Dani's Beef, Eggplant, & Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Dani Spies is a genius, she always creates the most amazing recipes, this was no different! Packed with protein, very filling and D'lish!

Beef, Eggplant, & Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

5 bell peppers
1 lb grass fed ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
1-3 tsp Red pepper flakes
¼ cup tomato paste
¼ cup water
1 cup of cooked quinoa
1/3-cup fresh chopped parsley
5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Pre heat oven to 350
Halve and seed the bell peppers.  Lay the peppers in single file on a rimmed baking sheet and cook for twenty minutes. 
In the meantime, heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick sauté pan and add in ground beef along with some salt and pepper.  Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat and cook for about five minutes or until the meat as browned.  Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
Add the remainder of the olive oil into the pan along with the onions, and garlic.  Cook for about three minutes before stirring in the eggplant, red pepper flakes, and another kiss of salt and pepper.  Cook until the all of the veggies are soft and tender (this will take about ten or fifteen minutes).  If the pan seems dry add a splash of water.
Add the tomato paste and water to the veggies and stir until all the veggies have been coated with the tomatoes.  Add the beef back to the pan along with the quinoa and adjust the seasonings.  Shut off the heat and stir in the parsley.
Stuff each pepper with about a half-cup of beef and quinoa filling (or as much as it takes to fill the pepper).  Pop the peppers back into the oven for about 20 minutes or until heated through.  Remove from the oven and top each pepper with one tablespoon of cheese and then finish them in the oven for another five minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Enjoy!
Makes 10 servings.

Molten Lava Cake

Molten Lava Cakes

These ooey gooey cakes are traditionally made with butter, whole eggs and white sugar. We’ve leaned up this version – without sacrificing taste – by using olive oil, egg whites and Sucanat, a minimally refined cane sugar.
Serves 4. Hands-on time: 10 minutes. Total time: 20 minutes.
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup Sucanat
  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Orange or pear slices, for garnish (optional)
    ONE: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray four 4-ounce custard cups or small ramekins with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder and Sucanat; whisk in applesauce and oil.
    TWO: In a small bowl, lightly whisk egg and egg white and add to cocoa mixture, whisking until smooth. Stir in flour and vanilla until flour is combined completely – do not overmix.
    THREE: Divide mixture evenly among prepared custard cups, place on a baking sheet and bake for nine minutes. Centers should be soft but sides firm. Invert cups onto serving plates; let stand a few minutes before removing cups. Garnish each cake with fruit slices, if desired; serve warm.
    FOUR: Stir in flour and vanilla until flour is combined completely – do not over mix. Divide mixture evenly among prepared custard cups, place on a baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes. Centers should be soft but sides firm. Invert cups onto serving plates; let stand a few minutes before removing cups. Garnish each cake with fruit slices, if desired, and serve warm.

Apple Grilled Cheese

Apple Grilled Cheese with Grainy Mustard

WITH GRAINY MUSTARD

The “white-bread-and-butter fried cheese sandwich” of years past is transformed with spelt bread, low-fat cheddar cheese, whole-grain mustard and thinly sliced tart apples. And while we may have updated this classic sandwich for modern and health-conscious tastes, we didn’t dare tamper with its trademark simple assembly or minimal ingredients. Five ingredients and 10 minutes is all you need to get our grilled cheese on the table!
Makes 2 Sandwiches. Hands-on time: 5 minutes. Total time: 10 minutes.
  • 4 slices spelt bread or sprouted whole-grain bread
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp whole-grain Dijon mustard
  • 2 oz low-fat cheddar cheese, finely grated, divided
  • 1/2 medium Granny Smith apple or other tart apple, halved, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
    TIP: Try to slice the apple as thinly as possible using a mandolin or sharp knife.
    ONE: Lay bread out on clean work surface and lightly brush top side of each piece with oil. Turn 2 pieces of bread over and spread with mustard. Divide half of cheese between both mustard-covered slices, arranging cheese in a thin layer. Cover cheese with a layer of apples, dividing evenly between both slices, followed by remaining cheese. Top each with other half of bread, oiled-side-up, making 2 sandwiches.
    TWO: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in pan and cook until light golden brown on bottom. Flip, using a spatula, and continue to cook until cheese has melted and bread is golden brown on other side, about 6 minutes total. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
    OPTION: If you have a panini grill, try using it in lieu of the non-stick skillet for even easier no-flipping-required cooking.

Quinoa Stuffed Turkey Breast

I can't believe it's not potato pie

Still researching some better for you classic Thanksgiving recipes, this one came from Hungry girl, and it tastes really good. I know that the marshmallows are not part of the "clean eating" so you could exclude them, but they do add a great taste and it's a small amount! I hope you enjoy!




HG’s I Can't Believe It's Not Sweet Potato Pie

HG’s I Can't Believe It's Not Sweet Potato Pie


Get Squashed!


This one's an instant classic, people.  We promise. By substituting butternut squash for sweet potatoes and using some key light ingredients, you can save over 200 calories and nearly 17 grams of fat per serving on this Turkey Day classic.  And it tastes EXACTLY like the real thing (yes, EXACTLY).  Now THAT'S something to be thankful for!  Butternut squash, with half the calories (and all the yummy fun) of sweet potato, is our new best friend.

Ingredients: 
1 large butternut squash (large enough to yield 2 cups mashed flesh)
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup light vanilla soymilk 
1/3 cup sugar-free maple syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup SPLENDA; Granular
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup miniature marshmallows

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Peel squash and cut into large chunks (removing seeds).  Fill a large, microwave-safe dish with a half an inch of water.  Place squash into dish and cover with plastic wrap.  Microwave for approximately 8 minutes (and drain).  Squash should be tender enough to mash, but not fully cooked.  With a potato masher, food processor or fork, mash squash.  Measure out 2 generous cups, lightly packed, and place in an oven-safe baking dish.  Add all ingredients except for marshmallows.  Mix ingredients thoroughly, but do not over-stir; squash should still be pulpy.  Allow to cook for 45 – 50 minutes.  Remove from oven, and disperse marshmallows over top of pie.  Return to oven for 5 minutes, until marshmallows begin to brown.  Allow to cool.  Serves 4.
