5 egg whites, 3 Tbsp cream of wheat, 1/4 tsp baking powder and cinnamon...ALMOST tastes
like French toast!!!!!

Cinnamon Chocolate Egg Whites

Ingredients/Directions:
I know this picture isn't pretty, in fact it looks pretty gross, but just trust me on this one! It
tastes really good! This is how I have been doing my egg whites at night. I have been trying
not to eat cottage cheese for my last meal every night, but I have a hard time doing eggs at
night. I mixed 1/3 scoop of my MRM chocolate whey protein and a whole bunch of cinnamon in
with my eggs while they were cooking (would be good with a dash of almond milk too). After
they were on my plate, I sprinkled a little bit of Truvia on top and more cinnamon. Makes them
taste more like a dessert than egg whites!
I had been doing cottage cheese (either "chocolate" or "pumpkin pie") each night, but am
trying not to eat so much sugar for my last meal (at least a few nights a week) and the fat free
cottage cheese still has 5-6 grams of sugar, so I found this a great way to get the eggs in at
night. - Natalie Hodson

Oatmeal Banana Bake - one word - heaven!

Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:

2 cups of rolled oats


4 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder
2 tbs ground flaxseed (not required though if you don't have them handy)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp cinnamon
4 egg whites
1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 oz applesauce baby food (or unsweetened applesauce)
1/2 cup Stevia in the raw
2 sliced bananas (slices were fairly thin)

Directions:
Mix together wet ingredients - except sliced banana.
Mix together dry ingredients in separate bowl.
Spray a pie pan with non-stick baking spray (you could also use an 8x8 if you wanted)
Line the bottom of a round baking pan with one of the sliced bananas
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients - make sure it is distributed evenly.
Pour mixture on top the layer of sliced bananas.
Cover with remaining sliced banana. I had three strawberries left in a container in my fridge
that I had to use or else they were going to go bad so I put those on top too.
Cooked at 375 degrees for 40 minutes (make sure a knife comes out clean in the center....I
wasn't sure how long to cook it for so I originally set my timer at 30 minutes and checked it
every few minutes. In my oven, 40 minutes seemed to do the trick). -Natalie Hodson

Blueberry "Coffee Cake" Protein Bread

Ingredients/Directions:
I just made a version Jamie's cinnamon swirl bread with blueberries - so good!
I followed the exact same recipe except I cooked it in a loaf pan instead of an 8x8 pan (make
sure to spray non-stick spray in the pan first or your bread will stick!). After I mixed all the
ingredients together in my bowl I added a big handful of blueberries (probably about 1 cup). I
didn't use the Ideal/Cinnamon blend on top, but you could if you wanted! I just sprinkled a
little cinnamon on the top.
I cooked the loaf for 50 minutes at 350, but that might vary a little bit by oven. The cinnamon
swirl bread makes 16 bars, so I cut this loaf into 8 slices and figured 2 slices was the equivalent
of 4 bars. After I cut it up (picture here is not so pretty - sorry!) I actually used the slices to
make French toast (just used egg whites, almond milk, and cinnamon for the batter) and
topped with unsweetened applesauce. Yum!!
This would be a great Sunday morning breakfast for the family or something great to make if
people were coming over. The blueberries made it so moist and you never would have been
able to tell it was a protein bread. -Natalie Hodson

Turkey Muffin Salad

Ingredients/Directions:
I went to prepare my lunch and realized that I was out of precooked chicken ;( So I took 2
turkey muffins and threw those in my chef rival chopper (http://www.usjesco.com/gourmetquick-chopper-2000.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1) with my mix of veggies - broccoli,
celery, red pepper, zucchini, red onion, mushroom spinach and gave it a few spins - then I put
that on a warm skillet and warmed it and added 1 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce - tiny bit
for a little flavor - put it on a bed of un-chopped spinach, then scrambled 3 egg whites and
mixed that in with the rest. I would have added my rice with this, but I had to toss it last night
and didn't have any today - so I ate it with a slice of Ezekiel bread and spread a little avocado
on it. I am FULL :) -Toni Cisneros

Smoky Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

(2) 32-oz boxes low-sodium chicken broth


1 cup water
3 lbs chicken (the recipe calls for chicken tenders, but I had extra shredded chicken I
had made in the Crockpot that I overcooked and had turned out too dry so I used it in
this recipe)
3-6 bay leafs, fresh if available
1 Tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
3 medium onions, finely chopped
12-15 garlic cloves, chopped
6 chipotles in adobo, chopped, plus 1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce (whatever is leftover
in can) (I had no idea what this was before I found it in the store, so I took a pic so you
know what to look like - I found it in the Hispanic food aisle)
(3) 14.5-ounce cans crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
(3) 14.5-ounce cans no-salt diced tomatoes
1/2 Food-For-Life Rice Tortilla per serving
1 lime, cut into wedges
(2) 14.5-ounce cans black beans, drained
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
1 red onion, chopped (not pictured)

Directions:
In a large pot add the chicken broth, chicken and bay leaf, if your chicken is not cooked yet,
then you will want to cut up the chicken breast or chicken tenders into 1inch cubes and poach
the chicken for 6-7 minutes.
While the chicken poaches, heat the EVOO in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the
onions and garlic to the skillet and cook them for 5 minutes, then stir in the chipotles and
adobo sauce and the tomatoes.
LiveFit Recipe Collection

Page 34

Remove bay leaves (if you want) from the chicken broth. Then add the tomato mixture to the
chicken/chicken broth. Drain black beans then add to soup.
Put oven on Hi Broil. Place 1-2 FFL rice tortillas on a cookie sheet (or just a piece of foil if you
are lazy like me) and cook for 3 minutes on one side, flip and do 3 minutes on the other side.
Once baked, crush the tortilla into about 1-2 inch pieces. Use 1/2 tortilla per serving (or omit if
watching carbs).
Place a pile of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of each soup bowl. Ladle the hot soup down
over the top.
Pass bowls of lime, red onions and cilantro to finish the soup. You could even sub a dollop of
Greek yogurt for sour cream on top if you wanted.
Each 1.5-cup serving has appx. 6 oz chicken, 10.9 oz tomatoes, 1/2 FFL rice tortilla (if desired),
2.4oz black beans, 8 oz chicken broth, 1/4 tsp EVOO, onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice,
chipotles.
NOTE** This dish turns out a little on the spicy side. If you don't like spicy food I would just
omit the extra adobo sauce. If you REALLY don't like spicy food I would omit both the chipotles
and adobo sauce.
************************************
Here are the macros: 1.5 cup serving (this is without the tortilla or beans - if you add the beans
I have just been adding 2.4oz goya black beans in my calorie counter and 1/2 FFL rice tortilla)

If you make it without the beans, the carbs are all veggie carbs. So, if I eat it with beans and
with tortilla I just add those as separate items. If you have the beans, just add about 2.4 oz
black beans to each serving (54 calories, .3 fat, 11.4 carbs, 4.2 protein). If you add the tortilla
just add 1/2 FFL tortilla (65 calories, 1.3 fat, 12 carbs, 1 protein). Hope that helps! -Natalie

Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 8 hrs


Ingredients:

1 lbs. ground turkey


tsp. oregano
tsp. ground black pepper
tsp. hot pepper sauce
c. diced onion
c. diced celery
c. diced green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 -10.75 oz cans tomato puree
1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans
1 (15 oz.) can cannelloni beans w/liquid
1 (15 oz.) can black beans (not in the original recipe but I add them)
tsp. chili powder
tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
tsp. dried basil

Directions:
Place meat in skillet and cook until brown. Drain any excess fat. Place meat in a slow cooker
and mix in onion, celery, green bell pepper, garlic, tomato puree, kidney beans and cannelloni
beans. Season with chili powder, parsley, salt, basil, oregano, black pepper, and hot pepper
sauce. Cover and cook for 8 hours on Low.
NOTE: This is a recipe I found a long time ago. Ive tweaked it for my diet likes and/or needs. It calls for 1 lb. of ground beef but I
use 2 lbs. of turkey. I dont like celery so I omit it. Instead of hot pepper sauce I use peppers from my home and sometimes I omit
the chili powder as well. Oftentimes Im out of parsley and basil so I dont use them. I also rinse all the beans and dont add the salt
in order to reduce the sodium. Lastly, I put the garlic, onion, bell pepper, tomato puree, and seasonings in a blender then add to
the slow cooker. Even with these slight changes, it comes out great. -Liliana Ruano

