Extra Lean Ground Turkey Fried Rice

Oh my goodness friends! I made a meal that I'm in love with and couldn't wait to share it with you. Last week I posted about my pre-made extra lean ground turkey meals. I ended up adding 1/3 cup of steamed brown rice to get some carbs in and then, to change it up, I decided to make it Asian and fry up an egg and onion in a tiny bit of peanut oil (a "good" fat) and then added in the pre-made meal. It is so good!

Here is a pic of the pre-made meals (before I added the steamed brown rice).

To make the meals:

Extra lean ground turkey (I buy 99% lean) - brown it with mushrooms, chopped onion, garlic, about 2 tablespoons of worchestershire sauce, low sodium soy sauce, and Dijon mustard

Steamed chopped veggies (I used zucchini, squash, and carrot)

Steamed brown rice

In each meal is about 3/4 cup of the meat, 3/4 cup to 1 cup veggies, 1/3 cup of rice.

To make the fried rice version:

Fry up some eggs in a tablespoon of peanut oil along with chopped onion (scallions would be perfect but I didn't have any). On medium-high heat, add in the rice, turkey mixture, and veggies. Let the rice get "fried" and keep stirring until it's all heated through.

For one meal, I added one or two eggs- this was for two meals.

Let me know if you try it!

40 Day Fat Loss Challenge

At the beginning of last year (2014), I challenged myself to get in shape for my first ever NPC bikini contest and reached that goal after 5 months of training (July 2014). Since then, I'd been pretty much slacking on the diet and workouts, but by October 2014, I was not liking how I felt physically when I had gotten used to being in great shape. My weight was creeping back up and my muscle was turning into fat. In November, I started back with my trainer and by December had started embracing my bikini meal plan again, but not nearly as strictly and not without lots of "cheats". It was the holidays after all. And I like to eat as much as the next person. Read more »

Time to Get Movin' Again // Cardio & Bike Riding

Whenever I've let exercise slip to the back burner, when I start back up, I like to add in several sessions of hard cardio to get my heart pumping again. This week, I've been doing 50 minutes at a time in the gym: 20 minutes on the treadmill at level 4 (a brisk walk), then 30 minutes on the stair climber at level 60-70. I make sure to bring my ipod or a magazine to keep me company for that amount of time. I also cover the clock on the machine so I'm not aware of how slowly the time passes and just check periodically. It feels so great when you're done and in the following days as you can feel your body responding, getting lighter and stronger. Last week, my 3 year-old son got a bigger bike with training wheels, which prompted me to bust out my bike. I haven't ridden in years! But as soon as I got back on, I remembered how much I like it. Now, I want to ride my bike everyday. Not to mention, it's great exercise and always a good idea to get out of your...

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

Are you in the mood for a hearty salad? I found this mediterranean chickpea salad recipe in Barefoot Contessa's latest cookbook, Foolproof and enjoyed it all last week! It's healthy, delicious, colorful, and very fast to assemble. Dice a couple of tomatoes, a cucumber, scallions, and add some chopped basil. Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas. For the dressing, you add lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil and whisk to combine. Toss it all together. Then add feta cheese. For a hearty accompaniment, I baked two pita bread slices at 350 for about 10 minutes. A touch of olive oil and they're good to go! I couldn't get enough of this salad. Hope you like it! * * * * *
