Titleless Tuesday

Yup, that's right....I'm not sure what to title this entry, so there you have it.

I guess I don't even know what to blog about today, except that I know people like to read this blog and I know they also like to know what I'm eating to achieve my goals.  One thing I'm struggling with a little bit lately is that meat....GOOD meat is expensive and I'm a cheap ass LOL, so I've been trying to be inventive with what I have in my freezer rather than just buy more.  For some reason we ended up with a few lbs of ground, which is odd because normally I don't buy ground turkey.  I'm a true carnivore and I love red meat.  However I had these couples lbs of turkey I didn't really know what to do with so on a lower budget week we got them used up. 

1 night we made a batch of sloppy joes.  They had brown sugar, but I REALLY tried to limit how much I used and also how much I ate....I pretty much failed at both attempts, but I survived.

1 night I whipped together some turkey burgers with things I already had in my fridge (onions, an egg, some chopped jalapenos, steak seasoning and some shredded cheese) and since I don't typically eat buns/bread, I enjoyed them with a fork and some veggies and/or fruit on the side and....YUM!

Last night I started out browning the turkey not knowing exactly what I was going to do with it and then I remembered the stop light peppers I had in the fridge that I got in my amazing $15 bag from the little market in town, so I sprinkled the ground turkey with some Tastefully Simple Fiesta Party Dip Seasoning and threw some Quinoa in a pot to boil.  Then I sliced a yellow onion and those beautiful peppers and dug out a jar of my mom's homemade hot salsa from the cupboard and......VOILA!  I made myself a healthy "chipotle" bowl.  You could also add FULL FAT sour cream and some cheese if you feel the desire too....maybe some guacamole?

I'm enjoying it for lunch as I type and it's YUMMY!  However, I also LOVE Mexican food.  Who am I kidding?  I just love food.  But only REAL food, not that over processed over "doctored" junk they CALL food.

ANYWHO....my lunchbag today??

A little chipotle bowl
1 cup of Strawberries
1 portion of the asparagus onion frittata
2 clementines
1 apple
Celery Sticks (to eat with natural PB)
Yoplait Greek Lime Yogurt

And that's that.  Hope everyone is enjoying this amazing weather to it's full potential.  The kids and I are sure trying between the grocery store trips, pharmacy trips, root canals, and daycare, work, etc.

Happy Tuesday!
