I broke from the norm of eating ONLY RAW FOODS today. Mike made Turkey Cutlets with Potatoes & Onions for lunch. I hadn’t eaten cutlets since before I made my change to Eating Raw Foods and it was good to eat this fresh, healthy meal. The meal I thought wasw healthy, because of the vegetables in the Cutlets and the Salad, and the turkey meat is high in Protein and a much better meat for me.
Turkey Cutlets w/Garlic
Ingredients:
4Onions
6Potatoes
1Pkg Ground Turkey
4Tbls Olive Oil
Tumeric
Paprika
Sea Salt
Pepper
Directions:
Boil Potatoes in water and peel skin. While Potatoes are boiling, peel & chop Onions and then combine package of ground Turkey Meat with Potatoes and Onions. Begin hand mixing the ingredients and add seasonings. Mold the ingredients in to flat, round patties and place into grill with Olive Oil and add Garlic Cloves and grill for 15 minutes or until meat is cooked.
I actually got the opportunity to participate in this lunch creation by molding the ingredients in to patties. It’s a good thing I got my Pilates workout this morning (Wednesday).
Olive Oil I Use
Balsamic Vinegar I Use
While the Turkey Cutlets were grilling, I decided to make a Garden Salad with an Oil & Vinegar Dressing to go along with the Cutlets. This Golden Balsamic Vinegar I’m using tastes so good paired with the Olive Oil, I don’t need any kind of seasoning in the Dressing. And I had a bag of Baby Green Lettuce that needed to be used… so there you go!
Ingredients:
1Bag of Baby Greens
Wednesday Green Salad
1Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Avocado
1Small Bunch of Broccoli
3Green Onions
1/2Can of Chick Peas
4Mushrooms
Directions:
Clean and Chop up all the Vegetables and add to washed lettuce and serve. Add Oil & Vinegar to taste.
Yesterday and today (Wednesday), I did pretty well with not eating sweets or junk… and it really feels good to eat fresh and raw. But I can’t say that was true for dinner time.
Onion, Peppers, Zucchini
I got my Garden Green Salad out for dinner and warmed up the Grilled Onions, Peppers & Zucchini I made Sunday and ate that for dinner. I added the Chick Peas to the Salad, because I realized I had the open can in the refrigerator. A great meal, filling and I didn’t crave anything for a while. It may have been because I had some Hummus and Sangek Bread afterwards.
But as the night progressed… while we were watching Wednesday Night Comedy on ABC, I wanted a Chocolate Dove Bar. That’s 260 calories of useless sugar and chemicals! I don’t know why I can’t keep my hands off this stuff? It’s not helpfull that Mike goes out and buys it either.!
