Posted on | Comments (0)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 6 to 10 dill pickles, cut in half

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk well. Taste the mixture for flavor and adjust seasoning to your preference.

3. Dip pickle slices in water, then coat with dry mixture and place on a baking sheet making sure not to overcrowd. Bake the pickles in batches if necessary.

4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes and remove when lightly browned. This depends on the style of pickle, so be sure to keep your eye on them.


Jorge Cruise's BBQ Zucchini Chips

The spices in this recipe are anti-inflammatory and have no calories.
Posted on | Comments (0)

Ingredients

  • 5 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seed powder

Directions

1. Lay the zucchini slices out evenly on sheets of paper towel (make sure they're thinly sliced--the thinner they are, the better they'll crisp up) then sprinkle the tops of each lightly with salt. Use no more than ¼ teaspoon total for all the slices.

2. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees and allow the slices to sit for approximately 10 minutes. This will help draw out the liquid from the slices so they'll cook faster and help with their crispiness.

3. After the 10 minutes, blot the slices with additional paper towel to remove the excess moisture.

4. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay out the slices evenly on the sheet (you may need to use more than one pan depending on the size of your zucchini).

5. Sprinkle the tops with your seasonings of choice. Be careful not to use too much, since you already salted the slices and they will shrink when baking.

6.  Bake in the oven for approximately 2 hours or until they've reached your desired crispiness.

7. Remove from oven and let cool, then serve.

No Bake Watermelon Cake

If you are looking to cut a few calories on cake you’ve gotta try this “Paleo friendly” No Bake Watermelon Cake recipe. I’ve never seen watermelon go so fast in my house! The kids were very excited when they saw this cake! They acted like it was a birthday party!! I was a bit surprised to see just how excited they were!  It’s made with a homemade whipped cream recipe that was really thick!  Holds up nicely!
I’ve been trying really, really hard to stick to clean eating and it sure does help when you have a beautiful arrangement of fruit that tastes amazing.  One of my main inspirations is the Clean Eating Magazine.  You can get the first 30 days free here on Amazon too!
All you iSavers already know about our No Bake Ice Cream cake recipe and have proven your love for the “No Bake” options but now it’s time to try a healthier no bake cake. I just know you are going to like this one too!
There are many different options you can do with this cake too. For example, you can use Coconut Whipped Cream recipe found here to make it Paleo friendly! Who says you can’t have Cake while on the Paleo Plan?!! You can add different types of fruit to the top of your cake. I choose to have raspberries and blueberries because those are our family favorites but feel free to experiment or add your own favorites. I added natural almonds to the sides of this no bake watermelon cake recipe but you can add granola too. Stick with the Almonds if you are Paleo though. Or leave the almonds off altogether if you don’t like them.

Here’s how we made our Watermelon Cake:

Watermelon Cake made with whipped cream
First we cut our watermelon. We cut the round ends off and carved the cake out of the heart of the watermelon like this:
How to cut a watermelon
Next we frosted our watermelon with real whipped cream. (be sure to use coconut whipped cream for the Paleo version though)
Note:  I’ve not used Cool Whip topping so I’m not sure if it would work or not.  The real whipped cream purchased from HEB near the strawberries works great though!
Tip:  Be sure your watermelon is nice and cold when you are frosting it. The whipped cream sticks nicely when it’s cold.

Next I added fresh raspberries and blueberries on top! Then added the sliced almonds on the side. Feel free to add granola to leave it plain too.
Wouldn’t this cake be perfect to make for a 4th of July Party?!!!
Oh and the cake held up nicely in the refrigerator overnight.  When I sliced another piece there was a little bit of water in the bottom of the plate so next time I think I will lay down a paper towel under the watermelon on the plate before I decorate it.  The whipped cream held up nicely overnight too!  For some reason I was thinking it would melt right off but it didn’t!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, diced (about ¾ cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium red pepper, finely diced (about 1 cup)
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with oil.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions, garlic, and bay leaf until the onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and cook until the pepper is tender, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the parsley and thyme and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool. Discard the bay leaf.
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, eggs, bread crumbs, ½ cup of the ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and the cooled vegetables. Use your hands to mix everything together.
Transfer the mixture to the center of the baking sheet and form into a loaf. Coat the meat loaf with the remaining ½ cup of ketchup.
Bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours (depending on the shape of your loaf), until the meat loaf is firm. Let set for about 5 minutes before slicing.
