STRAWBERRY SORBET

Allotted amount of strawberries
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon Stevia (as needed)

Freeze fresh strawberries about 1 hour.  
Blend fresh frozen strawberries, lemon juice & stevia
in blender until very well blended.  
You can serve immediately or place in freezer to allow it to
firm up even further.  
I love to top it with fresh mint as well.  

If you don't want to wait, you can always use your fresh
strawberries without freezing them and simply add some ice & water.

BROILED CINNAMON GRAPEFRUIT

1 grapefruit
cinnamon, to taste (optional)
sugar substitute (as needed)

Peel grapefruit & remove skin from each section.
Toss the sections of grapefruit with cinnamon and sugar substitute.
Broil until cinnamon & sugar substitute caramelize.  

Reminder - this makes 2 fruit servings.  
You can always broil 1/2 grapefruit

MADDIE'S CHICKEN SALAD

(you can also do this with crab meat or shrimp)

Dice 3.5 ounces of chicken very fine
chop 7 ounces celery (or more)
add dash of mustard, salt, pepper, cayenne, vinegar, and
whatever herbs you like
(I use savory and parsley for this one)

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Serve Chilled.

I eat it just like that or sometimes i 'cheat' and grab one HUGE
romaine lettuce leaf and eat it like that - taco style.

GRILLED ONIONS, CHICKEN & GRAPEFRUIT STIR FRY

3.5 oz chicken breast (skin removed, no visible fat)
3.5 oz red, yellow or white onion
1/2  grapefruit peeled and cut into small pieces

Place salt, pepper, herbs and spices of your choice in the bottom of a skillet.  
Add onions and 3 tbs of water or herb tea.  
Stir fry until tender and transparent.  
Remove from pan and set aside.  
Add chicken pieces, salt and pepper to pan and water if needed
for steaming the chicken, simmer on medium heat till chicken is well cooked.
(This works well with frozen chicken tenders, just put frozen
meat in pan with smaller amount of water or tea and simmer till done).
Place onions, grapefruit and chicken with juice from pan in a bowl.  
Toss with salt, pepper, herbs and spices.

CYNDY'S HCG DEVILED EGGS

4 Eggs
1 Tomato
1 Tbs finely minces fresh parsley
Salt
Pepper
Onion Powder
Dry mustard
(all seasonings should be used "to taste")
Apple Cider Vinegar
Paprika

Hardboil 4 eggs, cut them in half and discard 3 out of the 4 yolks
(According to Simeon in on a limited basis you can substitute 1 full egg plus 3 whites in the place of the meat portion)
Seed then mince 3 Tbs tomato and a small amount of parsley and mixed it with one hard boiled yolk and the minced white of one half an egg. You can do this recipe without adding the white to the mixture but this will allow your deviled eggs to have a nice mound of the filling.
Add salt, pepper, onion powder and dry mustard then conservatively add the apple cider vinegar just to moisten (not too much!)

Slice the remaining tomato and sprinkle with salt pepper and a splash of vinegar.

HCG Swiss Steak

100g steak
1 T meat dry rub (see dry rub recipe)
1 T Soy Sauce or liquid aminos
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1 stalk celery cut only enough to fit in pan
1 onion - sliced
1 tomato - diced
1 c beef or chicken broth


Preheat non-stick pan over MED-HI heat.
Wet steak in soy sauce.
Dredge steak in meat dry rub, coating both sides.
Add steak to pan and brown on both sides.
Transfer steak to mini crockpot, if you don't have a mini crockpot, put in small glass baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
Cover with garlic, onions, and diced tomato place celery on top of all so it can be removed..
Top with beef broth. Don't stir!
cook on low until and add more liquid if necessary until desired doneness is reached..
When done serve with juices from crockpot.


NOTE: This dish includes 3 vegetables. When finished cooking, you can discard celery that will leave you with onions as your vegetable and tomato as your fruit serving. This can be eaten as is or you can pour it all over miracle noodles.

I recommend soaking the miracle noodles in broth before serving as they pick up flavors and this will enhance the flavor.

********************************************************
Dry rub recipes are very easy just pick your favorite spices here is one I like.

1/2 c minced dehydrated onions
1/4 t coriander
1 t thyme
1/2 t red pepper flakes
1/8 t oregano
1 t paprika
1/2 t black pepper
1/4 t salt


Place all ingredients in spice grinder.
Grind to a powder.
Store in air-tight container.

This works great as a great coating for beef, fish, chicken, shrimp, scallops ...use your imagination.


if your meat is dry dampen before coating
This makes quite a few portions.

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Minced green onions and parsley

Balsamic Mustard Crusted Steak
3.5 ounces filet or London broil
1 t. mustard powder
2 t. balsamic
1⁄4 t salt
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Mix all seasoning in a mixing bowl. Line a broiler pan with foil and place steak on top. Coat evenly with mustard mixture and let stand 10 minutes. Broil steak to desired doneness. 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Seared Steak & Caramelized Onions
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3.5 oz beef tenderloin (filet mignon) or sirloin steak, trimmed
Over medium heat in a large skillet, add onions and ¼ cup water.  Cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Water will evaporate while cooking.  Add additional water if necessary to reach desired doneness. Add broth, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the onions to a bowl; cover to keep warm. Clean and dry the pan.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on both sides of each steak. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the steaks are cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Serve the steaks with the caramelized onions.

Apple Cobbler

1 sliced apple (Braeburns are great)

Beligian Endive and Apple Salad

1 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups julienne-cut Golden Delicious apple (1 large)
1 or 2 heads Belgian endive, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise (about 4 cups)
1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

Combine first 5 ingredients stirring well with a whisk.  Add apple and the remaining ingredients; toss gently to coat.  Serve immediately.  Yields 8, 1 cup, servings.  You can make the dressing early in the day and toss the apples with it to keep them from browning, but make sure to cut the endive just before serving.

This can be made with other varieties of lettuce or even without for a simple but, unique fruit salad side.

The original recipe called for 1/2 T. of walnut oil which adds a nutty flavor but, not allowed while on HCG.  Once you are in the last phase, give it a try.

[ZoeZigg]

The yield is 1/4 that listed above as I'd cut the recipe in half - sorry.
