| So good you won't even need fast food again! |
Okay so first things first, can we talk about how FANTASTIC this picture looks? I'm always so envious of these bloggers and picture takers of their food pictures! How do they make them look so great and every single one of mine look like I ran it over with my car before taking a picture? However, THIS one, this one I am proud of!
So let's get on with it! Let me introduce you to the flavor of all flavor, the most amazing thing you'll ever put in your mouth ;) aka this pineapple turkey burger paired with fries. Not just any fries though, potato free fries, these my fries my friends are actually a cut up jicama!
So what's a jicama exactly? Well, its a root vegetable that can be eaten either raw or cooked. For my purposes obviously I baked them. The great thing about them is they are low in calories but yet high in nutrients and fiber. For all my Paleo friends, this is a great alternative!
Did you also know pineapple is really good for bloated tummies? It also aids in digestion! Ladies we all know about that time of the month and how we feel about 1000lbs heavier. I will be keeping some pineapples on hand from now on!
OKAY so on to the good stuff! The recipes!
