Mexican Bacon Turkey Skillet and Saggy Skin :/

So, I kind of made this up on the fly. After last week's success with the Philly Cheesesteak StirFry from The World According to Eggface, my husband asked for more stir-frys or skillet meals. Well, hell. There's a ton on Pinterest and such, but none that are bari-friendly. So, I thought about what we used to eat, many, many, moons ago, and Hamburger Helper came to mind. He and I LOVED the Mexican rice hamburger helpers. So, I made a bari-friendly easy Hamburger Helper-style meal. And he liked it. Honestly, you could fix this up any way you want it, but this is what I did...

Mexican Bacon Turkey Skillet

-1 bag riced cauliflower
-6 slices cooked turkey bacon, chopped (I used some that I had cooked up earlier in the week... just pulled it from the fridge, chopped it, and tossed it in)
-1- 4 oz. can green chilis, drained
-1 lb. ground turkey
-1 packet Taco Bell taco seasoning
-About 1/4 c. Mild Taco Bell Sauce
-About 1/2 tsp. dehydrated onion
-About 1/2 c. 2% Reduced Fat Mexican Blend Cheese
-Toppings

-Thaw and drain your riced cauliflower, being sure to squeeze out all the extra water using a cheesecloth, paper towel, or kitchen towel.
-Put about a tbsp. EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) in a medium skillet, and begin to saute your cauliflower.
-Pour in your can of chilis, and your dehydrated onion.
-After you have a beginning saute on your chilis and onions, add your ground turkey, turkey bacon, packet of taco seasoning, and taco sauce.
-Cook on medium heat until turkey is cooked through.
-Top with cheese, and put a lid on the pan just to melt the cheese.
-Serve with your choice of taco toppings.

I wanted to add black beans to this, but my husband nixed that idea. I topped mine with salsa, and it would also be good with some plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream. I just ate mine as is in a bowl. To give my husband something extra, I put his on top of some Doritos, and he loved it. Said it was like a walking taco from back in school. :) This warms up very well (I had some for breakfast this morning), and it's just very good. I will warn you, it doesn't look pretty. But it tastes awesome. Plus! If your plan allows it, you could add corn to this for another layer of flavor... maybe a little lime and avocado... yum! I think that this would be best with a shredded meat though... shredded beef, chicken, or pork particularly. Husband liked it though, so, it's being added to our regular dinner menu. :)

Give it a try, let me know what you think! :)

So, the second part of this post is the pictures I promised... the saggy skin. If you don't want to see it, turn away now...

The belly is hard to see still, because I still have a lot to lose there... but as you can see, the arms and Thighs are bad... but, as my aunt pointed out, the alternative is worse... My husband really helps with the self-confidence thing... it really doesn't seem to bother him that I have the saggy skin. But we're getting the arms fixed (at least you can see the definition of them now!!), and the belly once I'm much closer to goal weight.
