<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I am going to be sharing easy healthier versions of game day treats. With a sports obsessed husband we are always having his buds over to watch some sort of a game. These are simple treats that take no time so you can be cheering on your team and not stuck in the kitchen. Most importantly they are all men approved! </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">1/2 cup- Plain Greek Yogurt</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. </div>

Zucchini Prep-</div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Rinse zucchini off. Cut the ends of the zucchini. Then proceed to cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Cut the halves lengthwise again. Then cut all pieces in half again. Once you have 8 long pieces cut them in half the opposite direction so you have 16 shorter pieces. Repeat on the remaining three zucchini. </div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Place all zucchini in the large plastic bag and lightly season with seasoning salt and pepper. Add the Greek yogurt and seal the bag. Mix all the ingredients so each zucchini piece is equally covered.</div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
In a medium sized bowl add Panko bread crumbs and generously season with the seasoning salt and pepper. With tongs remove some of the zucchini and place in the bowl. Make sure each piece is completely covered with bread crumb. Place on a cookie sheet that has a cooling rack placed inside of it (if you don't have a cooling rack just line cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with cooking oil). Repeat until all zucchini are covered in Panko and ready to put in the oven.</div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Place in the oven and let cook until they start to develop a golden brown color. Approximately 20 minutes. If you don't have a cooling rack pulling them out at 10 minutes and flipping them is suggested.</div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Best served with Light Ranch Dressing...but Jake is a ketchup man. So whatever floats your boat! </span></div>

Chicken, rice, and a fresh veg is my easy go to meal. I always have left overs. I could pack it for lunch, but I found a way to re purpose it without it feeling like yesterdays dinner. When I eat super clean I tend to crave naughty favorites....like Cafe Rio. I'm not trying to fool myself into thinking I can make anything healthy that mimics the taste of a smothered burrito. What I can do is make a healthy alternative that fulfills my cravings. This enchilada recipe is super easy and great for kids.</div>
<br />
<div style="color: #bf9000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Enchiladas</span></span></b> </div>
<div style="color: #bf9000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
6- Whole Wheat Tortillas </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
1 can- Green Chili Enchilada Sauce </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
1 can- Black Beans (drained and rinsed)</div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
2- Cooked Diced Chicken Breasts </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
2 cups- Cooked Brown Rice </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup- Shredded cheese </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Fresh Cilantro to taste</div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 8 x 8 pan pour about a forth of the sauce in the bottom. Place the first tortilla in the pan. Add 1/6th of the beans, chicken, brown rice, cilantro, and a splash of sauce. Fold tortilla ends and roll. Push the first rolled tortilla to the edge and continue assembling the next five. When finished pour the remaining sauce on top evenly and sprinkle cheese. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.</div>

A fun interactive way to prepare food is to provide multiple choices and let people put what they want on their plate.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I just used what I had in the house..</div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Avocado</div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Green Onion</div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Tomato </div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Spinach</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Spinach is a great alternative to ice berg. It gives the same affect but is pack with a lot more vitamins and nutrients! Try it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Cilantro Lime Greek Yogurt</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup- Plain Greek Yogurt</div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
1- Lime</div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
1 TBS- Cilantro</div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Salt to Taste</div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Combine yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, finely chopped cilantro, and salt. </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Simple as that! </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Using Greek Yogurt is a great alternative to sour cream. It's fat free and packed with protein! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">I apologize I don't have a picture of the enchiladas..I made them for Jake and his friend Greg and they were on the plate and gone before I could snap a shot. </span></span></div>

..is getting pretty big these days. He is a little over seven months and is weighing in at about 65 lbs. He has already clogged our vacuum with his fur, and learned how to jump over my parent's fence. He still loves torturing my mom's lil' Yorkie Peanut. This hyper Husky loves his freezing cold walks and lying outside in the snow. I love my companion he keeps me company while Jake is on shift, and always keeps me on my feet. He thinks he is human and tries to talk to you with his dorky howl. He is obsessed with his grandma and knows when I am talking to her on the phone. He goes nuts when he hears her voice. This smarty pants knows when I am getting ready for school and will hide the best he can in our small two bedroom condo. He thinks he can out smart me so he doesn't have to go in his kennel. His naughty habit of jumping and cuddling on the bed in the morning is something I can't bare to break.</div>

