“Morning Protein Wraps”

While still feeling the chill of winter hanging over us, we are going to begin today with BIG breakfast taste to move our feet (attached to our body of course) into a day of real productivity!

Ingredients: (serves 2-4)
• 1 cup left-over, cooked steak, cubed (or meat of choice)
• 1/2 cup organic, yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 large, organic green onion, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. canned, organic, diced, fire roasted green chilis
• 4 Tbsp. non-fat, organic, cottage cheese, well drained
• 1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
• 12 egg whites

Spray a 11”x7 ½” glass baking dish with spray oil, set aside

In bowl, thoroughly combine steak, bell pepper, green onion, chilis, cottage cheese, and seasoning – separate into four servings

Spray 8” ceramic fry pan with spray olive oil and heat to medium heat…add three combined egg whites and cook until ready to turn over and finish cooking second side; slide onto a plate. REPEAT: three more times until you have four egg-white flats.

Fill half of each egg-white flat with one serving of steak mixture and fold egg flat in half…place into baking dish…see picture

Cover and bake in pre-heated oven at 300 degrees until heated to serving temperature

Add your favorite low-sodium salsa drizzled over the wraps for a hearty morning meal!

“Meatball Soup”

On a day to day basis, sometimes we only focus on the work involved instead of the rewards…a longevity with the ability to be active, vibrant, joyfully expressive and just loving life! What we are doing for ourselves today truly dictates our future well-being. Feeding every cell in your body with nutritious, quality, living nutrients strengthens your immune efficiency and organ vitality! Yeah baby…that’s what we’re looking for!

Ingredients for soup stock: (serves 4-6)
• 1/2 cup organic, diced sweet onion
• 1 cup organic, broccoli slaw
• 1 cup organic, shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup organic, chopped fresh parsley
• 28 oz. jar/can low-sodium diced tomatoes
• 32 oz. organic, low-sodium veggie stock
Seasonings: 2-4 gloves garlic, minced;1/2 tsp. dried sage; 1/2 tsp. dried thyme

Ingredients for meatballs:
• 1/2 lb. organic, grass-finished ground beef
• 1/2 lb. organic, grass-finished ground pork
• 1/4 cup organic shredded Parmesancheese
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp. ground flax seed
Seasonings: 1 Tbsp. dried Italian seasoning, 1 tsp. minced garlic, ½ tsp. onion powder

Pour the veggie stock into a large pot and mix in the diced tomatoes, onions and seasonings…now heat the mixture to a very low boil

While soup stock mixture is heating, mix all the ingredients for the meatballs until well blended

Roll the meatball mixture into approximately 20 small balls (heaping teaspoon sized)
Be sure each meatball is rolled tight so it does not fall apart in the stock

Now, carefully place each meatball into the heated soup stock and cook on very, low boil until the meat balls are cooked through; it takes about 15-20 minutes; add remaining ingredients about 5-10 minutes before serving

“The Royal Beef Plate”

Let’s create a full-bodied sauce to have with a great iron-skillet-browned fillet mignon this evening. The richness comes from the sautéed mushrooms and red wine added to the drippings from the iron skillet once the steaks are perfectly browned. This is a decadent meal with very minimum effort and is truly a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients: (serves 4)
• Filet mignon steaks (you choose portion size/person)
• 1 Tbsp. organic butter
• 1 tsp. organic olive oil
• 8 oz. organic cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tsp. organic, fresh rosemary, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 3/4 cup organic, low-salt beef stock

Cook steaks at medium temperature in an iron skillet with 1 tsp. organic olive oil; remove to warm plate once cooked to your preference

Melt butter with olive oil in iron skillet with remaining drippings from cooking steaks; add
mushrooms and rosemary, salt & pepper, wine, beef stock, and simmer

Continue cooking on low simmer until liquid reduced to about two thirds of beginning amount

Using a ladle, evenly portion the sauce with mushrooms to each individual plate for serving

Add some steamed green beans and mashed cauliflower for a royal meal!
