Shrimp Fajitas

We love this recipe so much that we actually made it two nights in a row.

I adapted this recipe from Finecooking.com.

Ingredients:

For the shrimp:
1 lb. cooked shrimp
1 Tbsp. oil (I used canola)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. light brown sugar
1/4 tsp. oregano

For the veggies:
1 Tbsp. oil
1 yellow onion
1 green bell pepper
5 roma tomatoes (mine were pretty small)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. cilantro
1 lime, juice of
2 tsp. vegeta
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. chili powder

tortillas
cheese-optional
sour cream-optional


Directions:

For the shrimp:

1. Place the shrimp in a medium bowl. Make sure it's completely cleaned and patted dry. Add in oil. Mix well.
2. Add in the rest of the spices and the brown sugar. Mix well and make sure all of the shrimp is coated evenly.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

4. When the veggies are almost done preheat the oven to broil. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and broil 3-4 minutes on each side. Be careful to watch the shrimp the entire time.

For the veggies:

1. Heat a large deep skillet on medium. Add the 1 Tbsp. of oil.
2. Slice the onions, green pepper, and tomatoes into thin slices. Add to the hot pan and stir well. Add the seasonings. Saute for 10 minutes, stirring often. Lower the heat if necessary.
3. Add garlic and saute an additional 5 minutes. Mix in cilantro. Saute 2 minutes.

To assemble:

1. Heat the tortillas in the microwave between paper towels. About 30 seconds.
2. Pile each tortilla with veggies and shrimp. Add any additional toppings such as salsa, cheese, and sour cream.

Enjoy!

Breakfast Pizza

Serves 6

Ingredients:
Pizza crust-I used cauliflower crust
1c. yellow onion, chopped
1 tomato, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 large eggs

Cheese sauce:
1/4 c. milk (unsweetened almond milk)
1 tsp. flour
1 c. fat free cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions:
1. Prepare and bake crust completely. Preheat oven to 450.

2. In a large saucepan, saute onions on medium-high for 3 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, and black pepper. Let saute for 5 minutes.

3. Meanwhile make the sauce: In a small saucepan heat milk and flour on medium. Just before it boils remove from heat and stir in cheese. Since it's fat free it won't be runny like a regular sauce.

4. Add eggs to the onion mixture. Combine well and let them cook a few minutes.

5. Spread cheese sauce over crust. Top with eggs. Broil for 2-3 minutes.

Waffle for One!

I wanted a waffle. For lunch. Yeah, that's right. It was lunch time. And it was divine. 

You know what I didn't want to do? Make 12 waffles. 

I also didn't want to dirty a million different dishes (I hate dirty dishes). 

So I made up a recipe! I wasn't sure if it was going to work...I searched online for a recipe and they all called for at least one egg and I ate the last egg for breakfast. 

Quite the dillema. 

I made up this recipe without eggs...and it worked! It was fluffy and delicious. 

I ate mine with peanut butter and honey.

Scroll down for the nutritional value on the bottom of the page :)

ENJOY!

Ingredients:

1/2 c. flour (I used half wheat, half all-purpose)
3 oz. milk (I use unsweetened coconut almond milk)
1 tsp. oil
1 tsp. sugar or sweetener
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat waffle maker to hot.

2. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir just until combined. 

3. Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. Pour all of waffle mixture. Follow waffle maker instructions.
