pizza omelet 1

Serves: 2

Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

3 Eggs

4 Egg Whites

1/4 Cup Coconut Milk

1 tsp Coconut Oil

1/2 Cup Pizza Sauce

4 Oz. Goat Cheese (I used some soft goat cheese and some sliced goat cheese)

Vegetable Topping of Choice, Prepared (I sautéed white and baby bella mushrooms in a little coconut oil)

 

Directions

1. Whisk eggs and coconut milk. You can use 5 whole eggs, but your pizza “crust” will be more yellow.

2. Melt coconut oil in a medium oven-safe nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add eggs and cook until fully cooked. Flip the egg “crust” if you can, and like to show off (I can!). Turn off heat.

3. Spread pizza sauce over eggs, then vegetables toppings and cheese. You don’t have to use goat cheese if you’re not sensitive to cow dairy.

4. Place pizza under broiler until cheese starts to brown, about 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Cut into 4 slices and serve.

Stir Fry

 

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken Breast or Tenders, cut into small pieces

Variety of Vegetables, cut into bite-size pieces (broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, snow peas, asparagus, etc.)

1 Onion, Diced

4 Tbsp Coconut Oil

1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Cornstarch or Arrowroot Starch

½ Cup Chicken broth

2-4 Tbsp Tamari (organic and low-sodium preferred)

Optional: sesame seeds or sliced green onions (garnish)

 

Directions

1. Mix 1 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot with chicken broth, set aside.

2. Combine 1 Tbsp cornstarch/arrowroot with tamari and chicken, mix well, and set aside.

3. Preheat wok on high heat. Add 2 Tbsp coconut oil to wok, then add chicken, and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

4. Add remaining oil to wok, add vegetables (in order of decreasing density), and cook until tender-crisp. Add enough tamari to coat.

5. Return chicken and both mixture to pan, stir until liquid boils and thickens, about 1 minute.

Optional: garnish w/sesame seeds or sliced green onions.

 

You can substitute chicken for beef, shrimp, scallops, or whatever you’d like! Serve over steamed broccoli slaw, riced cauliflower, brown rice, or quinoa.