There are healthier options such as Luna, Kashi, Cliff and so on. I turned to those for a while but if they weren't on sale I couldn't afford to buy them. I came up with a better, healthier, CHEAPER option! When in doubt make it yourself...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Something I am most passionate is nutritional health. Throughout my childhood my mom made it a priority to eat dinner every night as a family. She cooked basically seven days a week. My greatest memories with my mom were watching and helping her prepare dinner. People ask me where I learned to cook so well... honestly I didn't know I was learning. I was just hanging with my mom. The rules of the table still stands as we are grown adults and rules I have carried on into my married life :</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
YOU EAT WHAT I MAKE YOU, OR YOU GO TO BED HUNGRY</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
NO PHONES</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
NO TV </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
As a young adults we argued these rules more than not. Many important, intellectual, and argumentative conversations were held around the dinner table. As a family they were the uninterrupted moments where we could bond. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
As I progress in my own life I have come to love cooking. Eating healthy is habit. Don't get me wrong I love a Cafe Rio salad or Training Table cheese fries, but I love them because they are a treat. Living on my own during my first year of college made me realize that I needed to fen for myself. That Christmas I asked my mom for one thing.. a cookbook of all of her recipes. I used it all the time and made it feel like a piece of home was with me. I wouldn't always have every ingredient so I would adapt, and change things. Now I have started to create my own healthy dishes.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
When you get married you both bring different experiences of life. Jake didn't exactly come with a knowledge of healthy eating, or a liking for vegetables. Being a firefighter he is at higher risk for certain health concerns like heart disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease. Not to mention all the other dangers of walking into a burning building. As his wife I would like to do whatever I can to help reduce these risks and keep him here and healthy as long as I possibly can. </div>

I have definitely had to get creative in the kitchen when it comes to veggies, and things that he "thinks" he doesn't like. If he doesn't like a certain food I try to prepare it in different ways. For example: carrots-he hates them raw, but will eat them steamed or roasted. Cauliflower.. is a no go, but if I steam it, puree it, and add it to mashed potatoes you can't even tell it's there. </div>

As a broke-newlywed-student I want to be able to inspire people that anyone can eat healthy. You don't need to shop at Whole Foods (even though it's heaven in there), you don't have to juice, and you don't need to be an expert in the kitchen.</div>

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut ends of spaghetti squash off and cut it long ways in half. Scrap out the insides with a spoon. Olive oil and salt and pepper the insides and place them cut side down on a cookie sheet. Place the squash in the oven for 40 minutes. Dice the onion. Defrost the spinach. Place spinach in a paper towel and squeeze to drain extra liquid.</div>

<div style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">
Add butter to a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once your skillet is hot add the onion. When the onion is translucent add spinach. Once spinach is warmed through add flour. Stir in flour for a minute or two. Add milk and continue stirring. Bring to a light boil while continuing to stir. Once it is at a boil turn in down to medium/ medium-low and keep stirring. The mixture should become thick. If after bringing it to a boil and turning down heat and it doesn't thicken up add a little bit more flour. If it is too thick you can add more milk. Fold the shredded cheese into the skillet. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Once your spaghetti squash is done scrap the insides with a fork and it should pull off the sides easily into shreds. Add the squash directly to the cheese mixture and stir together. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.</span> </div>

Yes, we did take a hiatus from the blog scene over the holidays, but now we are back on. Our lives got a little crazy with finals, work, the pooch, and preparing for our first holiday season together. Christmas break was exactly what we need to regain energy to take on what might be the hardest seven months of our young newlywed lives. Jake just started an intense paramedic program that is up to 40 hours of class time each week, not to mention still working with Unified Fire. I decided to take 18 credits this semester, but today I can see the light. In May I will be suited up to graduate from the University of Utah. After summer semester I will be completely finished with my bachelors degree and Jake will be a paramedic!!!! My mom always says, "You can pay the piper now, or you can pay the piper later." You could say we decided to pay him now. We hope that working hard and sacrificing this time will help shape our future and allow us to do the things we only dream about. I am so interested to see what happens after this is all over and where life will take us..Maybe to a new state? One can only hope! Who know where we will be a year from now! Cheers to a new adventure and a new year. </div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The title says it all..There is no better way to celebrate our two month anniversary then getting our pictures back. To some two months may seem small, but it has already been an adventure. Our wedding day was a dream. We had so much fun with our friends and family. Let's just say at the end of the night my eyelashes were off and my hair was down. I can't wait to see what more we have ahead of us...</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As usual Jake and I are super busy with school and work. Fortunately we got to take a break earlier this month for fall break and go to Island Park, ID. Oakley loved being at Grandma's house and going on long walks. The rest of the trip consisted of learning how to fly fish, razoring, and cooking with my mama. It was nice to have time off with my family and celebrate my Dad's birthday.</span></span></div>

We didn't do much for Halloween, because Jake was working fire over the weekend and Halloween landed on a school night. We just had my family and<a href="http://rosesaregreg.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> Greg</a> (Jake's BFF) over to our little condo. We watched the Jazz game and Hocus Pocus. On Halloween you have to eat chili & cornbread, eat way too much caramel corn, candy, and drink Wasatch's Pumpkin beer. It's just a must.</div>

in the process of building my portfolio, but well on my way. I love

Our honeymoon was something I'll never forget. If you're up for some adventure and beautiful scenery you NEED go on an Alaskan cruise. I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. It was a little cold at times but totally worth it. I miss now just thinking about it! One day we'll live there...if only in my dreams!</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> After a lot of thought and consideration Jake and I decided that Skagway was our favorite port. We road horses through the forest to where it met the ocean. The weather was the crisp fall air, the leaves were changing, and the clouds were kissing the benches of the mountains.

