So, I get so tired of hearing people say they can't afford to eat healthy! GEESH! Okay now that I got that out of the way. . . . lol! So I have been doing tons or research on healthy eating habits. Comparing the prices of healthy vs. unhealthy. Recipes which can easily be substituted to be made a healthier choice! 

So I am starting a Sunday Savings Post! Every Sunday I will compare a healthy meal vs. the not so healthy choice. Talking recipes and prices!

 SO here we go!!!

This week it is

Turkey Burger and Fries vs Hamburger and Potato Chips

• Ground Turkey is cheaper then Ground beef! 1.99lb vs 2.99lb
• A 15 lb bag of potatoes is cheaper then a bag of potato chips!
• Ground Turkey has less fat and higher protein then Ground beef!

French Fries

The French Fries I make are simple! Russet potatoes cut and sliced into Fry sizes then placed on a cookie sheet. Spray lightly with Olive Oil. and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Then baked on a cookie sheet at 425 degrees. 10-15 minutes 

 

Turkey Burger

 Ingredients: 

Lean Ground Turkey

Green Onion

Italian Parsley

Worcestershire sauce

Mozzarella Cheese 1 slice for each burger (cut in quarters)

1 Lb of ground turkey will make 3-4 GOOD size burgers

For a LARGE Burger I do 6oz and for a Medium I do 4oz

I add  Green Onion, Italian Parsley and Worcestershire sauce  to taste!

Everyone is different! I personally love tons of green onions and Italian Parsley. Then I add just a couple splashes of Worcestershire Sauce.

Directions:

In a bowl, combine Ground Turkey, Green Onion, Italian parsley and Worcestershire sauce. Mix ingredients well.

Then separate out into serving sizes and roll in to a ball.

Take each ball and separate into 2 pieces 1 slightly larger then the other

Re roll each into ball then flatten each piece evenly. 

Place Cheese on larger half.

Then add smaller piece on top. Pinch edges together. 

Lightly roll together to hide the cheese and make it 1 piece again.

I bet you are wondering why I put the cheese inside the turkey! Well it is because it is amazing to bite into it and cheese comes gooing out! 

Oh and FYI Mozzarella cheese only has 50 Calories a slice compared to 110 Calories a slice in Cheddar Cheese!!!!

(Sorry if this is hard to follow, I know my directions skills are lacking !!)

 I use my George Foreman to cook my Turkey burgers but a BBQ works just as well. 

Using the George Foreman it only takes about 6 mins to cook!!! AMAZING!!!

 

When it is all done I wrap mine in a big piece of red or green leaf lettuce. 

However Ian likes his on a big fat burgerbun!!! LOL

Today is the Day!!!!

Yesterday I posted about mine and Ian's anniversary being today! Well little does he know it is full of surprises!!! Late Last night is when it all started an 11:00pm run to Albertsons to get some balloons and Ian's favorite Snicker Cake!!! I then dropped it off at his work, so he would see it this morning when he went in at 5:30! 

Then after making it home and getting my kids in bed, I started  on his edible arrangement!!! Cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes, oranges, white chocolate covered bananas, white and milk chocolate covered Strawberries, and milk chocolate covered apples! Yummy 

So he woke up to  a cute card on his night stand,  then this in the fridge with an I Love You! note attached.

The BEST part is he didn't take it to work (i thought he would to much on it all day) so now I get to enjoy it with him!!!! Yummy I can't wait!!!

Then when he got to work  he got his balloons and Snickers cake!!!

Then I am having lunch delivered to him right before he gets off work!!! Yummy SUSHI TIME!!!!

We will see if I can think of anything else to do before he gets home!!!

Maybe some brownies or something!!

Wow. . . Where has the time gone?

Tomorrow is mine and Ian's Anniversary.

4 years. . . 

Yes I know that isn't much to some people but it is a good   foundation for the next 60+ years! 

Now for those of you who know me are probably think WHAT!?!?!?! ONLY 4 YEARS!!!!!

And Reed is going to be  3 in a couple months! 

Yeah I know we did things a little out of order! Ian and I were only together 4 months when we found out I was pregnant with Reed. . .  . 

No,  I am not proud of it, but I am extremely proud that we have worked through the bad, laughed through the funny, and cried through the sad well and some of the happy memories. 

I know I couldn't be happier!!!!

We have made the best out of every situation that we have been given and have been blessed with two healthy wonderful boys!!!

What more can a girl ask for?
