Cauliflower – 3 chunks per person, steam for 112 – 15 minutes, then drizzle w/ olive oil lightly
For added savory flavor slice up into 1/2″ rings one onion and fry in bacon grease til crispy and smells delicious – serve over steak or mix with veggies

Same Theme – Different Meat and Veg
1-lb ground beef seasoned w/S&P divided into 4 chunks and shaped into patties, grill or fry until medium rare (takes about 12 minutes so start shaping when the beets have started steaming)
3 beets w/greens – chop greens into 1/2″ ribbons including stems and set aside, slice the beets into 1/2″ rounds and steam for 13 – 15 minutes. at the 10 minute mark start sauteing the greens lightly in bacon grease then when beets are done add them and a handful of pine nuts and continue cooking for another 2 minutes
for more variety add 1 small carrot per person sliced into rounds to the beets steaming and continue with the beet recipe (the farmers market has lovely bunches of yellow, purple and white carrots which add a great bite to the beets)
slice 1 onion into rings and fry til golden and crispy, (takes about 10 minutes on medium heat) set aside and add to beets, carrots & greens or put atop burgers (can add thinly sliced mushrooms for a richer flavor)
enjoy!

2 tablespoons pecan flour

2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cashew Crusted Apple Rings
1 granny smith
3 oz crushed cashews
6 oz unsweetened coconut milk
1/3 cup unsweetened apple juice, natural juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
Remove core and slice apples into slices
Beat the egg and add the milk and juice in one bowl
In another put the cinnamon and cashews, mix.
Dredge the apple slice in the milk then dip it in the cashews, coat it. The coating will be sticky. You only have to coat the top side.
Line a pan with aluminum foil and grease it with coconut oil
Place the apples on the pan
Bake at 350 till golden brown
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS TO ENJOY!!!!

2 cups raw honey (Mothers Market has some excellent raw organic honey)
2 cups ground walnuts (grind them in food processor)
4 cups ground almonds
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup dried fruit (raisins or cranberries)
*** 3 Scoops of Whey Protein totalling 150 grams of Protein if desired***
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Lightly grease cookie sheet ( I use Pam spray)
Warm honey in sauces pan until melted and cool slightly
Place the ground nuts and cinnamon (Protein Powder) in a large bowl and mix together
Pour melted honey onto nut mixture and stir until well blended
Stir in dried fruit
Place the mixture onto cookie sheet and spread it evenly to meet all edges
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
I let cool in pan for at least 2 hours to set and then cut in to squares. If you can let it sit over night the cookies come out really nice.
It is helpful to put the squares into muffin papers or on wax paper for the obvious sticky consistency of the cookie.
When we did the math we found the cookies lacked enough protein to be Zone friendly. If you want to experiment add Whey Protein Powder to the mix and up the protein for a more Zone friendly snack.
I made these a while back and they were delicious! Got the recipe from here:

LONELY MAN’S MULTI MEAL: GREAT FOR FAMILY’S OR FOR SINGLE GUYS LIKE MYSELF WHO WANT TO COOK VERY LITTLE.
Prep Time: 30min
Cook Time: 30min
Need:
Good Knife for chopping
Large Wok
1lb of Ground Beef or Shredded Chicken
1 Onion
1 Bell Pepper
1 large Sweet Pa-Tater
3 Carrots
1 large handful of Broccoli
1 large handful of Mushrooms
1 Avacado
1 Can Beans (I prefer black)
1 Cup of Wild Rice
Oil of your Choice
Salsa
Seasoning’s of your choice
Begin to cook your rice, if your using wild rice this should take about an hour. Once it is on the burner leave it. Smatter in a little oil into your Wok and rub it around for a nice even coat. Now take all of your Veggies and chop them up (not the Avo) and throw them in and season to taste, turn on MED-Low heat and cover (stir occasionally). Throw Chicken or beef in a separate pan and cook until done. Once finished add in with veggies and turn up the heat to MED-High. Continue cooking until veggies are tender. Upon reaching tenderness add in Beans and Rice stirring together and heating evenly. Slice and Dice the avacodo, toss in to the mix, remove from heat and Now your Ready to serve! Add salsa as desired or any other condiment (I like to add some YUM sauce). Left over’s are great for omelets in the morning and it makes a easy meal to re-heat. If your single and eat like me… This will make 4 to 6 meals! Enjoy!
