DINNER

PizzaDilla

This is one of my favorites. But I have to say, I really thought that I had invented something here, and was pretty disappointed when I Googled 'pizzadilla' and found a LITANY of pizzadilla recipes. Hey, at least this one is clean and Fix approved, right? For all of the items listed, try to choose the ones that have the least ingredients on the ingredient list to keep it as clean and quick as possible.

• 1 whole wheat tortilla
• 1/4 cup part skim organic shredded mozzarella
• Jar of Pizza Sauce (I use Trader Joe's)
• Toppings of your choice (I use turkey pepperoni, but you can get crazy here with veggies or whatever you like on your pizza!)

Heat your oven to 350℉. Thinly coat the tortilla with pizza sauce (I use about a teaspoon). Spread the cheese evenly across the tortilla, and top with toppings. Fold in half (carefully so that the stuffing doesn't escape!). Place on a baking sheet or stone, and put in the oven. Bake for about 5-7 minutes on one side, flip, and bake for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.  Remove and slice!

Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs (From The Beachbody Blog)

This is such a warm and hearty meal, and I LOVE my Crockpot!!!

• 1 lb. raw 93% lean ground turkey
• ½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt), divided use
• ½ tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• ½ cup whole grain panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 (28-oz.) can whole tomatoes, crushed
• 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves

1. Combine turkey, ¼ tsp. salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, and cheese in a large bowl; mix well with clean hands.
2. Roll mixture into eighteen 1½-inch meatballs. Set aside.
3. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add half of meatballs; cook, turning occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until meatballs are browned on each side. Place browned meatballs in a 3-quart slow cooker.
5. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Set aside.
6. Add onion to same skillet; cook, over medium-high heat, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
7. Top meatballs with cooked onion, tomatoes, oregano, and remaining ¼ tsp. salt; cook, covered, on low temperature for 5 to 6 hours, stirring once or twice.

I like to serve this over zoodles or spaghetti squash, but you can also sub in whole wheat noodles of your choice!

Thai Shrimp and Veggies

This ridiculously exotic and decadent meal comes from The Foodie and The Fix. I used multi-colored carrots and peppers to add a POP of color and fun.  :)

• 2 cups carrots, spiralized or thinly sliced (if spiralized, 2 cups packed)
• 2 cups red bell pepper, thinly sliced (2 peppers)
• 2 cups fresh spinach (packed)
• 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• salt and pepper for seasoning
• cilantro, chopped (as much as you like!)

Sauce:

• 1 (14 oz) can of full-fat coconut milk
• 1 Tbs raw sugar
• 4 tsp creamy peanut butter
• 1 Tbs low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tbs sriracha - or to taste

Instructions
Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper on both sides, set aside.
In a skillet with high sides bring to a boil (over medium heat) all sauce ingredients (leaving out the sriracha if serving this to kids, then you can just add some to each grown-up's bowl, although I just went lighter on the hot sauce and my kids still loved it!). Add the carrots and bell peppers, cook until crisp tender, 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add in the spinach and the shrimp and cook, again stirring occasionally, until the the shrimp is pink and opaque.

Top with as much chopped cilantro as you like! (Don't like cilantro? Use basil instead!)
Serve with rice, cauliflower rice, whole grain noodles or even all by itself if ya like.

Mongolian Beef (Adapted from A Saucy Kitchen)

Whole 30 compliant Paleo Mongolian Beef | 10 ingredients, gluten, sugar, & soy free

• 1 1/2 lb flank or skirt steak sliced against the grain in 1/4 inch bite sized pieces
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon tapioca flour or arrowroot flour divided
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon water divided
• 2-3 medjool dates pits removed
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger minced
• 1 tablespoon garlic chopped
• 1/3 cup coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
• coconut oil for frying
• 2 large green onions sliced on the diagonal into one-inch lengths
• sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

1. Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dip the steak pieces in the flour, lightly coating the sides of each piece. Let the beef sit while you prepare the sauce. This will give time for the tapioca/arrowroot to stick.

Sauce

1. Remove the pits and roughly chop your dates before adding them to a blender or food processor with 1/3 cup water. Blend on high until the dates are broken down and mixed into the water. Set aside.
2. In a medium sized sauce pan, warm 2 teaspoons coconut oil on a medium low heat. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and sauté for a minute or until they become fragrant. Gently pour the date water into the pan along with the coconut aminos and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and turn to a medium heat, bringing the sauce up to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes. Stir every so often to prevent burning.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon water with 1 teaspoon tapioca/arrowroot starch. Whisk until no lumps remain and then gently add it to the sauce to thicken. Taste ans season as you go - add more salt to your preference. 
4. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside while you prepare the beef.
5. In a large wok or skillet, heat up enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the beef pieces to the wok and sauté for a couple of minutes or until the edges start to turn a darker brown. Flip over and saute the other side for about a minute. You will probably have to cook in batches. After all of the beef has been cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the wok. Place on a paper towel lined plate and drain the oil from the pan.
6. Return the wok to the stove top and add the beef back in. On a low heat, stir and warm the beef for a minute. Pour the sauce over the top and add the spring onions. Cook for another two minutes before removing from the heat.
7. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice* and enjoy!

*To make cauliflower rice, simply wash and cut cauliflower into chunks, and then pulse in a food processor until rice consistency. Heat a teaspoon of ghee or coconut oil in a skillet and saute over medium-low heat until warmed through.
