Salmon with Soy sauce
Take a nice 1-2 lb. salmon, rinse in water and pat dry. Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Take 1/3 cup of soy sauce and gently pour over salmon while rubbing it in. Make sure that some of the soy sauce gets under the fish. If the fish has skin, lay the fish with the skin side down. After applying all of the soy sauce, grind fresh pepper over the fish to your liking. Then broil the fish in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes. Broiling time will depend on the thickness of the salmon. This really tastes wonderful and the fish is so moist and flakey.
Meat & Veggie Meatballs
1 lb ground turkey or beef
2 Egg Whites
1/4 c dried parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
3/4 c grated zucchini
3/4 c grated cauliflower
1/2 c finely chopped mushrooms or spinach
Mix ingredients together, make into balls. Place on non stick baking sheet & bake at 425 for 20 mins.
These are delicious just like this or you can continue on with the recipe. It makes lots of meatballs so stick the extras in the freezer for a quick meal later!
Optional:
Then I just throw some green peppers in to a skillet, saute, pour on the sweet & sour sauce and place the already cooked meatballs down in to the sauce for a minute or two and serve. (I like to pre-cook the meatballs in the oven because they get more browned, and stay together better than if you throw them in a crockpot with sauce IMHO)

1/4 c Vinegar

Chili-Lime Pork Chops
4 servings

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (I used garlic powder)
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 boneless pork loin chops 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick (1lb)
If desired: Chopped fresh cilantro; lime wedges
1. Pre-heat grill
2. meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all seasoning ingredients. Brush mixture evenly on both sides of each chop.
3. When grill is heated, place pork on grill surface. Close grill, cook 5-7 min or until pork is no longer pink in center (AP note: I turned mine once 1/2 through cooking to get good grill lines). Sprinkle pork with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Cauliflower Fried Rice
Serves 4 as a main course, 8 as a side dish
You can use raw meat, shrimp or prawns. Just make sure it’s in small pieces and thoroughly cooked before adding the eggs.
If you’re used to the darker version, add a splash of soy sauce - go easy or the rice may be too wet - and reduce the salt.
You can use this without the meat as a side dish. The variations are endless: a bit of curry powder, some grated lemon rind to go with fish, some chili powder…
2 lbs. trimmed cauliflower
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 cups diced, cooked meat
3 eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Grate the cauliflower using the medium sized holes of a grater or a food processor to finely chop. Grate the core too. With your hands squeeze out as much water as you can. This may not be necessary for some cauliflower as they vary in degree of wetness.
Over high heat, heat the oil in a wok or large heavy frying pan and add the garlic. Stir-fry until pale gold. Add the meat and fry until lightly browned. Break in the eggs and fry until softly scrambled. Add the grated cauliflower, sprinkle with salt and stir and fry until it’s tender-crisp, about 5-8 minutes. The length of time will depend on the cauliflower.
Stir in the green onion and pepper. Check the seasoning and serve.
