Meal of the Week - Grass Fed Burgers from Whole Foods



Regardless of how hard (or smart) you train the lions share of your body composition change occurs at the gutt level - similar to Garbage In/Garbage Out model used by computer programmers - what we put into our body determines how we turn out. At my fire station we try really hard to eat healthy. Every once in a while we have a meal that is scarey good - tonight was such a case - For protien we picked up grass fed beef hamburger patties from the new Whole Foods store in Fairfield. We also picked up some mushrooms, onions, baby spinach leaves, and Bing cherries. From Trader Joe's we picked up Quineoa, organic broccoli, and Thai Gyoza Potstickers. We cooked the burgers on the grill and prepared the rest on our stove. Tried somethign a little different by reverse wilting the baby spinach leaves by placing the onions we had sauted in olive oil on top of the plated spinach - then adding the burgers, then the mushrooms on top of both - and a little soy sauce on top. Worked great - crazy good - and the bing cherries brought it to another level. Definately worth trying.
