Turkey lettuce cups. Fail.

This is another meal I made on Sunday that we just ate tonight. They came from the pratical paleo book-- here's the recipe. Chris really didn't like them... When the first thing your spouse says is "what IS that?"... it's generally not because they think it's delicious.



Honestly. I didn't think they were that good either... if you're looking for a good meat + salad, THIS is much better. I skip the purple cabbage situation... it's not that good. Honestly, just serve the meat on top of salad with some smoky almonds... and you're good to go. If you want to be the "hostess with the mostess", then you can chop up cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, avocado... and throw all of that on top. I suspect some roasted sweet potatoes would also be every bit of EPIC.

I literally use this meat recipe for everything... stuffed peppers, chili... you name it... this is what I use.


Taco Meat

1 lb grass fed ground beef

1 tbsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp chili powder

1/4 cup green salsa (I use trader joe's salsa verde)

Brown meat, add seasoning and salsa, stir and eat on a lettuce.


This is super easy-- awesome for a weeknight meal when you just need something quick...and it's easy to prepare ahead of time. You've got to eat it hot though-- otherwise the fat from the meat solidifies and it's not appetizing.
