Leana’ Fajita (Coconut Flour Tortillas)

Lately I have seen many fitness, paleo, and low carb chefs cooking with coconut flour. Coconut flour has an amazing nutrition profile that is high in fiber and low in net carbs along with some extra protein and healthy fats to boot. We love cooking with almond flour, but we figured we could give coconut a try to see what all the hype was.  All I can say is that I am glad we did! We had read that you can make tortillas with coconut flour and egg whites

Lean Mean Chicken Tagine

We decided to shake things up and buy an eggplant. The problem was that we didn’t know what to make with it though! That’s when I googled eggplant dishes and found the idea for this delicious Moroccan meal. Filled with tons of flavor and satiating fiber, one bowl is all you need to be satisfied! You can decrease the carbs and fat by adjusting the squash and olive oil respectively. Calories (per serving): 458 Protein: 29 g Total Carbs:

Leaner Lasagna

Okay so technically this might be considered a casserole but I like the name. Plus, we made layers so close enough! The credit for this recipe goes to Dr. Abby Ramseyer (an OB GYN who has lost weight with a Leaner Living lifestyle!) after we talked about how awesome spaghetti squash was. She became infatuated with the delicious vegetable and began making all sorts of dishes. Calories (per serving): 205 Protein: 25 g Total Carbs: 14 g (11.5 g net)

Meat Lovers Cauli-Almond Pizza

When I first heard about making a pizza with a cauliflower and cheese crust, I really didn’t believe it could possibly be good. Well I tried it and it WAS GOOD… but it could have been better. It needed a breadier taste (is that a word?). I decided to tinker a bit in the Lean Kitchen (it’s really just a normal kitchen, but it sounds good right?). By adding almond flour and removing some cheese in the crust recipe, it seemed to do

ParmeLean Chicken

I can’t think of many people who don’t like a good parmesan chicken dinner. The good news is that the chicken provides ample protein for getting lean, the bad news is that the added bread crumb crust provides ample carbohydrates/unnecessary calories for gaining fat. There is a solution! Just like our Mozzarellean Cheese sticks, we have substituted the fattening bread crumbs with the almighty ALMOND FLOUR! If you are used to making this

Super Simple Spaghetti Squash

I was lucky enough to first try spaghetti squash while working with a guy named Dr. Serrano (he has done a lot in the weight loss industry). I never actually heard of spaghetti squash up until that point and it is amazing that many others have not discovered this gem of a vegetable. It looks just like a big squash on the outside and inside. But when you cook it, something magical happens… It softens up on the inside and when you run a fork through

Perfect Pesto Pizza

This is the first of a few Leaner Living Pizza recipes. I chose the Perfect Pesto Pizza first simply because it is my favorite! I believe it is my brother’s as well. Pizza is generally thought of as junk food because of its high calorie / fat / carb content, but with our touch, we turned it into pure Leaner Living gold! Even though we will be posting other pizza recipes, the basic concept will remain the same – The crust is a low-carb
