Hey Babes! I’m trying something a little different today. None of my pictures are crazy staged with alarms set for the perfect lighting in my kitchen… All of them were taken on my iPhone on snapchat. One thing I want to take out of my blog that I see in most of the ones I follow is the filter. Sometimes the overly perfect, never flawed pictures can be annoying. I am not perfect and I will never pretend to be. I want to keep it real and raw. TPB is a lifestyle blog and my life includes snapchat and Real Housewives. I do have a photographer or two I am working with because I want to give you high quality content along with pin-able pictures, but sometimes it’s nice to have a low-key and real view into what’s happening you know?
Dad is traveling for work so Mom and I flipped a quarter for cooking and who was on carpool duty. As it was my turn to cook and I went with my go-to all in one meal. I came up with the recipe one night when I was home alone and starving. I had just finished a killer session at the gym and I wanted to eat everything. I wanted a meal with veggies, protein, carbs and fats and I wanted it all one easy to eat bowl. I grabbed a bunch of random ingredients and it happened to be amazing.
What will you need?
basting oil
2 tablespoons of butter
himalayan pink salt
pepper
two onions
Garlic (to taste…personally I like lot. 4ish cloves)
2 pounds of organic ground turkey or chicken
6 cups of brown or white rice
2 bundles of asparagus
2 tablespoons of butter
I started with boiling water for the 3 bags of brown rice. (makes a total of 6 cups)
Next I chopped up 2 bunches of organic asparagus and threw them in a none stick pan on medium to low heat with a splash of basting oil, himalayan pink salt, pepper and half and onion.
Finally I took out two packages of Organic ground turkey meat and put that in a different (and much bigger) pan with all the same ingredients I used with the asparagus (basting oil, himalayan pink salt, pepper and half and onion.)
While all three things were cooking I chopped an onion and placed it in a little pan on low heat with the butter another splash of basting oil, a pinch of pepper and a tiny bit of salt.
After everything was finish cooking I put the rice and asparagus in with the chicken and mixed in the butter//basting oil combo. Lastly I added more pepper ( I love love love pepper) and a little pecorino romano cheese and some minced garlic.
Simple and delicious. It makes a TON which is perfect because I am a huge fan of planning ahead especially for lunch the next day or two… if my brothers don’t eat it all before then. Try it out! Switch up the veggies to add your favorite and let me know what you think!
