Sweet Potato Sliders

Ingredients:
Sweet Potato
eggs
Bell pepper
spinach

Directions:

1. Wrap a sweet potato with a wet paper towel & cook it in the microwave for 5-6 min. You want it easy to cut through but not fully cooked.
2. Slice the sweet potatoes to your preferred thickness. The thinner they are, the firmer they will be.
3. Coat a pan with olive oil and place over medium heat.
4. Cook the sweet potato & pepper slices in the same pan. The sweet potatoes will be done when they have slightly golden marks on them (top & bottom). Cook the peppers until soft.
5. Once done, place them on a paper towel to absorb some of the oil.
6. In another pan fry 2 eggs to your liking (a little yolk is SO good).
7. Once the eggs, sweet potatoes, and peppers are done… construction begins.
8. DON’T forget the spinach!
9. ENJOY!

Stuffed Bell Peppers

This recipe is pretty simple & to the point. It’s an awesome dinner option because it’s high protein, low carb.

The done product on the bottom left is paleo friendly (no rice), but my girlfriend is not a paleo head so she gets the brown rice (bottom right).

Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken
2 Bell peppers
Onion powder
Garlic powder
3 asparagus spears
Sweet potato

1) Chop asparagus into small pieces (about size of the tip of an eraser)

2) Mince about 1/3 cup sweet potato

3) Combine 1 lb ground chicken in bowl with 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. garlic powder, chopped asparagus, 1/3 cup minced sweet potato.

4) Mix together well in bowl

5) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

6) Place a frying pan over medium heat, coat the pan with olive oil, and cook the mixed ingredients until the chicken just about done (it will cook the rest of the way in the oven).

7) Cut the tops off the peppers & be sure to get the seeds out.
(I cut the stem off and place the top back on to seal in the moisture)

8) Stuff the peppers with the mixture and place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until peppers seem soft.

Serve & enjoy!

Side note:
There are a few misinformed people out there on low fat diets that avoid avocado unaware that avocados contain monounsaturated fats or “GOOD FATS”
These “GOOD FATS” help to speed up your basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Basically, it helps you burn calories while you’re doing NOTHING! Get on this if you haven’t already.
