Babies, Burgers and Barbells

Well, I made it through my first week as a stay-at-home dad!

Despite the trials and tribulations of daily life with our 9 month old daughter, I must admit I enjoy it more than I did working at my regular job, which I am currently laid off from.

Watching her crawl for the first time, saying "Dadda" and seeing her grow up right before my eyes is such a daily treat.



It is nice when my wife finally gets home from work though as I could use a little break by then. "Momma" even made us her tasty turkey burgers last night for dinner.

Whip these up as a healthy alternative to regular burgers and your kids will love them!


Tasty Turkey Burgers

1 pack of lean ground turkey
1 tsp of savory spice (I think this is a Newfoundland spice)
whole wheat bread crumbs
1 omega 3 egg
sea salt and black pepper

mix it all in a bowl to make 4 burgers, add to heated pan coated in grapeseed oil until cooked through.

(cooking them in grapeseed oil is good as its a healthy oil good for frying and it smells like fried chicken when you cook with it!)

place on toasted whole wheat buns topped with baby spinach, tomatoes, sauteed onions, whole grain Dijon mustard and salsa

For dessert a little treat of dark chocolate packed full of antioxidants. Yes this chocolate is actually good for you! Try to get the stuff that is at least 70-80% cacoa, which gives you the health benefits.

Don't confuse this with milk chocolate! That is pure junk.


I also had a great workout today at the gym as I trained chest, back and abs.

Flat Bench Press
Flat DB Bench Press
Bent over DB Rows
Rope Face Pulls (for upper back)
Barbell Twists

Looking forward to a nice weekend with the family as my wife is off for the weekend.

Might hit the gym tomorrow or Sunday, see what happens.
