Chicken Fried ‘Rice’

I made this the other day – it was super tasty.
Take small head of cauliflower – chop it up and add it to a food processor using the ‘grate’ feature. I could not believe how fast that was.
Set it to the side
Next – in a Stir Fry pan, cook a chopped up onion in about 1 tbs coconut oil until transparent
Add a chopped up clove of garlic
Add raw or cooked chicken… continue cooking until meat is done. (you can use any meat… shrimp would be awesome.
Add about 1 tbs of Gluten Free Soy Sauce OR better yet, coconut aminos (yum!)
Add cauliflower – another 1 tbs of coconut oil, and 2 more tbs of aminos (or gluten free soy sauce)
Add 2 beaten eggs and mix well.
Continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and eggs are cooked.

Add some green onions, peas, etc… dress it up with color. I used red/orange/yellow peppers to add a little color.
I also pan seared some Brussels Sprouts in coconut oil and added it to the final dish.

Season with Salt and Pepper – enjoy.

I never knew….

When I was a little kid, something turned me off of Brussels Sprouts. I have no idea what it was – I honestly couldn’t tell you what they tasted like. I just knew I did not like them, so I never ate them.
A few weeks ago, Deb and I were talking and she was RAVING about a brussels sprout recipe. I couldn’t knock it, I had never tried it. I figured, if she loved it so much, I should give it a shot.

Well – I have burned through about 15 bags of Trader Joe’s Brussels Sprouts since that time. I can easily eat an entire bag in one sitting. No joke.
The secret is in how you make it – because steamed brussels sprouts are not fun… but pan seared or baked is a whole different story – and add some bacon…. oh my.

Here is Deb’s favorite recipe. If you get the chance this week – check it out… don’t get mad at me if you get hooked – I never knew I loved brussels so much!
