Day 20 meals


I wanted to share a few of the items I made today. As of right now, Mondays are my day to hang around the house and prepare things for the rest of the week. For lunch I cooked up a chicken breast, along with a cup of kale. I piled everything onto a plate along with salsa, avocado, sliced bell pepper, and a fried egg. YUM!


 Later on I decided I needed to come up with something that Chad could easily have for breakfast on days when he heads to work straight from CrossFit. So I decided that a hash would be good, and I just so happened to have ground turkey and lots of sweet potatoes. Here's what I used:

1 lb ground turkey
3 slices uncured bacon chopped
1/4 cup onions diced
3 cups sweet potatoes cubed
1/4 chicken stock
2 sage leaves chopped
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
S&P

I started by heating a skillet and adding the bacon and onions. Once the bacon was pretty well cooked, I deglazed the pan with chicken stock and added the sweet potatoes and spices. I ended up cooking the ground turkey in a separate pan because I wanted to use some of the sweet potatoes for tonight's dinner. Once the turkey was fully cooked I added it to the sweet potatoes and allowed everything to cook together for about 8 minutes.
I think this will be a great option for mornings, either to eat on its own or with a couple eggs.

For dinner I pulled out the big guns. I made bacon wrapped bison burgers with fresh jalepenos. I was so excited to get home from CrossFit tonight so that I could eat!!! I had mine on a bed on romaine with a half cup serving of sweet potatoes and diced cucumbers dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.

Carb count for the day is just under 90g :)
