"A HIT at every party"

Zucchini Ravioli

One med zucchini- Use a peeler and shave off strips. Place them side by side overlapping a bit so there it about 1 1/2 inches going one way then the same going the other way. Form a cross.  

1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese

1 oz mozzarella cheese (weigh it)

1 T parmesean cheese

2 egg whites

salt, pepper, and garlic shake to season

Mix together and fill each ravioli with ~1/5 the mixture.

Fold in the zucchini starting with the side that is on the under side of the cross in a clockwise order. Invert and place in baking pan filled with 1/2 tomato mixture.  

Tomato mixture

Use canned tomatoes or fresh. I just pureed fresh tomatoes with some Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. I measured 1/4 cup and added a little water 2T. Then I cooked the puree for a couple of minutes (When you puree you don't get for full 1/2 cup serving. (It's way more concentrated) 

Pour 1/2 in the bottom of the baking pan then the rest on top.

Top with 1T more parmesean cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30 min and then broil if you want it to look a little toasty. Enjoy! ***

Eat the remainder (seed portion of the zucchini if you cannot use it for the "noodles".  

Since I ate 1/6 (2 egg whites) of my protein with another meal I only put 5/6 protein in the ravioli.

Loaded Mexican Nachos –

Makes 1 tray of nachos, serves 4 as FULL Lean and Green meal or 4-8 as an appetizer

Ingredients:

For the crockpot chicken:

4-5 chicken breasts, fresh or frozen (15 oz cooked)

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried oregano

salt and pepper, to taste

2 T fresh cilantro

1-2 cup chicken stock or broth

For the nachos:

3 Whole Large Bell Peppers (I usually use a mix of red, yellow and orange bell peppers, but you can use poblanos, jalapenos, banana peppers, or a mix ) (use more if you choose the smaller peppers)

Toppings ( my favs, but you can mix and match or use your imagination!)

3 tomatoes, diced

4 green onions, chopped

1/2 avocados, diced

2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded

¼ cup fresh cilantro

20 black olives, sliced (Healthy fat)

jalapenos, sliced

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup greek plain yogurt (use like sour cream)


DIRECTIONS:

For the crockpot chicken:

Place your chicken in the crockpot. Mix all the spices together in a small bowl and pour over the chicken. add your chicken stock. Give it a good stir and then add in your cilantro. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. After out of the crockpot and shred it with 2 forks. You can add about of the liquid to the chicken if you like your chicken juicier.

For the nachos:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut your peppers into the size of a tortilla chip and remove any seeds. If they are small peppers like jalapeno or banana, they just need to be cut in half. If they are larger peppers like bell peppers, they will need to be cut a few times. Place the peppers on a baking tray. Add your chicken on top of the peppers. If you are using cheese, add the cheese on top of the chicken. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Add any toppings you wish and enjoy!
