“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)
Tonight we had more of a “manly meal” for two studly basketball players. Instead of salad & fish, we had burgers & fries. As you guys know, nothing comes out of my kitchen that isn’t nourishing to the body, and this was no exception. These burgers were delicious and popped with flavor!
I topped these beefy burgers with these beautiful local organic tomatoes, onions, avocados, some organic condiments, and wrapped in a beautiful local red lettuce. MMM!
These red potato fries were the perfect pair to the perfect burger. They were crispy and FULL of flavor!
Here are some fun facts about red potatoes…
1. They are high in Vitamin B-6 which has shown to be essential in enzymatic function in the body.
2. It has been shown to not spike your blood sugar as much as the average Russet Potato.
3. It is less-likely to feed Candida Yeast overgrowth and usually considered a safe food on most candida-killing diets such as the “Body Ecology Diet”.
4. It is low in calories with a good amount of fiber.
5. They contain high levels of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant. The red potato contains five times the level of antioxidants compared with the russet potato.
6. Contain a good amount of protein with 4 completely bio-available grams.
To better demo how EASY this meal is to throw together, I made a quick video in my cute little Spanish Kitchen. Enjoy!
