Spicy Cauliflower Coated Shrimp
1/2 cauliflower pulsed finely in food prep

S&P
Method:
Lay cauliflower crumbs on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with seasoning and bake in a 350 oven, turning every 10 minutes until lightly browned
Peel shrimp ans dip in egg white and then into cauliflower, pressing cauliflower onto the shrimp. Place on air fryer basket, spray lightly with cooking spray and pop in air fryer at 350 for 5-6 minutes. That's it!
Will's Anabolic Spinach Artichoke Dip
Approx 750 calories for the entire recipe so you do the math per dip depending on how big a dipper you are 😂)
14oz (400ml) can artichokes drained and chopped
10oz (aporix 280 ml) pack frozen chopped spinach thawed and we'l drainedl
1 cup (250ml) 0% greek yogurt

1/3 cup(80) Parmesan cheese
2 cloves peeled and finely chopped garlic
Method:
Preheat oven to 350*
Save a bit of the mozzarella for the top and then mix all of the other ingredients together well.
Transfer to an oven proof dish, sprinkle with reserved cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes. Heated through, brown and bubbly! This is crazy good!

This is so great. I have a really bad sensitivity to gluten and often find myself not able to eat offerings at gatherings especially this time of year. I try to offer to bring something I know I can eat. So many of your alternatives seem perfect and yummy. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays!

You're so welcome Cynthia! I appreciate you being here! Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🥰❤️💚

That cauliflower crumble is BRILLIANT!!! What a great coating for all kinds of things!

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you! You can spice up the cauliflower any way you like! It does take some time to keep stirring the cauliflower every 10 mins but it’s worth it! Merry Christmas!❤🎄

[@Anhenmelomania]

I need it for Christmas and New Year))) My original plan was just some baked vegetables and meat, but these are so much better! Thank you so much!

[@MamaTenny]

Hope you enjoy! Please let me know! If you do the shrimp, make sure to spice up the cauliflower enough, the first time I made it too mild. ❤ Merry Christmas!🎄🎅🏼

LOVE your ideas! Lower calorie snacks means more snacks :D Love the sneaky eggs and love your idea of hummus in the dressing, you are speaking my language lol! Congrats on approaching 30K subs!!

[@MamaTenny]

Yay! Thank you Blanche. Slow but sure! I’m making your salmon in pastry on Christmas night! I made it last year and it was fabulous! I used filo as I didn't have puff pastry and it was perfect! we have turkey on Christmas Eve at my MIL's and thats all the turkey Paul can handle! Thinking of you and wishing you all the best ❤️

Hope you like it!🍤❤️

[@Lizzy514]

These are beautiful. I politely assert fat is our friend. Whole egg is heart and brain healthy. ❤

[@MamaTenny]

Of course it is Elizabeth, you are so right!❤️But many people are desperately trying to cut calories and may choose their fat in the guacamole, the spiced almonds or the olive tapanade. It’s a big party!😂🥳 Best wishes to you for a wonderful holiday season!

[@lalablotz7348]

Happy Holidays 🎉

Same to you! Thanks so much for watching!❤

[@jonsmith9728]

idk about a cocktail party (lol i'm in my mid-30's give me a bit on that end haha) i've had plenty of parties though, not gonna lie even with the "fun drinks" i always find myself going for the low-carb healthier options (gotta give califlower mac-n-cheese a whirl sometime, high in fat, protein and micros and really filling, give it a try just once) will deff. give a few of these a whirl in the future, thanks nancy

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you Jon! I was filming a video today and I bought orange juice in the shot and only had visions of you telling me to add vodka and make a screwdriver! I don’t have to tell you to enjoy the holidays, I know you will! 😂🎄🎅🏼🍺🍹🥃

[@jonsmith9728]

@@MamaTenny in that case you and immediate family need to enjoy them with your xmas breakfast lol.... (side note i'm finishing my xmas shopping friday despite xmas being monday, like i said, last minute haha)..... have a great week

[@ElinorRumming]

Mama Tenny, I must know where you got that stemmed glass at the beginning of this video?! Also, the Caesar dressing is genius! I can't wait to try it!

[@MamaTenny]

Hi there and thank you! The glass is an oldie buy a goodie! It’s Stuart crystal, pattern Mayfair. It’s been discontinued for years. I got them at the William Ashley warehouse sale probably 30 years ago but I still love them ❤

[@ElinorRumming]

That is some gorgeous stemware!!! I'll keep an eye out on Ebay. Thank you! ❤

[@Ranch-girl]

I love these recipe ideas very much!! I’m 62 and only 5’2” @ 120 lbs, need to lose 5 more lbs. would you say it is more important to keep fat low or carbs low? Thank you sweet friend!!❣️

[@MamaTenny]

Hi there! The healthy fats will keep you full longer but you need to watch the volume (ie nuts!!!) the processed carbs are never going to keep you satiated. I could eat a whole bag of rice cakes and when done, still be starving! If you want to cut one of those 2, I’d say the carb. Don’t forget your protein!!!! HNY to you!❤️💪🏼

[@Bowhunter61]

The deviled 😈 eggs are the best ❤

They’re called Sneaky devilled eggs, like you 😂❤
