Recipe: Low Carb, Low Fat General Tso’s Turkey
Gen Tso’s Ground Turkey
Ingredients:
3lbs ground turkey
2 red peppers (any color)
1 bag riced Cauliflower
Mushrooms (I used fresh baby Bella’s this time)
Olive oil
1/4 cup Braggs liquid aminos
1/2 cup rice vinegar (no sodium no sugar added)
1 spice packet of Gen Tsos chicken
Meat seasoning optional:
Cayenne pepper
Black pepper
Chipotle pepper
And I topped it with jalepeno pepper flakes
Directions:
Pour olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan a little extra is ok!
Brown the meat and season it then drain offf the excess oil into the original container and throw out! Don’t clog your sink drain!
Then add the remaining ingredients and stir thouroughly!
Cover and cook on 5 for 10mins
Add the jalepeno flakes garnish
Remove from heat and allow to cool a little and then enjoy! It’s that easy!
For the authentic Asian feel you can top with hot sauce and drizzle sirarcha mayo!
**Update** July 2nd this time they only had Broccoli and Cauliflower rice mix, which is great because I love both!
Recipe: Low carb, low fat, Taco Turkey Sola
This is a recipe given to me from female bodybuilder Women’s Physique competitor Caridad Sola!
Ingredients:
Olive oil
3lbs ground turkey
1 bag of Riced Cauliflower
2 red bell peppers (any color will do)
1 packet of 30% less taco seasoning
1 8oz can of tomato sauce
Optional:
Mushrooms
I added:
Cayenne pepper
Chipotle pepper
Black pepper
My store wanted to charge $5.95 for riced cauliflower and this bag of diced up was $2.99 so I went with the better buy!
You can go fresh mushrooms, I used can because they last longer and I will have them on hand. Make sure you buy the no sodium added!
Directions:
Chop up peppers and mushrooms if you have to and set aside.
Pour olive oil into a deep pan to cover the bottom, don’t worry if you pour too much the extra benefits will be good for you!
Brown the turkey meat and pour off the extra fat back into the original container. Don’t pour it down the drain! You will eventually clog it! I cooked it on a 5 heat
Add the remaining ingredients cook on high for 10mins and then turn to 2 and simmer for 20mins.
At first it will look like there isn’t enough liquid, but once you cook it, the juices from the pepper will release and add to the tomato sauce!
Serve and enjoy!
If you want to get shredded add this to your diet regimine and work your butt off in the gym!
**Update** 1 hr later
I made a second batch and it came out much better! The only thing I did different was brown the meat with the additional spices. I still waited to add the taco spice packet after the meat was browned and the other ingredients were added.
Spice it up!
Try it you will like it!
**Update** June 25th 2017
This is the riced Cauliflower
This is the final dish
The riced Cauliflower is more money in my store. The benefit is in the cook time!
10 mins on high and 5mins to simmer after the meat is brown because you don’t need the extra time to make the cauliflower bits to get soft. The riced Cauliflower cooks really fast. The extra 5 mins is to make sure the peppers are cooked and the juices released.
Check it out try it both ways see what you like best! You can also grab a whole head of Cauliflower and pulse it in a food processor/vitamix for the ultra money saver! If you have one.
**Update** July 2nd this time they only had Broccoli and Cauliflower rice mix, which is great because I love both!

Theobromine:
In modern medicine, theobromine is used as a vasodilator (a blood vessel widener), a diuretic (urination aid), and heart stimulant.
Theobromine increases urine production. Because of this diuretic effect, and its ability to dilate blood vessels, theobromine has been used to treat high blood pressure. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition notes that historic use of theobromine as a treatment for other circulatory problems including arteriosclerosis, certain vascular diseases, angina pectoris, and hypertension should be considered in future studies.
Following its discovery in the late 19th century, theobromine was put to use by 1916, when it was recommended by the publication Principles of Medical Treatment as a treatment for edema (excessive liquid in parts of the body), syphilitic angina attacks, and degenerative angina.
In the human body, theobromine levels are halved between 6–10 hours after consumption.
Possible future uses of theobromine in such fields as cancer prevention have been patented.[25]
Theobromine also shows promise in tooth decay prevention and has been shown in some studies to surpass the more traditional fluoride. Advantages include the ability to safely ingest it, obviating the “do not swallow” warnings on fluoride mouthwash.
**Note** That would explain why I have peed at least 25 times today and counting! I thought it was because I have drank a lot of water and I have been working out, but it is definitely this!
AMP Citrate:
Benefits of AMP Citrate
As mentioned earlier, AMP has the same basic structure to DMAA which is why its effects are parallel to DMAA. These include:
An increase in energy (especially when combined with caffeine)
Heightened mental focus
Improved metabolism
Increase in athletic performance

