After you cut you zucchini in half, place in a large pot and boil for 10 minutes
while your zucchini is boiling, brown your hamburger meat, adding minced garlic and your spices.
Once the meat is done, drain off any fat and set aside
When your zucchini is done, take out and scoop out the meat of the zucchini and place in a strainer to strain off any juice in it
Take the inside of the zucchini after it's strained and mix it with your meat mixture and add a beaten egg.
Take your mixture now and place inside the scooped out zucchini and sprinkle mozzarella on top and then bake at *350 for at least 25 minutes, about 5 minutes before it's done take a sliced up Roma tomato and place them on top to finish cooking with the dish.

My Revolution rolls with protein powder





My way of doing REVOLUTION ROLLS with Protein powder
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 egg yolks
1/2 scoop of vanilla why protein powder
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tbls of caraway seeds

Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, protein powder and cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Gradually fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites being careful not to deflate the whites. Spray a baking sheet or muffin top pan with cooking spray. Divide the mixture into 6 mounds then flatten them slightly. Bake at 300ยบ 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top but soft and not dry and crisp. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then cool completely on a rack. Store in an airtight bag in the refrigerator.

you can add whatever flavoring you want to the egg mixture, like dry mustard or caraway seeds, rosemary, thyme...etc and remove the splenda if you want

I double this and it makes 12 buns in a muffiin top pan

Makes 6 rolls if not doubling

*UPDATE - I now only use the protein powder when using the RR for something sweet, for my hamburgers I started making the buns without the PP and started using onion powder with caraway seeds, I love it for that cuz it doesn't have any eggy taste*

Coconut flour tortillas


1 Tbls of coconut flour
pinch of baking powder
2 egg whites
2 Tbls of water
dash of salt

Mix the coconut flour and baking powder with the water (or milk) and egg whites. Whisk or blend until all lumps disappear (I usually mix, then wait a couple of minutes and mix again).

Pour all the batter on a heated pan greased with coconut oil or butter (grease well). Pour batter in center of pan. Tilt the pan around to spread the batter into a large circle, almost covering the entire bottom of the pan.

Be very careful with this part: wait until the edges are brown on the side of the tortilla, or carefully circle spatula around the bottom of tortilla until safe to flip. Once safe, flip the tortilla and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side.
