Steak and Zucchini Horseradish Alfredo
Serves 4 Per serving: 3 green, 1 lean, ~2.25 condiments

6 cups zucchini noodles (about 2 large zucchinis)


1½ lbs raw skirt steak, thinly sliced
¼ cup chicken or vegetable broth
½ tsp potato starch
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tsp horseradish
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp soy sauce
¼ tsp each- salt & pepper

Directions
1. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 4-5 minutes. You want the pan to be really hot before you add the steak.
Coat the steak with Pam and sprinkle with lots of salt and pepper then add the steaks to the hot pan. You want to
hear a sizzle when the steaks touch the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip then cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the
steaks from the pan and set them aside to rest.

2. Lower the heat to medium and spray pan with Pam.

3. In a separate bowl, stir together the stock and potato starch and add the mixture to the pan. Whisk the stock and
scrape up any steak bits in the bottom of the pan. The mixture thickens for around 1 minute then add the almond
milk, horseradish, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Let the sauce thicken for around 10 minutes, whisking
occasionally.

4. While the sauce is thickening, prepare the zucchini noodles. Using a julienne peeler or a very sharp knife, peel
the zucchini to create noodle shaped slices. When you get to the seeds of the zucchini, stop peeling.

5. When the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, add the zucchini noodles. Combine the
sauce and the zucchini noodles and cook the mixture for another 2 minutes, just to lightly cook the zucchini. Place
the noodles on a plate and top with slices of the steak.

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

1 lb 93% ground chicken (2 1/4 Lean)


1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (4 Condiments)
1/4 tsp pepper (1/2 Condiment)
1/2 tsp garlic salt (2 Condiments)
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (1 Condiment)
1/4 tsp onion powder (1/2 Condiment)
3/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese, divided (3/4 Lean)
1 1/2 cups Great Value Italian diced tomatoes, divided (3 Greens)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly spray a 13 x 9 inch glass dish with cooking spray.

Blend diced tomatoes in a blender or small chopper to resemble tomato sauce or until desired consistency.
Combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, and spices. Add half of the mozzarella cheese (1.5 oz or 1/4 cup plus 2
tbsp). Measure out 3 tbsp of tomato sauce and add to the ground chicken mixture until completely combined.

Form into meatballs. Since this recipe makes three servings, I made twenty-one meatballs. It is so much easier to
divide the meatballs evenly when they are in increments of three such as 15, 18, 21, and so on.

Place meatballs in prepared glass dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

Spread tomato sauce over meatballs and sprinkle with the leftover mozzarella cheese.

Broil until cheese is melted. Divide the meatballs into 3 servings. Enjoy!

3 Servings with 1 Lean, 1 Green (need 2 more!) and 2.6 Condiments per serving

1/8 tsp salt (1/2 Condiment)
1/8 tsp pepper (1/4 Condiment)
2 tsp olive oil (1 Healthy Fat)
6 oz seasoned ground turkey 94-97% (1 Leaner)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick squash with fork or metal skewer and roast in oven for an hour or until it seems
soft when you press on it. Take it out and leave on the counter until cool.

When squash is cool, cut in half and scoop out the seeds and discard. Use a fork or spoon to scoop out the rest of
the squash and set aside in a bowl. Measure out 4 cups of spaghetti squash and store the rest in the fridge. Add oil
to a skillet over medium heat. Saute the 4 cups of squash for a few minutes until it begins to brown. Add garlic
powder, salt and pepper, if desired.

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, egg beaters and 4 oz or 1 cup of mozzarella cheese together.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour 1 cup of the diced tomatoes on the bottom of a 9 inch or 8 inch square casserole
dish and spread evenly. Add squash. Top the squash with the ricotta cheese mixture. Then top the ricotta cheese
mixture with the cooked ground turkey. Spread 1 cup of diced tomatoes over the meat. Bake for 35 minutes. Spread
the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the top (1 cup) and bake an additional 25 minutes until cheese is melted and
lightly brown. Let rest for 10 minutes or so to serve.

Italian Chicken Bake

Ingredients:

12 ounces shredded chicken breasts, cooked (2 Leaner Leans)


1 tsp dried basil (1/2 Condiment)
1/2 tsp dried oregano (1/2 Condiment)
3/4 cup Rao's marinara sauce (3 Greens)
6 wedges of light laughing cow cheese - any flavor will do (3 Healthy Fats)

2/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2/3 Lean)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (4 Condiments)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


Lightly spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Place shredded chicken at the bottom of prepared dish. Sprinkle
basil and oregano over shredded chicken breasts. Use any additional garlic powder, salt, or pepper to season your
chicken if it isn't seasoned already. I used store bought rotisserie chicken so it was already seasoned. Combine light
laughing cow cheese and yogurt in a small bowl. You may need to microwave the laughing cow cheese for about
10 to 15 seconds to soften it up a bit so that it blends easier with the yogurt. Spread yogurt mixture over chicken.
Then spread marinara sauce over yogurt mixture. Top with parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Bake for about
25 to 30 minutes or until the casserole begins to bubble and cheese is melted. Divide into three equal portions.

