Clean Crab Cakes

Oh my gosh so I was craving crab cakes like a crazy woman but could not find a "clean" crab cake recipe to save my life so my husband said, "Why don't you make your own?"  He's a genius right?!  LOL But he was right!  A lot of times we get wrapped up into searching for clean recipes when we can create that clean recipe ourselves, it may just take a little more thought ;) But if you're looking for a clean crab cake recipe, try this one out, it was DELICIOUS!! AND for all my Beachbody peeps, it's 21 Day Fix Approved!!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces of lump crab meat
  • 3/4 cup of Panko Breadcrumbs or any kind of bread crumbs you may have handy will work
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • half of a chopped onion
  • half of a red pepper
  • 2 tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt
  • Himalayan salt, pepper, garlic powder, & onion powder to taste
Directions

Spay your baking sheet with the cooking spray and preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a bowl combine the Panko bread crumbs, eggs, Greek yogurt, crab meat, & seasonings to taste.  Mix everything together until evenly mixed.  I then put the crab mixture in the fridge for about 15 minutes.  Remove the crab mixture from the fridge and form into patties.  Place crab patties in the oven for 10 minutes, flip patties, and cook on the other side for 10 minutes.  Serve immediately!  I served my crab cakes over a bed of roasted garlic quiona with a side of veggies but you can have it over a bed of brown rice or by itself!  After coming up with my own crab cake recipe, I didn't have the patience to come up with a sauce LOL so we just topped it with a drizzle of hot sauce!  YUM YUM!!

Stuffed Zucchini Pizza Swords

These stuffed zucchini pizza swords has become one of my family's favorite meals!!  It's already been requested for dinner again this week!  They are so easy to make, delicious, & CARB LESS!  You guys know I live for carb less dinners :)  This one is perfect & kiddo APPROVED #DoubleWin

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  •  Mini zucchinis (I did 2 per person)
  • 1lb of lean ground beef or turkey
  • 2 cups of sugar free marinara 
  • Mozzarella/ Cheddar cheese
  • Grape tomatoes 
  • 1 onion
  • 1 green pepper
Directions

Chop onions & green peppers. Cook ground turkey/beef, onions, & green peppers in a pan until all parts of the meat have browned – I cooked mine in a little extra virgin olive oil w/ a few twists of Himalayan salt.  Mix in your marinara & return to a low heat.  Cut your zucchini in half, use a spoon to dig out the center to make an indent.  Top your zucchini with the meat mixture & top it off with tomatoes.  Cook in the oven on 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the zucchini is cooked through & semi soft.   5 minutes before your swords are done, sprinkle with cheese!  ENJOY your swords & try not to hurt anyone!! :)
