What a better way to start your week than with an easy dinner! This cauli rice bowl with teriyaki salmon is my go-to on nights I just want to throw something simple together for dinner! 
​
To make this dinner super easy, I always have a good teriyaki sauce on hand and some frozen veggies in my freezer. For teriyaki sauce, I love the Soy Vey gluten free sauce! In my freezer, I always have some cauli rice, string beans, & carrots! This way I can throw together a stir fry whenever

For the salmon teriyaki, simply marinate it in your favorite teriyaki sauce and bake on 375 for 20 minutes! You can top it with some sesame seeds as well :) 

CAULI RICE
You’ll need:
-1 pack of frozen cauli rice
-1/2 red onion chopped
-1 pepper chopped
-3 carrots chopped
-1 to 2 tbs teriyaki sauce
-1 tbs coconut aminos
-garlic powder -black pepper -sesame oil or another oil to stir fry the veggies in *you can sub in/ add any veggies that you like*

What to do:
-sauté onion, carrot, & pepper with sesame oil, garlic powder, & pepper
-Add any other veggies! I added cut string beans! -pro tip: microwave your cauli rice and THEN add it to the stir fry!!!
-Add coconut aminos & teriyaki sauce, mix in, & serve!! -Add in your salmon on top for some protein !

PEANUT NOODLES

Cold peanut noodles are one of my favorite dishes to order when I get Chinese food. However, being gluten free, I can't enjoy this dish out! I decided to make own recipe, so I could enjoy it at home! I used Palmini for the pasta, but any low carb pasta such as miracle noodles would work! 

First, stir fry the veggies together! I used... 
  • broccoli
  • carrots
  • shredded ginger
  • cabbage 
  • Palmini pasta

Then, while the veggies cook make the sauce! Whisk together... 
  • 3 tbs PB2
  • 3 tbs gluten free soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Red pepper flakes to taste
  • Water to make it a desired consistency

Pour sauce into pan, stir, and serve! Enjoy this delicious, low carb dinner! It pairs excellent with some fish or chicken!

TURKEY BURGER IN A HOMEMADE BUN

5/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
I love turkey burgers, but dining out they are usually not gluten free and eating them without a bun is no fun! I decided to make fresh, homemade turkey burgers with my own bun! To make the bun, I used F-Factor's biscuit recipe and cut it in half.  This recipe tastes like the real deal and although it does require a little work, it will never disappoint! 


F-FACTOR 20/20 BUN: (makes 4) 
INGREDIENTS
2 scoops unflavored 20/20 powder
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt
1 tbs coconut oil 
1 egg

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine dry ingredients together and then add in the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Scoop onto a parchment lined tray in 4 even scoops. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow them to cool and then cut in half or use 2 as a bun

TURKEY BURGER: (makes 4) 
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground turkey meat
1/2 finely chopped onion 
1 finely chopped sweet pepper
1 finely chopped green onion
Lots of finely chopped parsley 
1 minced garlic 
Spices: salt, pepper, paprika, & garlic powder (to taste) 

INSTRUCTIONS
Mix all of the ingredients together well. Simply form them into patties and refrigerate for about an hour so everything binds together really well. This isn’t required, but it makes the burger stay together really well. Plus, during this time you can prepare your 20/20 buns! Pan sear on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side!

​Now is the fun part... creating the burger 🍔 Spread avocado on the 20/20 biscuit and add the patty. Top with pickles, tomato, onion, lettuce and anything else! Pair it with some carrot fries for a great dinner filled with fiber and protein!

Usually, I'm always reaching for almond flour when creating a recipe. However, this time I decided to switch it up! Hazelnut flour is low in carbs, naturally gluten free, contains fiber, and relatively low in calories! Hazelnuts are also loaded with antioxidants and are full of nutrients! 

Anyway, these delicious blondies are gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free & grain free! They have a delicious nutty taste that will make you keep reaching for seconds! 

INGREDIENTS 
-2 eggs
-1/3 cup of almond butter
-1 tbs coconut oil
-1 tsp vanilla
-1/3 cup coconut sugar (can sub for monk fruit)
-2 cups hazelnut flour (see note below)
-1 tsp baking powder 


INSTRUCTIONS
First, preheat oven to 375. Mix together wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in another. Add dry ingredients to the wet and mix batter. Fold in chocolate chips 
and then transfer the batter into a parchment lined baking dish! Top with sprinkles to make it pretty :) Bake for 25-30 minutes and enjoy! 

​Notes:
You could sub for almond flour if you’re allergic to hazelnut flour!

ONE PAN MUSHROOM "SPAGHETTI"

Mushrooms have so many amazing qualities!!
Did you know that mushrooms...  
  • Are immunity boosters
  • Can help lower cholesterol
  • Are super high in vitamin D
  • Have anti inflammatory properties
​
Usually, I pass on the mushrooms just because i’m not a huge fan, but with this delicious dish, I was reaching for seconds (and thirds). I made this “spaghetti” with Palmini Pasta so it’s basically just all veggies!! You can substitute with your favorite low carb pasta or indulge in the real deal! Either way, this dish won't disappoint!! 

INGREDIENTS:
(Pictured is a serving for 3 people, but the recipe below is for 1) 
-1 pack of mushrooms (I used baby portabello) cut up 
-1/2 onion diced
-1 pack of noodles: I used hearts of palm noodles

-Chopped dill
-Garlic powder

-Salt & pepper
-Parm 

STEPS:
Sauté onion with a drop of olive oil. When it becomes translucent add in sliced mushrooms. Add in garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. To loosen up the sauce add about 1/8th cup of water and let it cook on low heat. Once most of the water evaporates, sprinkle in the dill. Meanwhile, rinse palmini and then add it in. Allow your pasta to cook for about 20 minutes and then add in parmesan cheese! Serve & enjoy :)