2 tbsp Hidden Valley Light Ranch Dressing (1 Healthy Fat)
1 tsp Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce (0.33 Condiments)

Preheat Oven to 350. Finely crush the Parmesan puffs into a bread-crumb consistency - use food processor or just
whack the heck out of the (already opened) bag with something heavy. Mix the Parmesan cheese with the processed
Parmesan puffs and pour crumb mixture into a plastic Ziploc bag. Set aside.

Cut Chicken Breast into approximately 1 inch cubes/chunks. Combine chicken with 1 tbsp of Frank's Hot Wing
Sauce, tossing until combined. Place the coated chicken (let excess sauce drip off chicken before placing in bag)
into the Ziploc bag with the crumb mixture and shake the bag, making sure the chicken is completely coated with
the crumbs.

Put the crumb coated chicken cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (etc.) and bake for
approximately 25-30 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your oven, but I used my oven light and kept

Cheese, Mushroom and Spinach Cauliflower Crust Calzone

Makes 4 servings
Per serving
1 ½ ounces protein
3 vegetables
1 condiment
1 fat

Ingredients

Cauliflower Crust
1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets (should yield 3 cups of cauliflower rice)
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup / 1.7 oz / 50 gr shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Filling
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 8 oz package sliced crimini (baby bella) mushrooms
1 garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups baby spinach
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease
it with olive oil. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms
are brown, stirring every so often, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and oregano and cook for 1 further minute. Add
spinach stirring just until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set
aside.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and add egg, mozzarella, oregano, sea salt and pepper. Mix well.
Using your hands, press the mixture onto the baking sheet and shape into four discs (diameter should be about 4
inches). Place in the oven and bake for 10 (no more no less, 10 minutes).
Remove from the oven and, working quickly, top with a bit of mozzarella cheese, then mushroom mixture,
distributing evenly. Sprinkle some more mozzarella over mushrooms. Using a large spatula carefully lift the half of
the disc without filling and fold it over the other part (that’s ok if the disc brakes a bit). Use your fingers to push the
edges of each calzone together and seal in the filling. Bake in the oven for an additional 12 minutes. Serve hot!

Mexican Ground Beef Casserole

Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups spaghetti squash, cooked (9 Greens)
1 can Rotel tomatoes (2 1/2 Greens)
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped (1/2 Green)
1.25 pounds 93% lean ground beef (3 Leans)
2/3 cup shredded 2% reduced fat Mexican style cheese (2/3 Lean)

1/2 tsp chili powder (1 Condiment)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium sized bowl, combine enchilada sauce, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and chili powder. Stir until
combined. It is okay if the mixture is a little lumpy from the cream cheese. The cream cheese will eventually melt
when combined with the warm ground beef and spaghetti squash. Set aside.
Over medium high heat, add ground beef, chopped green peppers, and can of Rotel tomatoes to a large skillet. Cook
until ground beef is no longer pink and green pepper is tender. Drain meat of all fat and liquid.
Add spaghetti squash and enchilada sauce to the ground beef mixture. Stir until everything is combined.
Pour the mixture into a casserole dish. I used a deep 9 inch square casserole dish. Top with Mexican style cheese.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Pizza Casserole
Makes 5 servings

Per serving
1 Lean protein
1 1/2 vegetables
¾ condiment

Ingredients:
1 can (14.5 oz.) low sodium diced tomatoes (do not use petite dice)
18 ounces uncooked turkey Italian sausage
Non-stick pan spray
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp fresh-ground pepper
12 oz. fresh mushrooms, washed and cut into thick slices (I used brown Cremini mushrooms.)
1 3/4 cups grated Mozzarella cheese (I used part-skim mozzarella)
15 slices turkey pepperoni, cut in half

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Spray an 8 inch x 11 inch glass casserole dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Pour the diced tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and rinse with cold water. Let tomatoes drain a minute or
two, then spread them out on paper towels to dry (or blot dry with another paper towel on top.) While tomatoes dry,
heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan, squeeze the sausage out of the casing, and cook sausage over
medium-high heat until it's nicely browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. (I use an old-fashioned potato masher to
break the sausage apart.)

While sausage cooks, wash mushrooms, pat dry, and slice into thick slices. When the sausage is done make a layer
of sausage in the bottom of the casserole dish and top with the drained tomatoes, spreading them out over the top of
the sausage. Season with dried oregano, salt, and fresh-ground black pepper. (I didn't use much salt.)

Rinse out the pan if needed, then heat the other 2 tsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add
the mushrooms and cook, stirring a few times, until all the liquid is released and the mushrooms are starting to
brown. Layer the mushrooms over the sausage-tomato mixture. Cut pepperoni in half. Sprinkle the grated
Mozzarella over the top of the casserole and lay the pepperoni pieces on top of the cheese, spacing them evenly so
the whole top is covered with pepperoni. Bake about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
Serve hot.

