She has a bunch of recipe for her 5 minute cake that is AWESOME! When you are trying out her recipes don't forget that she is at the maintenance stage so there might be a few changes that will make it a bit easier for us in the earlier stages. Below is the first cake of hers I ever made with a couple of changes.
Shelly's Apple Cinnamon Protein Cake
1/4 cup Eggbeaters (Shelly uses 1 egg)
3 Tablespoons Milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Caramel Torani Syrup
2 Tablespoons No Sugar Added Applesauce
1 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Shelly uses 2T oil)
3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix ( I used Red Mill)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Walnuts chopped (Shelly uses pecans)
1 Tablespoon Raisins
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I used Muscle Milk Light)
Pinch salt
In a measuring cup or microwave safe mug, mix egg, milk, syrup, applesauce and oil and combine thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix pancake mix, cinnamon, nuts, raisins, protein powder and salt. Tip dry into wet and stir till combined. Nuke in microwave for about 2 minutes. Let it sit for three or so minutes (it pulls away from the sides) before tipping the cake onto a plate. Yields 4 slices.
I garnished with Sugar Free Cool Whip and a little cinnamon. Awesome hot or cold.

I use ground turkey for saucy dishes like sloppy joes and taco filling.
Our grocery has prepackaged sloppy joe mix where you add tomato paste - this keeps the sugar down.
For tacos I use a mix or just a can of enchilada sauce.
I eat mine on a low carb tortilla or arnold thin.

They can be pretty filling so I try to put some protein in with the veggies. Shrimp would work but I like chicken or turkey.
