Turnip Fries & Baby Burgers

1 TSP olive oil (1 healthy fat)

season to your preference with pepper, salt, and garlic powder

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix the olive oil and turnips in a bowl. Sprinkle seasonings evenly over the turnips. Spread out on baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes.

As you can see in the picture, I had baby greek and mexican burger with it (see recipe here: http://beatingleanandgreens.blogspot.com/2011/07/mexican-greek-burgers.html). I was a bit surprised because I actually liked the taste of the turnips.

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup cooked cauliflower (3 greens)
2 light laughing cow cheese wedges (1 healthy fat)
dash of salt
dash of pepper

Directions:
So, first I cooked fresh cauliflower a little longer so that they'd be softer to mix. Then I used my Ninja blender to make the rest. I put the cauliflower in and mixed it a little bit first to soften and pre-chop them. I then added the LC cheese wedges and the dashes of salt and pepper. Blending it, I periodically used a spatula to push the mix back down the sides. When it looks like mashed potatoes, then it's done.

Serving: 3 greens, 1 healthy fat, and about .5 condiment

All that needs to be added is one lean.
