      <image:title>Recipes - Burger Bowl - Burger Bowl</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ingredients: makes 5 servings 1 large head of green leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and chopped 3 Roma tomatoes, sliced (I used ½ tomato per bowl, but use as much as you want!) 1 lb extra lean ground beef (94/6) 1 tbsp garlic (fresh or minced) 1 large white onion, thinly sliced 2 large sweet potatoes (600 g total), washed and cubed into ½-inch pieces (keep cubes uniform for even cooking) Spray oil Homemade pickles: 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced 2 cups water 2/3 cup white vinegar 4 tbsp sugar 2–3 tsp salt Toppings: chipotle mayo or burger sauce of choice, green onion Seasoning: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, McCormick roasted red pepper and garlic seasoning, salt, pepper Instructions: Pickled cucumber: In a large container, combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix until fully dissolved. Add cucumbers, ensuring they are submerged. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (best after a few hours). Keeps well for several days. Meat: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add ground beef and break apart. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Add garlic and season generously with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and roasted red pepper seasoning. Cook 1–2 more minutes to develop flavor. Set aside. Caramelized onion: In the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low. Add onions with a small amount of oil. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown (about 15–20 minutes). Add a pinch of salt to help draw out moisture. If onions start to stick, add a splash of water to deglaze. Set aside. Sweet potatoes: If meal prepping: Wash and cube sweet potatoes. Divide into 5 equal raw portions (store raw portions in airtight containers or bags). Do not cook all at once, as they will lose texture. When ready to eat: Place 1 portion in air fryer basket. Spray generously with oil. Season with salt and pepper only (other seasonings may burn). Air fry at 300°F for 10–15 minutes until fork-tender, shaking and respraying halfway. Increase heat to 375°F and cook an additional 2–4 minutes until browned and crispy. If not meal prepping: Toss all sweet potatoes with spray oil, salt, and pepper. Air fry in batches at 300°F until soft, shaking occasionally. Finish at 375°F until crispy. Larger batches will require more time. Do not overcrowd the basket. Meal prep notes: Divide into 5 portions: meat caramelized onions raw sweet potatoes (keep separate) Store lettuce and tomatoes separately to keep them fresh and prevent sogginess. Store pickled cucumbers in their liquid. Reheat meat and onions before serving. Assembly: In a large bowl, layer lettuce, sweet potatoes, meat, caramelized onions, pickled cucumbers, and tomatoes. Drizzle with chipotle mayo or burger sauce and top with green onion. Adjust ratios based on preference. Macros: 373 kcal, 22 g protein, 38 g carbs, 14 g fat, 6 g fiber</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ingredients: Makes 5 servings 1 lb extra lean ground beef ½ onion, chopped 1 tbsp minced garlic 3 (12 oz) bags shaved Brussels sprouts 3 large sweet potatoes (about 900 g), cubed with skin on Olive oil spray Salt and pepper to taste 1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tsp Knorr low sodium seasoning (optional) Garnish: Primal Kitchen Special Sauce (for drizzle) Green onions, sliced Instructions: Prep If meal prepping, divide the shaved Brussels sprouts and cubed sweet potatoes into 5 equal portions (about 210 g Brussels sprouts and 175 g raw cubed sweet potato per serving). If cooking a single bowl, use these amounts as a guide per serving. Cook the Sweet Potatoes Place sweet potatoes in the air fryer. Spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Air fry at about 325°F for ~10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until softened. Cook the Brussels Sprouts Add Brussels sprouts to the air fryer. Spray generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Continue air frying until browned and crispy to your liking, checking every ~2 minutes to prevent burning. For reference, I did a total cook time of about 20–25 minutes produces extra crispy sprouts. For additional crispness, I increase the temperature to 350°F for the final 2–3 minutes. **Air fryer models vary widely, so adjust temperature and time as needed. Increase heat for more browning and crisp edges, or cook longer at a lower temperature for more tenderness. Cook the Beef Over medium high heat, spray a large pan with olive oil. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened. Add ground beef and season with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and Knorr seasoning. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Divide into 5 portions if meal prepping. Assemble Add sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts as the base. Top with ground beef. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with green onions.

      <image:title>Recipes - Cauliflower rice - Cauliflower Rice</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ingredients: Makes 5 servings 2 bags frozen cauliflower rice (12 oz each) Optional: 8.5 oz cooked jasmine rice (For best results, I recommend microwave or leftover rice, but freshly cooked works too. 1/2 white onion, finely diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp oil (olive, avocado, or neutral oil) Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken bouillon, turmeric (optional, for color) Instructions: Prep the cauliflower rice Microwave the frozen cauliflower rice according to package directions. Drain any excess fluids. Optional: Once cooked, transfer it to a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step will speed up the cooking process. Sauté the aromatics Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the oil and diced onion. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Cook the cauliflower rice Add the drained cauliflower rice to the pan. Sauté, stirring frequently, until it’s reduced in size and turns lightly golden brown. Note: this can take several minutes and it will depend on how much moisture is in the cauliflower rice. Keep stirring to prevent burning. Season Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a small amount of chicken bouillon. Optional: If you want a yellow color, sprinkle in a bit of turmeric and stir well. Optional: Add jasmine rice If using cooked jasmine rice, add it to the pan and stir until evenly incorporated with the cauliflower rice. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until everything is well combined and heated through. Serve Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot as a side dish or base for your favorite meals.

