BREAKFAST MCGRIDDLE
Instructions
1. Prep the meat first by cooking either bacon, turkey sausage, or both. Air fry bacon
at 400° F for about 7 minutes (no flipping required). This is my preferred method, but
you can also pan fry over high heat until cooked to your liking. Form turkey sausage
into 6 small patties (or use preformed patties). Place in a skillet over medium-high
heat and cook on 5 minutes per side until cooked through.
2. Prep the pancake batter by combining the Kodiak Cakes mix, egg, syrup, and milk
in a large bowl.
3. Add 3-4 tablespoons of batter to a skillet and cook for a couple minutes per side,
until bubbles form and cakes are golden brown. This should make a total of 4
pancakes.
4. Whisk eggs in a large bowl with milk, then pour half of the eggs into a skillet over
low heat. Let the eggs cook for a few minutes until they look almost completely
cooked through (some shine is totally fine), then sprinkle with salt & pepper.
5. Carefully fold all 4 sides of the eggs into the center to create a folded egg (see the
photos on food blog for reference). Repeat once more with the other half of the egg
mixture to make 2 total folded eggs.
6. Take one pancake, add a slice of American cheese, then top with folded egg. Add
either 2 strips of bacon or a turkey sausage patty, then top with another pancake.
7. Serve with additional syrup and enjoy!
Notes
I love using the DASH pancake maker—just fill the machine with batter, close and cook
until done. This machine makes the PERFECT fluffy pancakes for McGriddles.

BREAKFAST HEALTHIER STUFFED BAGEL BOMBS
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together all bagel ingredients except the seasoning and egg.
Use a silicone spatula to mix it up until you have a dough. Don’t be afraid to get in
there with your hands to press everything together.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, then separate the dough into 8
roughly equal balls. It’s okay if they are not all exactly the same size.
3. Take 2 balls and use your palms to flatten them into circles (they don’t have to be
perfect circles). Flatten one of them slightly more than the other so it is larger (this
will be the top, so it needs to be able to cover the filling). Repeat until you have 4
pairs with one slightly larger circle for each. Set aside.
4. If your dough is sticky during this process, you can flour your hands.
5. Dice 4 slices of bacon and cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes,
until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon and drain, leaving a little bit of grease in the
pan to cook the eggs.
6. Whisk 4 eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk (roughly 1 tablespoon). Pour the eggs
into the leftover bacon grease and scramble them in the hot pan for 1-2 minutes.
Slide the eggs out onto a plate when they’re still slightly undercooked since they’re
going into the air fryer.
7. Now it’s time to assemble the bagel bombs. For each pair of dough circles, add a
slice of cheese (tear into pieces to make it fit), ¼ of the eggs, and ¼ of the bacon
on top of the smaller circle. Sriracha is delicious if desired. Drape each larger circle
over the top to cover everything, carefully stretching it further if necessary. Pinch all
of the edges to seal the bagel bomb. Repeat for all 4.
8. Add bagel bombs to the air fryer at 350° F. Whisk one egg in a bowl and brush the
tops of each bomb with the egg wash. Top each bagel bomb with everything bagel
seasoning or any seasoning of your choice, then air fry for 10 minutes.
9. Let cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!

LUNCH & DINNER AIR FRYER CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH
Instructions
1. Preheat air fryer to 380° F, and spray basket with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Trim fat off chicken breasts and cut into four 6oz portions. Cover chicken breasts
with plastic wrap, and use a meat tenderizer to flatten the chicken to a
uniform thickness.
3. In separate bowls, make the following three mixtures: flour and seasonings, whisked
eggs, and panko, flour, and parmesan cheese.
4. Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, and coat chicken breasts in the first flour
mixture, then shake off any excess flour.
5. Next, coat each piece of chicken with the whisked eggs. Then, add directly to the
last flour mixture. Pat the chicken to ensure as much coating as possible sticks.
6. Place in air fryer basket. Spray the chicken with cooking spray. Air fry for 18 minutes.
Flip the chicken halfway through, and spray once more.
7. While the chicken is cooking in the air fryer, toast the brioche buns in a stovetop
pan over medium heat until browned. You can make a sriracha mayo by simply
stirring together fat-free mayo and a little sriracha.
8. Remove the chicken and add to each bun, then top with pickles and sauce.

LUNCH & DINNER “LAZY” CHICKEN PARM SANDWICHES
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to broil at 450° F (“Low” setting if it doesn’t have temperature options),
and preheat air fryer to 375° F.
2. Split English muffins in half, add tomato sauce to all 4 halves.
3. Broil English muffins, sauce side up, for 8 minutes.
4. Season chicken thighs and add to air fryer for 12 minutes. (If you don’t have an air
fryer, you can add to the oven along with the English muffins and cook for 12-15
minutes, flipping halfway.)
5. While cooking, mix together mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano.
6. Add cheese on top of the cooked chicken, and broil at 450° F to let the cheese
melt/brown.
7. Remove from oven, add to toasted English muffins, and enjoy!
Notes
For an even lower calorie option, you can sub chicken thighs for chicken breast (but I
highly recommend using thighs).
Fresh grated mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano will yield best results (instead of
pre-shredded).

2. Set veggies to the side, add beef to same pan, cook until browned. Prepare taco
sauce by mixing taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and 20-30g water. Add to beef,
then mix in onion/peppers, and set to the side.
3. Add pasta to boiling salted water and cook as desired.
4. Add cottage cheese, cheddar powder, Velveeta shreds, nutritional yeast, and milk
to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30-45 seconds, and then blend until
smooth.
5. Once pasta is done, drain, and let cool for 1-2 min. (I generally rinse the pot with
cool water as well. I’ve found that if the pot is too hot, cottage cheese sauces can
sometimes separate. Letting it cool will prevent this.)
6. Pour cheese sauce over pasta, and then mix in the taco beef mixture until combined.

