After a relaxing day of working out, reading and getting ready for the week, we made Sunday Night Dinner #2. It was great because it felt like a Sunday, but it was actually Monday!  Brady’s parents came over and we had a nice relaxing dinner!  It was a great way to end the nice, long (5 day!!) weekend!

I wanted to try something different, so I made an easy, cozy, filling dinner that is similar to Shepard’s pie. I really don’t like the name Shepard’s pie which came from the lamb that is often used in this dish. Since this dish does not contain any lamb or beef only 99% fat free ground turkey, I will call it….Winter Pie. That seems to fit since this is a dish you would most likely only eat in the winter. We also had salad and homemade applesauce!

Winter Pie

• 1 lb. of 99% fat free ground turkey (cooked and flavored with thyme)
• 1 can of corn
• 1 can of green beans
• 1 c. cauliflower
• 1 c. chopped carrots
• 1 can chicken broth
• 1 tbsp. flour (I tried whole wheat, but it doesn’t thicken the right way)
• 1 c. spinach and arugula
• 4 large potatoes (boiled and mashed)
• roasted garlic
• 1/4 c. Fage 0%
• garlic salt and pepper
• thyme to season meat

1. Cook meat and stir in veggies, broth and flour. Let simmer to thicken
2. Boil potatoes and mash with garlic and Fage.
3. Place cooked turkey/veggie mix in the bottom of a oven safe serving dish.
4. Cover veggies with arugula and spinach.
5. Top with mashed potatoes
6. Bake to keep hot at 350 for about 30 min. or until ready to eat.
7. Top with 2% cheddar if you would like!

It was pretty good.  I would maybe add some more flavor to the turkey next time.

For dessert:

• 3 large apples
• 1/2 c. cranberry, pineapple, orange relish
• 3/4 c. oats
• spray butter
• 1/3 c. almonds
• 1/4 c. oat bran

Slice apples and mix in fruit relish!  Cover with oats, almonds and oat bran and spray with butter!

🙂  Yum!  It tastes like and apple crisp with a tart kick!

Workout of the Day:

• 3.8 mile run on the treadmill
• 20 min. on the stair climber
• chest, bicep and tricep weights
• 20 min. of swimming

Overall, it was a great workout!  I had the time so I did more that usual it felt great.
