Hey, Biggest HEALTHIEST Loser Gang - here we are, the end of Week Eight!
Pretty cool - four to go - and that's not LONG! Time to start thinking about the "home stretch run" and how to fine tune, step up, and put forth your very best effort.
Here is a great recipe from Corky Aiken - not playing BHL but still a supporter and watching all the great progress all of you are making along the way.
Scrambled Egg and Black Bean Burrito Filling Makes enough for 4 medium sized burritos
I am not sharing my sourdough tortilla recipe today, but it’s similar in a lot of ways to this recipe. As I was sharing this with my three year old, I made it quite mild. But you could easily add a bit more spice to this filling by adding just a bit of something like red pepper or cayenne pepper. Even better, you could serve this with a salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce. Oh, and the black beans discolors the eggs. If that bothers you, cook the eggs separate.
2 teaspoons ghee, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil 1/4 cup of chopped onion 1/4 red pepper, chopped 1 small clove of garlic 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cumin 1 1/2 cups of cooked black beans 3 eggs, lightly whisked
1-In a small saucepan, heat the ghee until. Add the onion and red pepper and lightly salt. Cook until the onion and red pepper are very soft and sweet. If they start to brown, turn down the heat. You want to mostly soften, not brown. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for another minute.
2-Add the black beans (you can add a bit more ghee or oil if needed), and cook until heated through. Then add the eggs. Scramble the eggs with the rest of the ingredients. I like to use a fork for this task. Salt to taste, and it’s done!
Now, when I make this one, I substitute egg whites for the eggs (I'd use 5-6 whites in place of the 3 whole eggs in the recipe).
A bit of a surprise that we didn't crest that mystical ONE TON (as in Singleton) mark last week - perhaps THIS WEEK? We do know many have gotten over the hump and are losing nicely again.
And for goodness sakes, we do hope and pray that you've all been out enjoying this fine weather we've been blessed with - one truly should take advantage of every day like today with outside fun and games and sweat and effort.
yours in health and possibilities,
