Lean Ground Beef
We are eating healthier and trying to lose weight. One way to cut back on calories is to eat lean ground beef instead of ground beef.
Lean ground beef has less fat and calories than ground beef. I bought two pounds of lean ground beef at the grocery store this week. Although part of me balked at the $8 it cost(twice the cost of ground beef), I knew that it was better for us. I hate when I dismiss more expensive items at the grocery store but won’t think twice about spending nearly $20 eating fast food. I just need to prioritize our spending. Eating at home is always more affordable and healthy.
I used the two pounds of lean ground beef in spaghetti and hamburgers. The hamburgers were huge. I made big, thick patties - knowing that they would shrink some. They really didn’t shrink at all like ground beef so we had some really thick burgers. Next time I can use about half a pound for burgers and then use the other half pound for another dish. So that’s three meals for $8 meat. That’s not bad at all.
I enjoy ground turkey but it is so dry that you really need to add a lot of flavor to it. At least with lean ground beef, you still have lots of flavor, just less fat. Also clean up from the hamburgers was so easy. There was hardly any grease in the skillet.
Lean ground beef can help with dieting because it will cut your fat and calories of some of your favorite dishes. It also is easy to clean up since there isn’t a lot of grease.

Hiya, i have seen your site when searching a few weeks ago and i really love the design! I just bought a new 3 character domain (cost me a packet) for a niche review blog, and i was wondering if your design is a free or paid one? I’m new to Wordpress and about to set it up, and i would really like to get something with a similar look to yours. Any ideas where i could download or buy something similar? Thanks for your help!
