We are featuring one of our fabulous Momsanity Sisters, Karla Rodkey!  Karla is an inspirational stay-at-home mom who loves the Sisterhood’s quick workouts while her baby naps or plays!

All About Karla:

I am a mom of an adorable 9 month old girl and wife to an amazing guy! I quit my full time job a year ago to be a stay at home mom to raise our baby girl. It has been quite the adjustment! I have had a lot more time to try new recipes because I love to cook and bake.  My blog is www.runningoneagleswings.com; I recorded most of my healthy pregnancy and workouts there.

I am no stranger to Metabolic Effect.  I did ME workouts throughout my entire pregnancy and loved it! I was so excited when Momsanity was started to add the extra touch of faith to the community! I love the short at-home workouts that I can do during nap time or even with a baby looking on! Since September I have lost about 15 pounds thanks to Momsanity! I love the Sisterhood of Momsanity and the great community for support and encouragement.

Karla’s Favorite Recipe:  Turkey Chili

Karla’s Turkey Chili Recipe adapted from here. (http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2009/02/22/my-favorite-chili-recipe/) (makes 4-5 servings)

1 pkg (20oz) ground turkey (lean or extra lean)

1/2 onion diced

1-2 cloves garlic

1 TBSP coconut oil or olive oil

Seasoning:

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 TBSP chili powder

1 TBSP ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground allspice

1/2 tsp salt

1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

1 can fire-roasted chopped tomatoes

1 cup beef broth 1 cup water

1. Heat the oil and sautee onions until cooked. Add garlic. After 30 seconds add the meat. Cook the meat until done. 2. In a small bowl first put oregano and crush a bit with finger or spoon to release fragrances. Then add the rest of the seasonings. 3. Once meat is cooked, add the seasonings to the meat and stir stir stir! 4. Once the seasoning is mixed in, add the tomato paste and stir until mixed in – 1-2 mins. 5. Add the tomatoes, beef broth and water. Let it boil and then turn down to a simmer. You can add more broth/water if you want it more soup-ey. Simmer for 30 mins or longer. 6. Eat and enjoy!

Healthy ways to enjoy chili are with green beans or avocado! If you want more spice a bit of crushed red pepper on top when served will take it up a notch!
