Beef, Mushroom and Asparagus Stir Fry (photo below)

1 small onion

1 lb / bunch of asparagus

6-8 mushrooms

8-10 oz Extra lean beef sirloin steaks
Pepper

1tbsp low sodium soy sauce, or lemon juice.

Dice the onion, wash and slice mushrooms and sauté them in a large frying pan until tender.

Trim the asparagus , cut them in half, and microwave them on high for 3 minutes...just to tenderize.

Cut steaks into strips, chuck them into the pan and stir fry them. When they are pink throw in the asparagus and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, add in lots of pepper and your favorite spices (I love garlic!) , and splash in lemon juice or soy sauce at the end. Voila!

Almond Encrusted Haddock (sorry no picture!)

4 Thawed haddock fillets

Cooking Spray

1/2 Cup Ground Almonds
Garlic powder

Chili Powder

Pepper

Salt

Preheat oven at 425°F

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray foil with non stick cooking spray, or a Misto filled with olive oil

Thaw Haddock fillets (if frozen) , then remove excess water from fillets by patting them with paper towel.

In a shallow (soup) bowl mix 1/2 cup of ground almonds, 1tsp pepper, 1tsp sea salt, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp chili powder. Mix together with a fork

Coat haddock fillets with cooking spray, press into almond mixture, use a spoon to sprinkle some on top and pat onto fillet...don;t rub or it'll get messy!

Once the fillets are coated place onto baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes ...last 2 mins on broil if you want a crispier top.

Drizzle a tablespoon of honey over the fruit.

Mix together in a separate bowl:

3/4 cup ground almonds

1/2 unsweetened shredded coconut

Cinnamon to taste.

Distribute evenly over the fruit. bake at 350°F for about 33-35 minutes.

1 medium zucchini chopped

4-5 Mushrooms sliced

1 large egg

1 small onion diced

1 slice of Ezekiel Bread (flourless bread made from sprouted grains.) picked apart into crumbs*

Spices/herbs of choice (I used cumin, garlic, pepper, cilantro...1tsp each)

Put everything in a bowl and squish together with your (clean) hands

Plop into loaf pan and bake for 35-40 mins.

That's it for now! Enjoy!
