Next add the remainder of the shredded cheese and top with your peppers and olives. Bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow 20 minutes before slicing.
Cauliflower Rice (Tasty rice substitute, low in carbs) First, you want to "rice" your cauliflower. Head of cauliflower 2-4 cloves of garlic 1 TBSP olive oil Green onions Onion Red pepper Green pepper Couple Tablespoons of low sodium organic stock - veggie, chicken or beef will work **Optional seasonings: Dash of sea salt, Dash of pepper, Dash of cumin, or Dash of chili pepper Add veggies of choice. You could add chopped celery, carrots, zucchini and/or mushrooms. Cut the florets off first, then there are two easy ways to do this; either toss it in your food processor and give it a rough chop until it processed down to rice sized bits (don t overdo it), or you can use a cheese grater and grate it. Or, you can always chop it up by hand. Heat up the tablespoon of olive oil and toss in your garlic and onions first and get those warmed up. Then add your "riced" cauliflower, along with the stock and anything else you want to toss in there. Take the heat down to low, stick a lid on it and let it simmer for about 20 min. This is awesome side dish with any protein. You could add some hot sauce or Bragg's Aminos to taste.
Egg & Veggie Muffins 7 egg whites 1 whole egg sea salt and pepper coconut oil spray 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh spinach leaves, chopped 1/4 cup cooked broccoli diced 1/4 zucchini diced 1 mushroom Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat pan sprayed with coconut oil over medium heat. Add the spinach, broccoli, zucchini and mushroom and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk your eggs, salt and pepper. Stir in the cooled vegetables. Add 1 tbsp of the cheese and stir to combine. Spray a large muffin tin (the one I used held only 6 muffins) with coconut oil spray. Fill each tin about 1/2 full with the mixture. You should be able to get 5 or 6 muffins with an oversize tin like I used, or 9-10 muffins with a regular 10-muffin tin. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the egg is no longer soft. Enjoy!
