And so it begins! We start our Paleo challenge with week one of NO SUGAR. No sugar? No problem! Our friend No Sugar has visited us many times before. In fact we LOVE when No Sug' comes into town! No Sug' is a flirt and is full of compliments always telling me how rested I look, how productive I'm being, how fresh and clear my skin is and how slim I'm looking. Oh No Sug' stop, tee hee! Just stop it, (blush) you're too kind!
Week 1 guidelines: Do not eat sugars of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, Splenda, Stevia, molasses, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, any processed sugar, etc, you get the idea.
Mark Sisson has an excellent blog post I highly recommend reading which discusses why you should avoid sugars and explains the different types of sugars out there.
Good luck Sweet Cheekees and keep us updated!
Turkey meatloaf muffins
1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 cup salsa (I recommend using Trader Joes Salsa Athentica. It contains no sugar and is quite delicious!)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 zucchini shredded, about 1 cup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine the turkey, egg, salsa, red bell pepper, zucchini, onion, coconut flour and pepper. Mix well with hands until blended.
Line muffin pan with muffin cups. Fill cups with rounded handfuls of the meat mixture. I filled 12 muffin cups with this recipe.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Top with salsa.
Enjoy!
