A Stine Family Meal (and an easy way to get veggies into your kids!)
Written by Tabitha Stine
This is basically an adaptation of tacos – without the shells and with a lot more vegetables. I’ve made this easy skillet dish for a lot of other people and they have all loved it! I’ve even had kids tell me they typically hate spinach but couldn’t even taste it. Plus they went back for seconds! It’s a weekly meal at our house, so here it is, from our family to yours.
Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Turkey
¼ c. Taco Seasoning
¾ c. Water
Olive Oil
1 c. Broccoli
2 Zucchini
½ Bag Frozen Chopped Spinach
1 can Diced Tomatoes (I use sun-dried, yummy)
Avocado
Directions:
In a large skillet, brown the turkey meat in olive oil.
Add taco seasoning and water, then simmer for five minutes.
Chop broccoli and zucchini and steam them until slightly tender, approx 5-6 minutes.
Add the broccoli, zucchini, frozen spinach and tomatoes to the seasoned ground turkey.
Continue simmering for another few minutes until all veggies are fully cooked.
Scoop some into a bowl and top with your favorite taco fixings – avocado, salsa, or shredded cheese (if you do dairy).
Makes 4-6 servings
I hope your family enjoys this meal as much as ours.
mmmm, sounds yummy! Thanks!!!

Mike, I read your post on yesterday’s blog and liked your feedback on the weight gain side of strength, though I don’t agree with your comment along the lines of fat gain necessarily being a part of body mass gain. Based on my own experience as well as others I’ve worked with and read of (Ross Enamait’s mass gain experiment comes to mind), gaining fat is not something that has to come along with your mass gains. Since moving to San Antonio in November, I’ve maintained my body fat % (ok, that’s approximate since I didn’t have it officially measured) and put on about 10 lbs. of mass follwing Wendler’s 531. It wasn’t really intentional, but I just ate a grain and dairy free diet with lots of meat and veggies to get there. I’m happy with the strength gains I’ve made (eg. BS 350×3 up to 370×5), though it’s hard to say how those would’ve been affected had I not put on any extra weight.
I think that if you’re on an extremely aggressive weight gain program that you’d be more likely to gain fat, and from the little I’ve checked out 70sbig that seems to be more of what they lean towards, though I’m guessing you’ve got some more experience with the site than I do.
Bottom line, if you want to gain lean mass, it’s easy to do. You just might have to be a bit more patient than if you just want to gain mass without regard to quality.
