(Clean) Beef and Broccoli

Good Morning Sweet Friends! Today we have a clean healthy version of a classic take out recipe! I don't know about you but I LOVE Chinese take out but I don't like the MSG, Sodium, and Sugar that it is FULL of. When I started this clean eating journey I wanted to take foods that I loved and make a better version of them! Insert this Beef and Broccoli recipe! This is PACKED with flavor and minus all the yucky ingredients! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Clean Beef and Broccoli:

2 pounds of flank steak sliced thin

1 Head of Broccoli cut into bite size pieces

1 medium yellow onion

2 cloves of finely chopped garlic

1 teaspoon of Curry Powder (this is my personal favorite!)

4 Tablespoons of Coconut Amino's

1 Zucchini spiralized into noodles

Coconut Oil for cooking

In a pan over medium heat coconut oil and cook steak seasoned with curry powder until done. You still want some pink so you don't over cook it. Remove with a slotted spoon to rest

Next add in in your onion, garlic, and broccoli and cook until tender

Add your steak back in with the zucchini noodles and mix with Coconut amino's.

Serve by itself or add brown rice.

What are some of your favorite clean recipes! I would love to hear them in the comments below!

Have the BEST day!

Drinking/Eating. All the healthy things! If you read my March goals  then you saw that I am doing no sugar and no flour. Initially I was doing this for 4 weeks but I think this is something I am going to try and continue to do. I feel so good, I have so much more energy, and I am sleeping better.  Now this does not by any circumstance mean I am never going to have a cupcake or donut ever again because lets me real I love me a good donut. But it means that I will be very mindful to save these treats for special times or occasions. Some of my favorite things to make are: this Bacon Mushroom Chicken , also Also my favorite blogger to follow who shares the best healthy clean recipes is Lindsay Seven Layer Charlotte . She post's the best recipes and she is so motivating to live this clean eating lifestyle.





Planning.  My youngest Sister is getting married in May. We are in the midst of planning a bridal shower, bachelorette party, and helping with the final touches of the wedding itself! Also my oldest sister is having a baby!!!! So we are also planning a baby shower. I am loving all this party planning!





Dreaming of.  Spring and Summer. I am a Midwest girl and our winters can be LONG. I am so ready to be outside. I want to open my windows, go for a walk, and visit the farmers market. Summer please come!







Pinning. All the spring things!

Watching: Now that The Bachelore is over, I started watching Reign on Netflix. It's all about Mary Queen of Scots. It's definitely not historically accurate but it's pretty good! :)


Listening: Kacey Musgraves Butterflies, Lauv I Like Me Better, Meghan Trainor No Excuses, and the entire Greatest Showman Sound Track!

Have the BEST Day!

March Goals

Hello sweet friends! It feels so good to be back writing, I have missed this sweet ole blog so much and I have missed all of you. Things have  been a little quiet around here for some time. Lots of new and fun stuff to share and also some personal growth and things that needed to happen in the mean time.  First things first what do you think of the new blog design? I have wanted to make a change for a while but couldn't find what I was looking for. I wanted something that fits me and  my personality and shares what this blog is. I love the soft blush color and the fun little gold confetti pieces make is SO ME.







Okay so first things first how is it already MARCH! I feel like January and February flew by. I cannot believe we are here at the start of March. I want spring so badly. Being a Mid-West girl our winters can be soooooo loooong. I am yearning for some sunshine, warmer temps, and even the occasional spring rain shower. Today I want to share with my goals for this month. I am your typical first born type A perfectionist. I thrive on structure and list's. Setting up goals at the beginning of each month help me to stay on track!

March Goals

1. Read 1 new book: I just ordered 2 new books on amazon Once We Were Brothers  and The Orphans Tale .  I can't wait to dive into one of them this month. I love to read but haven't made the time recently. I want all of that to change this month and challenge myself to finish one of these 2 books.

2. Spring Clean: With the new season coming all I want to do it deep clean my house! Again being from the mid-west we are cooped up at home for what feels like the longest time!! I want to clean, de-clutter, and start fresh for the new season.

3. Eat Cleaner Foods:  About a week ago I had a come to Jesus moment. I have to start taking care of myself. My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and I need to treat it as such. So I am doing no sugar and no flour for 4 weeks. I have already started this and I can tell you the first week was pretty awful but I am starting to fell so good! I have more energy and I feel like I am starting to get into this new healthy living.

There you have it sweet friend, my goals for the month of March. I can't wait to check in and see what I can cross off and accomplish! Do you set monthly goals for yourself? let me know in the comments below.