Chicken Veggie Soup

It may not LOOK very appetizing but I think it tastes delicious! I haven't put portion sizes and
all the vegetables are free so I've included all the ingredients and you can make it to your
preference! With the cooking method, I use water to cook everything but you can also cook
with balsamic vinegar!
Ingredients:









Broccoli
Cauliflower
Baby Marrow (I think its Zucchini in the US)
Green Beans
Mushrooms
Onion
Portion of Chicken
Spices

Directions:
Cook onions and mushrooms in a nonstick pan. Boil remaining vegetables together in a large
pot. Cook chicken with spices in a nonstick pan. Once broccoli is cooked, remove majority and
add to a blender/food processor. Blend until smooth and then add pured mixture, cooked
mushrooms/onions and chicken pieces to vegetable pot (turns BRIGHT green). Add spices, salt
and pepper to taste and that's my version of a very healthy chicken vegetable soup!
Oh and for those who have never tried it, the pured broccoli acts as a thickening agent so it's
not just chicken and veggies with water! I find it does the job perfectly :) For one person I'd
say: Half a small onion, 1 cup mushrooms, big floret of broccoli, 1 baby marrow (zucchini), 1/2
cup green beans, small floret cauliflower. It may be too much to start off with but play it by ear
:) -Lindsay Jayne Combrink

Potato and Leek Soup

Ingredients/Directions:
Slice the white parts and light green only parts of 3 leeks into semi circles. Place them into a
large bowl with water to rinse them of any dirt, drain.
Peel and dice 4 yukon gold potatoes into large uniform sized pieces, set aside. In a soup pot or
dutch oven heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add leeks and saute for 5 minutes until soft. Season
with salt and pepper. Add potatoes and cover with 3 cups of low sodium vegetable stock or
chicken broth and one cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and keep an
eye on the doneness of the potatoes, about 10 minutes.
When cooked through add 2 cups of low fat milk (I used skim). More salt and pepper. Break out
the blender. CEM says to puree only 2 cups, that's not traditional and if you don't puree it all, it
won't look anything like it does in the picture. Not theirs or mine!
Using a slotted spoon, transfer about a cup of potatoes at a time to your blender, puree but be
careful as hot liquids will pop the lid right off of your blender, it's science, that steam wants out,
so pulse it - gently and carefully returning each batch to the pot until not a potato is left
unprocessed. I'd say it took a total of 6 or 7 trips to the blender in all.
As you go, the soup will thicken with each batch pureed. Keep the heat on low and once it's all
done, let it simmer on low for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will thicken it up.
We each had a small bowl of this, his with Organic Valley reduced fat cheddar and mine with
almond cheese. Just a sprinkle on top of each bowl with some fresh cracked pepper and sea
salt. It was great, but soups need salt, so this is a carb filled treat that may spike up the
sodium. Definitely for a high-carb day! -Daria McDermott

Salsa Chicken

Ingredients/Directions:
My favorite meal that works for the whole week is salsa chicken. Put 6 chicken breasts in
Crockpot with 2 small cans of no salt tomato sauce and a 16 oz low sodium salsa. Cook on
Sunday and you can use it all week for tacos, salads and much more. This works well with
adding reduced sodium chicken broth. and seasonings as well. You get nicely seasoned,
shredded chicken that goes with everything!! Erica Corcoran

OTHER VARIATIONS: Cook chicken in Crockpot with a jar of fresh organic salsa and then shred
the chicken when done cooking. Serve on sprouted tortillas w/ avocado & peppers for dinner,
YUM! You could also add a can or two of drained and rinsed black beans. I typically use 1 can
of beans to 3 chicken breasts. Beans are considered a starch so if you served a few veggies on
the side you would have a complete meal with the chicken, beans, and veggies. -Natalie

Shepherds Pie

Ingredients/Directions:
Peel and dice 4 average size yukon gold potatoes (CEM also uses cauliflower but I didn't want
to go too untraditional), boil water, cook spuds for 8-10 minutes or until tender, drain and set
aside.
Dice one small onion, peel and dice 4 carrots and chop up 3 gloves of garlic. Defrost 1 cup of
frozen peas. In a pan, saute 1 lb. of lean turkey (or bison as CEM calls for) with onions and
garlic and carrots. TIP: If you can boil the carrots for a few minutes, do and then add to the
pan with the cooked up turkey, onions and garlic.
Cook just until meat is no longer pink, set aside. Rice your potatoes or mash them up with a
potato masher. Add 1/2 cup of whatever milk you use (I used skim, almond wasn't gonna cut
it) and some salt and pepper, I also added a teaspoon of olive oil so that they have a little fat to
brown better.
In another pan, preferably a standard pan - NOT a non stick (I'm totally winning my own
contest as far as dishes go) heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add 2 tablespoons of flour (I
used spelt) and stir well to start a roux for gravy. I added 1 cup of low sodium vegetable stock,
you can use beef or chicken, I don't think it matters, slowly while stirring to incorporate it into
the gravy base of flour and oil.
Add 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce to the gravy. TIP: this is what CEM called for though I
have to admit next time I'm doubling this gravy or subbing it for a clean canned variety as I'm
sure there's one out there, it just wasn't gravy-d up enough for me.
Pour turkey into a baking dish, cover with gravy and peas, season with salt and pepper. Put
mashed potatoes over top and use the back of a spoon to evenly distribute them. Take a fork
and make it pretty by scraping diagonally in one direction, then diagonally in the other. Sprinkle
with parsley and give the top a quick mist of olive oil or cooking spray.
Into a preheated 375 oven for 40 minutes, middle rack. Broil momentarily to get a little extra
crusty texture.
This recipe claimed to serve 8. It served me one cup sized serving and he ate the rest. All of it.
So, warning, you may want to double this if you're feeding a family! From @Daria McDermott

Protein - In a crock-pot, I cooked a pork lion roast all day, with a bit of garlic salt and pepper.
Black beans - Clean, rinse and drain dry black beans, cook in a crock-pot on low for about 5

Spicy Garlic Tilapia

I got this from Vanessa Tib's website (http://vanessatib.com/) and changed a few small things.
This is the best tilapia I have ever had!!!
Ingredients:

2 medium size tilapia filets (when I weighed these raw mine were 3.5 ounces each so
probably about 6 ounces after cooked?)
1.5 tsp garlic powder (fresh garlic would have probably tasted way better but I was out)
1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil (optional)
1 teaspoon of black ground Pepper
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 limes juice
1 teaspoon of oregano powder
1/2 teaspoon of Paprika powder
2 teaspoons of lite low-sodium Soy Sauce

Directions:
In a bowl mix all ingredients together (except tilapia). Mix well with a fork. Dip the tilapia in the
mixture on both sides of the fish. Most of the mixture won't stick. I put the fish on a plate and
then poured the rest of the marinade on the fish (used a rubber spatula to scrape out all the
yummy herbs). Keep in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes (more if possible).
I baked the tilapia the same way Jamie does her fish in foil. I put some asparagus to steam on
top. Cook in the oven for 15-20 mins at 350 degrees. I served with brown rice and then poured
the leftover marinade over the rice for flavor. -Natalie Hodson

Spinoccoli Muffins

Ingredients/Directions:
If you're looking for a new spin on the turkey muffins/meatballs, these came out awesome.
Calling them Spinoccoli Muffins (yes, after the famed Uno's Pizzeria Pie).
Use 1 lb 99% lean turkey, 1 cup of frozen spinach and 1 cup of frozen broccoli cuts defrosted
and chopped finely (I used a santoku knife to make sure everything was very small, they
drained any water), 1 half of a yellow onion diced finely, 4 garlic cloves smashed and chopped
up, salt, pepper, 1 tsp each dried basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, 2 large egg whites.

