Burger and Fries: Healthified

May 5, 2010 by Julie 38 Comments

I owe the tastiness of tonight’s dinner to my favorite grill master:

Grillin' Machine

After work and an hour-long walk with Sadie, Ryan headed out to the backyard to grill up some chicken breasts for him and a big portobello mushroom cap for me.

That man is a grillin’ machine! He always gets it just right.

The Side

Before we left on our walk with Sadie, I prepared our yummy side.

Preppin' the Side

Turnip fries!

While we were on our walk, we let the fries bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, after spraying them with cooking spray and sprinkling them with salt, pepper and chili powder.

Turnip Fries

Of course we enjoyed a squirt of ketchup on the side because fries aren’t complete without it!

Burger ‘n’ Fries

Once my portobello “burger” was ready, I placed it on a honey wheat sandwich thin and topped it with lettuce and light Miracle whip.

Dinner

This was quite the healthy take on a typical burger and fries, huh?

    Mushroom burger on a sandwich thin is my favorite healthy burger! Sometimes I even have two 🙂

    I get too many mags: Health, Runners World, Yoga Journal, Women’s Health, Shape, Bon Appetit, Women’s Running, US Weekly, Fitness, Running Times and Food & Wine. There may be more…I’m addicted!

    I love your outfit!! I subscribe to Women’s Health, Cosmo, and Chatelaine it has good recipes!) I was getting Shape for years but decided to switch to Women’s Health for a bit, just for a change. I still buy it occasionally though, as well as Oxygen. I really like some of the workouts in both!

    does ryan work out much? haha. tell him it shows and he looks great. not to mention you are gorgeous as always!

    thanks for the promo code for shape. i JUST ordered it 🙂

    i used to subscribe to women’s health but i just canceled. it was getting redundant. i think subscribing is sooo worth it though because if you buy the magazine even like 2 time in the year, it pays for the subscription in itself.

    Indonesia’s main problem always comes down to culture and history as well as general living communities in Indonesia, apart from businesses that have a direct relationship and inter-related, as well as other business facilities in Indonesia. Given the Indonesian nation is known to have a good culture then this is also pushing for overall economic growth, and attract investors

      they are more bitter than a sweet potato – not nearly as sweet.

    Hi Julie! I’m new to your blog and just wanted to say thanks for the coupon code for Shape. I currently get Fitness (which I love) but for $3 you can’t go wrong with another health/fitness magazine.

    Your blog is great – keep up the good work!!
