Blueberry Pancakes w/ Fresh Berries

GLUTEN&LACTOSE FREE CLEAN EATING RECIPE!

Ingredients
1/2 c dry oats ground to flour
4 egg whites
1/4 c water
1 t baking powder
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1 1/2 t vanilla
8-10 packets of Splenda/Stevia
1 c blueberries
1/4 c strawberries quartered
1/4 c raspberries
1/4 c sugar free maple syrup

Directions
Heat griddle to medium high (I use the 400 setting.) Mix dry ingredients in bowl. In separate bowl beat together (w/ hand mixer) wet ingredients until foamy. Gradually beat in dry mixture until light batter forms. Fold in 3/4 c blueberries. Spray griddle w/ cooking spray & scoop 1/4 c of batter onto griddle. Flip when golden brown (look for light bubbles to form, dry looking edges, will take a little longer than regular pancakes due to the oat base) Serve w/ hot syrup & sprinkle remaining berries on top. Enjoy!

Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients
2 pounds broccoli
2 T minced garlic
2 T first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 T lemon juice
1/4 c Parmesan cheese
2 T basil leaves

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 4 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, mix on pan til coated. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.

Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.


Seared Citrus Herb Tilapia

Ingredients
4- 4 oz tilapia fillets
4 T Olive Oil
1 T Minced garlic (I love garlic so I throw in extra- sorry for my breath lol)
1/4 c lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 t Paprika
1 T Parsley
(any of the salt free Mrs. Dash seasonings can be good too)


Directions
Heat oil on medium (til almost smoking)in large skillet. Quarter the 4 oz fillets, they cook quicker & allow more surface area for the seasoning to adhere. Mix ingredients in small bowl & add to pan- be careful the lemon juice may cause the oil to spit. Flip w/ metal spatula when edges begin to brown. Fish is ready & tastes the best when a golden crust is forming. Cover large plate in paper towels & place fish on towels to drain excess oil. Enjoy while hot!