CROCKPOT SALSA CHICKEN
(adapted from Jo Cooks)

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cups salsa
• 1 cup shredded cheese, Mexican blend

Directions:
1. Place whole chicken breasts in your crockpot and pour the salsa over it. Cook anywhere from 1½ to 2 hours on
high, you don't want to cook it longer because it will start falling apart.
2. Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.
3. Take a 8x8 baking dish or 9x13, depends how big your chicken breasts are, mine were fairly small, you can spray
it with cooking spray if you want, but I didn't, and carefully place the chicken in the dish. Spoon some of the
leftover salsa (from the crockpot) over the chicken and sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
4. Bake for 15 minutes or until it's nice and golden brown, and you'll see the sauce and cheese bubbling.

1 egg
1 tsp prepared mustard (1/3 Condiment)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce (2 Condiments)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (1/2 Condiment)

Directions:
Lightly oil the grill and heat the grill to medium.
Whisk egg with next five ingredients in a medium bowl.
Crumble in beef and use your hands or a fork to gently mix together. Handle the meat as little as possible. The more
you work it, the tougher it gets.
Gently shape (don't firmly press) mixture into burgers about 3/4 inch thick.
Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the center of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Place burgers on the grill and close the lid. Grill until no longer pink inside, turning once, about 6 to 8 minutes per
side.
An instant read thermometer should read 160 F. Don't abuse your burger by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a
fork, or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!

Crockpot Creamy Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 (28 oz) cans whole Roma Tomatoes
1 (32 oz) carton vegetable broth
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
2 bay leaves
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ cup heavy cream (I would use fat-free)
¼ cup Parmesan, shredded, for serving
Directions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until browned. Pour mixture into a crockpot
along with tomatoes, vegetable broth, basil, bay leaves. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Cover crockpot and
cook on low 6-7 hours or high 3-3 ½ hours. (You could also cook this in a stock pot for about 45 minutes to an
hour.)
Remove bay leaves then puree mixture well with a blender. If your crockpot doesn’t keep all the moister in well
while cooking, you may need to add in ½ cup water or so at this point. This helps make sure the soup isn’t too
thick. Reduce heat to warm, stir in heavy cream. Serve topped with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Makes 8 servings
Per serving: 2 ½ vegetable servings, 3 condiments, ¾ fat serving (will need to serve with a leaner meat and ¼ more

Monterey Chicken
Ingredients:
2-9 ounce chicken breasts, boneless skinless
¼ cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup Monterey/cheddar blend cheese
4 slices Jennie-O Extra Lean turkey bacon
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ cup sugar free BBQ sauce
Directions:
Before we start grilling, cut turkey bacon into medium pieces and cook it in a skillet over medium low heat until
crispy. Set aside.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and the dried spices. Heat grill over high heat for at least 5 minutes.
Grease grates, place chicken on grill over medium heat. Let cook until almost done. When chicken has an internal
temperature of 150 degrees, baste with BBQ sauce on both sides and continue cooking until it reaches an internal
temperature of 165 degrees. (Don't baste the chicken as soon as it hits the grill or else the BBQ sauce will burn.)
When chicken is cooked through, place half of the turkey bacon on top of each piece. Mix the cheeses together and
spread evenly over each piece.
Place top of grill down and let the cheese melt, this will only take a couple minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients:
•7 oz Salmon Fillet (raw weight) (5 oz cooked weight)
•1 tsp McCormick Grill Mates Fiery 5 Pepper Seasoning
•1 medium zucchini, sliced (90 grams cooked weight)
•2 slices of eggplant (100 grams cooked weight)

Spray tin foil with a bit of non-stick cooking spray. Put salmon skin side down on a piece of tin foil big enough to
wrap around the fillet. Sprinkle 1 tsp of McCormick Grill Mates Fiery 5 Pepper Seasoning on fillet. Join the long
sides of the foil together up and around the salmon completely. Fold the foil sides together to create a seal and
prevent them from coming apart.
Arrange zucchini slices and eggplant slices on a grill basket. Sprinkle with black pepper.
Put the salmon and grill basket with vegetables in it on your BBQ grill and close the lid to your grill. Check the
salmon doneness after 15 minutes; your salmon is ready when it's light pink and moderately resilient to the touch

squash in half, lengthwise. Scoop the seeds and the middle strands out with a spoon and discard. Next, scrape the
inside of the squash with a fork all the way to the skin. You should get strands that resemble spaghetti. Set aside.

chop into pieces. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine melted butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese with the yogurt and 2 oz. of

casserole dish. Top with cooked chicken. Sprinkle the remaining ounce of cheese and dried basil over the top. Put
in oven and bake for 30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the top is a light golden brown, which makes for a
crunchy crust! Serve immediately.
