Grilled Artichoke Pesto Zucchini Bites

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs zucchini (about 2-3 large zucchini)
  • 9 oz package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and squeezed of excess water
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • the leaves of half a bunch of parsley (about a cup)
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 oz parmigiano reggiano, grated (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:

  1. Cut the stem off the zucchinis, then use a mandolin to slice them into long thin ribbons. They should be about 1/8 inch thick, if they’re too thin they won’t stand up on the own, but if they’re too thick, they won’t be flexible enough to roll. Give each one a little sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the grill to high, and do a quick sear of the zucchini. Since they are really thin, they should only be on the grill for about 30-60 seconds, just enough to take the raw edge off and give them some pretty little grill marks. Remove the grilled zucchini ribbons to a plate.
  3. In a food processor, throw in the artichoke hearts, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, walnuts, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Let the food processor run for a good 20 seconds, until everything is chopped up, and be sure to stop and scrape down the sides from time to time. With the food processor running, stream in the olive oil. Scrape the pesto out into a bowl, and stir in the grated parmesan. Taste it to check for proper seasoning.
  4. Place a spoonful of artichoke pesto into each zucchini ribbon, and roll it up into a little roll. The artichoke pesto is sticky so it should stick together well. Serve and enjoy!

Serves 4-6

Greek Yogurt Panacakes

You will never eat normal pancakes again! These are a delicious, fat free variation and they are packed with protein! 

Ingredients:

  • 6oz plain fat-free greek yogurt
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Optional: Fruit and/or flavorings (I added a diced strawberry and a bit of cocoa powder)

Instructions:

Mix the flour and baking soda in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine greek yogurt and egg white. Then combine all the ingredients in one bowl, and add in any other flavorings you may like. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Use a spoon to scoop large globs of dough onto the skillet. When the bottom of a pancake gets firm, flip it! Continue flipping and heating until pancakes are cooked all the way through. Top with whatever you’d like - a bit of butter and light maple syrup always does the trick for me :) Makes about 5 medium-sized pancakes or 3 larger pancakes.

here’s the recipe!

Forget crappy store-bought veggie burgers. These are delicious. I used about 1 cup of sweet potato with 1 cup of cooked quinoa and 1 egg, which made 4 small-ish patties. Scale up accordingly.
To cook quinoa, rinse well and then add 1 part quinoa to 1.5 parts water in a pot. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat, cover, and cook until water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Almost every other quinoa recipe I see says 2 - 3 parts water and it’s why I hated quinoa for so long — it turns to mush! Less water will give you fluffy quinoa every time.
