Turnip Fries

french fries, turnips, veggies most, ilana muhlstein, vanessa mclaughlin, vanessa.fit, vanessa.fitness, vanessadotfit, autumn calabrese, tosca reno, low carb
Love, love turnip fries!! 
They are SO good!!
They stink while they cook, but there is a subtle, nutty sweetness! Probably ate too many since I ate the all of them!!! 😂😂

They are a great substitute if you're missing french fries. Also, if you're following a keto, paleo, gluten free, or just all around healthy diet, turnips are a low carb veggie, so they fit perfectly into any of these nutrition plans.

INGREDIENTS
3 pounds turnips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil and lightly grease.
Peel the turnips, and cut into French fry-sized sticks, about 1/3 by 4 inches. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the vegetable oil to coat. Place the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder in a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Place the oiled turnips into the bag, and shake until evenly coated with the spices. Spread out onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until the outside is crispy, and the inside is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

My new snack bar that I'm crazy about!

Kind bar, clif bar, autumn calabrese, 21 Day Fix, gluten free snack, low sugar, low fat, tosca reno, clean eating

I don't know about you, but as a busy mom (this term is redundant), I would always have a cache of Kind bars, Clif bars, Cascading Farms bars, and others that I thought were "healthy," and of course were an easy snack. In my purse, in my car, in any bag I carried, I had these bars. For me, my husband, or my sons, snack bars were perfect for when the "hangries" appeared.
Until I looked at the sugar content of some of these. Then the other ingredients - like soy lecithin, and other ingredients I didn't recognize. 

This is why I am so grateful for BEACHBARS!!! 

What Is BEACHBAR?

BEACHBAR is a crunchy, chewy, and delicious snack bar that with a quality source of protein and just 150 calories — perfect for a wholesome anytime snack.

BEACHBAR comes in two flavors: Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Cherry Almond. Both are made with nut pieces, nut butters, and protein crisps, and topped with a ribbon of chocolate. They are gluten-free, have 0 grams trans fats, and contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

At 150 calories per bar, you get 10 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and 5 to 6 grams of sugar. BEACHBAR is the perfect on-the-go snack to keep you going until your next meal. My kids love them, even the one who only eats peanut butter!!

And since they’re both delicious and nutritious, BEACHBAR snack bars are also great snacks for meetings at work, traveling, or tossing into your child’s lunch box.
How Do I Purchase BEACHBAR Snack Bars?

BEACHBAR combines crunchy protein crisps, nut pieces, chocolate chips, creamy nut butters, and fruit chunks (in the Chocolate Cherry Almond flavor only) to deliver delicious, satisfying goodness in every bite.
Whey protein crisps — Whey protein comes from milk and delivers all nine of the essential amino acids that you need to help promote lean muscle.

Spinach and Ground Beef Stuffed Portobellos

mushrooms, portobello pizza, keto, gluten free, recipe, Autumn Calabrese, Tosca Reno, Ilana Muhlstein, Vanessa.fitness, vanessa.fit, vanessadotfitness, vanessadotfit, vanessa mclaughlin
I was born in Italy and raised on the Italian flavors of garlic, marinara, mozzarella, and parmesan. These staple flavors make an appearance on my meal plan each week. 
With this recipe, I took the elements of lasagna filling—ground beef, ricotta, spinach and Parmesan cheese—and nestled them into roasted portobello mushroom caps. The recipe works best with very large portobello caps; if you can only find smaller ones, buy one or two extra and divide the filling among all the caps. I served with sautéed, zucchini noodles covered with marinara and sprinkled with parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
4 large portobello mushroom caps
Cooking spray
2 cloves finely chopped garlic (I use a microplane and grate it)
1 cup  ricotta cheese (I use whole milk ricotta)
1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped kalamata olives
½ teaspoon dried basil (I used chopped fresh basil in the summer)
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup mozzarella cheese (I used Trader Joe's Almond Milk mozzarella)
¾ cup prepared no sugar marinara sauce (I use Trader Joe's organic marinara because it has no sugar)
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Place mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the prepared pan. Spread chopped garlic on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper pepper to taste. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in sauté pan, place 1 TBSP evoo and cook about 1 minute, then add ground beef, 1/2 tsp basil and 1/2 tsp oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until browned, and cooked through. 
  4. Add marinara sauce to ground beef mixture and keep warm. 
  5. Meanwhile, mash ricotta, spinach, ¼ cup Parmesan, olives, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste  in a medium bowl. 
  6. When the mushrooms are tender, carefully pour out any liquid accumulated in the caps. Return the caps to the pan gill-side up. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara into each cap; cover the remaining sauce to keep warm. Mound a generous ⅓ cup ricotta filling into each cap and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. 
  7. Bake until hot, about 10 minutes. Serve with the remaining marinara sauce.
** Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.