      <image:title>Recipes - One pot Orzo pasta with Hidden Veggies - One Pot Orzo Pasta with Hidden Veggies</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ingredients: makes 6 servings 1 lb extra lean ground beef 16 oz container of mushrooms 1¼ cups orzo 1 (15 oz) jar pasta sauce 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (optional) ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped 16 oz frozen broccoli 1 tbsp butter 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped Water Olive oil spray Seasoning (to taste): garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper Garnish: parmesan cheese, parsley Instructions: In a large greased pan over medium heat, cook the beef until browned. Drain excess oil and set aside. While the beef cooks, add the mushrooms to a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped — they should resemble ground beef. (If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop mushrooms by hand until you reach a similar texture.) Once the beef is done and set aside, in the same pan add half of the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until translucent and fragrant, then add the mushrooms. Sauté until most of the water from the mushrooms has evaporated, they’re browned, and have reduced in size. Set aside with the beef. In the same pan, add the remaining onion and garlic along with the dry orzo. Toast the orzo for a few minutes until golden brown, spraying with olive oil as needed to prevent sticking. Once toasted, add just enough water to submerge the orzo. Cover and cook until orzo is al dente, checking frequently and adding more water as needed to prevent burning. While the orzo cooks, prepare the frozen broccoli according to package instructions. Once cooked, add 1 tbsp butter, salt, and pepper, and mix until the butter is fully melted and coats the broccoli. When the orzo is al dente, add the beef and mushrooms back into the pan. Stir in enough pasta sauce to reach your desired consistency, then add the heavy whipping cream and mix until well combined. Simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and parsley. You can store this as one batch or divide evenly between meal prep containers Store in the fridge until ready to eat. Once ready to eat, reheat in the microwave and top with additional parmesan if desired. Enjoy! Macros: 486 kcal, 33 g/pro, 62 g/carbs, 12 g/fat, 7 g/fiber</image:caption>

      <image:title>Recipes - Taco Bowl With Raspberry Chipotle Sauce</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ingredients: Makes 5 Servings  Crock Pot Chicken: 1.5 lbs chicken breast 10 oz can diced tomatoes with chiles I used mild, but use your preferred spice level 3 tbsp adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce) Add a whole chipotle pepper for extra heat ½ yellow onion, roughly chopped 2 garlic cloves ½ packet low sodium taco seasoning Taco Bowl: 2 cans Bush’s SideKick Beans (I used the Taco Fiesta Black Beans) 2 large sweet corn cobs 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped ½ large purple onion, finely diced 2 roma tomatoes, finely diced 2 limes 1 tsp rice wine vinegar 1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried Toppings: seasoned tortilla strips (Santa Fe or Southwestern style recommended), Mexican crema Raspberry Chipotle Sauce: 1 (6 oz) carton raspberries 1 tbsp adobo sauce 2 tbsp lemon juice (about ½ a large lemon) 2 tbsp brown sugar 2 tbsp white sugar Instructions Crock Pot Chicken: In your crock pot, add the diced tomatoes, adobo sauce, taco seasoning, onions, and garlic. Fill the empty tomato can with water and pour it into the crock pot. Mix everything together and taste; adjust seasoning or adobo sauce as desired. Add chicken and ensure it’s fully submerged in liquid. Cook on low for 6–7 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the chicken stays covered. Once done, remove chicken and set aside. Scoop out the remaining contents and transfer to a blender. Add a small amount of liquid and blend until smooth. Return the blended sauce to the crock pot. Shred the chicken with two forks or a hand mixer. Add some of the crock pot liquid to keep the chicken moist. Tip: Save extra liquid for reheating chicken later in the week. Divide chicken into 5 equal servings (~4 oz each) and store in the fridge. Beans: Combine both cans in a large container and refrigerate until ready to eat. Corn Salsa: Cut the corn kernels off the cob. In a container, combine corn with ½ of the diced purple onion, chopped cilantro (to taste), rice wine vinegar, and juice of ½ a lime. Mix until well combined. Adjust to taste with more vinegar or lime if needed. Tip: Avoid adding salt until ready to eat to preserve texture. Store in the fridge. Pico de Gallo: Combine diced tomato, remaining onion, chopped cilantro (to taste), and juice of ½–1 lime. Optional: add finely diced jalapeño for extra heat. Tip: Like with the corn salsa, avoid adding salt until serving. Store in the fridge. Raspberry Chipotle Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine adobo sauce, lemon juice, and both sugars. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add raspberries and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir frequently and mash berries as they soften. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and reduces. Transfer to a heat-safe bowl and let cool. Store in the fridge. Assembly: To reheat chicken, pan-fry with a bit of crock pot liquid to maintain moisture (recommended method). Alternatively, place shredded chicken in a microwave-safe bowl with desired amount of beans and heat for 1–2 minutes until warmed through. Once heated, top with chopped romaine, corn salsa, and pico. Now add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with Mexican crema and raspberry chipotle sauce. Finish with tortilla strips and a lime wedge. Enjoy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Recipes - Butternut Squash Pasta</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ingredients: makes 5 servings 10 oz protein pasta 10 oz butternut squash, cut into small cubes ½ yellow onion, sliced 2 cloves garlic 1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese 3 tbsp tomato paste Topping: parmesan, fresh basil Instructions Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with oil. Evenly distribute the butternut squash, onion, and garlic on the pan. Spray lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10–20 min until butternut squash is soft and lightly browned. Prepare pasta according to box instructions. Save 1–2 cups of the pasta water before draining. 3. Once butternut squash is slightly cooled, add to a blender with the ricotta cheese, tomato paste, and pasta water. Continue to add pasta water until you get a thin sauce. Tip: Make the sauce thinner than you would expect. It tends to thicken in the fridge over time, so add more pasta water to thin it out. Mix the cooked pasta and sauce together Top with 2 tbsp of freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil Optional: Add a few pieces of grilled chicken on top for extra protein. Store in fridge. When you’re ready to eat, microwave for 1-2 min or until fully heated through. Tip: If the sauce thickens throughout the week, add a splash of milk or heavy cream when reheating to loosen it back up. Continue adding until you reach your desired consistency Macros (per serving- no chicken): 277 kcal, 18 g/pro, 48 g/carbs, 4 g/fat, 6 g/fiber</image:caption>

