This nut butter is fantastic paired with bananas on toasted Ezekiel bread, or blended into a smoothie.  You can also use it as a dip for fruit, or as frosting for sugar-free cupcakes or brownies. Of course, you can always just lick it straight off the spoon…um, yeah!

Instructions
  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.
  11. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the chocolate.
  13. Melt the chocolate chips on a double boiler. {Boil some water in a small sauce pan and place a large glass bowl on top of the pot. Add the chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir constantly until evenly melted, then remove from the heat.}
  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!
Recipe Notes

Lily's Dark Chocolate Baking Chips are sweetened with Stevia and can be found at HEB, Whole Foods, etc.

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

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.

Simple Chicken and Veggie Soup
Dec 1

Simple Chicken and Veggie Soup

By ·

This soup is great for the start of a new year when you need to begin a healthy meal reset. You should always have some on hand in the freezer, maybe prepped in individual portions for those times when you need to “start over” OR when you feel a cold coming on.  Why?  Because this dish is loaded with chicken for protein and lots of veggies for bonus nutrition. It is also particularly “lemony,” so it includes a huge vitamin C boost!!

This is also a great recipe to make your own…add other veggies or some potatoes. Don’t like that much lemon taste? Then, reduce the lemon.

This is a great “EDGE MEAL” due to its low-carb, low-fat, and VERY high-protein. Check out the Nutrition Fact Label below.

  1. Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, add the onions and stir until translucent. Then add the celery, carrots, garlic, and bell pepper. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables start to brown a bit around the edges.
  2. Add the chicken, broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Pull the chicken from the pot and shred with two forks or with the paddle attachment of a stand mixer. Add the chicken back to the pot then stir in the kale. Cook for 2-3 minutes until kale is fully wilted.
  4. Add the lemon juice and then taste soup for seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Spoon into individual bowls and serve!
Recipe Notes

NOTE:  The BEST time to add greens is towards the very end of the cooking process. That way, they'll maintain their bright green color.

Salmon With Crispy Kale and Cabbage
Dec 1

Salmon With Crispy Kale and Cabbage

By ·

This recipe is crisp, lemony and ridiculously fast and easy to put together. It’s a one-pan meal of salmon, kale, and cabbage, so it is chocked-full of vitamins and minerals! The greens are wilted and have a slightly crisp texture to the edges that’s not unlike a kale chip. The salmon cooks through perfectly so that it’s just barely flaky, while retaining its suppleness. And that mustard and dill dressing just ties it all together. YUM!
