Want to pop some food in the oven and pull out a hot meal?  Sounds amazing.  Here is a simple and easy oven meal that checks all of the macronutrient boxes for Peri/menopause.  Feel free to make extra to eat throughout the week.  

As the prep for this meal is all up-front, it is a great opportunity to fix a next-day crockpot, or meal-prep some healthful lunches for the week while the food is in the oven.  You will be well-stocked and ready for days to come.

Ingredients:

1 lb Chicken Tenders, thawed if previously frozen

1 Sweet Potato

2 C Brussels Sprouts

Olive Oil

Seasoning Blend – like Everything but the Bagel, Zatar, Mexican Spice Seasoning, Italian Seasoning, or your favorite Herb Seasoning blend

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Wash, peel, and cube the sweet potato.  Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil and 1 teaspoon of seasoning blend.  Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil or a silicone baking mat. 
3. Wash Brussels sprouts.  Slice them in half lengthwise.  Place sliced sprouts in a bowl and toss with olive oil and 1 teaspoon of seasoning blend.  Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil or a silicone baking mat. 
4. Arrange chicken tenders in an 8×8 glass baking dish that has been sprayed with olive oil or non-stick spray. Sprinkle chicken with your seasoning of choice.
5. Place Potatoes in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.  
6. After ten minutes, open the oven and give the potatoes a stir.  Add the baking sheet of Brussels sprouts and the dish of chicken.  Bake for 25 minutes.
7. Stir vegetables every ten minutes until they look softened and are browning at the edges, about 40 minutes total for the potatoes, 25 for the softer veggies. 
8. Remove everything from the oven and serve.

To make this a bowl:

• Dice the cooked chicken and serve the warm chicken and veggies over a bed of mixed greens.  
• Drizzle with dressing – Shake together – 1 part olive oil, 1 part Balsamic or Red Wine Vinegar, small dollop of dijon mustard, a sprinkle of Seasoning Blend used on the chicken and veggies.

** Feel free to swap in other veggies in lieu of Brussels sprouts or add additional veggies to roast like cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, or red onion.

If you are over being frustrated by your body, are tired of being tired, and feel like everything you do makes things worse rather than better, it is time to learn how to take care of your body NOW!

Let me help. 

If you are deep in the Perimenopause transition, you need to REWRITE YOUR SELF-CARE MANUAL with How to Powerup Peri/menopause: the Complete Guide 

Or 

If you are Perimenopausal or menopausal and feel like you are constantly struggling with inflammation, bloating, exhaustion, constipation, and sudden weight gain.  It is likely you suspect it is due to what you are eating, but don’t know what or how to change.  You need the Powerup and Reset Program.

In perimenopause and menopause our hormones are totally different, so our approach needs to be different too.

Best news is, the approach we need does NOT include:

• Punishing amounts of exercise
• Starvation
• Unrealistic goals that take you way out of your comfort zone.
• Fasting
• Keto

It DOES include:

• Feeding ourselves the BEST foods on a regular basis to assure out body it is fed and cared for.
• Editing our exercise to make it efficient and effective so we don’t waste time spinning our wheels.
• Learning to apply easy and strategic self-care to help our hormones settle down.

Have you tried and failed to change your health in the past?  Consider this:

1. Now is the time to take your health seriously.  What we do RIGHT NOW decides if we will spend our golden years sick and broken or thriving and enjoying life.  

2.  Just about EVERYTHING you read or see in Health Media is NOT designed for women in Perimenopause or menopause.  Our hormones are DIFFERENT than men and younger women.  Things that work for other people are likely to make things WORSE for you right now.  

3.  We cannot afford to waste time with-fast fix weight loss schemes that will likely cost us precious bone and muscle, cause us to gain belly fat, and can even cause us to become more at risk for heart attack and stroke.

• Help you feel better RIGHT NOW

• Increase or preserve bone and muscle, the key to aging well
• Keep our cortisol levels down
