Midday 4

For better or for worse, I managed to get lunch pretty much 'done' before leaving for church.  I had ground turkey that I made into patties (with a little grated shallot and garlic, chile powder, and cumin).  I also roasted quite a bit of sweet potato.  So, all I did when we got home was cook the patties, steam some broccoli (I ate more than what's pictured--didn't think about snapping a pic until I'd started eating) in the microwave, and heat up the sweet taters.

A good effort, except for that I really didn't love the turkey burger.  If I'm going to make them again, I need to add more to flavor it; and I would likely prefer ground chicken.  I've never been crazy about turkey.  There are some good recipes out there, but I was in a time crunch.  I'll be looking for better options.

Things I'm noticing:
We're sure as heck going through a lot of veg (yeah!).
I still crave stuff I shouldn't eat, but it's getting a little better.
I cook.  A lot.
My kitchen is often a complete disaster area
I'm tired of scraping dried, cooked egg off of my cast iron skillet.  (I re-seasoned it today, so maybe it will be better.  It also might just be time to invest in a decent non-stick skillet.  I've never had one.).
I struggle with hunger v. craving.  Running yesterday made it worse, I think.
