The Complete Plate: 120 Recipes
· 30 Meals · A Stronger, Healthier, Happier You by Lauren
Klukas features meal plans for 1,500, 2,000, and 2,500 caloric
diets to demonstrate that weight maintenance, and weight loss, can
be achieved through the science behind a balanced diet that meets
nutritional goals. Here, the author features 30 daily meal plans
with each day’s intake perfectly balanced to provide 100 percent of
your macro and micro nutrient needs, based on current daily
recommended intake values.
Lauren was a competitive swimmer and coach before she became
a certified personal trainer. In 2013, she was diagnosed with
arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, which stopped her
exercise regimen immediately and inspired The Complete Plate philosophy, website, and her cooking show. This Q & A published at Figure 1 provides more
details and fun facts about the author.
The 90 recipes in this title range from an indulgent Coconut and
flax seed French toast’ to a savory ‘Portobello and prosciutto
pizza’ to a nourishing ‘Creamy corn, ham, and Roast pepper
chowder,’ and include additional snacks so that readers are
satiated and energized throughout the day. In order to provide you
with a clear picture of how recipes are displayed and work with
this three option caloric plan, I have set out the recipe we are
sharing today in the manner in which the author does in the
book.
Every dish in this book is approachable and tempting and gives one
hope that even without an exercise regimen (due to medical
issues) weight loss and maintenance while eating well are still
achievable. Special thanks to Figure 1 Publishing for sharing the
recipes for these savoury scones for EYB members to try now. Be
sure to enter our giveaway below open to US and Canadian
members.
Prosciutto, cheese, and caramelized onion
scones
Add this recipe to your Bookshelf (click the blue +Bookshelf
button).
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat, add onions to skillet (avoid overcrowding), and cook for 5-7 minutes, until translucent. Reduce to low heat and cook for another 15-20 minutes, until caramelized and brown.
3. In a large bowl, add remaining 1 cup chopped butter, sugar, buttermilk, flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until ingredients are just barely combined. Add flaxseeds and mix for another 5 seconds. The dough should be wet to the touch.
4. Add prosciutto, mozzarella, and caramelized onions to the dough, and mix for no more than 5 seconds. Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently flatten with your hand, until 1-inch thick. Cut dough into 12 even squares and place, spaced evenly apart, on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