LUNCH & DINNER BIG MAC CASSEROLE
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Wash and chop potatoes, skin on, into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add potatoes to the hot oil and ¼ cup
of water. Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper and cook until
they begin to soften, stirring often. This could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes
depending on the size of your potato chunks. Once the potatoes have softened,
place them in the baking dish.
3. In the same hot pan, add the ground beef and onions. Cook until the ground beef
is mostly cooked through and the onions have softened. Season with salt, pepper,
garlic powder, onion powder and mustard. Stir to combine well. Add the cooked
beef mixture to the potatoes in the baking dish and mix together.
4. Top the potato and beef mixture with shredded cheddar cheese and cover with foil.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
5. To make sauce, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped pickles and pickle juice.
6. When the casserole is done baking, remove from the oven and remove the foil. Top
with sauce drizzled across the top (use it all!), shredded lettuce, chopped white
onion, chopped tomatoes and full pickle chips. Serve and enjoy!

making sure the bottom of the roast is submerged in liquid. Add rosemary and bay
leaves to the broth.
6. Pressure cook for 90 minutes on high and vent immediately. The roast should fall
apart and easily shred. Remove rosemary stems and bay leaves. (See food blog for
different roast size cook times.)

LUNCH & DINNER BEST MARINATED FLANK STEAK
Instructions
1. Add all marinade ingredients to a small food processor or blender and process
until smooth.
2. Trim steak of any excess fat and place between two pieces of plastic wrap or inside
a resealable bag. Pound into an even thickness using a meat tenderizer.
3. Add steak and marinade to a large dish or resealable bag and marinate in the
fridge for 2-12 hours.
4. Remove meat from the fridge about an hour before grilling to bring it close to
room temp.
5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (450° F when lid is closed). Carefully oil your grill
using oil and paper towels, or spraying cautiously!
6. Sprinkle meat with a little pepper and a good generous pinch of kosher salt on both
sides. Grill steak for 4-6 minutes per side, or until an internal thermometer reads 130-
135° F for medium rare or around 140° F for medium. It will continue to cook a little
as it rests. Grill time will vary depending on thickness of your steak and desired level
of doneness.
7. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Make
sure you slice your steak into thin strips against the grain (perpendicular to the long
strands). This helps your strips to be tender rather than tough and chewy!

2. Once the meat is fully cooked, add all the canned ingredients and seasoning
packets. Stir to fully combine and bring to a boil.
3. Add the frozen vegetables and reduce to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are
tender, about 6-8 minutes. (The soup will be thick but the vegetables will release
water as they cook.)
4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and Greek yogurt and stir until
evenly incorporated.
5. Serve with cilantro, diced onion and jalapeño, shredded cheese or queso fresco,
and tortilla chips, if desired.

5. Preheat oven to 350° F.
6. Break the chilled snickerdoodle cookie dough into 8 equal-sized pieces and roll

sugar. Add all of the dry ingredients except for the protein powder and mix together
into a wet batter.
2. Mix in the protein powder until it forms a dough ball (protein powder is very
absorbent, so it will thicken into a dough). Fold in your chocolate chips and then
refrigerate for one hour. Chilling the dough will prevent it from spreading too thin.
3. After one hour, preheat oven to 325° F.
4. Form cookie dough into a ball. Add to a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and
bake for 12 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, and let the cookie sit for 1 hour before eating. The cookie
continues to bake inside once it is removed from the oven and will firm up.
Notes
These cookies are safe to eat raw, so it’s okay for the inside to be on the soft side.

DESSERT HEALTHY NO-CHURN SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients, minus the extra tablespoon(s) of milk.
2. Pour mixture into a large sealable freezer bag, and remove all air. Using this method
makes it easy to break the frozen mixture up and add it to the food processor, but
you can also use an ice cube tray.
3. Lay the bag flat in the freezer (if the bag is standing upright, it will all freeze into a
block at the bottom of the bag), and let it fully freeze (at least 8-10 hours, or
overnight).
4. Once frozen, break the frozen mixture up, and add the pieces into the food
processor or blender.
5. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, until everything blends into a mixture that looks
like pebbles (see photos on food blog).
6. Add milk, and use a silicone spatula to scrape the edges as necessary.
7. Run the food processor on high for another minute or two, until a fluffy ice
cream forms.
8. Enjoy as is, or throw some toppings on and dig in!

Notes
If you don’t have any cookie butter powder, you can sub with a chocolate protein pow-
der but it won’t have that Oreo flavor. This is especially true if you don’t have any black
cocoa powder. Highly recommend getting some black cocoa powder off Amazon to
use in recipes for that rich Oreo flavor! 138

1. In a large bowl, mix the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and salt until it forms a ball of
dough. Work it with your hands until it all comes together.
2. Knead the dough for about 1 minute.
3. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. Once the dough has rested, roll it out with your palms on a clean surface, keeping
the middle of the dough thicker than the ends to create a thick Bavarian pretzel.
5. Shape into a pretzel (here’s a very simple demonstration).
6. Combine 4 cups of water with ¼ cup baking soda in a large saucepan, bring to a
boil, then remove from heat. While the water heats up, preheat air fryer to 350° F.
7. Carefully drop the Bavarian pretzel into baking soda bath, and let it sit for 30
seconds. Using 2 spatulas, lift the pretzel out of the water and place it directly into
air fryer basket.
8. Brush the top of the pretzel with melted butter, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
9. Air fry the Bavarian pretzel for 8 minutes, flipping it after 6 minutes. If baking in the
oven instead, bake at 450° F for 10 minutes.
10. Once done, immediately brush with more of the melted butter, then dig in!
