Chorizo and Eggs with Heirloom Tomato Salsa

I don’t think I am a very self observant person…if that’s a thing.  I’m very observant of things around me, but not of myself.  In simple terms….I’m on day nine of the 21 Day Sugar Detox and I’m not sure what differences I see.

I was pretty tired the first week, and just trying to get used to cutting out dairy, some sugar, and alcohol.  Now that I’m on week 2 I’m feeling fine with my new eating habits just don’t think I see much changes.  I still have annoying breakouts on my chin and have been a little bit moody from time to time.  Maybe it’s just the time of the month 🙂

Anyways, what I do know is that this detox has made me cook some great new recipes!  Most of them have been from Diane’s 21 Day Sugar Detox book but I came up with this one all on my own!  It’s simple and has made a great dinner for the past few nights.  I think I need recipe naming tips though…Chorizo and Eggs with Heirloom Tomato Salsa…needs work.

Chorizo and Eggs with Heirloom Tomato Salsa

  • 1 lb Ground Chorizo
  • 2 Eggs
  • Organic Mini Heirloom Tomatoes
  • 1/2 Lime
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic
  • Cilantro

First prepare your heirloom tomato salsa.  Cut the tomatoes into fourths and throw in a bowl.  Once they are all cut up squeeze your lime over them.  Cut up your cilantro and add along with salt, pepper, and garlic to taste.

Now take your chorizo and put it in a pan over medium heat.  Cook for 7-10 minutes or until brown and cooked through.  Make two spots for your eggs and crack them into the pan.  I got this idea from Juli at PaleOMG.  Cook the eggs over easy.  Once the eggs are done scoop a serving of chorizo onto a plate with your eggs on top.  Add your salsa on top of the eggs.  I also added some avocado!

It may not look pretty, but it tastes very pretty!

Are you doing any type of detox or diet right now?  Are you seeing differences?

Easy Primal Salsa Burgers

I can’t take full credit for these primal salsa burgers.  My sister gave me the idea this summer when she told me about her salsa turkey or chicken burgers.  I decided to try them out with some real meat and on the grill.  Now they have become a go-to dinner / lunch.  I’ve really been enjoying bringing burgers to work for my lunch.  They’re easy to re-heat and filling!

Easy Primal Salsa Burgers

  • 1.5 llbs organic grass-fed beef sirloin
  • 1 cup of fresh salsa (mine was from Whole Foods)

Mix the beef and salsa together and form 5 patties.  Throw on the grill on medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes on one side and then flip.  Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes depending on your desired temperature.  Wah lah! Told you that was easy!

For my sides I cooked up some quinoa and roasted some brussels sprouts with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

This meal was a perfect one to follow the workout I did tonight.  I feel like my week doesn’t start until my Monday workout and dinner…it really helps kick me in to gear for the rest of the week.  

Tonight’s Workout

  • Ran 1 mile
  • Walked for 5 minutes
  • Biked for 5 minutes at a high resistance

Three Rounds for Time: Completed in 8:15

This WOD was a quick hitter but definitely kicked my butt.  My legs are going to be feeling pretty sore tomorrow!