Crockpot Curry Chicken

Ingredients:

1 can of tomato paste (6oz)


2 cups water
8-9 cloves of garlic, crushed
4 Tbsp yellow curry
2 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated and peeled
2 tsp cumin
2 onions, chopped
4-5 lbs chicken breast

Directions:
Whisk first six ingredients together in the bottom of the Crockpot. Trim off any fat and tendons
from the breasts and put them in there. Cover the chicken with the curry sauce then throw the
onions on top. Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low.
Eat throughout week in lettuce wraps or served over brown rice or broccoli.
A few things...some people might think it needs salt I just didn't add any because I am trying to
watch my salt these last few weeks. It is a tiny bit spicy because of the ginger. Also, make sure
you pour a lot of the liquid in the crock pot on the chicken while you are eating it - it makes it
taste a lot better. Garnishing with scallions or chives at the end will taste yummy too!- Natalie

Cooked & Riced Cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 package (about 12 oz.) almond cheese


4 egg whites beaten
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon basil
olive oil (optional)
10 oz. no sodium added tomato sauce (I added basil, pepper, and garlic salt to this as
well)

Toppings:
I used tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, peppers, ground lean chicken, and almond cheese. To
"rice" the Cauliflower: Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and
chop the florets into chunks. Microwave (semi-covered) for about ten minutes. Mash with a fork
until the cauliflower is about the texture of rice. (If you have a great food processor, you can
chop the cauliflower prior to heating it in the microwave).
To Make the Pizza Crust:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together about 3 cups cauliflower, 4 egg whites and almond cheese
(save some cheese for toppings). Add oregano, crushed garlic, garlic salt, and basil stir.
Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands or a fork, pat out into cookie sheet.
Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning.
Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. (Check often for burning)
Remove from oven.
To the crust, add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until
cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes).
*Note: Toppings need to be precooked since you are only broiling for a few minutes. -Lauren

Curry Chicken Wrap

Ingredients (makes about 5 servings):

2lb chicken breast


1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Yellow curry powder (probably about 3 Tbsp or so)
Black powder (to taste)
5 Roma tomatoes (1 per serving), diced
15 romaine lettuce leaves (3 per serving)

For the Dressing:

1 cup Fage 0% Greek yogurt


2 Truvia packets
15-20 mint leaves, hand torn or chopped

First I cut three large chicken breasts into strips (cut the fatty part off first). Then in a frying
pan add the soy sauce and chicken broth. Let it heat up on medium heat for about a minute.
Then add about half of the chicken strips. Once you have added the chicken strips generously
sprinkle yellow curry powder and pepper all over one side. Allow to cook about 2-3 minutes on
the first side. Using a fork, flip each piece of chicken and allow the other side to cook 2-3
minutes. Check the chicken after the second side has cooked 2-3 minutes and re-flip if chicken
isn't cooked through. Once the first batch is done do the same thing with the second half of
the chicken, but you can use the same liquid you used in the first batch.
Dressing -In a small bowl mix together the yogurt, Truvia, and mint leaves. You will have extra
left over after you make the wraps, which you can use for leftovers.
Put three romaine lettuce leaves on a plate. I put 1 tbsp of the dressing on each lettuce leaf,
then evenly distributed one diced Roma tomato over the three leaves. Added the chicken and
you are good to go! Very, very yummy low-carb lunch.
You could probably do the chicken in the crock pot also and it would be an easy way to make it
in bulk. -Natalie Hodson

Rotisserie Style Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:

1 4-5 lb. whole roasting chicken


1 yellow onion
Sea salt- about 3 tsp.
Paprika
Onion powder
Dried thyme
Cayenne pepper
Black pepper
Garlic pepper

Directions:
Make a spice rub with the spices listed above. It is really up to individual preference how much
of each spice you want to use. I generally use about tsp. with the exception of sea salt. It is
the base of the rub so I use more.
Remove any giblets from chicken. Rinse the cavity and pat dry. Rub the chicken inside and out
with the spice mixture. Quarter the onion and place into the cavity of the chicken.
Place chicken in a dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight if possible or make
early in the morning and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Place chicken on rack in a roaster and bake uncovered for about 4 hours.
Additional vegetables can be added to rack in last hours of cooking. -Jennifer Karren Lee

Pork Tenderloin and Grandmas Broccoli Salad

Ingredients/Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Wrap two sweet potatoes in tin foil and put in lower rack of oven. Heat a
pan on medium (say a 4-5 out of 6) coated with cooking spray and add sliced yellow onions (I
used one half of a large one), red peppers, a few cloves of garlic and a half of a jalapeno.
Warning, your house will start to smell like an Italian feast.
When onions are translucent remove all and set aside. Coat 1 lb. pork tenderloin with salt,
pepper and three tablespoons Annie's Red Pepper Dressing (2 grams of sugar, all natural, low
cal, low carb). Rub it into pork. Add 1 TB olive oil to the same pan used for the peppers and
onions and bring heat up. Sear the tenderloin 5 minutes on each side.
On a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil, place seared tenderloin and put into middle oven
rack. Cooking time will vary based on the cut, so keep checking, but don't pierce the tenderloin
all over or you'll lose the juices.
Take the same pan which should now be nicely seasoned with some of the cooked off pork loin
bits and add few drops of olive oil and a few cloves of garlic. Bring the heat back up and toss in
Broccolette (baby broccoli).
Sear in the pan momentarily and then add a cup of low sodium vegetable stock, salt and
pepper. It helps to use a vegetable peeler to prep the stalks. Heat just until the broccoli starts
to take a deeper green color and is still firm.
Remove from pan leaving juice behind. Let cool.
Take the juice of half of a lemon and pour over top, this cuts the fat and makes an instant
dressing, add hot red pepper flakes (Grandma's recipe).
When the pork is cooked let it set for a few minutes before slicing and serve as in the pics
above! -Daria McDermott http://dariamcdermott.com/recipes/pork-tenderloin-and-grandmasbroccoli-salad.html

Grilled Chicken for the Week

Thanks to @Louella Garcia and @Nicole Lionakis, I now have perfect chicken that is oh so
good! I did a combo of ideas that I liked...
Ingredients:

24 boneless skinless chicken breasts trimmed of extra fat

For the seasoning:

Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Black Pepper
Dried Parsley Flakes
Celery Seed
Red Pepper

Directions:
Place 8 breasts on a foil lined half bakers sheet pan. Pat breasts dry and sprinkle on liberal
amounts of seasoning Flip breasts and pat dry with paper towel and sprinkle on additional
seasoning, do this for a total of 3 pans to make 24 breasts at one time.
Preheat oven to ROAST at 425 degrees - You may be able to use bake setting if you don't have
a roast setting. I prefer roast since it uses convection air to circulate heat and ensure all three
pans cook evenly.
Arrange racks in oven to be evenly spaced starting from the very bottom rung, skip a rung,
place rack, skip a rung, place rack... Want to avoid being too close to the burn coils at the top
of the oven. Place pans in oven and roast for 6 minutes. Rotate pans; ie, top goes to very
bottom, bottom goes to middle, and middle goes to top rack. Continue roasting for 6 minutes.
Flip each breast over and rotate again. Roast for 7 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes to cool completely. Place a strip of saran wrap
over kitchen scale.
Weigh out preferred ounces (I did 5 oz chicken breast) and wrap in the saran wrap. I also
weighed out one for 7 oz, as this is the size my husband eats in a meal. Put the saran wrapped
breast in a small freezer bag to freeze. Do for the remaining breasts as well. -Cheri Colon

Salmon Burgers

Ingredients:
Makes 3 burgers

3/4 lb. fresh salmon


2 tbsp. oats
2 tbsp. green onions, chopped
1 tbsp. plain greek yogurt
2 tsp. stone-ground mustard (Dijon, honey mustard or regular mustard will also work)
1 tsp. dill

Directions:
I just saw this recipe on Shape Magazine's website and thought it sounded delish! I think I will
make these tomorrow night! These salmon burgers scream summer! A combination of hearthealthy salmon and whole grain oats make these burgers both nutritious and delicious.
Heat a griddle on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Combine ingredients in a food
processor and pulsate until everything is fully mixed. Shape salmon mixture into three patties
and place on griddle. Cook until sides of the patties appear cooked (approximately 5 minutes).
Flip patties and cook until salmon is completely cooked (another 5 minutes). Serve alone or on
top of an Ezekial bun (Food for Life brand is best and Jamie approved) with lettuce and tomato.

Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips

Ingredients/Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 I bought a bag of pre-cut Kale just because it is easier, but if you buy it in
the bunch just chop the bunch into pieces (not too small though).
In a separate bowl mix one part water, one part apple cider vinegar with the mother in it
(Braggs brand has this) (I did 1/2 c. vinegar 1/2 c. water). Also get a plate ready and fold up
and lay some paper towels down on it. Also put a piece of foil on a large cookie sheet.
Next you will "bathe" the kale in the vinegar mixture. Just do one handful at a time until it is
completely covered with vinegar. As you pull the kale out of the vinegar bath set it on the paper
towels and kind of pat the vinegar off. You don't want to completely take the vinegar off, you
just don't want a lot of excess liquid on the tray when you bake them or else they will be soggy
and not crunchy.
**Note, I didn't pat the liquid off in this pic which is why there is so much liquid on the tray lesson learned** Transfer the kale to the cookie sheet lined with foil. Keep doing one handful at
a time until the cookie sheet is full.
Sprinkle with sea salt. Put in oven and bake until edges of kale are brown and crispy. I cooked
for 12 minutes and that was good.
ome of my pieces were soggy because I had too much liquid. These are really, really good and
I had this whole tray gone in about three minutes! -Natalie Hodson

Shrimp Fra Diavolo

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined


1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
Juice of 1/2-1 lemon

Directions:
Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3
tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for
about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2
teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saut until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add
the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens
slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato
mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the
parsley and basil and lemon juice. I pour this entire mixture over whole wheat linguini or thin
spaghetti and normally reserve 1/2-1 cup of the pasta water to add in case i feel like there isn't
enough liquid left from the shrimp. This photo is old so there is parmesan cheese on top which i
just omit when i make now. From start to finish this only takes 20 minutes. It's a combination
of the recipes below (omitting the cheese and oil from the 2nd recipe) -Nicole Lionakis

Pan Seared Halibut with Artichoke

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons


4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning fish
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning fish
2 shallots, sliced into thin rounds
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound frozen artichokes, thawed
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves

Directions
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the halibut and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan over high heat. Cook the fish on the grill pan until just cooked through, about 4
minutes per side, depending on thickness.
In a medium saucepan, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the
shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and artichokes and cook until golden brown,
about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and stir, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan
with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and juice, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon
each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Ladle the artichoke and tomato broth into shallow bowls. Top with the grilled halibut.
I like to add a bunch of spinach in the broth towards the end (maybe 2 minutes before serving)
so it cooks a little but doesn't get mushy. Sometimes I will take the halibut off a minute early
too and put it into the pan with the sauce so it absorbs some of the flavor while finishing
cooking -Nicole Lionakis another favorite of mine...

Pan Seared Flounder with Whole Wheat Pasta or


Shredded Cabbage

Directions:
Dinner tonight! Flounder seasoned with salt and pepper cooked in lemon juice. "Sauce" was
made with lemon juice, garlic, cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers, spinach and fresh parsley.. I
served mine over cabbage and his over whole-wheat penne. It was soo good! First I just put
the defrosted flounder in a pan with about 2tbsp lemon juice and put pepper on the flounder. I
pan seared it for 2 minutes, then flipped it and did 2 minutes on the other side. (also, I was
boiling the noodles for hubs while I did this with the fish). While the fish was cooking I was
prepping my veggies. After fish was cooked I set it aside with a pan lid over it to keep the fish
warm. In the same pan (without rinsing) I put in some more lemon juice, about 6 cloves of
garlic, and about 1/2 to 3/4 cup red onion. I let this saut a for about 3 minutes. Then I added
about 10 cherry tomatoes, 2 big handfuls of spinach and chopped up red bell peppers. I just
sort of stirred this for a while with a wooden spoon, occasionally I would set a pan lid over the
pan so the spinach would wilt a little. Once the tomatoes were soft I squished them with a fork
so the juices ran out. After cooking for about 7-8 minutes I pulled it off the heat. On a separate
plate I put a cup of chopped cabbage, put 8oz of the flounder on the side, and poured half the
"sauce" over the cabbage and fish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.-Natalie Hodson

Potato, Chive & Leek Frittata

Serves 1:
Ingredients:
1 small potato, peeled & thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
6 oz. liquid egg whites - about 3/4 cups (or 6 egg whites)
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh chives, finely cut
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8-inch ovenproof non-stick skillet with nonstick
spray.
Bring another pan with about 1" water to boil. Reduce heat to med-low and place sliced
potatoes in the pan and cover - steam potatoes about 7-8 min until tender.
Remove potatoes from heat and toss them with the lemon juice & olive oil. Season with salt &
pepper to your liking. Spread the potatoes in the prepared sprayed skillet (or baking pan that's what I use)
Place egg whites in bowl and mix in the chives (I used fresh ones from my garden) and leek can also add more salt & pepper if need be.
Pour the egg white mix into the pan over the potatoes.
Place pan in middle rack of oven for 20 min or until eggs are set.
Run a thin flexible spatula around the edge of the frittata to loosen it. Place a plate over the
pan & invert the frittata (if it doesn't easily slide onto the plate like mine did). VOILA!!! _Sarah

Sweet Potato Slices

Ingredients/Directions:
I had a bunch of sweet potatoes that I needed to use so here is how I prepped them for the
week.
I cut them into slices and sprinkled cinnamon and truvia on top (I cut up 5 sweet potatoes and
only needed to use two packets of truvia). I only did one side but you could flip them and put
the cinnamon/truvia on both sides if you wanted.
I cooked them for about 35 minutes on 350.
Once they were cooled I portioned them out and put them in 5 different ziploc baggies (each
between 4-5 ounces weighed on my food scale) so all I have to do is grab one and go! :) Natalie Hodson

Chicken Sausage, Stuffed Eggplant, and Spaghetti


Squash

Ingredients/Directions:
I put an Onion, ricotta (not on the list but I see it as better for you than cottage cheese, my
opinion), salt, pepper, basil, parsley, olive oil and half cup of oats processed lightly.
Baked the eggplant first then topped with cheese and a touch of parm. Broiled until brown.
The chicken sausage are great, lean and yummy.
Pan seared in onion and garlic then added tomato. The spaghetti squash I baked with some
olive oil salt and pepper. So full! Daria McDermott

Fried Rice

Ingredients/Directions:
Diced mushrooms, shredded zucchini, diced baby carrots, egg whites, brown rice w 1-2 table
spoons of soy sauce for flavoring...I also added a little garlic powder bc I love garlic!
Cook the rice first, in a separate pan cook the egg whites w veggies, when egg whites are
finished add in rice to pan, add in the soy sauce and wah-lah fried rice...the only thing I would
add that i didn't is spinach w the other veggies.
There isn't enough egg whites to count as your protein but you could always dice up some
chicken breast and add to it, that's what I plan to do!- Brittany Griffin

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients/Directions:
Made cauliflower "mashed potatoes" last night to go with my dinner - they were good!
I just steamed the cauliflower in a steamer basket, then put it in the blender. I just kind of
threw things in, so sorry I don't have measurements. But, I put in almond milk, garlic powder,
black pepper, a little balsamic vinegar, stone ground mustard (not everyone might like that, but
I think mustard makes everything taste better! Lol), and plain horseradish (not the horseradish
mixed with oil or mayonnaise). It was soooo good. I could have eaten the entire head of
cauliflower in one sitting. -Natalie Hodson

Chips and Salsa

Ingredients/Directions:
Small meal I created because Ive been craving a salsa-y Mexican-y something, this was
perfect!!
1 fit for life tortilla baked for 10 mins with salsa (1 avocado, 1/4 red onion, 1 tomato, 1 can
organic black beans. all cut up and mixed together) you can also add a tiny bit of lite italian
dressing or olive oil to give a little more flavor...but its healthier plain (and just as yummy!).

