​Lunch time!

Ingredients:
2 spinach wraps (1 each)
Pack of ground chicken
1 avocado
1 Roma tomato (1/2 each)
1/8 red onion [1/2 each)
1/2 cucumber (1/4 each)
2 tbsp Brianna’s French vinaigrette
Handful of broccoli slaw
DAK’s Italian Blast seasoning
1 tbsp reduced sodium Worcestershire sauce

I put a tbsp of DAK’s and Worcestershire sauce in with the ground chicken, mixed it and shaped it into 2 logs. Air fried them on 375F for 20 minutes in the Ninja Foodi.

In the meantime, I cut up the avocado, onion, cucumber and tomato. Put it on a wrap with a bit of broccoli slaw, drizzled 2 tbsp of vinaigrette over it (2 tbsp per wrap), put 1 chicken log on top and rolled it up in the wrap.
Delicious and quick lunch.

We weren’t extremely hungry this evening so made an appetizer for dinner: stuffed mushrooms.

Ingredients:
1 can lump crab meat
Alouette spinach and artichoke cheese spread
1 tsp reduced sodium Worcestershire sauce
DAK’s Italian Blast seasoning 1/2 tsp
2 stalks green onion
1 small tub baby Portobello mushrooms
Juice of 1 lemon
Panko whole wheat bread crumbs
Sartori Parmesan cheese
3 green olives with pimento
Spray olive oil

First I drained the liquid out of the can of crab meat and then put the crab in a bowl. Finely chopped green onion, the olives and squeezed in lemon juice, added seasoning and half the container of Alouette and about 1/2 cup of the Panko. Set aside in the fridge.

Then I cut the stems off the mushrooms and cleaned out the gills. Put them on the Ninja plate and stuffed them with above mixture, about a tbsp per mushroom. Then sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on top, sprayed some olive oil over it and air fried in the Ninja Foodi for 20 minutes (no preheat) at 375F.

Calories for 7 mushrooms each 419, carbs 21g, fat 34g, protein 13g, sodium 319 mg and sugar 5g.

Ground turkey Taco burritos for dinner. Calories for 1 burrito 567, 620 mg sodium.

First I made ‘sauce’ with 2% Greek yogurt (1 cup), cilantro chopped up, 1 tbsp minced garlic, juice of 2 limes and garlic powder. Stir and chill in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes.

Then I chopped up a green bell pepper, red onion, 1 tomato and put that to the side in a bowl while browning ground turkey in my electric skillet. I seasoned the ground turkey with DAK’s Taco Knight seasoning, garlic powder and a tbsp of minced garlic (I like a lot of garlic if you couldn’t tell 😂).
When the meat was halfway done I added the veggies and cooked until done. Put it all back in the bowl and then warmed up large whole wheat tortillas. I put some of the sauce on the tortilla when done, the meat and veggies, roll it up and eat!

Dinner is a big open faced whole wheat tortilla with fat free sour cream, guacamole, 3 tbsp Sartori Classic cheese, ground turkey breast, bell peppers, red onion, seasoned with DAK’s Taco Knight (salt free).
Total calories 598, sodium 815 mg.

Multigrain sandwich thin with fat free sour cream, red onion sprinkled with DAK’s Everything seasoning (salt free) and lox with dill. Calories 295, sodium little high but this is why this is a once in a while treat and not every day staple, is 945 mg.

​Low-carb pizzas on the grill. Crust is chicken, cheese and egg (cooked prior to topping)topped with sauce, pepperoni, sausage and cheese. I think next time I will pre-bake the crust in the air fryer and not on the grill as they were a bit soft to hold like a pizza)

​Supper tonight is air fried pan fish
They were dipped in flour that was seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric and black pepper.
then dipped into egg and limoncello mixed together. Then dipped into bread crumbs that I also seasoned with garlic and onion powder.
I sprayed them with olive oil then Air fried for 10 minutes.
A beautiful kale salad.
I chopped up the kale leaves drizzled with a little olive oil.
I sauteed some red onion in olive oil then added some minced garlic and dried cranberries. Added a little red wine vinegar, limoncello, lemon juice let it cool a bit and pour over kale and mix it well. Add some sliced almonds and it's done.
I made a sweet potato the other day but didn't use it. So tonight I sliced it open air fried it for 4 minutes and served it with leftover homemade cranberry sauce.
I decided a little dessert was needed tonight so I made a cheesecake out of ricotta cheese, egg, limoncello, sugar and lemon zest. I made a little blueberry sauce with blueberries, water, sugar and cornstarch. And topped it with a little powder sugar.

Ingredients:

2 cartons organic low sodium chicken broth (if you want to keep this dish completely vegetarian just substitute it with vegetable broth)
2.5 lbs pre cut butternut squash
1 carrot roughly cut up
half red onion roughly chopped
1 Granny Smith apple roughly chopped
1 leek cut in rings
1/2 tsp turmeric
red pepper flakes to taste
1 tbsp Mrs Dash garlic and herbs
*coconut milk is optional for presentation

I added all these ingredients into the Instant Pot, set it to cook on high pressure for an hour. When it was done I blended it all with the immersion blender and soup is done! Quick, simple and tasty!

Healthier version of pizza when you have a craving but can’t have the real deal. Bottom is NY Deli low carb wrap, put 1 tbsp of pesto as base instead of tomato purée.
