Meredith and I made shrimp tacos again. We skipped the beans but otherwise, it was basically the same. Meredith made the same salsa too. Both the salsa and the cauliflower rice are not pictured.
I started to do the tortillas in a bigger pan assuming it was okay that they didn't all have perfect contact with the bottom. In doing do, I realized I should try them on the grill. The grilled ones were a bit chewier than the pan ones and the pan ones were altogether better but the grill was so much easier. (I'll need to figure out how to do this if the grill is messy next time)

Meredith made chocolate chip beet muffins for Caroline. She used a recipe from Inspiralized (LOCAL). Her only real note is that she went heavy on the beets (~3oz). Also, she found she could easily mix the chocolate chips by running the blender on low for a few seconds.
The color was very pretty and even mostly stayed when baked.

Meredith made Mezze Bowls inspired by Tone it Up. She used her own romesco and added cauliflower. I also put some of a Salmon Croquette on it (we were defrosting some for Caroline).

Meredith made Zucchini & Caramelized Onion Egg Muffins from Tone it Up
Added a potato crust à la Inspiralized. She didn't use anything else from the recipe so I am not posting a local copy. You spiralize a potato (non-noodle setting) and then layer it and blind bake it at 350°F for ~15-20 min.
Probably cooked the veggies longer and used canola oil. Also went heavy on garlic powder and salt. It made 9 instead of 6. May have been more veggies than it calls for.
(BTW, the recipe says one zucchini but they are all over the place in size. Meredith used a smaller one)

Meredith made protein muffins from Tone it Up. We liked them and they were lower calorie than the Blondie muffins but not as good!
Used almond meal when given the option

Meredith made Southern Banana Pudding
Baked it in two containers with just two layers each, instead of three. It was probably a wash as far as banana usage.
We haven't tried it yet but I wonder if it will have less banana flavor since there is only two layers of them. Will update when we try them but the pudding is great even without bananas so I'm not worried.

Meredith made Paula Deen's Southern Deviled Eggs with 10 eggs so roughly scaled up.
I steamed the eggs but, based on last time, I steamed them for 15 minutes which worked really well!
Meredith followed the recipe except with smoked paprika on top. But we both forgot that the first time she made these, she did some greek yogurt and a little bit of mayo. We should do this again!
By the way, it is about 70 calories each