Cabbage Rolls
Preheat oven to 350 and use a 13X9 Pyrex dish.
Ingredients:

1 head of Cabbage
either lean ground beef or poultry of your choice
salt (I use sea salt) to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
one small fresh onion
fresh garlic ( to taste) I LOVE a TON of garlic
1 tsp oregano ( dried)
1 tsp basil ( dried)
2 c diced Tomatoes ( Will be dicing them so fresh or canned is fine just make sure
there's nothing added to the canned version. Also if using canned pleas set fluid aside
you may need it!)

Mexican Version:
Add the following:

1 tbsp Chili powder (M)


1 tsp Cumin (M)
OMIT basil

Directions:
Set a pot of water on to boil with a dash of salt. Dice garlic and onion saut in a lightly sprayed
frying pan
Add tomatoes and saut until the juices start to come out then add the meat you chose with
oregano basil. brown the meat on low.
Start taking WHOLE cabbage leaves off and blanching them in the hot water so that they
become soft but not long enough to lose ALL the crunch! About 2 min or less, make in batches
Take the leaves out and put in a colander to drain...
Using a plate fill the leaves and "roll" much like a burrito place in a 13 X9 pyre dish as you
would enchiladas. Repeat till the pan is full.
Cover with cheese of your choice Low fat cheese if you like and place in the oven till the cheese
is melted. * I usually leave mine with no cheese on it. If doing this you don't need to bake.***
Serve with quinoa or brown rice my family INHALES these, even the 5 yr old! -Lena Tognetti

Chicken Artichoke Pizza


Ingredients:

Steamer bag garlic cauliflower


1 stick of shredded string cheese (must be low fat cheese)
2 egg whites
Italian season (grinder)
4 oz cooked chicken breast
3 artichoke hearts
1 T tomato paste
Sprinkle of basil

Directions:
Microwave cauliflower according to package directions, then dump it out onto a clean dishcloth
lined with lots and lots of paper towels.
Next, paper towels on top, fold the dish towel over itself, and press hard to squeeze as much
moisture as you can out of the florets. Really squish them with all your might.
Next, chop up the cauliflower then repeat the squeezing step with fresh paper towels. Get lots
of moisture out until you have something resembling dough then combine cauliflower and egg
whites, and half of the shredded cheese
Spray PAM on baking sheet and mound the cauliflower mixture in the center.
Using damp hands (shake off the excess water), work radically around the cauliflower, pressing
from the center outward to create a thin crust. Be careful that holes don't form, but don't worry
if it seems loose, as when the cheese melts it will help everything hold together. .
Make sure to spread it as thin as you possibly can. It should resemble the thinnest of the thincrust pizzas. If it is too thick it will be very soggy and you'll be stuck eating it with a fork.
Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes. The crust should be browned and perhaps slightly
burnt in some spots around the edges. Do NOT under bake.
Now it's starting to look like a pizza!
Spread on the tomato paste and sprinkle the basil over the paste. Top with chicken, artichoke
and the other half of your cheese (you can always add your own toppings)
Pop it back in the oven for 5 minutes or so.
Voila! There you have it, cauliflower pizza! Crispy, sliceable, and you eat it with your hands -no fork required. -Stephanie Samuels McColly

Grilled Tuna Steak

Ingredients:

2 Tuna Steaks
1 TB Soy Sauce
1 TB Chinese Rice Vinegar

Olive Oil

Directions:
Create a marinade using soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic and ginger. Place the tuna in
marinade and turn to coat. Allow tuna to stay in marinade, refrigerated, for approximately 30
minutes. If marinated too much longer it will become very salty. Remove steak from marinade
and mist both sides with olive oil. Place on an indoor grill for 4-6 minutes until done. It will still
be a little pink in the middle. Take care not to overcook. -Jennifer Karren Lee

3 Red Bell Peppers


2 tsp. Minced Garlic
1TB. Olive Oil
Ginger Powder

Directions:
Sea Salt Wash peppers and put whole pepper on a baking sheet, broil in oven on low until
pepper skin starts to turn black.

Portabella Veggie Pizza

Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, 4 large Portobello mushrooms, 4 cloves of garlic, lemon, 1 leek, 1 onion, fresh
basil, parmigiano reggiano cheese (sorry, no cheese for us), olive oil, salt.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Chop up the onion and add to the pan. Dice the tomato, chop the leek and the garlic, set
aside. When the onions are slightly brown, add the leek, tomatoes and garlic. Saut the
ingredients on medium heat until the tomatoes are tender. Add about 5 leaves of chopped
fresh basil. Squeeze about 1 table spoon of fresh lemon juice over the ingredients
Add the mixed ingredients from the saucepan into each mushroom. Place the baking sheet into
the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes at 400F. Next time I am going to add extra lean
ground turkey meat!! -Alisha Newton

Game Time Chicken Nachos!

I grilled some chicken earlier in the day. When I was ready (1hr before game time) I then
shredded the chicken, and put it in a small pot with some black beans and some McCormicks
taco seasoning (just a few shakes). Then I cut the Fit For Life Brown Rice tortillas into small
triangles, and sprayed with some PAM and seasoned with some red pepper and sea salt. Place
them in the oven at 350 for about 10min or until crunchy. Get some romaine lettuce and shred
that up a little, cut some onion, peppers, Jalapeno's, tomatoes whatever you like on your
nachos. Get your fresh salsa too!
When the chips and chicken are done start building the nachos. I think LAYERS are very
important. 1 layer chips, chicken/beans, veggies and some fresh salsa, then another layer of
chips, chicken/beans etc. Put some Hot Sauce on top if you like and enjoy!!! Really Easy stuff!!

Homemade Spaghetti with Carrots

Many people get intimidated when they hear they should make their own spaghetti sauce. But,
I have a recipe here that is SO easy and takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. It
tastes soooooo much better than the canned spaghetti sauce and is so much better for you
(much less sodium, in fact, almost no sodium). This is all you need (this makes about 4-6
portions):
Ingredients:








(2) 14 oz cans of no/low sodium diced tomatoes or (1) 28 oz can


(2) 14 oz cans no/low sodium tomato sauce or (1) 28 oz can
1 tbsp each of: dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano (if you don't have parsley in
your cupboard its ok you can omit it)
1tsp black pepper
one medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 lbs extra lean ground turkey

Directions:
Combine first five ingredients into a big pot, bring to a boil, then turn down to med-low. Cook
the ground turkey, garlic, and onions on the stovetop (drain any fat) until cooked through .
Season to taste (I use lots of ground pepper and garlic powder).
Add meat mixture to sauce and stir. Add a little water if needed and simmer for 20 min to up
to three hours. Serve over whole-wheat pasta, quinoa, or brown rice.
**Tip** I usually make this in a huge spaghetti pot in bulk (double or triple the recipe) and
then I freeze it in Ziploc baggies. Later, when I want to eat it for a meal I just let the frozen
sauce thaw in a bowl of luke-warm water for about 20 minutes and then heat it up on the stove
or in a microwave. Will last 3 months in the freezer this way. Enjoy! -Natalie Hodson

Enchilada Style Chicken

Directions:
Bake boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the oven for 45 minutes at 350. I put foil down on
an 8x8-glass pan (for easier cleanup).
For the Enchilada Sauce:
Combine one large can of crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and dried or fresh oregano.
Can use low sodium canned enchilada sauce, not on the approved list but the ingredients are
clean.
Next, pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce on top (I had three small chicken breasts - about 12 oz of
chicken total). After the chicken was cooked I just cut it into bite size pieces and put it on a
whole grain tortilla (food for life brand are what Jamie recommends).
Healthy Sour Cream:
Mix about 1.5 tbsp plain Greek yogurt with limejuice and cilantro to taste. Add cut up tomatoes
and onion for a homemade pico de gallo.
If you watch the salt, this is a much healthier version of the cheese-loaded enchiladas we are
used to! Not quite the same, but still pretty dang good! - Natalie Hodson

