Veggie Lovers Spaghetti Squash Bake!

If you liked my Spaghetti Squash Bake, then you will definitely love this one. This recipe is almost the same as the spaghetti squash bake except it is low fat and stuffed with delicious green peppers and onion.

Follow the same recipe but with THESE CHANGES;

this time I used a SMALLER SQUASH (I was only cooking for me plus some leftovers for lunch =-)

Substitute MARGARINE for the butter

Only use a small scoop of sour cream and 1 EGG

Add tobasco for some more flavour

Extra red pepper flakes and thyme!

Use a whole small onion (because i love onion, plus its good for the heart)

dice up some GREEN PEPPERS AND MUSHROOM and toss em in the mix :)

I also used a little less cheese this time, but only a little less... because cheese is my life.

ENJOY and let me know what you think ;)

Cauliflower crust pizza!

EASY HEALTHY RECIPE for a Carb free dinner!!

Using Cauliflower for the dough... AMAZING, tastes just like pizza except you don't feel nasty, gross and bloated after having a few slices. I made about a 10' pizza and it fed 3 of us girls. Put whatever toppings you want, and I used vegan cheese, however, using regular cheese would be fine since you aren't eating any carbs!!

Just use a cheese grater to grate the cauliflower until you get about two full cups.

Cauliflower Crusted Pizza

Serves 2-3 people.. about 9-12 inch pizza

Ingredients:

CRUST:
1/2 LARGE head cauliflower (or 2+ cups shredded cauliflower)
1 large egg
1 cup vegan cheese (OR REGULAR :)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion salt

TOPPINGS:
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup vegan cheese
1/2 cup olives (i love olives)
1/4 cup green peppers
1/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup sliced mushroom

1. Shred the cauliflower. YOu can use a food processor if you would like. One head of cauliflower will give you about 2 cups.  Place the cauliflower crumbles in a large bowl and microwave them (dry) for 8 minutes.. Set aside to cool down


2. Crust: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet or pizza pan with nonstick spray (or use a nonstick surface). In a medium bowl, mix the cauliflower with the remaining crust ingredients. Pat the "crust" into a 9 to 12-inch round on the prepared pan. Spray the crust lightly with nonstick spray and bake for 15 minutes (or until golden). Remove the crust from the oven and turn the heat up to broil.

3. Prepare the pizza: Spread the sauce on top of the baked crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on top. Add the veggies!! Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Broil the pizza 3 to 4 minutes, or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted. Cut and Serve!

First blog post-Dinner Time- Stir Fry

Well one of my favourite things to do when I get home from a long day at work is make dinner. This is what I made for dinner tonight and I'm pretty impressed with myself.

I called this Yummy Tofu Stir Fry:

All you need is
Olive oil/coconut oil
Balsamic vinegar
Brussel sprouts
Carrots
Trader joes southern greens blend
Extra firm tofu
Minced garlic
Worcester sauce
Siracha

Put some olive oil in a pan. Cut the brussel sprouts in half and put them in the pan. Put the carrots all chopped up in the pan too. Poor balsamic vinegar over top. Cover and mix occasionally for 5 mins. Take carrots and brussel sprouts out of pan and put them aside in a plate.;

Use the same pan while its hot and add coconut oil and chopped up tofu for one min. Add Worcester, garlic some more balsamic vinegar, cover for one min. Add a big handful of greens to the mix. It starts out as a lot but shrinks somehow to a quarter the size so don't be scared to fill up the pan to the top full of greens- it will shrink.

Cover and stir occasionally for 2 mins.

Add the brussel sprouts to the pan for another minute and mix everything up.

Put it on a plate, drizzle with siracha and enjoy my friends thank u for being a part of my very first blog.
