1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 medium zucchini-shredded on a box grater and drained of its water.
1 egg
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
~
More breadcrumbs

In a bowl, add ground chicken or turkey, drained grated zucchini, egg, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper. Mix together well using hands until fully incorporated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle a cup of breadcrumbs on a plate. Gently Shape into nuggets and coat with breadcrumbs. Lay on parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Homemade sweet potato tater tots:
1 large sweet potato 🍠 peeled and cut into large chunks.
2 carrots 🥕 – grated
1/2 cup of cheddar cheese- grated
1/3 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
•
First par boil the sweet potatoes for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from water and allow to cool before handling. Once cooled, use a box grater on the small grate to grate your sweet potatoes. In a bowl, add the grated sweet potato, grated carrot, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, flour, salt and garlic powder. Mix together well, using your hands. On a baking sheet, line with parchment paper and shape tater tots. I made about 18 tots. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, making sure each one is lathered with olive oil.l and pop into the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Avocado with olive oil and sea salt
Dinner:
Pumpkin Pasta with Goat cheese:
Combine 2 cups cooked pasta with 4 tablespoons pumpkin pulp, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons of milk and a tiny bit of salt and pepper! I topped with a little goat cheese.
Breakfast:
French Toast- I soak 2 eggs in 2 pieces of sourdough bread. You get a full serving of egg in each piece which is a great way to sneak protein in. With berries and yogurt.
Lunch:
Ground Turkey & Cheese Hash
1/2 pound ground turkey1/4 onion- diced
1/2 zucchini chopped
1/2 cup Frozen peas
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
olive oil
salt and pepperI
In a pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and turn to medium heat. Add in ground turkey and brown for 10 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Once browned add in the onions, zucchini and peas, season with a 1/4 teaspoon salt and a little pepper. Stir together for about 5 minute and add in 1/3 cup of water. Veggies should be soft after then. I like to mash the peas a bit. Serve to baby and top with a little grated cheddar cheese.
With cottage cheese and berries
Dinner:
Light Tuna Casserole:
Saute 1/4 cup of diced onion in 1 tablespoon of butter for 5-8 minutes. Add in 3-4 chopped artichoke hearts, 2 tablespoons of pimento, and 1/2 a jar or can of Tonnino tuna filets. Mix together on medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon of salt- for about 5 minutes. Next add in 2 cups of cooked pasta- I’m using macaroni. Mix together and add in a drizzle of olive oil. Serve and top with cheddar cheese.
Breakfast plate:
2 eggs scrambled. I always add a splash of milk to make the eggs extra fluffy! I always do a side of cottage cheese for protein, lots of berries and i tried the applewood turkey sausage and she loved it!
Lunch: Black bean and cheese quesadilla
Dinner: High Protein Mac n Cheese
Perfectly Basic Mac n’ Cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese I like to use medium sharpness for this
- 1/2 box small elbow macaroni- I’m using Banza noodles for extra protein!
- Salt
- Pepper
- First melt butter in a dutch oven and then add in the flour. Cook the flour, butter on medium- low heat, stirring constantly for 5-10 minutes. Then slowly add in the milk, whisking vigorously to incorporate and create a creamy, silky sauce. Then slowly add in the cheese, whisking until fully incorporated. Put the lid on and turn the heat off. Next, cook your small elbow macaroni in salted boiling water for 5 minutes. Then transfer macaroni directly from the boiling water into the cheese sauce with a slotted spoon. Turn the heat back on and stir together cooking for 1-2 minutes. Add in 1/4 cup – 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the sauce as it begins to thicken up.
- Serve in a big cozy bowl with a little ground Pepper on top.