Beef Stir Fry Stew with Quinoa

Ingredients/Directions:
Throw a pound or so (I had a little more) into a crock pot with a bag of frozen pepper mix (has
onions), a can of organic black beans with juice, a half pint of sliced baby bella mushrooms, a
heaping teaspoon each of cinnamon, chili powder and garlic powder. 1/2 cup of beef stock. I let
it sit for 5 hours on high and made quinoa for the first time. I loved it, husband hated 'these
rice things' however he was slurping the beef 'soup' with a ladle. I added sea salt, a little bit
before serving. - Daria McDermott

Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients/Directions:
Heat oven to 500 degrees, lay some foil (for easier cleanup), then put the cauliflower on. I
drizzled 1 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, pepper, and garlic powder (I like a LOT of garlic!).
It would have tasted even better with fresh garlic, but I was feeling lazy and didn't want to cut
it up :)
I cooked it for 15 -20 min. Honestly, I did not even think it needed the olive oil. Next time I will
probably just do an extra Tbsp of lemon juice instead.
This is going to be a lifesaver for me in phases 2 and 3 when we are eating more veggies at
night. - Natalie Hodson & Kelly Fliller

Guacamole Chicken

Directions:
Chicken with cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, pepper, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes.
Cook in a pan with sliced red pepper and add chicken stock. Then once chicken is cooked add
a can of organic black beans.
While it is cooking..., in a food processor: 2 avocado, 4 garlic cloves, 1 cup of grape tomatoes,
1 yellow onion, juice of 1 lime, a handful of cilantro, salt, pepper and a cap full of organic olive
oil. Pure!
Finish chicken with limejuice and cilantro and pour guacamole sauce on top. Daria McDermott

Clean Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients/Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400.
I started with halving, seeding and removing any white flesh from the inside of a large red bell
pepper and diced it into the tiny pieces you see in the cup above (this yielded a little less than
3/4 cup). Use the rest in a salad the following day.
To clean my stuffing mushroom caps (these are larger white mushrooms, about 14 pieces) I
put them into a bowl with a little bit of water and hand tossed them. Remove the stems and
inside flesh to make room for the filling (reserve). Dry each and remove and remaining soil
traces with a paper towel or clean dish towel.
Pour some olive oil into your hands and give the mushrooms a good massage. Sprinkle with sea
salt and microwave on high for about 1 minute. While they're in the microwave, dice up half of
a large yellow onion and three or four large garlic cloves. Into a hot pan sprayed with organic
cooking spray, a handful of the mushroom stems and some more salt and pepper. Saut on
medium heat until cooked thoroughly. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with
cooking spray. Place each mushroom on the sheet, but be careful as they will be hotter than
you expect from their short visit to the microwave. While these are relaxing on the cookie
sheet, put a soup bowl full (about 1.5 cups) of whole leaf frozen spinach into the microwave for
3-4 minutes. When it's defrosted add it to the pan of peppers. While those incorporate, take
about 1 cup of cottage cheese and add some dried basil, parsley, salt (easy if your cottage
cheese is already salty) and red pepper flakes. Mix the spinach and peppers into the cheese and
stir to thoroughly incorporate. Generously fill each mushroom cap with the cheese mixture and
sprinkle each with a bit of grated fresh parmesan (please don't ever use plastic, I mean cheese,
from a can) as a little goes a long way. You can even use slices or small chunks of fresh
parmesan cheese on top of each.
I baked them for about 25 minutes, watching carefully for the mushrooms to start getting juicy
(nothing worse than a stiff stuffed mushroom) The mushrooms were not only delish, but I
nearly preferred them cold today with my lunch. Maybe the flavors had more time to blend
together. This is a great starting point for a variety of stuffed mushroom recipes (add ground
turkey or organic nitrate free chicken sausage, some sun-dried tomatoes, or maybe a little
homemade pesto).http://dariamcdermott.com/recipes/clean-stuffed-mushrooms.html-Daria

Ingredients/Directions:
I know not everyone likes mixing their foods, but I am a big fan of making bowls! I like to just
throw everything together for one of my 2, 3, or 4 meals. It is super quick. Here I just took
some shredded chicken I had made in the Crockpot earlier in the week (4oz), with 2/3 c. brown
rice (that I had also cooked in bulk earlier in the week), chopped up 1/2 a bell peppers, and 3
spears of asparagus! And, of course, I had to add horseradish mustard to it :) That stuff makes

Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients/Directions:
Yummy Mushrooms! I take the stems out, wash them, and throw them on a pan like so.
Then I add whatever spices I want to them. Put a lid on for a about 5 minutes, or until the
mushrooms have yummy juices in their center. Super yummy by themselves, or with some
grilled chicken! You could use any of your favorite spices. On these ones I used lemon pepper. I
just bought some Mrs. Dash spices today, and plan to make some with one of the flavors I
bought. Any flavor is good though... My husband would put adobo on them, but that has a bit
of salt in it. But anything works. Whatever flavors you like. - Cymony Tarin

and spinach. Can use leftover chicken, microwave for approx. 30 sec.

Chicken Kabobs

Ingredients/Directions:
Cut up 5 lbs chicken breasts and marinate chicken with Dijon mustard, balsamic vinaigrette, and
just a little bit of Stevia (I just mixed it in a bowl until I thought it tasted good) then poured it
over the chicken and put in the fridge to marinate overnight.
Next, cut up 3 bell peppers (2 yellow, 1 orange), 3 yellow squash, 2 large red onions, about 10
baby portabella mushrooms.
You could use any kind of vegetables; these are just the ones I happened to have in my fridge.
Make sure you soak the skewers in water for at least 10 minutes before you put the
veggies/chicken on or else they can burn when you grill them. :)
The key to grilling these is to make sure you turn them while grilling or else they burn pretty
easily.
To save room in your fridge you could even push everything off the skewers and just put it in a
big bowl or a few Tupperware containers and you would be all ready to grab and go for your
meals later. -Natalie Hodson

poured the Egg Whites over it (covered). Cook until done! This made enough for the week
and has both protein and carbs in it not to mention it tastes great! -Sandra Torres

Pan Seared Scallops with Mango-Avocado Salsa

Ingredients/Directions:
Pan-seared scallops, grilled asparagus (dressed with a few drops of balsamic vinegar), and a
little mango-avocado salsa on the side. The only thing I did to the scallops is cook them in a
non-stick pan in a little bit of coconut oil. No seasoning.
For the Salsa:
Cut up one ripe mango, one large tomato, about 1/4 red onion, some chopped parsley, and one
avocado; everything chopped small. Then I drizzled about a teaspoon of olive oil and some
lemon over the whole thing. - Victoria Banales Atxirika

Beef and Quinoa Meatballs


meatballs and about 2 1/2 meatballs measures out to 4 oz total. Enjoy!!
Ingredients/Directions:
1 lb 96% lean ground beef, 3/4 cup cooked quinoa, 1/4 c. finely chopped onion, 1/4 c grated
carrots, 1/4 c grated zucchini, 2 tbls low sugar organic ketchup, 1 tbls chopped garlic, 1 tbls low
sodium soy sauce, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 2
egg whites. I also added 1/2 of a jalapeo finely chopped, and 1/2 of a green bell pepper finely
chopped.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
(you could also use your muffin pans).
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. Shape into balls and roast until cooked through
and golden brown. About 12 - 15 minutes. (Note: To cook quinoa, bring 1 cup water to boil.
Pour in 1/2 cup quinoa, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, 10 - 12 minutes. Set aside
off of the heat for 10 minutes then fluff with a fork. Makes about 1 1/2 cups) - I used 96% lean
ground beef, but I plan to use chicken and turkey as well. I made 17 Christy Garcia Vernor

Simple Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry

Directions:

