Meet Kathleen.
she really does know how to make being skinny look easy!
Miss Kathleen is no stranger to maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle. As a runner, dancer, fitness instructor and black belt in Karate, girlfriend knows a thing or two about staying in shape! And her fabulous blog reflects all that and more, sharing some of the most delicious recipes that will only make your waistline more lean.
One of the best tips she shares on her blog is her 80/20 rule and this is something I think every girl should commit to memory! Maintaining your body's optimal weight is based on 80% of what you eat and 20% of how you exercise. Of that 20%, you should be doing half weight-lifting and half cardio.
Seems simple, eh?
Kathleen's blog is full of her skinny tips and tricks and lucky for you I'm going to share one of my favorite recipes from her site! It's easy to make, delicious to eat and allows you to return for seconds without any additional guilt!
Perfection.
Here are your ingredients:
Recipe from Easy Skinny Life
Tilapia filets
Red skinned potatoes, chopped
Fresh broccoli
Brussels sprouts
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
Ground turmeric
Ground black pepper
Add olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter to a large pan on medium-high heat. Sear potatoes for several minutes, flipping often. Reduce heat to medium and add broccoli and brussels sprouts. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, turning several times. Please vegetables on a plate. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and sear the fish on each side on medium-high heat. Cook for several minutes until flaky. Do a quick trade: place fish on a plate, add the vegetables to the pan, and then top it of with the fish. Cook or several minutes, enjoy!

Gahhhh... the girl does look skinny! I am going to do the 80/20 rule in my life. So hard though. I love pizza!
Love the post! Skinny minnie!

Love the fact this is a tasty balanced meal. I often worry about fad diets and the whole 'carbs are the devil' theories but this sound like good, proper food. Plenty of veg, enough carbs to keep your body healthy and good protein. Flavour is there too and this definetely gets my thumbs up!
Thank your for introducing us to this lovely lady! I love the fact that she states your health is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. As a dietitian this statement drives my work and keeps me motivated to help those with their 80%.
This recipe is a little too loose for me, and would appreciate it if you could help. Could you please tell me how much tilapia you cooked? 1/2 pound? how many potatoes? Vegetables?? thank you. Tammy
Oh this looks delicious!!
Tammy, one serving for a woman is two 3oz-4oz tilapia filets and 4-5 small red potatoes chopped. I add a huge portion of broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Total is 530 calories as prepared in the recipe.
That evening, I cooked 1 1/2 servings of fish and potatoes in this dish -- 2 filets and vegetables (2/3 of it) for dinner and 1 filet and vegetables (1/3 of it) was boxed for lunch the next day!
