I've stumbled upon a keeper salad recipe. If you like briny foods (olives and marinated artichoke hearts), try it.

-mixed salad greens (the small box, not the massive one)

in a big bowl
-15 sliced mushrooms
-1/2 head shredded red cabbage
-4 grated carrots
-1 halved and then sliced hot house/english cucumber

-1 pint cherry tomatoes (I keep them on the counter, not in the fridge)

-jar sliced green olives
-2 small jars marinated quartered artichoke hearts

-balsamic vinaigrette (I use Newman's Own Creamy Bal. Vin.)

Mix a handful of greens, about 1.5-2 cups veggie mix, a small handful of cherry tomatoes, 5-6 artichoke quarters, about 2 tbsp green olives and 2 tbsp dressing.

It makes 6 salads and everything pretty much runs out at the same time, except the artichoke hearts and dressing.

Flavors and textures go well with cold shrimp, if you want to make it a meal.

When I'm cutting I like to add soup to a meal to feel full and make a big pot of this soup from Well Fed 2 cookbook and clothesmakethegirl . com every week. I can't post links yet so copied and pasted:

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 large cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon (mild) to 1 teaspoon (hotter) powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (if you’re not on AIP)
4 medium zucchini, about 2 pounds, chopped*
4 cups high-quality chicken broth

Directions:
1. Heat coconut oil in a large soup pot on medium heat, 2 minutes. Add onions, then smash garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife or the bottom of a glass and add to pan. Stir often and cook until the onions and garlic are soft and golden, but not browned, about 7 minutes. Add salt, ginger, and black pepper; stir to combine.
2. Toss the zucchini into the pot. Stir to coat the zucchini with fat, then cook ’til beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the broth, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer. Let the zucchini cook 45 to 60 minutes until it’s very soft.
4. VERY carefully, purée the zucchini and broth in a blender or food processor, or with an immersion blender. If you’re using a blender, work in batches, filling the canister only halfway and holding a towel over the lid while you purée. Eat immediately, or store in a covered container in the fridge.
Tasty garnishes: My favorite right now is dried or fresh chopped chives. The green tops of scallions are also yummy. You would not be remiss if you drizzled a little sesame oil across the top (but only if you’re not on the AIP).

I make it with 1/2 low sodium chicken broth and 1/2 low sodium beef broth as in the cookbook.

When made into 4 servings (which are HUGE bowls), it is 83 cal, 10 g carb, 5 g protein, 4 g fat. I love adding it only my lunch to get some extra veggies in.

5 TBLSP natural peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup oat flour (if you don't have oat flour, use another
1/2 cup of oats)
6 scoops chocolate whey protein
1 tsp vanilla
2 TBSP flax seeds (optional)
1 cup non fat dry milk
1/2 cup water (you may need more water depending on
whey protein)

Mix together dry ingredients. Add peanut butter and mix. It will be crumbly. Add water and vanilla. (Use a spatula sprayed with non stick spray) and mix completely (dough may be very sticky). Put in a greased 8x8 pan and either refridgerate or freeze until hardened. Cut into 9 squares. Wrap individually and take with you.

Microwave Peanut Butter Protein Cookies!

1 scoop Matrix Peanut Butter Cookie whey protein powder
4 tsp butter
2 packets Stevia (or to taste)
Water, added 1/8 tsp at a time
Optional: mini dark chocolate, enjoy life dairy free, or carob chips

Directions:
1) Heat the butter in a bowl (should be slightly bigger than a cereal bowl to allow for mixing) for about 30 seconds in the microwave, or until melted.
2) Add the stevia and mix throughly. Once granules are (mostly) dissolved, add protein powder. Stir.
3) Add water 1/8 tsp at a time and mix until a dough forms. It should not be so wet that it looks greasy, but it should stick together and allow you to form it into balls.
4) I recommend "baking" them one at a time on a tea plate. Depending on your microwave, nuke them for 10-15 seconds.

So yummy