They told us if we wanted to see the most beautiful scenery we had to wake up at six in the morning to catch it. We ordered room service the night before to come and wake us up at 6:00 am sharp. We had our morning coffee out on the balcony and took pictures all morning! It was butt ass freezing cold!! We were in full sweats and coats, and we look down and this old man was in shorts and a tank! I don't know how he did it! Again, I don't think the pictures do it justice. Ahh I want to go back!! </span></span></span></div>

The couple that were our guides were seriously awesome. They were originally from the east coast and moved to Alaska for seasonal work. They had finished their degrees and decided to travel and have adventures together as seasonal guides in different places. This was Katie and Rowen last week of work and they were going to move to Hawaii and work through the winter. After that they didn't know what was next for them, but they were up for anything. I am so jealous. I think that it is so cool. I told Jake after we graduate and before we start a family we HAVE to do something like this, even if it's just for a summer.</div>

It's official, we're married!! It was more magical than I could have ever imagined! Everything we planned so hard for went off without a hitch. Morning massages with my favorite ladies. Getting ready in a hotel room FULL of hair, make-up, and photographers was so crazy/fun. Jake and I shared our vows looking out over a gorgeous view of colorful changing leaves at Snowbird. We both cried like babies. Obviously we had to get the perfect pictures so we hiked up a mountain..dress and all. Later, danced our brains out with the best friends and family. The next morning we headed to Seattle to jump on our cruise ship to ALASKA! Saying Alexis Rogers is still super weird, but I'm getting used to it. Unfortunately, our wedding video and photos will be a while. It is pure torture waiting for them. In the mean time..Stay tuned for pics from each port of our adventure the next couple of posts. </div>

The wedding is practically a day away, and I just can't believe it. All this hard work is finally going to pay off. I have been so insanely busy I can't even tell you. Floating in homework that I have been trying to finish before the wedding/honeymoon, pilates, running last minute errands, working, and packing. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
School has been a great distraction of getting to overwhelmed with wedding details. I am in my last year of my undergrad so, classes are getting intense. The thing is, I love my major. Everyday in class I learn something that contributes to my life. I am so passionate about health, and I want to inspire everyone around me to be as well. My Health Promotion professor always leaves class with a quote. Here is one that left me thinking...</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
"Are good health and good life the same thing?"</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Being healthy has such a huge impact on each individual's life. I wish everyone really understood the importance of eating right, exercising, and having a balance in all other aspects of life. Something I need to be better at is stress management. I laugh every time I think about it, because I always take on way more than I should. I found that no matter how busy I am I need to find a way to work out. It helps me to relieve stress and tension. My cousin Katie invited my mom and me to try her pilates studio Intermountain Pilates. Now, I have an addiction. I encourage you to find an area in your life that you are lacking in and push yourself to fill the void. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On Wednesday I got to go out for a shared belated birthday dinner with my hair besties. It was so fun to just take a few minutes..that turned into hours... to sit down and catch up with good friends. Although, the whole time I was hyperventilating thinking about the mess and homework that was waiting for me when I got home. I sure got some cute goodies from Kar, and Nicolette gave me a gift card to Nordys. We ate at Cheesecake Factory, which is right across the street from Nordstroms. I ran right over there and purchased my B-day goodies!</span><br />

About him, her, and a pup... </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
A few of my friends have been bugging me to start up a blog, so here ya go. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
HER... Alexis</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I'm busy girl juggling college, working at a hair salon, a new pup, and a soon to be husband. Life is nuts, but what can you do!? Currently attending my senior year of the University of Utah, obtaining a degree in Health and Promotions. I recently graduated from Paul Mitchell the school Salt Lake City, and now working in a cute little salon in Holladay called Hair Today. I would consider myself a foodie and kind of a nutritional freak. Don't get me wrong, I have guilty pleasures too. Objective of the blog is to share my crazy life, nutritional tips, homemade meals, hair fun, and events. Kinda just a cluster of things..which is basically what my day to day life consists of haha. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
HIM...Jake</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
a ruggedly handsome man who I'm lucky enough to call my future hubby. He just finished EMT and Fire Academy to become a fireman. Currently employed with Unified Fire Authority as a part time fireman. While testing with various other cities he is going to school to be a paramedic. His ideal day would be watching sports then heading over to Jordan Commons to get a "sammie" (aka sandwich) and catch a flick. He is my handyman and helps me with any little project. Since Jake and I started dating he has learned a new way of eating. He is always open to new foods he has never tried, even if they look questionable. I have come to peace with the fact I'll never be able to take away the chips and queso haha. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">PUP...Oakley</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">a crazy little Aluskie (Siberian Husky/ Alaskan Malamute). Only being 12 weeks old he has made a big impact on our little family. He is growing like a weed, and loves to chew on anything, is pooping outside (woot, woot), eats like a pig, and pisses off my mom's yorkie Peanut. </span>Alexis Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04650815099680867761noreply@blogger.com2
