Turkey Tacos- To make the turkey tacos i just brown the meat and add my own seasoning.  (1/2 tsp. chili powder,
1/2 tsp. chipolte chili powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper)  Be sure to add a little water when simmering so the meat doesn't dry out, turkey is always a little bit dryer than beef.  I make a little corn and black bean salsa combining black beans, corn, red onion, mango, cherry tomatoes, lime, and cilantro.  Then everything gets topped with the avocado cream sauce and feta cheese.  So delicious!

Burgers- To make your own burger patties, mix ground beef, 2 tbs. melted butter, 3 tbs. worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.  Form into patties and grill.  Top with cheese and serve topped with your favorite fixings.  Here's what we like to use; avocado, cheese, lettuce, sprouts, and our special sauce with olive oil mayo and ketchup and some secret ingredients!  To make sweet potato fries I cut up sweet potatoes in 1/2 inch sticks, coat with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little rosemary (optional) and bake in the oven at 400 degrees until browned and crispy.  I finish it on broil for about a minute to really crisp it up, but be sure to watch closely because they can burn very quickly.

Pork Tenderloin- I completely followed this recipe.  Then for the potatoes I did the same thing as sweet potato fries above but cut into 1/2" cubes.
