Recipe: Salmon Stuffed Avocado

Too bad avocado season isn’t forever!  I don’t know about you, but avocados are a daily occurrence in my home when they are in season.  I seriously cannot find enough to do with them!

I was in the mood to find something new to do with my last avocado of the week and I wanted to use the limited items I had available in the house before next grocery trip.  When I get like (trying to find something to eat with limited items) I go to one of my favorite all time sites:  www.allrecipes.com

You know that website was […]

Recipe: Deviled Eggs Biz Style

Recipe: Deviled Eggs Biz Style

Who doesn’t like deviled eggs?

Did you know that in the south it is almost mandatory to own some sort of deviled egg platter?

Every gathering you go to has some sort of deviled egg concoction.  These however leave all the other recipes you have in the dust.  These are quite simply put, just awesome.

Just an FYI … do you know why they are called “deviled”?

Evidently the term “deviled” first appeared around 1786 (in print) and it was used to describe a dish that was either fried or boiled and that was highly seasoned.  By the 1800’s, “deviled” evolved […]

Recipe: Lomi Lomi Salmon

Yum!  This is normally a side dish in Hawaii, and it’s usually made with fresh raw salmon that you salt yourself for a few hours.  However, I needed to have a recipe that would come close for P2, and this does the trick!

Now before you knock my block off, I know that salmon is not a protocol legal food.  However, I have suggested it to members of Boot Camp and my clients over the years without any ill effects.

In fact, the can of Wild Pink Salmon that I often choose (Bumble Bee) has these counts:

60 Calories
1.5g Fat
12g […]

Recipe: Salmon Patties

I think if I was forced, I could live on salmon as my only protein for the rest of my life!

But seriously, when you consider all the benefits that salmon can add to your nutritional goals, it pays to take notice and to add it to your diet weekly.

WILD salmon keeps coming up in all sorts of lists as an important food for all aspects of health.  Notice the emphasis on the word WILD – wild-caught fish grow and use their muscles, tissues and fat levels the hard way, fighting for survival of the fittest in oceans […]

Recipe: Kickin Chicken Chili

Chili.

There are thousands of recipes for chili on the internet.  When you throw into the mix that it has to be legal for P2, the list gets a little limited.

Chili is like salsa, everybody has a different idea on what it should consist of.  Some like it mild, some like it past hot.  Some like white sauce, some like red.  Some like it full of spice, some not so much.

Chicken Chili is no exception.

This is a very basic recipe that you can expound upon to suit your own tastes.  The one big difference about this recipe is […]

Recipe: Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

This is one of my favorite “go-to” recipes.  I usually will always have the ingredients in this recipe on hand and when I can’t find anything else to make, this is an easy choice.

It’s also great as a “to-go” recipe as it travels well in a small cooler.  And if you add it on a bed of lettuce, it can become a complete meal full of protein (bodily fuel for cell and tissue maintenance), fats (for satiation and brain health) and carbs (for energy) without a lot of muss or fuss.

Whoever came up with the idea that curry and […]

Recipe: Black Bean Chili

Chili.  Yum.

There are all sorts of recipes for chili’s available.  It’s a long standing recipe that people have made their own for decades.

I never liked chili growing up because I never liked kidney beans.  I didn’t realize until much later in life that chili can mean almost anything!

Over the years, I tend to enjoy white chili’s more than red, however, this is one that I always come back to.  But then again, I happen to really love black beans.  ::giggle::

What is totally awesome about chili is that even though it’s not “high fat” on it’s own, you can make it […]

Recipe: Sashimi Phase 2 Style

Recipe: Sashimi Phase 2 Style

People sometimes get the words SASHIMI and SUSHI mixed up.

  • Sashimi:  Raw meat, most often fish.
  • Sushi:  Vinegar and sugared rice with other ingredients, usually fish, and maybe some vegetables and most often wrapped in seaweed

Way back when I did a round of Phase 2 using all raw foods, sashimi was almost a daily occurrence, and I have to say that the round was one of the best rounds I ever had on protocol.

There are those of you out there that get a little grossed out with the thought of raw fish in general, sorry for that, you […]
