Day 9: Turkey Burgers (Delux) with Sweet Potato Fries

Ok!  I know I've missed a couple days... between being busy and feeling guilty I just haven't been able to blog the last few days.  My menu has gotten a little bit off so I had to edit it... but that's ok, I left a few days open for wiggle room.

Day 6:  Leftover Night... Tuna with lightly cooked vegetables and brown rice


Day 7:  I cheated a bit... I went to an engagement party at Xanki... and well you can't go to Xanki and not eat.  The whole experience is about eating!  So I had chicken and veggies... but technically they were cooked in oil and with some soy sauce (not low sodium)  Woops!

However, since I cheated the day before I was suuuuper good on Day 8.
Day 8:
Breakfast: Meal Replacement Shake
Snack 1: Apple
Lunch:  Leftover from Day 5
Snack 2: Spinach Salad
Dinner: Winter Chicken Bake (One of the pre-made meals that was in the freezer... cooked in crockpot)

Today is Day 9
Menu:
Breakfast: 2 Over Medium Eggs with 1/2 of an Avocado
Snack 1: Fresh Fruit Salad
Lunch: Leftovers from Day 8
Snack 2: Carrots with home-made hummus
Dinner:  Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries

These burgers were one of my premade meals... I just froze them in individual bags so that they were ready to throw on the grill.

Burgers
Mix a pound of ground turkey with 1 T minced onion, 2 garlic cloves (minced), and 1 T soy sauce.  Separate into 4 patties.  

I started out cooking the fries because they were set to take 26 minutes.

As the fries were cooking I cut salad fixins and lettuce.

After about 10 minutes I put the burgers on the grill.  Cooking 10 minutes on each side (they needed a little extra time since they started out frozen).  They were so juicy and yummy!

I also chopped up an avocado and made a quick guacamole with a spoonful of salsa, some lime juice, a dash of garlic powder and onion powder.  

To assemble my burger I topped with 

Onion

 
Tomato --------------------->


















Guacamole
...and then I also fried an egg and put it on top :P I love fried eggs on my burgers! --------------->

VOILA!

It was pretty delish!

Tomorrow's dinner:  Chicken Fajitas (Pre-made Frozen Meal)

Day 4: Asian Chicken Stir Fry

Sooo... I had to switch up my pre-planned menu tonight.  For as organized and prepared as I was, I completely forgot to take my brother's birthday into account.  He requested that I make a stir fry with teriyaki chicken.  So, I obliged.  However, I made my own chicken a little differently.  But other than that we all ate the same thing and it was delicious!

Today's Menu:
Breakfast:  Veggie Omelet with leftover Turkey Bacon
Snack 1: Apple
Lunch: Spinach Salad with 2 hard boiled eggs
Snack 2: Carrots and Broccoli
Dinner: Below...

Asian Chicken Stir Fry (Advocare Cleanse or Max Phase Friendly)

Chicken:
Marinade in a ziplock bag with 2 Tablespoons of Liquid Amino Soy Sauce.  I only had one piece of chicken... I would recommend using 2 T per piece of chicken, or just until it is sufficiently covered for marinading.  Let marinade for at least 20 minutes.

Vegetables:
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
4 zucchinis, chopped
2 bunches broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1 large onion, sliced
Liquid Aminos Soy Sauce
1/2 t Ground Ginger
I also just happened to have 1/2 a bag of frozen peas and carrots that I threw in for extra color :P

In a large pot/wok spray with No fat/No calorie cooking spray.  On Medium-High heat sautee garlic and peppers for about 5 minutes or until tender.  Add zucchini and onion, cook for another 5 minutes adding just enough soy sauce to lightly coat the veggies so that they don't burn in the pan.  Add remaining veggies, cook for another 5 minutes.  Reduce heat to low.

Once veggies are started, put chicken on grill or sautee in a pan until white in the middle.

I also grilled some pineapple to add some sweetness.

Serve with brown rice!
