There are some days when I just don’t know what to eat. Those are the days that I stand in front of the refrigerator with the door open, browsing through what’s in there. Be it cheese that got shoved into the back of the drawer and was now starting to mold, my husbands Hamburger Helper leftovers that I can’t eat anyways, or a multitude of other things that I just don’t know what to do with and have of which I can’t even have.
So what do I do? Find some low carb foods and put them together! When it happened this weekend, this is what I ended up with:
We will just call it the Breakfast Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger (BBAC for short – because that name is a bigger mouthful than the burger was). Compliments of my fridge and freezer and only 3 net carbs! Plus, it was SO filling, I could only eat 3/4 of it. Sometimes the mish-mash of things you throw together end up being the best and this was no exception.
So here’s what I used for my BBAC –
- Frozen Ballpark burger
- Crystal Farms sliced cheddar cheese
- Hormel Microwave bacon
- One Fried Egg (Runny yolk of course)
- Heinz mustard
- Hellmans Mayo
- Sliced Avocado
- Salt and pepper
Not bad considering I stood in front of the fridge for 10 minutes mentally going through every item to see what I can/can’t have and how to make a meal out of it.
Here was my nutrition for this:
As good as this was, it’s so much easier when I have my meals all planned out! This week I’m hoping to make sausage, peppers, and onion in the crockpot as well as butter chicken and green beans w/ mushrooms, plus avocado brownies for dessert. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
What are you meal plans for this week??
