Are you ready for some healthy recipes?? I hope so because they are here whether you like it or not! After a marathon of holiday face-stuffing, I really need to fuel my body with protein and greens.
Until I feel less like the Stay Puft marshmallow man, I’m going to be cutting sugar and carbs from my diet 6 days per week. Since I am a “foodie”, I can’t just eat dry chicken breast and steamed broccoli. I need delicious food that I will actually look forward to. So all this month, I am planning on giving you guys healthy recipes that are fit for a foodie!
We’ll begin with this low carb double bacon burger. The two pieces of grass-fed beef will fill you up, the savory bacon will satisfy your cravings, and the fried egg will keep it all nice and moist while adding a little extra protein. I serve it on a bed of spinach to help get my greens in. Now that’s my kind of healthy lunch!
Here’s to a fulfilling 2016 and to losing weight while eating bacon!

I was excited to make these but my parties wouldn’t hold and they all broke apart. Never had that happened to me. Too much egg?

Did you add eggs to the ground beef? They are cooked separately then added to the top of your patties.
