Tasty Tuesday- Ash's Turkey Burger

Oh my Lordy let me tell you how yummy this recipe is and I just made it on a whim!

What you will need:

1 pound ground turkey

1/2 c. chopped onion

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 oz. chopped bell peppers

Mrs. Dash seasoning ( I used garlic & herb and the southwest chipotle)

All I did was put all those ingredients in a bowl and mixed it up with my hands. I used the seasoning to my likening. You can put in as little or as much as you want cause Mrs. Dash doesn't have any calories or sodium. I split the mixture into 4 oz. patties. Then I cooked them in a pan until cooked all the way through.

Roughly 290 calories for the patty. I decided to add mine to a bed of baby spinach and grape tomatoes, topped with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle of shredded cheese which brought my total calories to about 340 calories. Soo yummy and filling! Enjoy!

Fitness Friday- Squat Challenge Results

So some of you knew that I was doing a 30 day squat challenge... Well I finally completed the challenge and have my before and after. Still have a ways to go but holy cow there is a major difference. (Excuse my photography skills. My husband was sleeping and just decided to take them on my own.) I love SEEING my body transform! I really encourage people to take photos of them selves, although it may be gross or embarrassing at first, it is an amazing motivater and when you do start feeling discouraged you can take another photo to help you see that you really have transformed. Remember, the scale is only a small indicator of your success! How you feel, and how your clothes fit is the most important. Here is the challenge I did in case you want to do your own squat challenge! Enjoy! I know I did. I even may do it again! -Ash

Easy Chicken Salad

If you really want an easy dinner.. Nothing is easier than a chicken salad! Especially when Costco makes already cooked grilled chicken strips! I really hope I don't have to show or really tell you how to make this salad....but I'll tell u what I have on mine: 4 c. Baby spinach Less than 1 c. Iceberg lettuce 4 grape tomatoes 1/3 c. Cucumber 2 mini bell peppers 1 hard boiled egg 3oz of the chicken 265 calories w/o dressing...but here's a tip that I love!!!! Always have your dressing on the side, dip your fork in your dressing and then get a huge bite of veggies! It really does cut the dressing back to where you are only eating what's necessary! It's the only way I eat salad now! Let me know how you like it! Goodnight lovelies!
