It's a good thing my FitBit is green! It saved me from a pinching! Ouch!
We did circuits in the Toning class again last night. They were awesome, as always. Today I'm sitting here, watching the weather channel, hoping it gets a little warmer and the sun comes out so I can run outside but it doesn't look good. Hello, treadmill, my old friend.
I'm going to make this chunky soup today because I have to use the ground turkey in the fridge! Expiration dates? Oops!
Chunky Soup My Way:
1 package ground turkey
1 onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 tea. minced garlic
1 can diced tomatoes
3 C chicken broth
1 bell pepper, diced
4 carrots, sliced
1 sweet potato, chopped
3 T tomato paste
1/2 tea. oregano
1/2 tea. chili powder
salt and pepper
Brown the meat. Add the onion, garlic and celery (if you remember). Transfer the meat to your soup pot with the remaining ingredients (the original said to use a saucepan....not sure what they mean by that, but I needed a big pot!). Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft (original recipe says 15 to 20 minutes. I think it took us longer than that).
GF Tips:
We had an event on Monday, and someone made delicious green chocolate chip mint cookies (YUM!). I made gluten free brownies from a mix (that was too dark chocolate for me - not the best I've ever had), gluten free cookies from a Full Circle mix (I added cinnamon, raisins and pecans, and they were really good "coffee cookies"), and rice krispy treats using Erewhon rice cereal. (I've gotten the gluten free Kellog's brand before, but I think Erewhon tastes more like the original!) Unfortunately, they didn't all get gobbled up, so we have a LOT of leftovers (I'm taking them to church tonight!) Gluten free doesn't necessarily mean healthy, but at least Steve had some things to choose from while everyone else was eating their coffee and cookies.
I'm always impressed with the Full Circle brand and we've had good luck with the Hodgson Mills bread mix, as well.
