Variations:

STUFT Sweet Potato Breakfast Salad


fresh spinach drizzled with coconut oil

scrambled egg whites with cinnamon (optional sweetener if needed)

roasted sweet potato with low calorie peanut butter frosting (made with PB2), peanut butter andArtisana Cocoa Bliss




1.  I prepped the sweet potato (microwaved for about 6 minutes and then roasted at 375 convection for about 10 to get it crispy).
2.  Then I added the toppings and set it in the freezer for a bit to let it chill and let the peanut butter/cocoa goodness harden up a little. 
3.  I scrambled the egg whites with some cinnamon (from my new jugs) and put them in the fridge to chill a bit also. I wanted my salad cold. 
4.  Then I put it all together on some spinach with coconut oil and some extra cinnamon.

Um yeah.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH SALAD


Servings: 6 x 1 cup
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20-25 minutes

Sweet potatoes are big on taste and offer low-glycemic-index healthy carbs to boot. Their sweetness, combined with the heat of the cayenne and the sourness of the vinaigrette makes a perfectly balanced flavor.


SALAD INGREDIENTS:
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes (about 4 cups / 960 ml)

1 red pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces

3 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

¼ tsp ground cumin

Pinch cayenne pepper

¼ tsp sea salt

⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper

4 cups baby spinach, lightly packed



VINAIGRETTE INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp white balsamic vinegar

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 small clove garlic, finely grated

½ tsp ginger, finely grated

½ tsp honey

¼ tsp ml ground cumin

¼ tsp ml sea salt

⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil



METHOD :
1. Preheat oven to 450°F / 230°C.

2. Place sweet potato and red pepper on two baking sheets in a single layer. Drizzle 2 tsp olive oil over potatoes and 1 tsp olive oil over red pepper, and sprinkle salt and pepper over top of both. Sprinkle cumin and cayenne over top of potatoes. Place in oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice, until soft and caramelized.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients except olive oil. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking again.

4. Place spinach in a large serving bowl. Add roasted sweet potato and red pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over top and toss to combine. Divide among six plates and serve.

Pear Walnut Gorgonzola Salad




*6-8oz Mixed greens-lettuce-baby spinach
1 pear-julienne sliced
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
2 oz Crumbled Gorgonzola

Honey-Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette:
1 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 TBSP Honey
2 tsp minced shallot
3 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of salt
Few grinds of fresh pepper

Directions:
Heat a dry pan on medium and add the walnuts to toast. Stir often, and keep your eye on these, they will toast quickly (about 4-5 min).

Remove the walnuts from the heat once the walnuts are a light golden brown. Pour walnuts on a cutting board to cool.

Mix all the vinaigrette ingredients except olive oil together in a glass jar. Slowly add the olive oil while whisking, this will immerse the ingredients together.

Wash the pear, and slice into thin julienne strips.

Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese.

Toss the mixed greens with half the dressing. Add the dressing to the salad and toss again.

Top with pear, walnuts, and crumbled Gorgonzola and enjoy!

Grilled Chicken with Spinach and Melted Mozzarella





Ingredients:

  • 24 oz (3 large) chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise to make 6 cutlets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, drained
  • 3 oz shredded part skim mozzarella
  • 1 roasted red pepper, sliced in strips
  • olive oil spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly spray a grill with oil (I used my George Forman) or grill outside on a gas grill. Cook chicken on the grill until no longer pink, careful not to overcook or you'll have dry chicken.

Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add oil and garlic, sauté a few seconds, add spinach, salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes until heated through.

When chicken is done, lay on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment for easy clean-up. Divide spinach evenly between the 6 pieces and place on top. Top each with half oz mozzarella, then slices of roasted pepper and bake until melted, about 6-8 minutes.
