    @dkwi04 Do you know the carb count without the quinoa? My husband is diabetic so I need to know that for him to know how much insulin to take.

    I wonder if there is a way to share the recipe with you here. The quinoa was just extra

    Turkey lettuce wraps. So good and so filling. I added a yellow of brown rice mixed with black beans.

    If you use just the lettuce leaf, which I did, it is 1red and 1green. Was awesome as leftovers for lunch too!!

    Ok. Here is a snap shot of my recipe from the builder. For the record my raw chicken weighed at 1.3 pounds.

    I also used grade a dark Amber syrup

    Sorry for the multiple posts. I'm not sure why my phone is doing that.

    @dkwi04 Never ever apologize for the multiple posts! Sharing is great! Alas, the chicken dish has more sugars than we typically allow per entree. Maybe we could substitute sugar free maple syrup. Yes I know that compromises the whole "clean eating" thing that is part and parcel with 21 Day Fix but his diabetic diet is more important than my eating clean. Besides, it's not like I'm not losing weight with all my compromises. I guess I just am not the best example of how to do 21DF.

    I think whatever works for you and your family is great! I so would have done sugar free but I'm trying to be faithful to the clean eating. Actually, I've been trying to steer clear of too much sweet because I've developed a sweet tooth over the last few years that never existed. Im using the 21df to help with that :-)

    @dkwi04 it's rough trying to go sugar free in my house because I'm a professional cake decorator and I have to taste everything I bake lol! Luckily I'm not overly busy during the first round of this diet. I try to take the teeniest bite just to make sure everything is good. Before I used to nosh on cske scraps all day.

    One Pot Beef and Vegetable Dinner
    Serves 5
    1 Red and 1 Green each serving

    Ingredients:
    1 pound'ish of ground protein - I used lean beef
    1 cup (green container) of diced fresh tomato
    4 cups (green containers) of diced or shredded veggies (I used carrots, asparagus and pepper)
    salt and pepper to taste

    Brown the protein and drain, add 5 red containers of that back to the pan. then cook that with the veggies - not the tomato yet. I added the southwest spice to this :) Once that is soft add the tomato and cook down to make a "sauce". I actually added like 1/2-1 cup of water to deglaze the pan and make it more of a sauce.

    I served mine over quinoa and my husbands over rice (add a yellow for that)

    It was really good and the possiblies are endless!

    We had this last night: Mediterranean Beef Ragout

    http://www.bhg.com/recipe/beef/mediterranean-beef-ragout/

    Everything is 21DF approved (although we diced our own tomatoes and added a little extra broth to make up for the lack of "undrained" canned tomatoes).

    Sooooo good. The Gremolata is a must! It adds a little oomph to the flavors. I had mine over quinoa and my husband had his over brown rice. A winner!
