A Healthy Alternative to Tator Tot Hotdish - Cauliflower tots

Yesterday I was CRAVING Tator Tot Hot dish. It's one of my favorite meals. So, I decided to make my own version of this meal, but instead with a cheeseburger twist, and a WAY healthier version.

Today starts day one of my #Fit4Feb Challenge group. I would love to have you join me with an at home workout program, a meal guide to follow, and some superfood shakes! Send me an email at melissanielsen99@gmail.com if you are interested in joining the challenge! It is completely free to join, and you get to have ME as your FREE coach walking you through every step of your fitness program, but you do need to purchase a fitness program in order to participate and join the challenge.

The reason I LOVE the 21 day fix is because you can literally eat anything! There is no depriving yourself of the foods you love. Wine, Approved, Sushi, approved. And you even are able to replace any yellow container a couple times a week with any treat you are craving! Anyways, here is the recipe and video for the Cauliflower Tator Tot Hotdish.

1.5 lb ground turkey
1 medium onion
1 can diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

1/4 cup cilantro
Sea Salt to Taste

COCONUT OIL - The answer to EVERYTHING!

I don't know about you, but I recently just discovered the amazingness of coconut oil. It literally can be used for SO MUCH. Cooking, Skin, Hair. I use it as a makeup remover at night, and also as a deep conditioner for my hair. I keep one jar in my bathroom at all times!

I also have another jar in my kitchen for cooking. I use this instead of butter for all of my cooking. And, it can even be used in coffee and is great!

Lately I have been on a kick with coconut oil. Another thing I am in LOVE with as a replacement is sweet potatoes. I have been using this to replace regular potatoes and bread. I just recently made this breakfast, and instead of using bread I decided to slice up a sweet potato, and cook it in some coconut oil to use as a "bun" for my sandwich. This was probably THE best breakfast I have ever made or eaten in my own life! Not to mention, probably also one of the healthiest!

Here's the Recipe for my Sweet Potato Egg Sandwich:

Sweet potato slices (Cooked until soft on stove top in coconut oil)
Egg (Also cooked in coconut oil)
Wasabi Hummus
Pico De Gao
Cilantro


So Amazing! I also love making sweet potato buns for burgers!

If you are a fellow 21 day fixer, you know that sweet potatoes are at the top of the list for our yellow containers too! So its an over all WIN!