First off where’s the mint? I’m not talking about the mint green colored pieces in the bar; I’m talking about the flavor! It’s not there at all!! I originally thought it would be sickening sweet, but it’s the opposite! It also has the same dryer consistency as the Smores bar. I don’t know if that’s their new formula? But it’s not working for the mint chunk! The Smores is awesome and tastes great!
Stay away from this bar it’s nasty!

Recipe: Grilled Chicken Bacon and Avocado Salad
Prep: 15 minutes
Serves: 6-8 (Depends how you serve it. It’ll go farther on sandwiches.)
6 organic chicken breasts, grilled (organic chicken breasts typically are quite a bit smaller than the huge, non-organic because of the lack of hormones. So keep that in mind)
5-6 green onions, diced
1 package bacon
2 avocados, cubed
2-3 tablespoons organic or homemade mayo
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 400 and bake bacon on a cookie sheet until slightly crispy. When finished, transfer to a lined plate and blot excess grease. Finely chop.
-Grill the chicken (I used garlic, salt, pepper and onion. Pretty basic.) and let rest. Cube when cooled.
-Dice green onions and cube the avocado. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and add mayo. Start small and add more if you need to. I don’t put very much at all, as you can tell in the photo. Just enough to give it a little moisture. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sandwich buns or alone.
This is also really yummy leftovers, so it can be eaten at any temperature. Warm, cold or room temp.

As you know I like to take healthy Pinterest recipes and make them healthier!
I have a couple great tweaks!
1. bake the chicken you can add whatever spices to it to make you happy.
2. (Tweak) instead of bacon use turkey bacon. I used applewood farms
3. I diced up scallions and (tweak) I added fresh cilantro
4. Homemade Mayo or organic mayo is still mayo! You can dress up a turd it’s still a turd! (Tweak) I made a healthy dressing! Take a cup of plain greek yogurt add in powered ranch dressing.
I then added a dash of garlic powder and a dash of cayenne pepper for taste. Mix and add as needed to the recipe.
5. Cube up 2 avocados.
Mix everything up in a big bowl and use a big slotted spoon it’s much easier to mix that way!
Then I am going to make a healthy salad/spinach salad, add some vegetables and fresh mozzarella then top with the avocado chicken bacon salad mix and drizzle it with fig balsamic glaze.
Viola you are done and ready to enjoy with no guilt!
Stay tuned for the practical application!
My wife made sliders
I made a salad with mozzarella, I finished the ricotta Salata, I chopped up pickles, red pepper, used my ghost pepper hot sauce and drizzled it with the balsamic glaze.
It was delicious!!
Enjoy!
Remember; like always if you make one of my recipes send me an email with your practical application and pictures and I’ll post it! Feel free to comment also!

