Meal Monday - Kale salad with homemade dressing

Another great one from the Fixate cookbook.

This salad was soooooo yummy!! Tastes like gourmet but made at home.

4oz of chicken breast, cut into strips 1/4 tsp ground chili powder 1 bunch of kale torn into pieces 2T lemon Dijon Salad Dressing - see below Use the crouton recipe I posted located in recipes.

Sprinkle chicken with chili powder. Cook chicken on high until cooked. Remove and set aside. Add Kale to skillet. Cook on high flipping once, until crispy, lightly charred. Put on plates, add chicken and croutons, top with dressing.

Dressing:

1 large egg yolk 1 T dijon mustard 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp of pepper 4 T lemon juice 1/4 cup of olive oil

Place egg yolk, mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon peel in a blender or food processor and blend til smooth. Slowly add in oil until blended.  

Pumpkin muffins with maple cream cheese

2 oz cream cheese

1 T maple syrup

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 cup of pureed pumpkin

1 1/2 cups of almond flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1 dash of sea salt

2 T of raw pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven 300.  

Prepare nine muffin cups by lining with muffin tin liners or coat with spray.

Combine cream cheese and maple syrup in a small bowl.  Mix well.

Combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, mix well.

Add almond meal mixture to egg mixture, mix until blended.

Spoon batter into each muffin cup, filling a little less than 1/2 full.

Spoon about 1 heaping tsp cream cheese mixture into center of each muffin. Evenly fill muffin cups 3/4 full with remaining batter.

Sprinkle muffins evenly with pumpkin seeds.

Bake 16 to 18 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool.

So I made these the first time and they were horrible.  Turns out it was the difference in flour.  Bought some cheaper version of almond flour and I will never do that again.

Heres a pic so you can see the difference
