Tilapia, Green Beans, Mashed Flax-tatoes

I am going nuts! I have had to take the past 2 days off from the gym to let my body recover from the CF competition I competed in on Saturday. You will learn that skipping days at the gym is a very rare occurrence for me... Soooo to keep my mind off my sore body and lack of physical activity today, I decided to make myself a nice dinner. 

Pan-fried Tilapia 

Heat skillet with 2 table spoons of olive oil. While the pan is heating up, season tilapia to your liking (I used lemon pepper seasoning today). Then, place tilapia loins into the heated skillet. Cook on eat side for 3-4 minutes each, then remove from heat. Squeeze some lemon on top & enjoy :)

EVOO Green Beans

Rinse and cut green beans. Steam green beans to desired tenderness. Add some EVOO, salt and pepper to the green beans. Shake pan to make sure seasoning gets evenly distributed.

Mashed Flax-tatoes

Chop 1 head of cauliflower into 2-3 inch pieces. Steam the cauliflower until it is fork-tender and place in food processor (I use my ninja blender and it works the same). Add 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t pepper & 1/2 garlic powder. Blend til you get mixture to desired consistency (should look like mashed potatoes) and enjoy :)



Such an easy, delicious dinner to throw together! Mashed flax-tatoes are one of my favorite side dishes. I eat them multiple times a week mostly because they are delicious, but also because they are so easy to  make! 

Well, time to go watch The Biggest Loser (great show). Good night!
