Make your food and fitness SIMPLE! There is no reason to create a fancy meal for dinner every single night. There is no reason to do crazy workouts you don't enjoy every day of the week. Plan ahead to make your life simple by scheduling one or two weeknights to be "one pan" meals, and while it's in the oven, get in a quick sweat! Don't know what to do? No worries. I've got you covered!
I have provided a sneak peek into what my workouts look like in my Fit Foodies Subscription. Yep! You get to try out a brand new core workout before it's even released. Also, I've provided the go-to One Pan Chicken Dinner recipe that never disappoints. Meals like this never go out of style because it covers all the bases: macros, kid-friendly (mostly), and tasty!
One Pan Chicken Dinner
(serves 2-3)
3 chicken thighs (bone out)
3-4 medium red potatoes quartered
1/2 yellow onion (chopped)
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tbsp lemon juice
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp garlic (minced)
1-2 tbsp Mrs Dash Table Blend Seasoning
Preheat oven to 375. Coat chicken thighs with 1-2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp garlic, and 1 tbsp seasoning. Toss broccoli, potatoes, and onion with 1-2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp garlic, and 1 tbsp seasoning. Place chicken on one side of the pan and the vegetables on the opposite side. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until temperature reads 165 degrees for chicken and potatoes are lightly browned (flip chicken and toss vegetables halfway through).
As soon as you set the timer for this meal to cook, run to wherever you have space and do this quick core workout. It's only 10 minutes of exercise. You can do it! The best part is you don't even have to time yourself with my Core Workout Video; however, if you prefer to do your own thing, the workout is listed below for you.

Quick nutrition knowledge: Broccoli is high in Vitamin C and E (these are antioxidants, which can prevent or slow cell damage)!
