Day 15: Burgers with Mixed Vegetables and Sweet Potato French Fries

This challenge is just flying by!  I have had to change my menu a little bit once again, my parents are going through their own little "challenges" not the 24-day kind but therefore, we have had a few different constrictions on the diet.

Menu:
Breakfast: Meal Replacement Shake
Snack 1: Apple
Lunch: 2 poached eggs with sliced tomatoes and turkey sausage
Snack 2: Carrots
Dinner: Burgers with Mixed Vegetables and Sweet Potato Fries

We made 6 burgers out of 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef.  Sprinkled a little sea salt and pepper along with some burger seasoning.  Once the burgers were on the grill and the Fries were in the oven, we sauteed some zucchini and onions.  I cooked some fried eggs to go on top of the burgers and served the burgers with fresh tomato slices, lettuce and whatever fixins anyone wanted!
Delish!

So messy to eat but so yummy!

Day 13 and 14: Mahi-Mahi Fish Tacos

This meal was a very versatile one... we even had enough to have leftovers the next night!  So this post is featuring two different dinners from one meal.  And the Mahi-Mahi was one of the items I bought waaaay ahead of time because it went on sale at Harris Teeter and I froze it until we were ready to use it.

Menu:
Breakfast:  Meal Replacement Shake
Snack 1:  Apple
Lunch: Leftover from Day 12
Snack 2:  Carrots
Dinner: Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos

Ingredients:

1 lb Mahi Mahi (or other white fish)
1 packet low-sodium (or homemade) taco seasoning
1 Onion, sliced
Taco Fixins (lettuce, salsa, rice, greek yogurt, cheese)

Coat fish with taco seasoning.  In a large pan, spray no fat, no calorie cooking spray on medium heat, place fish on seasoned side down.  Sprinkle seasoning on other side to coat.  Cook fish about 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, slice onions and sautee with remaining taco seasoning.
Fix tacos as you like!

Day 14 we just reheated the leftover fish and cooked some quinuoa with salsa and mixed vegetables!
