today 😂).

Snacks ~

🔅 My Future Husband's favorite go to Pepperoni and Cheese Cups

🔅 Bone Broth and Cucumbers 🥒 and Hummus for me (again not pictured because I'm tired 😴).

Supper ~

🔅 I pulled several meals out of the freezer. From Stuffed Chicken Breast to Mexican Bake we'll have a wide selection to choose from. 👌

It's times like these I'm so glad I prep ahead and put meals back. 😎 It saves not only time, but money as well. 💯

Beach Food Part IV: Lunch and Snacks

While I focused on more Protein packed meals for My Future Husband and I, I opted for simpler choices for the kiddos. 😏

I made Chicken Salad with my usual chopped Apple 🍎 and Grapes, but I added Celery this time plus Greek Yogurt for even more....protein!!

I made Protein Pasta Salad with Chickpea Rigatoni Pasta, Italian Dressing, Mini Pepperoni, Mini Salami, Cubed Ham, and Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese. 🧀

I was on a Strawberry 🍓 kick this week so I cleaned and packed plenty for me and my youngest to snack on.

I also premade Deviled Eggs. I'll admit only half of us were into them. But... they were absolutely delicious and most definitely worth the time it took to make them ahead. I served them with Hamburgers 🍔 and Hot Dogs 🌭 one night (not pictured because I forgot). 🙄

Beach Day Bento Boxes had Pretzel Bun Subs and Hawaiian Rolls with Ham, Bacon 🥓, and Cheese as well as the kiddo's favorite snacks. 🍪

This saved us oodles of money 💰 and saved me tons of time.

Beach Food Part III: Breakfast!! 🧇

Again... my goal was to make as much of our food ahead of time and freeze everything possible so it made it even easier to travel with. 😎

I made 👇👇👇

🧇 Protein Chocolate Chip Waffles with Whey Protein Powder, Kodiak Protein Flour, Eggs 🥚, Sugar Free Caramel Sauce, Almond Milk, and Vanilla Extract.

🌯 Steak Breakfast Burritos with Xtreme Wellness Protein Wraps, Seasoned Flank Steak, Scrambled Eggs, Shredded Colby Jack Cheese, Hash Browns, and Spices.

🍞 Raisin Cinnamon French Toast using my mom's homemade Sourdough Bread, (1) Vanilla Premier Protein Shake, Eggs, Cinnamon, Swerve Brown Sugar, and Vanilla Extract. I premade my mixture ahead of time too!! I just packed a little extra Swerve Confectioners to sprinkle on top before serving. 😋

I premade Scrambled Eggs and packed Hard Boiled Eggs 🥚 as well as fresh Fruit 🍇 to make it even easier to get food on the table especially before beach days.

I also took Thick Cut Bacon 🥓 and Grands Biscuits to cook up fresh one morning. And of course we didn't forget the butter 🧈 and Sugar Free 🍓 Jam.

On our last day we splurged and bought the kiddos donuts 🍩. Though surprisingly they asked if we had any of their other breakfast favorites left. 😅

Needless to say, we started each day of our vacation with full bellies 💯 and I'm so glad I invested the time to prep BEFORE we left.

It was time well worth spent. 🙌

Beach Food Part II: Chicken Fritters 😋

My entire family LOVES Chicken Fritters. But honestly... I hate making them! 😫 They're so very tedious and the oil just gets everywhere!!

That being said, I felt like this was a family favorite I couldn't avoid making. So I put my thinking cap on 🤔 and decided to find a way to premake these Fritters without the mess.

I opted to bake my Fritters ahead of time and place them in the freezer after they'd cooled. This way they would act as a makeshift freezer bag for our travel cooler and it would also make it easier for me to fry them in oil afterwards. 😏
... And that's exactly what I did! 😎

Once we arrived to our beach ⛱️ house I placed them in the fridge to continue defrosting and then on a different evening I warmed them up in the microwave for a few minutes and then immediately placed them in a large frying pan with oil.

I removed them from the oil and sprinkled on Garlic Salt. Because EVERYTHING is better with Garlic and Salt! 🧂

Needless to say, not a single Fritter was left. 😌 There were enough for everyone to have 3 large Chicken Fritters.

This was another win 🏆 for this busy momma. 🙌

Beach Food Part I: Protein Pizza Pasta Bake 😋

As usual I premade several meals to take for our annual family beach ⛱️ trip. I wanted to make meals that were easy to make ahead, traveled well, and could feed a few very picky eaters. 🤭

I'm so happy with how well this particular dish turned out. I saved money 💰 by using some ingredients I already had and I froze the dish to use it as a giant ice tray for the large cooler I placed a bulk of my fridge items in.

So... this dish was not only delicious 🤤, but served more purposes than one!! A total win🏆 in my book! 🙌

What's even better about this dish is it's totally customizable!! Though my family really enjoyed the Sausage and Pepperoni, I could definitely make it again adding in some sneaky veggies such as: Spinach, Mushrooms, and Onions, or even Peppers! 🫑

I used our favorite brand of Chickpea Pasta for extra protein. 💪And of course the Meats and Cheeses increased the level of protein even more!!

This yummy meal will be put into our regular rotation going forward. Per request of said "picky eaters". 😅
