STUFFED EGGPLANT
We get a lot of requests for maintenance recipes, and this dish provides that option. Eggplant is one of our family favorites. It is easy to grill, sauté or bake and can add more options to your vegetable choices. You can easily halve this recipe, if you don’t need as much. To enjoy this dish while on plan, just leave off the cheese and limit the amount in your serving.
STUFFED PEPPERS
Stuffed Peppers are a classic favorite that are perfect for the fall and winter months ahead. They are an easy meal to prepare that provides great leftover meals during the week and can also be made ahead of time or frozen. Stuffed peppers are even better the next day. You can vary the ingredients to bring variety to your menu, too. Use ground beef, turkey or chicken or cauliflower rice instead of zucchini. You can omit the mushrooms if you’re not a fan and add more zucchini or cauliflower rice or mix both.
ZUCCHINI CINNAMON MUFFINS
Enjoy a warm, spiced treat that fits your wellness goals! These zucchini cinnamon muffins are low-carb, gluten-free, and made with clean ingredients—perfect for maintenance or a smart cheat-day choice.
CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are a favorite for many and probably one of the top requests for a recipe. It is a family favorite of ours, too. The reason this is left for maintenance is because chicken wings vary so greatly in size and differ between flats and drumettes, so it’s hard to get a correct protein count. Most wing recipes contain varying sauces, which can contain a lot of sugars, but this recipe uses spices to flavor the wings as they “fry” in the oven. They are wonderfully crispy, too!
CRISPY AIR FRYER CHICKEN PATTIES
Air fryers are great for many reasons. They are especially helpful to keep these patties together in the cooking process. The mozzarella cheese helps hold the patties together as they cook. This recipe uses canned chicken to make them even easier (ground chicken will not work). Enjoy them with a dipping sauce, like the Genesis “Honey” Mustard or Ranch Dressing or see the NOTES below for other ideas. This is a maintenance recipe, so there is not an exact measurement. This recipe can be cut in half, as well.
CREAMY MUSHROOM CHICKEN
This recipe is so delicious! It will rival your favorite restaurant dish, yet is so easy. This is a maintenance or special occasion recipe due to the amount of heavy cream in this recipe, so portion sizes are not exact.
CHEESEBURGER PIE
This is an easy and delicious recipe that will become a family favorite. It is versatile, as well, because you can either eat it plain or change up the seasonings for a totally different flavor. It’s a new favorite for our busy household. If you have time to brown ground beef, this is your meal – and it bakes in just 30 minutes.
COCKTAIL FRANKS
Also known as Little Smokies, cocktail franks are a party favorite and perfect appetizer for the holidays. This recipe, however, avoids the sugar-laden grape jelly and barbeque sauce that is commonly used in this dish, but still maintains the sweet and tangy flavor you crave. You could always skip the sauce recipe and use our barbeque recipe as well. Avoid Hillshire Farms franks and those with preservatives, sugars and artificial ingredients. Instead, opt for Boars Head Uncured Cocktail Beef Franks, Trader Joe’s Uncured Beef Franks, or other brands that are uncured and clean. This recipe can be eaten as part of a meal with one serving being 3 oz of protein, a maintenance recipe or as a special occasion appetizer.
CREAMY HOT TUNA DISH
While it may not be tuna casserole, this is a nice, tasty option for more variety. It is very easy to make and can be eaten several ways. It would be good with salmon instead of tuna, too.
CHUNKY APPLESAUCE
This Chunky Applesauce by Dr. Cindy Tanzar is fresh, flavorful, and easy to make. Perfect for holiday tables, special occasions, or freezer-friendly gifts!
