Meats

 Ingredients 

6 leaves Romain Lettuce
1 tbsp fat free cheddar cheese
4 tbsp Trader Joe's reduced guilt guacamole
2 tbsp Organic Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
3 oz Grass Fed Top Sirloin steak (I actually only used 2.8 oz b/c that's what I had leftover)
Cholula Chili Lime Hot Sauce

Directions

1. Cook steak to desired temp (I like mine medium rare) and let rest.
2. Layer two leaves lettuce on top of each other, with ends facing opposite ways (this way you have crunch on both sides)

 Spaghetti Squash Chicken "Pad Thai"

Nutrition: 2 cup serving, 331 cals, 29g carbs, 9g fat, 31g protein

 Ingredients

2 cups spaghetti squash
5 oz chicken breast, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 egg
2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp crunchy organic peanut butter
4 tbsp water
1 bag steamer veggies of your choice
Siracha if you like

 Directions

1.  If you don't already have spaghetti squash cooked, slice the squash in half length wise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place squash half face down in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup of water and bake for approximately 35  minutes. 
3. Once the squash has cooled a bit, run a fork across the squash and you'll see "spaghetti". Note: Depending on the size of the squash this will make about 6 - 8 cups.
4. Spray a hot pan with cooking spray and saute chopped chicken. Once chicken is cooked, scramble the egg in the same pan.
5. Crush 2 cloves garlic and saute with eggs and chicken. Be careful not to overcook the garlic.
6. In the meantime, microwave your steamer veggies. (You can also use fresh veggies, but I suggest sauteing them in a separate pan)
7. Add 2 cups of spaghetti squash to the chicken and eggs along with peanut butter, soy sauce, and water. Stir until combined. If the sauce looks too thick add a bit more water. 
8. Finally add vegetables, stir, and enjoy. I topped mine with siracha :)

3. Spray a muffin pan with with non-stick spray or place liners in the pan.

5. Divide batter into 12 muffin cups. Don't worry about filling the tin up as the muffins will not rise much.

7. The muffins may stick when hot but are removed easily when cooled for a bit.