Once hot, sauté the onions until soft and fragrant. Add mushrooms, steamed edamame (or other veggies of choice), and tofu. Sauté until the veggies and tofu are golden brown. Set aside. In the same pot, add the chicken bone broth. (Optional: Add more water if you prefer a soupier base.) Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but use only ½ to ⅓ of the seasoning packet. Once the noodles are cooked, season to taste with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the sautéed veggie and tofu mixture back into the pot. Serve hot and garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ingredients: 1 cup coarsely ground coffee ~ 6-8 cups filtered water Equipment: Cold brew maker or a French press or a large jar + cheesecloth for straining 2 large mason jars (32 oz each) Instructions: Add the coffee grounds to your cold brew maker (or French press/jar). Fill with filtered water until the container is full (at least 3 cups). Make sure all the grounds are fully saturated. Refrigerate for 18–24 hours to steep. Remove the coffee grounds. You’ll now have about 800 ml of cold brew concentrate. Dilute the concentrate: Pour 400 ml of the concentrate into each of two 32 oz (approx. 950 ml) mason jars. Add 400 ml of filtered water to each jar. Adjust according to how dilute/strong you would like your coffee. This gives you about 800 ml of ready-to-drink cold brew per jar.

Chicken (can also use beef ) - 1 tsp olive oil - 1 tsp minced garlic - 2 large chicken breasts (~1.5 lbs) - 2 tbsp Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce - Garnish: finely chopped green onions Instructions: Rice: 1. A few hours before cooking (or the night before), cook the white rice in a rice cooker. Allow it to fully cool off in the fridge. 2. In a large pan or wok over medium heat, add 1 tsp of sesame oil. Allow it to heat up and then add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. 3. Add scrambled eggs. Cook until firm, stirring frequently to prevent them from burning. 4. Microwave the riced cauliflower per package instructions. 5. After the eggs cook, push them to the side and add the cooked cauliflower rice to the pan. Cook until the moisture in the cauliflower rice is reduced. Push to the side. 6. Then add the peas and carrots. If using frozen veggies, add them to a bowl of water and microwave for 2-3 minutes until they are fully defrosted. Drain the water and then add to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until moisture is reduced. 7. Add the cooled white rice to the pan and then the soy sauce. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Adjust to taste with more soy sauce if needed. 8. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onion, and everything but the bagel seasoning (optional). Set aside. Chicken: 1. In the same pan as the rice, add 1 tsp of sesame oil and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. 2. Then add the chicken breasts. Cook on both sides for 3-5 minutes each or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (145F if using beef). 3. Halfway through cooking, add the Bachan's BBQ sauce. Let it simmer and cook with the chicken until it's done. 4. Adjust to taste with more sauce if needed. 5. Once done cooking, cut the chicken into thin slices. 6. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. Storage and Serving: 1. Divide the rice evenly between 5-6 containers, using about 1 heaping cup per container. I was able to make about 6 servings. 2. Then evenly divide the chicken. 3. Store half in the fridge and the other half in the freezer. 4. For the frozen servings, defrost overnight in the fridge the night before you need it. 5. Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until everything is evenly heated through. Enjoy! Macros: 390 kcal, 36 g/pro, 37 g/carbs, 10 g/fat, 3 g/fiber</image:caption>
