notelaine's Journal, 28 December 2016

Made an excellent dinner last night. Put brown rice, onions, and garlic in the bottom of my fancy new electric pressure cooker, and topped it with a whole skinned chicken with paprika and lemons. Half hour later, had a fantastic dinner! This is going to be my new favorite kitchen tool. I usually don't like chicken (dry, rubbery, blech), but this was just falling apart and super moist.

One thing I always struggle with is cooking to meet my macros. I always have to tweak recipes and play around with the ingredients to try to get them right. So I've decided to make a website with recipes that I can categorize by macro ratio. It would be easier for me to navigate than the recipe section of this app, and I can share it with my gym buddies. After I get it up and going, I can share it on here too if anyone would be interested.

Also started back up with personal training sessions this morning. Plunked down the cash for 10 sessions, 2x a week. My plan is to continue crossfit 5x a week in the afternoons, and then strength training 3x a week in the mornings. And cycling when I want/feel stressed. My goal for the new year is to just become a beast, lol.

Dinner sounds good! Pressure cookers are great for fall-apart chicken that's moist too. I use mine mainly for stocks from bones but they're good for a quick curry or stew if you're short of time as well. Mine is a manual one for the stove top but it's never given me any problems. Happy cooking and have great fun with the training.

Awesome idea about the website, keep us looped in. I'm sure a lot of us are always looking for different ways to fit our macros. I ran across a very similar site where you can put in your RDI & Macros and it'll design a meal plan and if you subscribe to their site you can generate further meal plans and grocery lists, www.eatthismuch.com.
