Gravy smothered meatballs with roasted green beans & red pepper 

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:


Yellow onion 
Chive 
Ground beef 
Fry seasoning 
Green bean 
Beef stock concentrate 

Not used:
Flour 
Sour cream 
Panko bread crumb 
Yukon Gold potato (not pictured)

Substitutes:
Gluten-free breadcrumb 
Cornstarch
Red sweet pepper 

The protein:

I pre-formed the meatballs earlier in the day and let them chill out in the fridge. Once it was time to cook these went into oven with the vegetables and were cooked for 16 minutes.

The veggies:

I had to substitute for the potatoes so I added some Red a pepper with the green bean. These were tossed with a little bit of avocado oil, salt and pepper. Then roasted with the meatballs for 16 minutes.

The sauce:

For the sauce the sliced onions were cooked in the butter and then fry seasoning and corn starch were added.  I used one quarter cup of Veggie broth, chives and the stock concentrate after the onions were browned. Additional butter and oil were not used.

The plate:


The fry seasoning Gravy was pretty good on the meatballs.  I think it would also work well for meatloaf too. The switch of peppers for the potatoes (while really good) dropped the calorie count here but the meal was still really filling.  I think it was a really good trade off.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
