Hail to Trader Joe’s!
Because of that store I have been able to create healthy, incredibly delicious hot side dishes which I then reheat the next day for lunch.
But the best part is that they are SO EASY to make!
What makes them so easy, you ask?
Instiller Question:
Are fruits are OK to eat when trying to lose weight, since they can be high in sugar.
Before I can answer this question, let’s have a quick crash course in Sugar 101:
Last month I had the honor of being interviewed by Jamie Boggeln for her Fab Mom Summit.
The interview is short, sweet, but very impactful!
Hint: I spoke about one specific food group that is imperative for optimal health and how to ensure you eat enough of this certain food group.
I have to share this recipe with you. Why? Because my son LIVES for it. He literally gives me the biggest “YES!!!!” when I tell him that we are having it for dinner. And for me, there are few things more satisfying than having my children love the food I cook!
I also like this recipe because it has carrots in it, and as you know, I am a HUGE fan of including vegetables in your diet….LOTS OF EM!
I usually serve this with a side of broccoli, and I actually serve the meat on TOP of the broccoli for myself if I’m in a ‘not eating bread’ mode. (Or I’ll have half a bun with the meat and then have some more on top of the broccoli.)
For those of you who don’t know, I am obsessed with vegetables. Why? Because there is nothing nutritionally more beneficial for you to eat than vegetables. Sadly, many people aren’t even close to getting in the daily amount recommended for a healthy diet.
(By the way, I have put together an incredible info guide on how to get yourself out of an unhealthy eating rut and you better believe that vegetables play a big part! Click here if you would like to receive the guide.)
