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!

BREAKFAST CRISPY BREAKFAST EGG ROLLS

Instructions

1. Fry bacon until crispy; drain on a paper towel.


2. Whisk 5 eggs with a splash of milk. Add whisked eggs to a skillet over low-medium
heat, reserving a small amount of egg mixture to use as an egg wash.
3. Scramble the eggs until firm but still slightly runny (these will finish cooking inside
the egg roll wrappers).
4. Preheat air fryer to 400° while you form the egg rolls—this is the key to a
good crisp!
5. Add half a slice of cheese to your egg roll wrapper, or about 1-2 tablespoons of
shredded cheese, then a small amount of eggs and bacon, then top with hot
sauce (optional).
6. Roll the egg roll (like a burrito) and brush the end of the egg roll wrapper with the
reserved whisked egg to seal it. Once rolled, brush the top with some egg and
sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning over the top.
7. Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray, and add your egg rolls, being sure to
leave space between them.
8. Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping after 4 minutes to crisp the bottom.
9. These breakfast egg rolls are best served fresh. For a simple dipping sauce, mix
syrup and hot sauce to create a sweet and spicy sauce, or hot honey also
works great.

LUNCH & DINNER EXTRA CHEESY BEEF OVEN-BAKED TACOS

Instructions

Cooking the Taco Meat:


1. Add onion and garlic to a large skillet with the ground beef over medium-high heat.
2. Cook until no pink remains in the beef. Add the dry spices and stir well.
3. Reduce heat and add enchilada sauce, stirring until the sauce thickens. Remove
from heat.

Assembling the Oven-Baked Tacos:


1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Wrap tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds,
flipping halfway through. Place warmed tortillas on a baking sheet.
3. Place a generous pinch of cheese on one half of each tortilla. Follow the cheese
with the beef and another pinch of cheese. Fold the tortillas in half, pressing down
gently to seal.
4. Spray the tops of the tacos with a bit of cooking spray and place another baking
sheet on top of them to prevent the tacos from opening during baking.
Bake for 14-18 minutes or until the tacos are golden brown and crisp.

Notes
If you have trouble getting the tacos crispy, you can remove the top baking sheet after
a few minutes once the tacos have sealed to speed up the process.

2. Tenderize/flatten chicken thighs, and season as desired. Cook in air fryer for 12
minutes. (If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake or grill the chicken.)
3. Mash 1 medium avocado with green sauce/salsa and a pinch of salt/pepper until it
reaches a guacamole-like consistency.
4. Let cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes. Add buns to air fryer for 3-5 minutes to toast
while the chicken rests (or toast using your preferred method).
5. Once buns are toasted, add avocado to top and bottom bun, chicken, cheese, and
top with hot sauce and red chili flakes.

Notes
The buns I used here (brioche) were about 160 cals each. I think they’re worth it for the
taste, but use your favorite bun.
To reduce fat, simply use ¼ avocado for each sandwich (instead of ½)
Add tomato if you’re into that!

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).

Instructions

1. Chop onion and bell peppers. Add to a pan over medium heat, and cook until soft/
caramelized. Add a splash of water if they start to stick to the pan.
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.

Notes
This recipe makes a ton of food, so it’s perfect for meal prep!

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!

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.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.


2. In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients for the oatmeal cookies.
3. Add the molasses and butter, then mix with a silicone spatula until it comes together
to form cookie dough.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide and roll the cookie dough into 10
small cookie dough balls. Space them out on your baking sheet.
5. Bake for 6 minutes.
6. When you remove the cookies from the oven, they will seem cakey. Carefully use
your fingers or a spatula to press the cookies into flat discs and create that cracked
effect.
7. Let the cookies cool for one hour to firm up. They will stay very soft (like a real oat-
meal cream pie), but the inside should firm up completely.
8. Make the cream filling by adding the vanilla frosting to a bowl, then adding the
protein powder. Add a very small splash of milk just to help incorporate everything,
and mix it up until smooth.
9. Flip 5 of the oatmeal cookies upside down and add some cream filling on top.
Place the other 5 cookies on top to make sandwiches, and enjoy!

er, protein powder, stevia, cocoa powder, vanilla, and baking powder. Mix well and
pour into a greased 9x9 pan. Sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips and
bake for 35-40 minutes or until set.
4. Let cool before cutting into 8 pieces.
5. Chill, then enjoy!

Notes
I love these served in a bowl with cashew milk, Reddi Whip, chopped strawberries, and
a few more mini chocolate chips!
You can also serve with Reddi Whip, a drizzle of natural peanut butter, and a pinch of
flake salt.
They’re also delicious with yogurt and fruit to make a perfect breakfast or snack.

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!

If you don’t have any cookie butter powder, you can sub with a chocolate protein pow-

Instructions

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!

personal size serving!
I like to pair with Quest ranch chips or celery!
