Tonight’s workout plan brought an hour long easy run along the river. It was cool out which was a nice relief to the heat of yesterday. I was tired and a little sore from all the plyometrics yesterday, so an easy run felt good on the legs. After the run I had limited energy to make dinner, but still wanted a comforting meal.
Tonight’s challenge: Dinner in 20 minutes or less: Here’s what it brought:
I started w/ 98% lean grass fed ground beef burgers…and added:
Skillet Baby Potatoes:
1/2 Medium Onion
5 baby red potatoes
1/2 sweet potato
7 Mushrooms
5 brussel sprouts
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp Coconut Oil
– Put baby potatoes and 1/2 sweet potato in microwave for 3.5 minutes (this is cheating, I know, but desperate times call for desperate measures).
– Quarter baby potatoes, slice sweet potatoes and halve brussel sprouts.
– Sautee onion, garlic and mushrooms with coconut oil for a couple minutes then add all ingredients stirring frequently for the next 5 minutes.
– Salt & Pepper to taste
Tomato Cucumber Avocado Salad
2 medium tomatoes
2 medium cucumbers
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup chopped parsley
olive oil & balsamic vinegar
Chop tomatoes, slice cucumbers and put in bowl. Add sliced avocado and 1/2 cup parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, salt & pepper to taste. Viola – 5 minutes max.
Parsley is an excellent addition to salads. Not only is it packed with vitamin C and minerals, it also helps ease water retention. Plus, it’s strong taste pairs nicely with milder vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers.Who said cooking healthy had to be complicated?
