  1. Start by grating zucchini, (leave peel on) then squeeze out any excess water using a paper towel or kitchen towel.
  2. Toss grated zucchini and all other ingredients together in a medium bowl, mixing until combined.
  3. To bake in the oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet pan with foil, and spray with cooking spray. Use a small ice cream scoop or a heaping tablespoon to scoop mixture into balls. Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until centers are cooked through. Remove pan from the oven, lightly spray with cooking spray, and place pan under the oven broiler for an additional 3-5 minutes or until balls are browned on top.
  4. To cook on the stovetop: Spray a medium pan with nonstick cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Use a small ice cream scoop or a heaping tablespoon to scoop mixture into balls. Place balls in pan, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
  5. Serve with guacamole, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce if desired.

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, prepare seasoning mixture and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on one side. (You will know it is time to flip when the sides/edges facing the pan start to turn white.) Flip and cook on opposite side until chicken is golden brown.
  3. Add half of the seasoning mixture and one tablespoon of lemon juice to the skillet of chicken. Toss the chicken in the mixture, and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through, approximately an additional 1-2 minutes. (Center of larger pieces should register 165 degrees). Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add the zucchini and squash to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Season with the rest of the seasoning mixture, two tablespoons of water, and two tablespoons of lemon juice.
  5. Cook, tossing occasionally until just tender, about 4 minutes. (Note: If pan doesn’t seem big enough to cook the zucchini easily, you could always cook 1/2 at a time. Also, if you desire your zucchini to be more tender and you find it is burning, add 2-4 more tablespoons of water.)
  6. Return chicken to pan with zucchini and squash. Garnish with one tablespoon of lemon zest and parmesan cheese and toss together. Sprinkle with additional parmesan and parsley if desired.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and evenly spread the shredded coconut over the sheets.
  3. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, removing and stirring every 5 minutes.
  4. Separate 4 egg whites into a bowl and add the pinch of salt.
  5. Beat the eggs on high until almost stiff peaks are formed.
  6. Slowly add in the heated honey about 1 tsp at a time, beating simultaneously.
  7. Once all the honey is added, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks are formed. {Note: stiff peaks are marked by when you shake the beaters and the peaks of egg white foam do not move or wiggle.}
  8. Fold in the cooled and toasted unsweetened coconut with a large spatula.
  9. Line the baking sheets with more parchment paper.
  10. Using a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, spoon the egg white/coconut mixture into the bag filling towards one corner. Cut the corner of the bag off. {Note: an actual pastry bag works, too.} Squeeze about 1 tablespoon dollops onto the baking sheet.

  14. When the cookies are cooled, dip the bottom into chocolate and set on parchment paper.
  15. Set the chocolate by placing the cookies in the refrigerator. This should take about 30 minutes.
  16. Plate and enjoy!

HOW TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH

 

 

 

 

Remove the seeds first and disgard. (You can also clean them and cook just as you would pumpkin seeds!)

Using a fork, loosen the ’spaghetti’ strands from the inside of the squash, scraping them into a bowl or onto a plate.

You can then store them for later use in a recipe calling for pasta (see below.)

Low Carb Smoothie
Dec 11

Low Carb Smoothie

By ·

This is a great low-carb smoothie. Use this as a go-to recipe for the EDGE meal plans for breakfast-on-the-go. Coconut milk contains a beneficial fat called lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that’s easily absorbed and used by the body for energy. Chia seeds (soaked in 3 tablespoons of water for 10 minutes), contain essential fatty acids, plus vitamins A, B, E and D and minerals including iron, magnesium, niacin and thiamine. The nut butter adds some healthy fat, plus needed creaminess and texture.  (I recommend that you avoid peanut butter.) The cacao nibs will actually improve muscle structure and enhance nerve function due to their nutritional content. Of course, we’ve all heard about the benefits of avocado and coconut oil and all their “healthy fats.”  They also give this smoothie a delicious, creamy texture.  Finally, top it off with some cinnamon, which is great for blood sugar, and you are ready to go!

  1. Wash and dry lettuce leaves well. Lay out four large lettuce leaves and layer on 1 slice of turkey on each. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each piece of turkey. Layer on a second slice of turkey, followed by the bacon, and a few slices of the avocado and tomato.
  2. Season each lettuce wrap lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Fold the bottom up, the sides in, and roll like a burrito. Slice each wrap in half, if desired.
Recipe Notes

You could swap the turkey out with shredded chicken or lean ham.
You might want to sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice to keep it from browning.
