Recipe #1: White Bean Artichoke & Kale Dip:
Ingredients for this include: 
- Enough Butter to grease your cast iron pan
- 2 Tbs Avocado Oil or EVOO
- 1 Bunch of Kale, ribs & stems removed 
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Pepper
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 can white beans, drained & rinsed 
- ½ C Plain nonfat greek yogurt  
- 2 jars of marinated artichokes (6.5 oz drained and chopped)
- 1 C extra sharp white cheddar cheese (grated)

1. Preheat oven 350; Butter a baking dish (10x6” or 8x8” or I like to use a quiche dish or cast iron pan)
2. In your cast iron pan, heat oil over medium heat; add kale and a pinch of salt, cooking until wilted, transfer to a large mixing bowl
3. In a food processor combine the beans, garlic and yogurt and puree until smooth
4. Transfer the bean puree to the bowl with kale, mix in artichokes, cheddar, salt and pepper until combined well 
5. Spread mixture into baking dish & bake 30 minutes; if you want a browned top place on broil for 3-5 minutes
6. Serve with fresh pita wedges, pita chips or crackers of choice

Recipe #2: Bunless Chicken & Feta Sliders
Ingredients 
16 oz of Extra Lean ground chicken (could also use beef or turkey)
4 oz Garlic & Herb Feta Crumbles
3 garlic cloves minced
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp onion powder 
3 Roma or Plum Tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds
2 Cups Romaine lettuce, broken into slider sized pieces
-    Wooden skewers
Dipping sauce of choice- I love Primal Kitchens Chipotle Mayo but you could also use ketchup or even Pesto

Instructions:
I use my Panini press which I find is the easiest way to quickly cook my sliders BUT you have the option to cook on grill, griddle, stovetop or bake in oven on 400 degrees
Thoroughly Combine first 6 Ingredients in a mixing bowl
Roll mixture into tablespoon sized balls if using a press and shape into patties if baking in oven
Cook until center is no longer pink and burgers appear done and begin to turn a golden brown  (If baking this will take about 15-20 minutes)
Once sliders finished and cooled, assemble onto a wooden skewer or toothpick in the following order: Lettuce, Tomato, Burger & serve with dipping sauce of choice

Recipe #3: Sweet Potato Chipotle Shrimp & Guacamole Bites

½ Bag of Alexia Sweet Potato Waffle Fries or Baked Sweet Potato “Chips”

½ lb cleaned & peeled uncooked shrimp
½ tsp chili or chipotle powder if you have it
½ tsp paprika 
½ tsp cumin 
1 tsp salt, split in half
½ pepper
1 Tbs EVOO or Avocado Oil

Instructions: 
Bake your sweet potato fries per the instructions on the bag
For Chipotle Shrimp: In small bowl mix shrimp, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, chili or chipotle powder; Heat oil large sautee pan over medium high heat; add Shrimp to pan and cook 2-3 minutes on each side until pink
Prepare the guacamole by combining avocado, lime juice, vinegar, salt & red pepper flakes in a food processor and blending until mixed thoroughly; if you prefer chunky mash/combine with fork 
To Assemble: place a dollop of guacamole on top of SP Fry, one shrimp and a sprig of cilantro for garnish.

Recipe #4: Caprese Skewers w/ Balsamic Glaze
Ingredients:
1 Container of cherry tomatoes
1 Container of Fresh Basil 
1 bag of mozzarella “pearls” (found at publix or harris teeter)

Instructions:
Rinse Tomatoes & Basil
Break apart basil leaves into quarter sized pieces
Assemble skewers with Tomato, basil (may need to fold), and mozzarella pearl, repeat sequence 
Drizzle with balsamic glaze if serving immediately or if I am making these the night before I will “marinate” them in a freezer bag with honey balsamic dressing, flipping bag over 1-2 times
