Bison-Burger

Last weekend while grocery shopping my husband and I found some lean ground bison. I never had bison before so we bought some.
Yesterday we had a snow day here in South Carolina and they closed pretty much everything. It was nice because it gave us an extra day off :-) and at the same time it kind of was funny because there was no snow (coming from Canada!). We both felt for comfort food so we made Bison-Burgers and sweet potatoes.

Ingredients 

(makes 4 servings):

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3/4 cup finely chopped onions

1 big garlic clove mashed 

1/4 cup Egg Whites 

1/4 Cup Oats

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

12 oz lean ground Bison

Heat olive oil in a pan and cook onions until golden - set aside

In a bowl, mix together the egg whites, oats, sea salt and pepper

Add the onions and the bison. Mix everything well together and make burgers. 

I had mine topped with onions, tomatoes, lettuce and some fat free swiss cheese and on the side sweet potatoes. Yummy!!! ;-)

Enjoy!

Support

On Monday my husband had a day off but I had to work :-(. After work I got home and he made dinner for me (best husband every!!!). But he didn't just make me dinner he made me a clean dinner!

We had steamed broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, garlic chicken and sweet potatoes. Yummy!

I love that my husband supports me. He let's me do what makes me happy. I get criticized a lot from other people because they do not understand why I do what I do. Or they criticize because they can't do what I do and are unsure and or jealous.

Support is important and I am very grateful that I got it from my husband and my family! And everybody else that doesn't support me just makes me stronger and gives me that extra motivation!

Work HARD, dream BIG!!!

Weekend Fun & Monday Motivation

I had a relaxing weekend with one dinner out on Saturday (cheat meal :-)!). Saturday was my rest day so we just relaxed got groceries for the week and took our doggy for a few nice walks.

Saturday evening we went out for dinner and I had my weekly cheat meal. I had pasta (not pictured) and a chocolate cake. My husband was allowed to have a few bites lol

And then on Sunday I killed my second leg workout of the week with a friend and did my prep cooking. I made the usual! Sweet potatoes, a turkey chili (my husbands wish), overnight oats, boiled some eggs and baked some turkey muffins.

Week three of Ashley Horner's Program starts today and I feel great aside from my shoulder joint. I do eat a lot and feel "big" right now but hopefully I will see some good changes in the next few weeks so that it is worth it :-).

Happy Monday!