Marinate chicken breast for about 6 hours (you could go longer or shorter depending on
how much flavor you want) in low sodium teriyaki sauce; then threw it on the grill. I do
about 15 minutes per side depending on thickness of chicken breasts on medium heat.
Then I took out a package of frozen stir fry veggies (this one is sugar snap peas,
carrots, pepper and onion) and cooked it in a pan with a little more teriyaki sauce to
flavor it.
While that is cooking you just cut up the chicken breasts into thinner, smaller pieces and
about two minutes before the veggies are done (follow packaging instructions) just
throw the chicken in and keep stirring! Came out good and I had a ton of leftovers.
Low Sodium Teriyaki Sauce still has a bit of sodium so use as sparingly as possible! Jackie Slomin

Sweet Potato and Zucchini Mini Frittata

Prep Time: 5-10 minutes


Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients (Makes 2 servings):

12 egg whites
1 sweet potato, baked and diced
1/2 onion (I used a red onion, but you could use any kind), diced
1 zucchini, finely grated
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme (this is a strong herb so be careful not to use too much)
Fresh Basil (chopped) would have been awesome in this recipe! But, I didn't have any
on hand and didn't want to run to the store just for basil :)

Directions:
**Note** I bake a whole bunch of sweet potatoes at once, cut them in half, and just keep
them in ziplog baggies in the fridge so when I need a quick carb it is ready to go. To cook
potatoes poke with holes and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a muffin tin with non-stick olive oil spray. First I
sauted the onions for 1-2 minutes using non-stick olive oil cooking spray until they were a little
soft.
In a medium bowl I mixed the egg whites, sweet potato chunks, sauted onion, grated
zucchini, and spices. I then used a small measuring cup to spoon the mixture into the tins
(might be a little messy because the eggs whites sort of goop together sometimes). With this
recipe you should be able to fill 8-10 tins (varies depending on size of potato, onion, zucchini,
and depth of tins). Wipe off any extra egg whites on pan and cook for 25 minutes. 4-5 mini
frittatas = one serving.
Those who know me, know that I love ketchup on pretty much anything so I also used some
reduced-fat ketchup on the side. Really good and filling! -Natalie Hodson

3 slices of sprouted bread - such as Ezeikel


1 Tb. Finely chopped fresh basil
4 Roma tomatoes
1 Bulb of roasted garlic*
Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. Red wine vinegar
Sea salt and Black pepper

Directions:
*Roast garlic in oven by removing the outer layer of skin from the bulb and drizzling the cloves
with olive oil. Wrap in foil and place in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until tender. Peel the
remaining skin, mash the garlic cloves and set aside.
Blanche tomatoes and remove the skin. Finely chop tomatoes. In a small bowl add fresh basil,
red wine vinegar, chopped tomatoes and a dash or two of sea salt and black pepper. stir well.
Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors blend while preparing the bread.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread a thin layer of mashed garlic over one side of the bread,
cut small slits in the bread to help the flavor permeate the bread. Brush the tops of the bread
with olive oil and place oiled side down on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven, on the top rack,
until golden brown. Cut bread into fourths. Top tomato mixture and serve.
*Pictured here are some I made some by putting a dollop of cottage cheese on the bread and
then topping with the tomato mixture. -Jennifer Karren Lee

Crock Pot Chicken

Ingredients/Directions:
I made a whole chicken in my crock pot yesterday that was so easy and I wanted to share. I
used a homemade rub recipe that I can't remember if I got from here or somewhere else, but
the awesome part is how I cooked it.
I used a 5 quart crock pot and wrapped up several small sweet potatoes and lined the bottom
of the crock pot with them. I rinsed the chicken and patted it dry, rubbed the outside and inside
of the chicken with the rub that I made, quartered an onion and placed it inside the cavity and
halved 2 stalks of celery and placed them inside.
Then I placed it in a dish, covered it with plastic wrap and refrigerated it overnight. The next
morning I took the chicken out, placed it on top of the sweet potatoes breast side down and
cooked on low for 8.5 hours.
Placing the chicken on top of the wrapped sweet potatoes made a rotisserie style cooking
method that kept the chicken juicy because it wasn't touching the crock pot anywhere. And the
sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked so all I had to do was unwrap, peel and mash them up.
I threw some roasted broccoli on and we had one of the easiest, tastiest meals I've had in a
long time!
*FYI this is not the actual picture, just one I found online that looked similar to what I made -I used sweet potatoes and this pic has yukon potatoes-Holly Eversole Eubanks

Chocolate Protein Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 Stevia in the Raw


2 Large Egg Whites
2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1.75 C Homemade Oat Flour (I used regular Quaker Oats, not instant to make 2 Cups
total, keep extra handy in the event your dough is a little runny)
2 Tbsp. Ground Flax
2 Tbsp. Chia Seeds
2 Scoops Jay Robb Chocolate Whey (or your favorite chocolate whey protein)
1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1 Packet Instant Coffee
3 Tbsp. Slivered Almonds
1 Baker's Square of Unsweetened Chocolate

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix mashed bananas, baby food and Stevia in the Raw
In a stand mixer, add eggs and vanilla extract, continue to blend. Put the single square (one
serving) of baking chocolate into a blender to chop, keep it somewhat chunky.
Combine all dry ingredients and incorporate slowly into wet on low. If your batter is a little
runny, add a bit more oat flour.
Note that it won't look like cookie dough, so only add oat flour if it's watery. Add the chopped
up chocolate last and freeze the mixture for 10 minutes.
Using a small ice cream scooper make uniform balls and scoop 1.5 Tbsp balls out onto a Silpat
mat lined cookie sheet. Bake for 16-18 minutes, 20 if you like a crunchy cookie. Dont be
intimidated by how little batter is on the cookie sheet. - Daria McDermott

Chocolate Lava Cake

This is Natalie Hodson's recipe. I just had to repost to show you that it really does turn out like

chocolate almond milk.
Directions:
I stirred in glass bowl until mixed thoroughly and I heated in the bowl for 1.5 mins in the
microwave. I then turned it out on a plate because I couldn't believe it was really a cake! You
must try this! Thanks Natalie! -Cheri Colon

Chocolate Orange Egg Whites

Ingredients:

6 egg whites
1/3-ish cup of almond milk (just eyeballed it)
1 packet Truvia
1 heaping Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (you could use regular or special
dark)

Directions:
*Mix all above ingredients in a microwaveable bowl. It will take a while to stir together because
the unsweetened cocoa powder takes a while to mix in (at least two minutes of mixing or you
could just throw everything in the blender).
Put in microwave. I cooked mine in 1-minute increments. I would cook for 1 minute, stir. Cook
for another minute, stir. Etc. I cooked it for a total of 3 minutes 20 seconds. You could also
cook it on the stovetop if you are anti-microwave, but I like doing egg whites in the microwave
sometimes because it makes them fluffy.
After done cooking I add one teaspoon (I just eyeballed it, but I'm pretty sure it was about a
teaspoon) of orange extract (I had this in my cupboard from when I made Jamie's biscotti
recipe).
Mix together thoroughly. After mixed sprinkle one more packet of Truvia on top (if desired). I'm
not joking, this tasted SO much like those chocolate oranges you get at Christmas time. This
was really, really good. :) -Natalie Hodson

Egg White Dessert

Ingredients/Directions:
Yum!!! I made this tonight for Meal 6. I call it "Egg White Dessert" lol. I just took 6 egg whites
(actually, sorry, there are seven here because my two-year old always steals a few bites of my
egg whites at night, but you would just use 6). Put the egg whites in the blender. That is the
most important step to making sure this tastes really good and not egg-y. Blend the egg whites
with about 1/3 c. almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used MRM), and about 1 tbsp
cinnamon. Blend for at least 60 seconds until mixed really well. Spray a little non-stick cooking
spray in your pan then pour the liquid mixture in pan. Cook really well until the center is pretty
done and you are able to flip it like a pancake. Cook the other side until done. Now for the
really yummy part. Mix 1 tbsp natural peanut butter with a little bit of almond milk (maybe
about 1 tbsp or so) and about 1/3 to 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder (I used MRM because
it is what I had, but any brand would work). Mix those three ingredients together in a small
bowl until smooth. Spread over your egg whites. This tasted so good! I felt like I was having
some kind of great peanut butter dessert. There is a lot of whey protein in this on top of the
egg white protein, so actually you could probably cut the number of egg whites and the amount
of PB down a little if you wanted. -Natalie Hodson

