Beef manicotti



1 serving 

Each serving provides 
1 leaner
3  greens 
3 condiments 






2 egg thins
4 oz. raw 96% fat hamburger meat
1/4 cup  Low fat Ricotta cheese
1/4 cup  Low moisture mozzarella shredded cheese 
1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons Raos marinara sauce
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper or red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
1 cup fresh spinach 


Preheat oven to 350. 
Cook your hamburger meat in a hot frying pan till done. Remove from the heat. Add black pepper, garlic powder, ricotta cheese and spinach to the hamburger meat and combine well. Careful lay your 2 cauliflower egg thins in your medium casserole dish. Divide your meat mixture between the 2 shells and gently roll up. Pour your Raos over top and sprinkle on your mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and cook for approximately 25 minutes or till cooked through. Uncover and broil top just till brown. 
You will need to have 1 green and and 1 healthy fat to make this a complete lean and green. I was thinking a green salad and a healthy fat dressing.

    2 egg thins = 1 green and the 1 cup spinach = 1 green so you need to add another green on the side

Cottage cheese chips

Image
1 serving  Each serving provides  1/2 leaner 1 condiment  3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese  1/2 teaspoon everything but bagel seasoning  Preheat oven to 350. Mixed the 2 items together. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Put 1/2 teaspoon mounds on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Always double check oven because every oven is different. It also depends on if you want them more cooked. Cook just till they start to brown around the edges. Take out of oven; cool just for a minute or so then gently pull off. They will get crispy. Approximately 24 chips but that depends on your size and how many you eat before you count!  As you can see some of mine got very brown experimenting with the correct time in oven.
