Breakfast, lunch or snack…here’s a quick and yummy protein packed muffin!

This recipe is lacto-ovo vegetarian not vegan, meaning it contains both eggs and dairy.  I always prefer to use organic eggs and dairy products when I need them for a specific meal.  If you are dairy-free just swap the same serving amount of cheese and milk for your dairy-free preferences that best suit your needs. This recipe is gluten/wheat-free.

I’ve baked these in both paper cups and re-usable silicone cups, and they came out to perfection in the silicone cups!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup organic whole milk
  • 1 cup aged cheddar or swiss cheese (grated)
  •  5 organic eggs
  • 4 tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion chopped
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped kale (any variety)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:

  1. crack eggs and pour into a medium size bowl
  2. add milk and beat with a whisk or fork until blended
  3. add cornmeal and continue to whisk
  4. add oil/salt/pepper
  5. add all veggies
  6. stir everything well
  7. line muffin tray with silicone cups
  8. pour mixture in each cup
  9. bake @350f for 30min. let cool and enjoy!!

Krispy Kale & Tuna Salad

Tuna is usually something I crave during the warmer months, however, it’s such an easy and quick way to get a great dose of protein, vitamin D and heart/brain healthy omega-3 fatty acids. All essential nutrients during those long winter months!

When it comes to prepared tuna, I really prefer high-quality tuna thats prepared in jars versus the canned variety. If you only have canned tuna available in your local grocery store,  be sure to find one that’s packaged in extra virgin olive oil or water versus soybean and or other oils. Cans contain aluminum and since tuna sits on shelves for a long period of time, try to minimize your exposure and by limiting the number of canned foods you ingest.

Here’s a great simple kale salad with all the Italian flavours!

Ingredients:

  • green curly kale
  • fresh cherry tomatoes
  •  black dried Italian olives
  •  red onion
  • jarred Italian tuna
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • pepper

Directions:

  1. wash, pat dry and remove stems from kale
  2. lay on a flat baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and fine salt
  3. bake @350f for 12 minutes until crispy
  4. add to serving plate
  5. slice onion and cherry tomatoes and add sparingly
  6. add desired amount of tuna
  7. drizzle olive oil and add pepper (tuna and the kale is already salted and so extra salt isn’t necessary)
  8. serve with your favourite bread (warmed)
