This quick and easy pork recipe can be made in only 15 minutes.  Not only is it simple, it is also delicious!

Martha Stewart’s 15 minute Sauteed Pork Cutlets

INGREDIENTS

8 pork cutlets (3 ounces each)

1 teaspoon coarse salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (you can also use grape seed oil which is my oil of choice.)

Juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving

2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus Parmesan curls shaved with a vegetable peeler for garnish (about 1 ounce total)

Fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish Grainy mustard, for serving

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place pork cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper; using a meat mallet or a small, heavy skillet, pound to 1/8 inch thick. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add pork to pan, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. (If pan becomes dry, add more oil.) Transfer to a platter .
  3. Drizzle lemon juice over pork, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Garnish with Parmesan curls and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and mustard.
  4. Serve over couscous with green leafy salad .
  5. Enjoy!

Am I Enough?

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

Do you ever ask yourself the question “Am I enough?”

Am I good enough? Am I doing enough? Am I happy enough?  Is my house clean enough? Am I beautiful enough? Smart enough? Skinny enough?… The list can go on and on.

Quite often I give myself a hard time.  I expect near perfection from myself and get upset when I don’t reach it. I need to remind myself that all I can do is my best and if I am doing my best I am enough!

I am enough! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

When I fail, I am still loved. I am not perfect, but I am still precious.

I love to workout with weights! I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well!   You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger,try to do the a circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!

This time of year is so busy and I often feel as if I can’t get every thing done while still doing it all well.  I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need a little bit of extra encouragement.  When things get busy and my schedule is packed full and I feel like I can’t do it all, I try to remind myself that I can and I will!  If you need a bit of extra encouragement today here it is…You can and You will!

I Can and I Will

Do you remember the Jessica Smith 15-Minute Kettlebell Cardio Strength Workout I posted a few weeks ago?  How did you like that one?  Here is another great Kettlebell workout that is a bit more intense (just a warning, it is Jillian Michaels, so you know it is not going to be easy!)

I love Kettlebell workouts!  Since kettlebell workouts incorporate both strength and cardio, you can get a great total body workout in a short amount of time.  You will definitely be feeling this one tomorrow!  Such a great arm, leg and core workout!

Especially when doing Kettlebell movements remember to keep good proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!  You don’t even have to have an actual kettlebell weight, you can use a dumbbell too if you don’t own a kettlebell.
