Goulash oopsie!

Tonight I had a happy accident for dinner (which happens to be the best kind of accident 🙂    

I stumbled upon a dish very similar to one my mom used to make:  goulash!  I had planned on pasta with some steamed zucchini, but turns out the veggies I pulled out of the freezer had zucchini, corn, squash, onion, green pepper, and red pepper.  So I decided to throw the veggies in the red sauce and add some ground turkey.  The turkey and sauce were leftovers that I cooked up and froze sometime last week, so that made this dinner especially quick.  Threw it all on top of some carba nada.

That’s a TON of food!  Here’s the stats:  392 Calories, 50g Carbs, 7g fat, 34g protein, 8g Fiber.

Also decided to make a healthified hummus using my favorite new toy!  Here’s what I threw in the hummus:

  • 1 can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed, bean juice reserved)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • About ½ cup of the reserved bean juice
cue the breath mints

Really happy with how this turned out!  Next time I may replace some of the bean juice with water since it was a little on the salty side.

Here’s an idea for a quick/healthy dessert.  Pop a couple frozen strawberries in your food processor and pulse until fruit breaks down.  Result:  Sorbet!  Can’t wait to try this with banana!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
