After work and an hour-long walk with Sadie, Ryan headed out to the backyard to grill up some chicken breasts for him and a big portobello mushroom cap for me.
That man is a grillin’ machine! He always gets it just right.
The Side
Before we left on our walk with Sadie, I prepared our yummy side.
While we were on our walk, we let the fries bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, after spraying them with cooking spray and sprinkling them with salt, pepper and chili powder.
Of course we enjoyed a squirt of ketchup on the side because fries aren’t complete without it!
Burger ‘n’ Fries
Once my portobello “burger” was ready, I placed it on a honey wheat sandwich thin and topped it with lettuce and light Miracle whip.
This was quite the healthy take on a typical burger and fries, huh?

I did subscibe to Oxygen, but it ran out. Darn!
Ryan looks a lot bigger (muscle-wise)! Wow! He’s definitely been hiting those weights!
peanutbutterfingers says

Vee says
Funny you said that Linds as I was thinking exactly the same thing! 🙂
I am subscribed to Women’s Fitness (UK magazine).
Kelly says
That is exactly what I am going to have this Sunday at my mom’s mother’sday cookout! YUM!!! And Ryan has some GUNS!!! WOWZERS!
angela1508 says
I love your outfit!! I subscribe to Women’s Health, Cosmo, and Chatelaine it has good recipes!) I was getting Shape for years but decided to switch to Women’s Health for a bit, just for a change. I still buy it occasionally though, as well as Oxygen. I really like some of the workouts in both!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Love that outfit- you always dress so well!! I used to have a ton of subscriptions, but my dad stopped them all when I went to college. Now I just buy whatever looks interesting!!
janetha says
hey, doll! i just caught up on a bunch of your posts. i LOVE your save the date photo you picked! and it looks like you’ve been eating some yummy stuff, i love pears with nut butter AND crock pot pulled chicken 🙂
Gigi says
Dinner looks great! 🙂 I love the way you dress, its always very fashionable! Oh and thanx for the code I just used it! I currenlty recieve womens health so cant wait for shape! Thanx!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Love your dress! 🙂
Courtney says
I currently get Self, Shape, Glamour, & Cooking Light…and I have 5 sitting in a pile that I just can’t seem to get to! Grrr! I think I need to cut back on the subscriptions! 😉
lisaou11 says
HOly muscles Ryan! ow ow ;).
I have Shape, Fitness, Self and Eating Clean!!
PS–I think you just need to start telling us where you get your clothes–sort of like Ali from Food Fitness Fashion b/c they are all so dang cute.
peanutbutterfingers says
i love ali’s blog! 🙂 in this case my shirt is from forever 21, the skirt is banana republic & i bought the sandals at ross. 😀
jqlee says
does ryan work out much? haha. tell him it shows and he looks great. not to mention you are gorgeous as always!
thanks for the promo code for shape. i JUST ordered it 🙂
i used to subscribe to women’s health but i just canceled. it was getting redundant. i think subscribing is sooo worth it though because if you buy the magazine even like 2 time in the year, it pays for the subscription in itself.

Indonesia’s main problem always comes down to culture and history as well as general living communities in Indonesia, apart from businesses that have a direct relationship and inter-related, as well as other business facilities in Indonesia. Given the Indonesian nation is known to have a good culture then this is also pushing for overall economic growth, and attract investors
katie says
Hmm..never had turnips! 🙂 How did they taste compared to a sweet potato!?
peanutbutterfingers says
they are more bitter than a sweet potato – not nearly as sweet.
Keri says
Omg I did I post on this. I also subscribe to too many but $3 a year is so hard to resist! I currently subscribe to: Runner’s World, Womens’ Health, Self, and Yoga Journal.
midgetkeeper says
I love turnip fries, had them for lunch yesterday!
I subscribe to food and wine magazine right now and that’s it. I need to get a few more although I never have time to read the ones I already buy 🙁
MLT says
Um, WHAT on earth does Ryan do for a work out? He looks like he should be teaching P90x. 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
haha! a bunch of people from my work are doing P90X right now! ryan lifts heavy weights, targeting a different muscle group every day. he’s also recently incorporated running into his routine, too!
cjrymommy says
Hi Julie! I’m new to your blog and just wanted to say thanks for the coupon code for Shape. I currently get Fitness (which I love) but for $3 you can’t go wrong with another health/fitness magazine.
Your blog is great – keep up the good work!!
