Green Smoothie

TOTAL TIME: 5 MIN      

BLENDING: 4-5 MIN      

SERVES: 1

 -Celery, 3 ounces (weight loss)

-Cucumbers, 3 ounces (weight loss)

-Granny Smith Apples, 5 ounces (Regulates blood sugar levels)

Super Greens, 4-5 leaves (reduce risk of cancer and regulates blood sugar levels)

Lemon, 1/3 (Immune system)

Lemon Zest

Water, 1/3 cup

Ice, 2/3 cup 

1. Take out your blender and all of your ingredients.

2. Cut up each of your ingredients so they work well with the blender.

3. Does not matter whether you cut or dice because we are measuring by ounces to make this correct.

4. This should make a 16 ounce smoothie for one person.

5. I recommend putting the apples, celery, cucumbers, lemon, greens and water in the blender first. Blend for 4-5 min. If you blend for less than this you might get a chewy smoothie.

6. After all of it is blended add your ice to make it nice and cold.

Serve and enjoy!!

Mushroom & Onion BBQ Burger 🍔

 PREP TIME: 1 hr      

COOK TIME: 20 min      

SERVES: 4

Ingredients 

- 1/4 cup of butter

- 2 onions sweet 🧅 onion or yellow

- About 3 cups of mushrooms 🍄 

- 2 tblsp Maple BBQ rub

- 1 pound Hamburger meat 🥩 

- 4 slices of Swiss cheese

- BBQ sauce

- 4 Toasted Hamburger buns

Directions

 Place 1/8th of the butter in a skillet and caramelize your onions.       It’s a lot at first but it goes down a lot. 

Use the other 1/8th butter to sauté 

the mushrooms.

Mix the rub into the hamburger 

meat and make 4 patties.

I make one at a time, But if you 

have room for more than add more.

On my skillet at medium heat it takes

3 min on each side to be perfect, 140°.

Put the cheese on the last minute and 

a half. Pay attention to your temp for your Stove top or grill to get the right temp for the type of burger you want. At 120° the burger is rare, at 130° it’s a medium rare, at 140° it’s medium, at 150° it’s a medium well and add 160° it’s well done. At 140° there is no pink. 

Meanwhile toast your bun.

When patty is done place on your bun. Then add BBQ sauce, then onions, then mushrooms and 

then your top bun. 

Serve with your choosing; chips, 

coleslaw, salad, potato salad, fries, 

veggies, corn on the cob, macaroni 

salad, Broccoli salad, Mac n cheese, 

BBQ baked beans.

8. Serve and enjoy
