Mushroom & Onion Sliders with Aioli Sauce

Every couple of weeks, I crave a juicy burger. Usually, if ordering one at a restaurant, I can only get through about half, because it's so much food with the bun. Sometimes I order the burger without the fun, and just eat it with a fork. Do you do that too?

The other night, I made a sliders (just smaller burgers) and topped them with sautéed onions and mushrooms with a bit of aioli sauce. We ate it with a side of spinach too.

Sliders

To make the sliders, I used about one pound of lean grass fed beef and portioned them into 5 patties. I seasoned them with a little low sodium soy sauce and cooked them in a grill pan on medium high for about 4-5 minutes per side until medium.

Onions & Mushrooms

I cut the onions and mushrooms into small dice and chopped a few cloves of garlic. Sautee the whole thing in a couple tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Spinach

I used a giant bag of spinach and sautéed it in a pot with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and garlic. The spinach wilts down so don't be worried it seeming like too much.

Aioli

I made aioli by just combining low-fat mayo with dijon mustard and garlic. Since it was just for two people, I added about 1/8 cup each of the mayo and mustard and one garlic clove. You typically add a little lemon juice, but I didn't have any.

*I always use a very light hand when seasoning with salt. I think it's better to salt your food at the table because you end up using less and tasting it more.

Asian Salmon

Like anyone, I get bored of eating the same meals all the time and look for ways to add flavor to meals, while still keeping them healthy. Right now, I'm hooked on this Asian Salmon dish that I've made several times now. If you try it, please let me know what you think. The recipe below is for one meal, so make more marinade if you're feeding your whole family. Read more »

Healthy Afternoon Snack -Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt

Hi friends! I'm definitely back in the workout/eat healthy grind, training with my trainer 3 times a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week. It feels good to be back to it and I'm already noticing my jeans fitting better again, but being back on my meal plan where I eat every 3-4 hours is where I feel the most benefit. If you're like a lot of women, you might actually skip meals (and I'm guilty of that too!) but eating consistently throughout the day keeps my energy level constant and there's no energy dip mid-afternoon. If I'm in a pinch and can't eat a whole meal (or I'm just not hungry enough) around 3:00 p.m. (the time I'm typically heading out the door to pick up my son from school), I'll grab a Greek yogurt because it's delicious, low calorie, and full of protein. I was asked by Yoplait to try their Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt , and since it's something I eat anyway, was happy to try their brand and flavors. I didn&

40-Day Fat Loss Challenge (Day 14 Update)

It's time to check in and update my progress for the 40-Day Fat Loss Challenge I entered at my gym. For my body fat percentage, I'll use my trainer's caliper measure since I won't have access to the machine until the 40 days is up. The machine measured about the same as my trainer anyway. My goal is to lose at least 1% body fat each week so that at the end of the 40 days (nearly 6 weeks), I'll have gone from 24% down to 17%. I'm on track for that now, but would love to get closer to 15%. PROGRESS Day 1: 24% body fat (112.4 pounds) Day 7: 22.4% body fat (110 pounds) Day 14: 21% body fat (109.4 pounds) (These numbers reflect what I weigh when I weigh-in at the gym mid-morning. My weight below I take first thing in the morning when I wake up, so it's slightly lower.) Below is a picture of where I'm at as of Day 13. I didn't take a good "Day 1" picture, so the "start" is from December, but it's a good representation o
