<b>Coconut Shrimp with spicy mayo</b>. Super simple. thaw frozen shrimp. Dunk in egg then in coconut flour/coconut mix. Make sure pan is hot and coconut oil is sizzling. Fry about 2min on each side.<br />
<br />
Mayo is one cup grape seed oil, one egg and the juice from 1/2 a lemon. Add Cajun spice if you like it hot. The key to mixing the mayo is using a glass jar. It whips up in about 1 minutes if you mix it in glass. <br />
<br />
This is one of my favorite high protein, fat and fibre meals. Enjoy! <br />

Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy and the potatoes are done all the wat through. Top with fried eggs and bacon if you so desire. Makes 12 latkes.</div>

Grab green, orange, purple, yellow, brown... seasonal veggies, chop in bite size pieces and spread on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any seasoning you like....then bake at 160C for about 20 minutes. Mix up about half way through.<br />
<br />
Super easy way to make veggies. I had roasted veggies with baked chicken marinated in Jamaican Jerk sauce I found at the food show this weekend.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813459110278823572.post-22337871437332181772012-05-09T14:02:00.002+12:002012-05-09T14:06:16.854+12:00Cauliflower crust Pizza<br />

2 eggs, beaten</span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">2 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut (or chopped almonds,
hazelnuts, pecans, etc.)</span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">2 tbsp. coconut oil</span><br />
<span style="color: #197d0d; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 600;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;"><br /></span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">Dip salmon pieces into the egg, then press them into the
coconut/nut mixture. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the
salmon as well and press it in firmly.</span><br />
<span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;"><br /></span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">When the oil is very hot, gently lay the salmon in it. Once
you place the salmon, don’t move it until it is time to flip
it—2 to 3 minutes, when the coconut begins to brown.</span><br />
<span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;"><br /></span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">Cook the opposite side for another minute, then put the
pan directly into an oven preheated to 400 F. If you do
not have ovenproof pans, you may place the salmon on
a baking sheet to finish cooking. </span><br />
<span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">Depending on how thick
your pieces are, they could take 3 to 8 more minutes. You
can tell when the salmon is done by poking along the edge
of the thickest part to see if the layers are flaky. </span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: MyriadPro; font-weight: 300;">From <a href="http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/CFJ_Kitchen_Salmon.pdf">CrossFit Journal </a></span></div>

Make sure your oil is hot enough that is sizzles when you lay in a slice of yam. Cook the yam slices in a single layer in batches in the hot oil, flipping after frying for about a minute on each side or when they start to brown. Set the cooked yams aside, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil into the pan and saute the onions just until they start to turn brown. While the onions are cooking, beat the eggs together with the spices in a medium sized bowl. After the onions begin to brown, spread them evenly on the bottom of the pan and layer the yams on top of the onions, followed by a layer of the arugula. Poor the egg mixture evenly over the layers of veggies and cook over medium or medium low until the edges start to look done (about 4-5 minutes). Move the entire pan underneath your broiler for another 5-6 minutes until the “tortilla” is firm on top. Remove and slice like a pizza and eat immediately. Serves 4-5. Easy to make the night before and re-heat for breakfast. </p><div><br /></div></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813459110278823572.post-85070970962935340082011-12-31T10:13:00.003+13:002011-12-31T10:17:11.244+13:00Beetroot Salad<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-h6vMI6tCIdl6VSZRbftApunHimL7MN551qfsydo0epUDhaCZlmDMnNEOjzRYBmp2T4tZZKCVMcVtEYnHmj1OkUKvq7tzo7vg1GX_dcpLaWeGIBPNI7kkRiszI-xpNFyoOJxQpk5Pqk/s1600/beetroot.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-h6vMI6tCIdl6VSZRbftApunHimL7MN551qfsydo0epUDhaCZlmDMnNEOjzRYBmp2T4tZZKCVMcVtEYnHmj1OkUKvq7tzo7vg1GX_dcpLaWeGIBPNI7kkRiszI-xpNFyoOJxQpk5Pqk/s320/beetroot.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692032776794221794" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;"><div style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:11px;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:11px;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;">• 4 good-sized beetroots, lovely</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" > different colours if possible, scrubbed, peeled and cut into fine matchsticks</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" >• 3 ripe pears (or you could use apples), peeled, cored and cut into matchsticks </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" >• 1 x lemon oil dressing see below recipe </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" >• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" >• 200g/7oz feta cheese </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" >• a small bunch of fresh mint, smallest leaves picked optional: a large handful of sunflower seeds</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Recipe from <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetarian-recipes/crunchy-raw-beetroot-salad-with-feta-and">Jamie Oliver</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:tahoma;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813459110278823572.post-70558334238807882742011-11-02T10:25:00.002+13:002011-11-02T10:35:46.203+13:00Mushroom & Asparagus Fritatta<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCfHrOguAQ5L2mYtt0i4_eQSt4gtFw2IJWU3dnKSLe0N-7E6riwN23cE-KzncbR_nD9e1Un6JnivF5zU04NyrWgZVhowIZdp3xf3lj48IfCWNTzT7JNCLmDjWHKMp6VDgcq-YNrDH9J2A/s1600/Mushroom_Frittata.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCfHrOguAQ5L2mYtt0i4_eQSt4gtFw2IJWU3dnKSLe0N-7E6riwN23cE-KzncbR_nD9e1Un6JnivF5zU04NyrWgZVhowIZdp3xf3lj48IfCWNTzT7JNCLmDjWHKMp6VDgcq-YNrDH9J2A/s320/Mushroom_Frittata.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670142065846134802" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>1 Bunch of Asparagus</div><div>2 Large portabella mushrooms</div><div>6 Eggs </div><div>Olive oil</div><div>Basil </div><div>Pine nuts</div><div><br /></div><div>I rarely measure anything I cook, but I'll try to let you know what I did because it was delicious! </div><div><br /></div><div>Add olive oil and heat non stick over proof pan, slice asparagus & mushroom and toss in pan, cook throughly adding basil and pine nuts.

<br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So I had a member ask me what she was doing wrong with her diet this morning, and as she was telling me her daily 'foods' I interrupted and asked, "Where is your protein and fat?"

<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Truth is, we usually know what we're doing wrong in our diet. Too much sugar, not enough protein, eating processed pre packaged food, alcohol, wheat, grains, legumes etc. You see, you cannot out train a bad diet. Trust me, I have experimented with this for quite some time. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">
