Men and women do not share similar ideas when it comes to romance. A woman’s idea of romance involves dressing up in a pair of sexy heels and dining on a roof top overlooking the city of Paris.

Just kidding, we’re not that bad but close enough.

Men are truly simple creatures who are satisfied with the smallest things. According to many men’s magazines, a home cooked meal and a night of cuddling on the couch is more romantic and satisfying than a fancy night out. 

Here’s a great recipe that will spark romance for both you and your partner!

Ingredients:

• 1 Yellow onion
• Ground Turkey pack
• Some Mushrooms
• 1 Red Sweet pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup Natural ketchup
• 1/4 cup Honey Mustard
• Salt n Peppa
• 2 Whole grain rolls
• 2 Sweet potatoes

Preparation:

First, turn the oven on 375 degrees to get it warmed up. You’ll need to baking trays. One for the burgers and the other for the sweet potatoes.

BURGERS: Cut up onions, mushrooms, sweet pepper and throw in bowl. Mix in the ground turkey meat, 2 eggs, ketchup, mustard and salt n peppa. Use your hands and mix the concoction until all ingredients are well blended. Create your patties and place them on your baking tray. Make bigger ones for your love, and portion control ones for you. Remember, you’re still on your healthy program!

SWEET POTATO FRIES: No you will not be frying these.. You will be baking them. Cut up your sweet potatoes into your desired strips. Season them and place in the 2nd baking tray.

Place the two trays in the oven, one on top of the other. 15 minutes later, switch the trays from top to bottom and vice versa. Total cooking time should be around 30 minutes, but depending on the thickness of your patties, you may need to watch it.

Hint: If clear juices come out of your burger when you poke them, it means they are ready to go!

Serve the turkey burgers on whole grain rolls and dress them up with lettuce, tomatos and whatever floats your boat. Place a few sweet potato fries on the side and enjoy your romantic evening on the couch.

Ladies! No Chick flicks tonight! Pretend to be cool and enjoy an action-packed thriller instead.

Enjoy your dinner and let me know how it goes!

WARNING: This recipe is too easy!

Ingredients:

• 1 Whole Chicken
• 1 yellow onion
• few red potatoes
• few stalks of celery
• a bunch of whole baby bella mushrooms
• a bunch of baby carrots
• a bunch of raw spinach
• cut up a bunch of summer zucchini and squash
• dashes of Italian seasoning

Preparation Instructions:

Clean the chicken, Chop up your ingredients and throw them all in a pot. You may also stuff some of your veggies in the chicken to enhance the meat’s flavor and create more room in the pot.

After all is in place, toss in those seasonings. I love me some Italian seasoning and maybe a low sodium bouillon cube. Feel free to get funky with it after you have attempted the dish a few times.

Pour in some water till it reaches an inch away from the top. Cover and slow cook in low for a few hours.  

Compliment this Chicken Soup with some whole grain rolls and a fresh crisp salad.

I can’t wait to hear how your Chicken Soup turns out!
