a burrito bowl made of ground Turkey and crisp, baked butternut squash, topped with avocado and chili flakes
Turkey & Butternut Burrito Bowl
August 16, 2019

This recipe is a twist on a burrito bowl that uses healthy carbs and healthy fats to help satisfy your craving for Mexican food or even noodle dishes without sacrificing flavor.  A fiesta bowl for your taste buds!   You can substitute the turkey with ground beef, bison or ground chicken.  You can also substitute the butternut squash with a yam or a sweet potato.  I like the squash because it stays a little crunchy.  Do not forget the lime it really brightens the dish and offsets the sweetness of the squash.

Tomatoes Stuffed with Ground Meat and Eggs
March 20, 2018

When you are meal prepping and you are tired of scramble eggs or an omelet for breakfast, turn to this recipe to make breakfast interesting again. You can easily multiply this recipe and control portions by weighing the protein in the tomato before adding the egg. Simply determine how much protein you need for each tomato account for 15-20 percent shrinkage after cooking. This recipe calls for bison and there is minimal shrinkage because of the low fat content in bison but there is still moisture or water that also shrinks your proteins after cooking. This is especially delicious in the summertime when the tomatoes are plentiful. You want to use round tomatoes not Romas for this recipe. The nutritional contents below are for bison but any ground meat would be delicious. I have even used ground turkey omitting the oregano and then added organic gluten free taco seasoning and it was really delicious. In addition you can add vegetables to the meat mixture or even add quinoa or rice if you need more carbohydrates.

Venison Zucchini Boats
January 23, 2018

This is a unique take on a traditional stuffed zucchini. You can also substitute any one pound of ground meat, if you do not like venison. You can even use ground boar. You can find both venison and boar at Sprout’s or other speciality butcher shops and grocery stores. In addition, this filling can be used with bell peppers if you do not like zucchini. To help keep you on track with portion control, weigh the protein filling by placing the hollowed out zucchini on the scale and hitting zero. Then fill boats to desired portion before placing them in the baking dish.
