Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Hot Buffalo Chicken dip...HELLO! 



Any 21 Day Fixers in the house? Hammer & Chiseler's? I just made this up for lunch...was trying to be creative. Lord. Heyseus....this is amazing! This is the perfect portion controlled way to enjoy a better version of something not usually so healthy!
1/2 red of 0% greek yogurt (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 red chopped chicken (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon of salsa
1/2 tablespoon of minced onion
Hot sauce to taste (I used Franks Sriracha)
A smidge of fresh cracked pepper and sea salt

Mix altogether and put in an ovenproof bowl. Bake for 15 minutes at 3:50. Dig in!
I serve mine with a side of snap peas! Enjoy! 

**Last few minutes of baking top with a little grate of cheddar cheese if desired.  A little goes a long way!

Kicked Up Zucchini Boats

I was wanting to whip up a boats recipe for 3 days and was trying to find one that I saw on someone's Facebook wall.  I had no luck and grew impatient, so I whipped my own concoction up. It.  Was.  WICKED!

If you are 21 Day Fixin' it, here is the breakdown for each 1/2 of the boat, based on the size zucchini I chose:
3 GREEN (salsa & zucchini) homemade salsa is all veggies, no sugar, FYI
1 BLUE (cheese)
1 RED (turkey filling)



So here is the down low on ingredients and prep.  First preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

You will need:  

Turkey taco filling (see below)
Shredded cheese of your choice
1 large zucchini
Wendy's Bitchin' Salsa (click link for recipe)

Filling:
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced

Put these in a fry pan over med high heat to start to sautee then about at the 1/2 way done point I just threw in these spices:
Chili powder
cumin
smoked paprika
coriander
oregano
Sea salt
fresh cracked pepper

I did not measure, but I will say about 1 teaspoon of each for estimation sake.

Finish frying til meat is fully cooked.  Remove from heat. 

Cut zucchini in 1/2 lengthwise and with a melon baller (a spoon will do too), scrape the soft inside seedy part out.  The nastiest part...haha!!  Spray a baking dish with olive oil.  Set the zucchini in pan skin side down, and give the 2 halves a light mist of olive oil.

Take about 1 1/2 cups of your turkey taco filling (yes there will be some left over...make a salad with it tomorrow!) and put in a bowl with 1 cup of Wendy's Bitchin' Salsa.  Mix together and divide mixture between the two zucchini halves.  

Cover with foil and bake in oven for 25 minutes.  Remove foil, sprinkle with cheese and return to oven, uncovered for the last 5 minutes.  Remove from oven and TOTALLY dig in and enjoy!