No-Bake Cookies

Directions:
Two scoops of vanilla protein powder, enough cocoa powder to make it chocolate but not too

Ingredients:

1

oz of water (or unsweetened almond milk)


scoop chocolate protein powder
T of natural peanut butter
or 2 packets of Stevia

Directions:
Blend in a blender or magic bullet and pour in muffin tins and freeze makes 6 and you can eat
all 6! - Andrea West Miller
Mexican Mocha option: Another option that tastes (and looks) similar to this is to use frozen
egg whites. Put 6 pasteurized egg whites, a dash of unsweetened almond milk, about 1 tbsp
cinnamon, and 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein in the blender. Blend it for about 30 seconds then
pour the mixture in 6 muffin tins and stick it in the freezer. Freeze for about 3 hours or so.
No Protein Powder option: If you are trying to cut out protein powder here is another way I
eat these: Mix 6 egg whites (pasteurized), a dash of almond milk, 1 heaping Tbsp of
unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 packets of truvia. Freeze the same way as above. Let them sit
for about 3 minutes and they will be a lot easier to get out. - Natalie Hodson

Chocolate Melting Cake

If I am craving a sweet treat I like to mix one scoop of vanilla whey protein (my favorite flavor
is MRM brand) with about 1/3-ish cup of almond milk, one heaping Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
powder, and a packet of truvia. I mix it up really well (might take a minute or two because the
cocoa powder never seems to want to mix with the almond milk at first). Then I put it in the
microwave for 60 to 80 seconds. If I eat it right away it reminds me of chocolate melting cake!

Crust-less Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients:

24 oz peeled uncooked sweet potatoes


1/2 of a 16 oz bag of frozen cauliflower
1 carton (16 oz) egg whites
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1T cinnamon/ pumpkin pie spice ( I like a lot)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon extract

Directions:
Cut sweet potatoes into small cubes and boil for 20 or so minutes until tender. Drain and add
cauliflower for about 10 min until tender.
Cool slightly, then munch sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and balsamic vinegar in a food processor.
Add egg whites, applesauce, spices, and extracts and mix well.
Pour mixture into an 8x13 baking dish sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Sprinkle liberally
with cinnamon on top.
Bake 350 for about 20-30 minutes. It will puff and crack on the top. You'll know it's done when
it stops jiggling when you shake it:).
I divide this recipe into 6 servings, but you could divide into as many as you like.
I love it because it's a variation on egg whites, and the cauliflower is so well hidden, you can't
even taste it! Just make sure you have a great food processor.
It takes a while to complete this recipe, but I have done it over the course of a whole day in
stages and it works fine that way. Great substitute for pumpkin pie too, although that might
need a bit of xylitol! -Megan Holloway

spoon of vanilla whey, 1 tsp. PB2 (optional), truvia, and a little almond milk to make liquid and
stir, heat for 20-30 seconds, then drizzle mixture over egg whites. I put a tsp. of PB on top

Healthy "Ice Cream"!!!

Ingredients/Directions:
Fill a large zip lock bag with ice and add a 1/2 cup of table salt. Then in a measuring cup, pour
1 cup of almond milk (I like unsweetened Almond Breeze), 1/2 tsp vanilla and 2 tbsp of a

smaller zip lock bag and seal it tight. Place the small bag inside the larger bag, seal and then
shake vigorously for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture hardens.
Tip: use oven mitts to keep your hangs from getting to cold as you shake the bag. Also,
consider adding cinnamon, cocoa or instant coffee to the mixture for variety. Enjoy!

Protein Shakes and Smoothies


Coffee Protein Shake
Ingredients:

1-2 tbsp Instant Coffee (I used Nestle Hazelnut flavored coffee)


approx. 1/4 - 1/3 c boiling water
1 tsp sweetener (I used Splenda, even though it's bad for you, but Stevia or Truvia
would be best)
1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
1/2 c non-fat Greek yoghurt (I used a non-flavored one, but I bet vanilla would taste
great too!)
1 tsp ground flax seeds - optional: a few drops of either hazelnut or vanilla extract.

Directions:
Mix instant coffee into boiling water and add sweetener. Wait for it to cool. In a Magic Bullet,
or any other blender, mix all the ingredients including the now cooled down coffee, until you
have reached a nice smoothie consistency. Serve as is, or over ice, and enjoy. You can try
blending ice cubes with it. -Katarzyna Ciecierska

Summer Protein Smoothies

Smoothies can be a great way to get your veggies in!


Every time I make a protein shake I put in a huge handful of spinach.
You can't even taste the spinach and get a ton of fiber and nutrients by doing this. Just make
sure you blend it up really well and drink it right away (within 7-10 minutes).
Sometimes if you let the shake sit too long the spinach will settle, separate and rise to the top.

1.5 scoops chocolate protein powder


1 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 large handfuls fresh spinach or kale

because peppermint extract is super strong. The recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder,
but honestly I don't even think you need it. It tastes so good and is really refreshing! You don't
taste the spinach at all! - Natalie Hodson

Tips
Helpful Tip!

After I bake my chicken I let it cool, then weighed it out into 4oz and 6oz portions, and put
each portion in a Ziploc bag with "4" or "6" written on the bag.
Easy to grab and go during the week!
I used a blue marker so it is hard to see the number, but you can see the four on the bag on
the right hand side pretty clearly. -Natalie Hodson

Helpful Tip!

I'm not a huge fan of cutting veggies every morning for my egg white scramble (too time
consuming) so I usually just cut up enough veggies for the week and keep them in a ziploc bag.
This is an example of what I did for this week (red onion, red and orange bell peppers,
mushrooms) but sometimes I will add other veggies like asparagus.
I also add spinach to my scrambles, but don't put them in this bag, because it is super easy to
just grab a handful out of the bag of spinach.
I also like to put in diced jalapenos (I buy the jar of sliced jalapenos and just cut them up even
smaller - usually I use two slices for 6 egg whites) but I don't pre-cut those because it's hard to
find them in the big bag of veggies once they are cut up. -Natalie Hodson

LiveFit Recipe Collection

Page 139

TIP! Use Arrowroot as a Thickener

If you have never used Arrowroot, you might consider purchasing it the next time you go
grocery shopping.
It's awesome for thickening sauces instantly. For example, soy sauce is very runny, but if you
dress it up and then add a little arrowroot, it suddenly gets thick enough to stick to the food.
I like to use it to dress up my meat and vegetables, stir-fry style (adding the sauce at the end).
-Jamie Eason

Helpful Tip: Pre-Cut Chicken

Here is one tip I have found is really helpful for me.


Sometimes I like to have my chicken hot and freshly cooked, not just warmed up chicken that I
made earlier in the week. So, what I usually do is buy the larger "bulk" packages of chicken
(they are cheaper that way). Then I cut off all the excess fat and tendons, then cut the breasts
into little strips and keep them in the fridge this way.
This way it is really easy to take a few strips out (4 or 6 oz depending on the meal), put on my
fav seasonings (usually one of the Mrs. Dash seasoning), spray some non-stick olive oil spray
on my pan, and cook it up in just a few minutes! This is about 9lbs of chicken. -Natalie Hodson

LiveFit Recipe Collection

Page 140

Helpful Tip: Pre-Cracked Eggs

Just a helpful tip....I work out in the morning and really try to get whole foods before I workout
instead of just a protein shake.
Sometimes I will pre-crack my eggs so all I have to do is throw this in the skillet with my
veggies.
Here are 6 egg whites, 1 whole egg, and 1/4 c. oats mixed together.
I put it in an air-tight container so it doesn't take on the smell or flavor of anything else in the
fridge. In the morning it just takes less than 5 minutes to cook up my eggs and I am good to
go!
FYI, this is for the carb cycle. On a regular day I dont have the full egg and I also eat 1/3 c.
oats and I eat it on the side usually with berries mixed in-Natalie Hodson
