Grilled Spicy Zucchini Meal Prep Sunday

I really wanted to create these grilled zucchini roll ups which had ricotta cheese in them, but my zucchini's had way to many seeds to really get a good roll on. When I knew the roll ups were not going to work I knew I could make something even more amazing. The great thing about this recipe is that is can be molded and shaped by you anyway you desire.

Recipe:

Ingredients:
One Black Zucchini
One can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies
Ricotta cheese

Cut zucchini in long thin strips. Grill them on a grill or a george foreman. Cut into slices and place into bowls/plastic containers. Add two scoops of Tomatoes and chilies mix to containers. Add about 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese. Eat chilled or warm. I actually eat them both ways!

Caution: this will burn your mouth!

Meal Prep Sunday 15 Apr 13

 

On Saturday I was sitting cruising facebook trying to decide how much my body wanted to do since it was hit hard with a cold or as my co-worker likes to call it: The Bionic Plague. I was really deciding to take a long hard nap when my phone rang. Picked up that damn phone to find out that the Cooking Class I signed up for started and I was tardy. So I brushed my teeth and headed out the door sickness and all. Heck, I paid twenty dollars to get my cooking on. Boy, am I glad I went because one of the recipes we learned because my Meal Prep for the whole week. It is called 'Salad in a Jar' and the recipe is by  Kelly Wisner. Who is an amazing woman. She is so passionate about food and the bees that we get along quite well. If you haven't had a chance to do any of the classes then let me tell you, you are missing out. Check them out here. You won't be disappointed and you will learn how to cook vegan and raw foods!

 

 

Salad in a Jar
by Kelly Wisner

Dressing Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Tahini Butter (or any nut butter)
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinager
1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
1/2 tablespoon of Soy Sauce (next I will be using Miso)
Ginger to taste

Salad Ingredients:
Snap Peas
Tomatoes
Beans
Red Pepper
Red Onion
Feta Cheese

Mix all the dressing ingredients in a blender. Chop all the veggies or fruits that you want in your salad. I actually chopped up all the ingredients listed in the salad ingredients section. Then leave over night in the fridge or use that day. Just pour over some greens and you have a meal fit for a Green Goddess!

HINT: Freeze your ginger and then just grate it. It comes out like powder and stays fresher longer.