Product Review: Flag nor Fail clothing
NO SURRENDER. NO FAILURE. NO MASS PRODUCTION
From the very beginning, we have endeavored to provide our customers with limited hand printed items. Flag Nor Fail takes pride in our approach to the apparel world, an approach not seen from most clothing brands. Our goal is not to mindlessly pump out large quantities of clothing and rake in profits — our line means more to us than that. We want to create clothing that is unique; clothing that when you wear it, you KNOW it was made specifically by our hands. We want our customers to wear our apparel with pride, knowing they are among only a few people in the world to own these particular items.
There is a beauty to the printing process that must be appreciated. Every single print we create is unique, which is part of the reason our product is so special. From the amount of ink applied and laid on the item, to the registration of the art, to the placement on the item; all of these factors change slightly from shirt to shirt. The minor inconsistencies are the nature of the hand printing process. We take pride in not selling mass-produced, machine printed goods. Printing is a personal experience, and we devote our time and effort into creating each individual piece you purchase. We put work into the product before it ever gets to you.
As always, thank you for your loyalty and support of our brand. We hope that you continue to follow our lead and put in work, every day, in every aspect of your life.
WHAT DOES FLAG NOR FAIL MEAN?
FLAG NOR FAIL is a mindset. No surrender and no failure. Flag represents surrender, much like one would wave a white flag to admit defeat. No surrender, no failure.
INVENTORY AND AVAILABILITY
All items are hand-printed in house at the FNF Warehouse and may contain imperfections in the prints. The beauty of our process is that no two prints are identical. This is what makes FNF special. Due to the hand-printed nature and effort that goes into every item in the line, our standing inventory is very small. Please understand that returns and exchanges may be a longer process than we would like due to our limited quantities and sell-outs. Once most of the items sell-out they will not be reprinted, and will no longer be available.
DELIVERY AND SHIPPING
Worldwide flat rate shipping of $5!
Delivery takes 10–15 business days inside the States on average. We are not your normal internet store that gets it to you next day. Please keep this in mind when making your purchase!
On occasion we do not have the entire order printed and we have to print the shirt to order. In these cases the order may take slightly longer to get to you. If this happens, we will make every attempt to notify you of the issue.
Overseas orders take 3–6 weeks, and on rare occasions they may take a little longer when going through customs. Once the package leaves the US, we have no control over how your country handles the package. Also, please note that in some cases your local countries customs may charge you taxes and/or other fees. We are not responsible for those fees!
Flag Nor Fail is NOT responsible for stolen or lost packages and/or packages sent to the wrong address.
*Any Domestic order returned back to us for either having an insufficient address, wrong address, unclaimed, etc., Customer will have to pay for reshipment of package. We do not cover/reimburse for shipping costs in regards to a return/exchange.
**Any international order returned back to us for either having an insufficient address, wrong address, unclaimed, etc., Customer will have to pay for Express shipping.
FLAG NOR FAIL TOURS
We will be having “WORK HUSTLE KILL TOURS” throughout the next year. During these tours we will be hitting a new gym every day, and visiting land marks along the way. The entire tour will be filmed by our team and released later on DVD. Feel free to come train with us, eat with us, or just ask us questions. The best way to keep up on tour info is to follow us on Facebook. FLAG NOR FAIL will be giving out some free-bees along the way and selling LIMITED tour shirts that you can only get while we are on tour.
QUALITY AND WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
All garments are individually hand-printed. To ensure the quality and integrity of the garment, we suggest washing them on machine wash cold, with an initial water temp not exceeding 30°C or 65–80°F.
All garments and fabrics are blends, or pre-shrunk to ensure a true fit after washing. To preserve the print as well as possible it is suggested to wash the garment inside out ( with the printed side in ).
RETURNS AND EXCHANGES
We realize that you make choices in your buying process and we want you to be happy with your purchase. We understand that returns/exchanges can be necessary and that we must meet reasonable expectations when these situations arise. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your purchase please allow us to assist you with your order. We deal with returns on a per item basis. There are varying restocking and service fees. If you wish to make a return please contact us to discuss the matter first before sending back your items. We do not cover shipping costs for returns/exchanges.
No returns or exchanges after 30 days.
We do not accept items to be exchanged that were already previously exchanged.
Returns and Exchanges (outside the U.S.)
All sales are final outside the U.S
FIT AND SIZING
Currently FLAG NOR FAIL prints but does not produce / sew their own clothing. Before we place large orders to print we always order samples and make sure the sizing is as TRUE as possible. We are working on getting our own shirts produced / cut, but release of those shirts will not launch until mid 2013.
If you have specific sizing questions, do not hesitate to contact us, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please include your height / weight and build in the message. We will give our best suggestion.
