Good day!
Where did all the nice weather go??? It's not here!
For dinner last night we had Hummus Turkey Burgers. Yes, they taste as good as they sound ; ) I had some hummus in the fridge already and here's the recipe I used (but I used regular chickpeas, as we didn't have any sprouted at the time).
What you will need:
-Hummus of your choice
-Lean ground turkey meat
-Your favorite burger toppings
-Whole Wheat bread or buns
Directions:
-Mix together 1lb. raw ground turkey meat with 1/4 cup hummus
-Form mixture into 4 patties and season with your favorite seasonings. (I like to use Mrs. Dash's Garlic & Herb, onion powder, and some pepper)
-Cook on grill or skillet until done (We use our trusty George Foreman)
-Top with your favorite burger toppings
This burger is on 2 slices of toasted Ezekiel bread with sliced tomatoes, rice cheese, lettuce, red peppers, and low carb ketchup on it, served with my favorite ... Brussels!
For dessert, a creation of my husband's ... Warm Cacao Peanut Butter Apple
Ingredients:
-1 apple, chopped
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 1/2 teaspoons almond milk
-1 Tablespoon peanut butter or nut butter of your choice
-1/2 Tablespoon cacao powder
-1/2 Truvia packet
Directions:
-Put chopped apple in microwaveable safe bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon.
-Microwave a minute and a half
-Add almond milk, peanut butter, cacao powder, and sweetener, stir together and enjoy!
In other news, I've lately felt kind of like I'm in a workout slump, and yet lately I've been really wanting to workout more. However, I want to have a goal in mind so I can stay motivated and see results. So I've decided to set a goal to really tone myself up. So my wonderful husband is putting together a meal/workout plan for me and I'm very excited to get started!! My diet isn't changing much, basically just adding more carbs and protein. Why am I doing this?? Mostly, because it sounds like a fun challenge and I feel like a challenge!

May your Wednesday be filled with everything good! : )
