1 Head of Cauliflower
1 clove of garlic
Sprinkle of parsley
1 Table Spoon of heart healthy butter
salt and pepper to taste


Directions
Makes 4 1-cup servings
Cut off outside leaves, wash cauliflower and cut into quarters.
Place in a 1-quart sauce pan filled with cold water and boil until well done (should be soft)
Drain and add the butter
Mash like potatoes until light and fluffy
Sprinkle with parsley and salt and pepper to taste



Number of Servings: 4

Soy flour pancakes
* 2 eggs
* 1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup yogurt
* 6 tablespoons protein powder
* 1/3
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 Tbsp olive oil (two can be used for density)

* 1/8 tsp salt (more or less to taste)

Alternative:
Soy Flour Pancakes

1 cup soy flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg or equivalent sub
1 tbs canola oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
Cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and sugar sub to taste

Whisk all ingredients together and cook as you would regular pancakes, 1/4 cup of batter at a time.
Makes about 7 3-inch pancakes.




Directions
Heat griddle or pan to medium-high heat.
Use non-stick cooking spray or butter (Smart Balance is my favorite!) before dropping batter onto the pan.

Pour batter onto pan so that the pancakes are about 4" in diameter (smaller is ok too but bigger than this and they will be difficult to flip).

Makes about 6 4" pancakes...about 2 servings.

************REMEMBER***************

Be creative!!

For a salty snack, top with cheese, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

For a sweeter snack, top with natural nut butters or make a nut butter sandwich. If you like sugar-free stuff try some of that too.

GOOD LUCK!!!! = ]
