Chicken Burger, Tailgate FitFuel

Tailgates are often places with nothing really all that healthy for people trying to eat right. So, I dug into my files and found this for those of you who are looking for a tasty change in pace at your next tailgate! Enjoy! What ya need: 2/3 lb of chicken 1 egg 1/2 of a medium red bell pepper 1/2 of a medium yellow onion 1 teaspoon of coconut oil 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley 1/4 teaspoon of dried coriander 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon of kosher sea salt Ok, so: In a food processor, finely cut the chicken and set aside. Finely shop the onion and bell pepper. Mix the chicken with all of the other ingredients in a bowl until well-incorporated. Form this mixture into 2 patties. You can refrigerate these for about 2 days. When you're ready to cook, grill over medium coals or pan fry over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side. Serve hot!

Dr. Scholl's® Active Series® Insole Review

I suffer from some rather painful shin splints, so I was ecstatic when I received a complimentary pair of these insoles. I tried them out on a few runs and I just didn't get the relief that was expected. I still required the use of compression sleeves and tape.

Overall, not a "great" product, but a good one. NOTE: I received this product for free from Influenster .
