Eating Healthy on a Budget!

Last night, I found myself a little rumbly' in the tumbly' and craving something healthy yet quick. Of course I thought "ha, Maxann, you know that's an oxymoron right?"

Then I snapped out of it and jumped to my feet with great angst, "I CAN DO THIS!"
*Cue the dramatic batman fight theme music*
I tore through my almost barren fridge (That's what you come to when your family has been out of town for nearly a month) and to no avail, I was almost reaching for the jar of peanut butter and a spoon. But ALAS! Plan B is never that far from thought!

 I raced down the stairs to the extra freezer (Ok, I'll admit, I fell down the stairs *Cut dramatic batman fight theme music*) and opened the door to find a bag of frozen brussel sprouts, which happen to be my favorite vegetable, and some pre-patted turkey burgers. *Cue Hallelujah music*

So with a little creativity and a stove+oven, I came out with this for dinner:

Turkey Burger on top of a bed of arugula and sliced Roma tomatoes alongside oven-roasted sesame garlic Brussels sprouts.  (Total calories 350-375)

So content (and full!) with my dinner choice, I settled in for the evening with the latest issue of Self
(But not before eyeing a 5-minute chocolate mug cake recipe. You can find the recipe HERE and to make it healthy healthier, use truvia instead of sugar and skim milk instead of whole.) 

But hey, your dinner was healthy, so take on dessert with a spoon and a clear conscious.
