Lemon Berry Swirl Cheesecake

Crust
1 1/2 cups almonds
2/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon pure vanilla

Grind the almonds into a flour in a food processor. (unfortunately our blender wasn’t capable of this so mine were still a bit chunky!!)
Add the raisins and continue grinding until broken down.
Add the coconut and vanilla. Grind again to incorporate.
Add another 1/2 – 1 teaspoon water if needed to keep the mixture held together when pressed in your hand.
Press evenly into the bottom of a 12″ spring form pan.

Filling
3 cups cashews
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup agave or other liquid sweetener (I used golden syrup)
Pinch of salt
Lemon zest (from all juiced lemons)
1 cup melted coconut oil
4 cups mixed berries

Blend all except the oil and berries.

Add half of the oil and blend again until completely smooth.
Transfer 1/2 – 2/3 cup of the mixture to a small bowl.
Add all the berries and other half of the oil back to the mixture in the blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the filling evenly over the crust.

Pour blobs of the lemon cream on top.

Using a chopstick, push each blob down into the berry filling before swirling it into the berry cream on the surface.
Chill in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

So I’ve made this a few weeks back and fooled everyone. This is not mashed potatoes. This is mashed cauliflower. Less calories, less carbs, more vegetables, without reducing the flavor or adding any preservatives. If there are ever any “secrets” when it comes to this healthy lifestyle, then this would be it.
This is the recipe I used:
Ingredients:

8 cups or 1 head of a Cauliflower Floret
4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1/3 cup nonfat buttermilk (or milk)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Snipped fresh chives for garnish (optional)
Method:
Place cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.)
Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor (or mash finely with fork). Add milk, 2 teaspoons oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.

Veggie Packed Turkey Stuffed Zucchini 

This is a great recipe in which you can sneak in a lot of veggies. It tastes amazing too! 

470 Calories & 8 Points Plus

Ingredients: 

-5 oz lean ground turkey 

-2 large zucchinis 

-Chopped up veggies, I used: tomato, asparagus and green beans. 

-FInely chopped onion and garlic 

-1/4 cup Light shredded cheese I used Provolone 

-Seasonings of choice I used: black pepper, onion powder, italian seasoning, cumin, garlic powder and paprika. 

Directions: 

  1. Wash and remove ends from zucchini. Slice in half and place them in a container with salt water (this helps remove the bitterness from the zucchini) set aside. 
  2. Chop up the onion and garlic and your choice of veggies. 
  3. Sauté the veggies, onion, and garlic until the garlic browns a bit. 
  4. Add in the ground turkey and the seasonings. 
  5. Let the turkey cook until it is a barely brown and you cant see any raw pieces. 
  6. Remove from water and pat dry the zucchini. Using a spoon scoop out the center of the halves (you can add this to the meat if you want) 
  7. Scoop in the meat into the zucchini shells and top with the shredded cheese. 
  8. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.

Sub the meat for tofu scramble and the cheese for…. something and I’m all over it
