Hey everyone! Today is Snack Snack Time, I gotta be honest I love me some sweets, but when you are trying to take care of your health and what you eat you need to be smart so what I did today was something similar lol, I love chocolate, but I know that can be all sugary so what I do is I buy dark chocolate and mix it with almonds, this is a decadent desert, very delicious and a small piece of this can help you with those sweet cravings. Enjoy!
As you can see in the video this desert is very easy to make and if you have kids they can help too!!
So I’ve been playing around with my kitchen skills (thanks to pinterest), a friend of mine went Paleo and suggested me a couple of yummy recipes that are super super easy and I thought it would be a great idea to share with all of you what I created. I believe these are great as lunch meals or when you feel the need of having a cheat meal without cheating.
The first dish, is my interpretation of pasta with shrimp, who doesn’t love this combination, so what I did was go to my supermarket and bought spaghetti squash, believe me that after I tried this “pasta substitute” I ain’t looking back, it’s super easy to make and it is so versatile you can prepare it with everything, so for this dish I just put in a pan a dash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the shrimp and zucchini, a little bit of kosher salt and pepper, and that was it. I also added half avocado just because I had some left. It was so yummy that I am literally craving it right now.
The second dish is our interpretation of rice with veggies, as we cannot eat rice we used cauliflower, I just put the cauliflower in the blender until it looked like rice (hehe), then in a pan I put a little bit of sausage (no oil this time), then I added mushrooms and red bell peppers, last I added the cauliflower. The flavor of this dish is so delicious that I would eat this every day if I could, I believe you can mix and match maybe you can add more veggies or instead of sausage you can add chicken, but that’s what I had on hand.
I hope you enjoyed I believe these dishes are great! Especially if you are having a busy week.
There is nothing like a free afternoon at home, so if you know me I don’t have much cooking skills and truthfully every time I try to cook a new dish I have a hard time, so no wonder I love my little electric oven.
This was a gift from my mom last Christmas and I don’t know how I could live without this little fella in the past. It cooks all my veggies (leaving them crispy), fish, and chicken plus does it fast without any hassle.
This is what I decided to do:
Fish with Veggies
What an original name (NOT), but hey this is easy peasy, I just placed the fish and asparagus’ in a Pyrex with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Placed it in the oven checking continuously for the fish to get cooked and done. I only prepared a side salad with lemon and some fresh strawberries (because I need my dessert).
