Oatmeal Bake

Recipe

  • 2 c old-fashioned quick rolled oats
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup sugar free syrup
  • ¼ cup honey* optional if allotted in your plan
  • 2 c unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2-3 c fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)


*You can use a combination of honey and maple syrup or ½ cup total syrup. However, I haven’t tried this with all honey.
1. Preheat to 375 and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
3. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, honey, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.
4. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with the sliced banana and then top with half of the berries. Pour the oat mixture over the fruit evenly and then add the liquid ingredients on top of the oats. Sprinkle the remaining berries over the top.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is browned and the oats are mostly set. Let stand for 10 min. before serving.

Spinach and Mushrooms Side Dish

Recipe:

This is1 package of button mushrooms

2 cloves of chopped garlic, 3 bags of baby spinach.
On medium low heat, spray a large non stick sauté pan with some cooking spray and sauté the shrooms and garlic. Sprinkle with salt (that draws out the moisture, so you don't need any oil). After about 7-10 minutes, add the spinach in batches as it wilts.

Takes another 15-20 minutes to cook it all. Delicious to add throughout the week in egg white omelettes and as a side dish for meals.

Grilled Steak (Inside) - from client Mikki!

Rainy or snowy (or even really sweaty) days dont have to mean standing outside hovering over the grill! Beautiful lines and "grilled taste" can be accomplished inside too! Sometimes little variations like this make all the difference!

TACO CUPS

Easy to make and change up according to what your family wants and likes:

Here are some ideas for ingredients that work well:

- Protein - cooked chicken, beef, pork, fish, steak
- Carb - cooked rice, quinoa, beans
- Veggies - sautéed onions, peppers, shredded lettuce
- Toppings - diced avocado, cheese, plain Greek yogurt, salsa

Start by microwaving your corn or flour tortillas 20 seconds or until soft. Carefully place tortillas in a non-stick sprayed cupcake pan as shown - It’s okay if they tear a little bit, the ingredients on the bottom will set.

Bake the cups at 350 for about 10 min, remove from the oven, sprinkle with cheese, add avocado and continue baking until cheese melts.
