Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet

Remember I told you last week that I had made some new meals we loved? Well I didn't get a chance to get back on and tell you about this amazing one.  It's a skillet meal and who doesn't love the lack of dishes to be washed!

Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet - I'm in the minority on this in most instances, but bacon is not one of my favorite things to eat.  I can do it in moderation, but it is not I choose most of the time.  So this dinner was made with my family in mind - yep I'm that nice of a mom/wife 😍

The original recipe says to put it in a wrap or over lettuce, but I knew my family really wouldn't go for that, so I decided at the last minute to make some rotini noodles.  With that in mind I would make a slight modification.  I'll tell ya about that as we go through the recipe.  

The kids loved this meal so I'm sure I'll make it again because it was also super easy! Great for a weeknight when you don't have much time or you just don't really feel like cooking much!

Ingredients
  1. 1 lb lean ground turkey
  2. 4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
  3. 2 tsp brown spicy mustard
  4. 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  5. 1 tsp garlic powder
  6. 1/3 cup minced onions
  7. 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
  8. 3/4-1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  9. Sea salt & pepper, to taste
  10. 6 oz tomato sauce *optional if you are using noodles
Here's what you do:
  1. In a 12″ skillet, cook bacon until done to your liking. Remove and dice the bacon into small pieces.
  2. Brown ground turkey, breaking it up as it browns.
  3. When turkey is brown, add all of the ingredients and mix well.
  4. Cover and let simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Sprinkle cheese over meat, recover until melted.
  6. Serve over fresh lettuce, in a whole grain tortilla or over whole wheat noodles
If you are following 21 day fix containers
1 1/4 Red, 1/2 Green (plus more if you eat over greens!), 1/2 Blue

Some is better than none

So sometimes life happens and we get busy and things fall to the backburner. I haven't written in 11 days!! Yikes - we have a lot to catch up on! Since last time we have been out of town and played at a really cool playground that was developed for all kids - so kids with disabilities could have the same fun as a child without a disability. It was amazing and really struck my heart since I occasionally work with kids with disabilities. I only took one real picture unfortunately, the rest were on snap chat (terra227). It also gave me the thought that they need an adult sized playground. My SIL and I had fun playing but were too big for a lot of it!  Have you ever seen an adult playground, like with old school playground equipment meant for adults?? Someone should make one! I have also started a new program!! I am so excited and am loving this program. I have done it for 5 days so far and am already seeing amazing results!! It is an MMA style workout but they throw in strength...

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

As we sit on the plane in Florida getting ready to take off to head home, I'm already beginning to think about the coming weeks. I'm so excited to start the new Core de Force and dive into the meal plan for this program. I haven't gotten my book yet but I've heard this plan is different so I'm super excited!! I've also been reading a little bit about carb cycling. As I figure that out I'll keep you all updated too! I think it sounds great but I need to keep researching it for me and my fam. I feel like carbs are my biggest struggle so if I can find a plan where I can still eat them and not have my stomach blow up that would be amazing!!  For now I'm going to stick to the specific plan for Core de Force though. I wanted to share with you our homemade spaghetti sauce today. It's so easy to make and so good. The best part though is that you can freeze it for another time! Plus it's sugar free!! Ingredients 1½ pounds ground beef/turkey ...
