No More Ground Beef and Lovin' the Turkey!

Dinner was so delicious!

We had turkey burgers with grilled pineapple and it was so yummy! That was my first time making grilled pineapple, y'all should try it sometime!

I'm so relieved that we don't ever have to buy ground beef anymore, we haven't since May. It took me forever to get used to eating turkey burgers with no sauce but I love it now. Luckily my hubby has always liked his burgers plain and dry so no more buying condiments in this house...yay!! Now I just have to work on cutting out the cheese because it's just extra calories that I don't need.

I do...I will tell you that I will still indulge on a little holiday food but there is a right way to do that without gaining all that extra weight. Don't wait until New Years to make a change, start now and get a jump start towards your weight loss new years resolution.

Now is the time to join me along with lots of others in the group who are committing to stick with this for 21 days. Having that extra accountability is HUGE, this is the reason why I host monthly Facebook Challenge Groups and December's group is almost full! Tag some friends that might want to do this with you for the extra support. Your health is seriously the BEST gift that you can give yourself. No more excuses. We can all spend a lot during this time of year but investing in your health is something you'll never regret.

Blueberry Maple Muffins

Can I just say that I'm making these again this week, I just absolutely LOVE this recipe!

Blueberry Maple Muffins

These were very easy to make and they tasted pretty good which I found surprising because they don't have that real sweet flavor like an original blueberry muffin from Starbucks! They turned out to be real moist on the inside and turned out perfectly done if you follow the instructions. It's nice being able to have a blueberry muffin without getting that guilty feeling afterwards lol.

Will I be making these again? Yes most definitely! Enjoy 

Here's the link to the recipe:

Healthy Recipes

I love cooking and trying new recipes especially if it's Pinterest inspired!  No really, go ahead and check out my Pinterest page and you'll see thousands of recipes that I've been wanting to try lol. However, my eating habits have changed and I no longer feel the urge to cook fatty recipes unless I make it for my hubby.  I am on a journey to a better me and you know what they say.....only 20% is from physical fitness and 80% is what you do in the kitchen!  I will tell you that I know that's true because no matter how hard I worked out, I wasn't loosing the weight UNTIL I changed my eating habits!

This page will contain all my healthy eating recipes that I try along with my feed back and my own photo of that recipe.  If I didn't come up with the recipe, I'll add the link of where I got it from so I can give credit to the creator.  If you have a healthy recipe that you'd like to share, than please contact me.

Enjoy!
