This What I Ate Wednesday includes two of my favorite recipes!
The first is a recipe I make almost once a week. These Turkey Stuffed Peppers from skinnytaste.com are quick and easy to make, and they taste delicious too! Another plus - every recipe on Gina's website tells the amount of calories per serving, so it is helpful for me in keeping track of how many calories I'm eating each day! Click on the link above to check out the recipe - you won't be disappointed! Here are how mine turned out:
But since my pictures don't really do them justice, here is a photo from skinnytaste:
Since the hubs and I are now on a serious healthy lifestyle kick, I decided to pair the peppers with one of my favorite summer salads! This Spinach-Strawberry Salad is great as a side dish or by itself for a refreshing lunch! I don't have an official recipe but here's what I threw together:
Spinach-Strawberry Salad
(for one serving)
Two handfuls baby spinach
3-5 sliced strawberries
Small handful blueberries
Sprinkle of goat cheese
Sesame-Poppy Seed Dressing
(Note - this dressing is VERY sweet but goes really well with this salad)
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
1/4 Cup Distilled White Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Balsamic
Dash of Paprika
Other things I occasionally add to this salad: candied pecans or walnuts, toasted almonds, sliced kiwi
