Day 28 - Asian Salad and Turnip Experiment

Breakfast: Heirloom tomato, 1/2 avocado and grass-fed beef sausage.

I walked to the farmers market after breakfast to buy more grass-fed beef. The actual rancher who runs the operation in Santa Maria was working his booth this time. I thanked him for producing healthy food without the hormones and corn. Meeting him was super cool. I am a nerd. I also bought two turnips before walking back home.

Lunch: Bison over farmers market greens. I drizzled the salad with walnut oil and liquid aminos which gave it a nice Asian flavor. This salad was really good! I also had some steamed broccoli.

Late afternoon and early dinner:
The other half of the avocado
Grass-fed beef sausage
Raspberries with sliced almonds and coconut milk


 Justin and I experimented with the turnips to see if we could make turnip french fries. I saw a recipe online. I would not recommend this. They turned out extremely soggy in both the oven and deep fried. Turnips hold too much moisture to work for fries. I am just going to stick with them as my breakfast potatoes.
