Happy Friday y’all! First off, we apologize for the lack of tasty recipes as we wrap up our surprise project! We’ve been boring all of our time and energy into making sure this project is perfect for you guys and we cannot wait to share it! In the meantime, bear with us and stay tuned for some exciting announcements!
On to more important matters, the CrossFit Open has come to a close! I’d like to say I was sad but in all truth, I’m glad it’s over! There were some great workouts this year but I’m very happy to get back to regular training and fully focusing on my next weightlifting meet. It’s in about a week and the nerves are starting to set in!! Lately I feel like my lifting is all over the place and I’ve been frustrated but am hoping it will all come together on the platform.
Now on to the really good stuff, the food! I was inspired for this dish after browsing numerous recipes that I could somehow “paleo-fy”. I love checking out Taste of Home or Pinterest for recipes I can put my own paleo twist on. The sauce is sweet and tangy and adds a perfect pop of flavor to the veggies and turkey. I love using lean ground turkey because it’s so easy to cook! I’m so excited for the spring weather and to start including more fresh veggies into my meals. For a list of fresh spring veggies, check out Stupid Easy Paleo’s site for a shopping list! I’m personally looking forward to all the greens! What are some of your favorite veggies? Let us know in the comments or come find us on Instagram @wholehealthhacks! Candice and I also both have Snapchat and love to share peeks into our daily routine and stuff were cooking up! Find us @candicemd and @ketokar ! I hope you guys enjoy these asian turkey lettuce wraps as much as I did!
