It’s Saturday morning July 1st and yes we are in the office seeing people. Helping everyone achieve their weight loss, health and fitness goals. So many people came into the office today telling me how much they enjoyed the sushi recipe that I recently posted.
So I have decided to post a few more recipes today that are Paleo and Vegan-friendly and also quick and easy to make. Two of the recipes I am posting are for a Caesar dressing and for guacamole. These two recipes are loaded with great tasting vegetables and spices and personally I think they taste better than the store-bought versions. And they are definitely more healthy for you. I’m also going to give you the recipes for Honey Drizzled Romaine Lettuce Wraps and Ashley’s Super Salad.
These recipes taste fantastic and they are all paleo and vegan friendly. And if you are not following a Paleo or vegan diet it doesn’t matter because these recipes just taste so good and as an extra bonus they will help you lose weight.

So there we have it four great recipes that taste good and will also help you achieve your health and weight loss goals. I decided to put the Caesar dressing and the guacamole recipe in this post because a lot of new patients have been coming into the practice and for the most part they are eating a good diet but some of the things that most people seem to be getting wrong are the types of salad dressing and dips they are using. And that’s why some of my more recent posts have included recipes for diet friendly dressing and dips.
If you, a loved one or co-worker would like more information on our medical weight loss program I invite you to call and speak with Lisa and she will schedule you for a complimentary consultation. Just call us at 215-821-7336 and schedule your visit with us.

Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia Late Night Veggie Sushi Recipe
Hi everyone Dr. Kenny here. Well it’s 11:15 PM Wednesday night and I am here on our website posting this recipe because it was so good I could not wait until tomorrow morning to share it with all of you. Today was another great day at our Medical Weight Loss Center with lots of happy patients losing weight. We finished seeing patient at 9:00 PM and that means I arrived at home at 10:00 PM. I was hungry but didn’t want anything too heavy so my wonderful wife, Elyse, surprised me with a wonderful new recipe. She made me a Raw Sushi Roll.
But instead of using raw fish she used raw vegetables and it was so delicious. So much so that I had to type up this article and posted on our website.
So here is the recipe:
The ingredients are as follows:
Ingredients:
- nori seaweed sheets – 4 sheets
- bib lettuce leaves – 4 leaves
- alfalfa sprouts – 2 cups
- julienned cucumbers – one large cucumber
- shredded carrot – one large carrot
My wife made this recipe by taking the nori sheet and just spreading it out in front of you and then lay one leaf of the lettuce across the nori sheet. Next very gently take all of the vegetables noted above and spread them out on top of your lettuce leaf. And then just roll the nori sheet around all of your vegetables. Just make sure that it’s rolled tight. Now all that you have to do is take some water and moisten the end of the sheet and seal it and fold it up just like you would fold or close an envelope.
Then take a sharp knife and you can slice your roll into pieces. Now you just have to dip it into one of the delicious salad dressing recipes that I have here on the site and enjoy. Since this sushi is mainly vegetables you can eat as much of it as you like. I hope you will enjoy this recipe because I really did this evening. If you, a friend, loved one or coworker need help with losing weight I invite you to call and schedule your complementary weight loss consultation.

Cheese Wrapped in Prosciutto and Fried*
- Ingredients:
- coconut oil or olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- unsalted butter – 2 tablespoons
- frozen string cheese – 8 pieces
- prosciutto – 8 slices that are very thin
- any type of herbs that you like – oregano, tarragon, thyme or even sage.
- Marinara sauce
Of course this is another one of my all-time favorites! First I take up and and I heat the oil over medium heat. Then I unwrapped the cheese. Now comes the fun part, wrapped each piece of cheese with one slice of prosciutto making sure that you wrap up the entire piece of cheese including the ends. If you like you can actually now sprinkle your chopped herbs for more of the crust. Then just take each piece of the frozen cheese wrapped in the prosciutto and place it in the pan and just fry it. Make sure that you are turning it often until it becomes a bit crisp and the cheese starts to soften. This happened very quickly you should only take a few minutes. Now all you have to do is set them all the platter let them cool down a bit and you could dip them in the marinara sauce. I do have to say once again this is one of my all-time favorite recipes.
