Shepherds Pie - HCG Phase 2

Shepherds Pie ~ 


2+ cups of Cauliflower

a few whole garlic cloves 

Ground beef

Red Bell Pepper

Zucchini 

Chicken broth

Salt and Pepper.

Stop what you are doing and make this! This is truly AMAZING.
Cut up 2+ cups of cauliflower, place in baking dish or on tin foil with a few whole garlic cloves and bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Saute ground beef, red bell pepper, and zucchini or just throw it all on the George Forman Grill if you have one...so easy.) When cauliflower is done... place in blender with chicken broth...add chicken broth slowly to get it to the mashed potato consistency ( and they really do taste just like mashed potatoes, you cannot tell the difference.) Add salt and pepper. Mix everything together. This is one of the best P2 meals I have ever come up with. If you don't make this tonight you are missing out.

Cauliflower Bread Sticks - HCG Phase 2 & 3

Cauliflower Bread Sticks



Ingredients:
1 cup raw grated cauliflower or 100 grams (2 Greens)
1/4 cup egg (whites for Phase 2) substitute * you are able to add up to 2 oz of additional protein per Nutrition Support
1 cup shredded or 4 oz 2% light mozzarella, divided (1 Lean)(leave off for Phase 2)
Garlic salt and Italian seasonings, to taste

Marinara Sauce
1/2 cup Italian diced tomatoes - less than 5 g of carbs per serving (1 Green)
You can also use Walden Farms Marinara Sauce, but 1/4 cup is considered to be 2 condiments and is not a vegetable. You would have to add a third of veggies to your meal if you choose this option.

Directions:
Puree Italian diced tomatoes in a small chopper. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cauliflower, 1/4 cup egg substitute, and 3 oz or 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella together in a bowl until combined. Line a 9 x13 loaf pan with parchment and lightly spray with Pam. Pour mixture into pan about 1 -1/2 inch deep. (It is okay if the mixture does not cover the entire pan). Bake at 350 for 30 min or until set. Lift the edges of the parchment and place bread with parchment on to cookie sheet. Carefully use a spatula to lift the edges of the dough off the parchment and flip the dough. Bake for an additional 15 minutes at 450 degrees. Take out of oven and with a pizza cutter, slice strips through set dough. Separate slightly. Sprinkle with garlic salt, Italian seasonings and 1 oz or 1/4 cup 2% reduced fat mozzarella or three cheese blend. Continue baking at 450 degrees for about 10 more minutes until cheese is melted. Serve with marinara sauce.
