Breakfast... Eggs scrable with mixed veggies

I made this for my hubby for breakfast...  

Egg White and Egg Veggie Scramble 

          \


  • 5 egg Whites 
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 jalapeno..  hubby loves heat :-)
  • 1/2 c. chopped mixed veggies


We had someone give us a jar of maranated veggies.. ( cauliflower, peppers, onions, carrots)
My hubby had put the veggies in the food processor and chopped it all up...  this is what's left.
but I have to add.. this is a great way to add veggies to egg scramble..  YUMMY. 

With eggs.. I wanted a bit more carbs..  so he got a Mango!  OMG   DELISH so tasty and juicy!  Also some almonds for good fats.
This picture looks so good!  I just had to add it :-)

    Tonight's diner......
    Bison meat balls with spinach
    • 2 lb ground bison 
    • 1 brick frozen spinach 
    • garlic 
    • onion flakes or whatever you have 
    • a dash of worcestershire sauce 

    roll into balls and bake in the oven 350 for 25-30 min

    I then added them to a pan on the stove and added a large can of crushed tomatoes
    rosemary, Salt and Pepper and a can of Coconut Milk.   mixed all together.   Voila



    And faux mashed
    (cauliflower mashed)

    Large head of cauliflower cut into med pieces and put in a pot to boil
    once soft drain water and mash away.   You can also toss it in a food processor, that works great too
    I added some butter, garlic and salt and pepper to give it some flavor.

    Been a little MIA

    The family has had a BUG.  and YUCK!!  YUCK !! YUCK!!

    Thankfully almost everyone is on the mend.  With hopes that my daughter will be 100%  ASAP.
    I am looking to get the family on an Elderberry extract.   I am hearing amazing things about this stuff.
    it even is supposed to help heal from viruses.   It is said to boost the immune system.  and help with all sorts of things.   I am hoping that this can also help my children with their asthma.

    It is time to kick it up a notch..   My husband who has been working so many hours is it ridiculous
    was talking about his diet in the morning and at lunch..  and was wanting to make it healthier..  so I am going to cook breakfast for the family every morning, pack him a lunch and a morning snack..
    Diet is so important.   You need to have the right fuel in your body.  to get it done.

    So this morning I made Luke a 4 egg white, 2 egg scramble with peppers, orange and green.
    (it was what I had in the house)












    For a morning snack  I packed him,  2 hard boiled eggs and a Lara Bar.













    For Lunch I made him a Grilled chicken salad.
    8 oz of grilled chicken with tons of mixed leafy greens,
    jicama,  (see picture) ..  peppers, snap peas
    and rice wine vinegar . 





    Oh and I also included some almonds for a healthy fat.

    Diner last night... Steak!

    Yesterday I was looking at some of my favorite Paleo Blogs  and I thought it would be yummy to
    make smothered steak...  and it was DELISH
    • Mushrooms - I used 2 packages we love mushrooms
    • Green Peppers - 2 ..  my family loves these..
    • Onion - 1 red onion 
    • olive oil or butter to saute the veggies in 
    • garlic cuz its yummy and a good immune booster.
    You want to saute the veggies on a med heat for a while.. cooking them slowly with make them soft
    and brown them a bit and that gives them extra yummy flavor.

    Cook you steaks on the stove top..
    add a dash of salt and pepper to each side and I toss on a splash of Worcestershire sauce

    and when done add the veggies to your steak..  and ENJOY!

    Mango Salsa

     

     

    Ingredients

    1-1/2 cups diced mango
    1 cup red onion, diced
    2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
    Ice water
    1 cup diced red bell pepper, roasted and peeled
    2 serrano chilies, stemmed, seeded, diced
    1 - 2 tsp fresh lime juice
    Salt to taste
    1 tbsp fresh cilantro

    Preparation

    Use firm, but ripe mango. Over-ripe fruits are difficult to dice because they turn to mush.

    Put the onion in a shallow dish and cover with vinegar and ice water. Soak for 30 minutes. Strain.

    In a glass bowl, gently combine the mango, onions, peppers, and chilies. Season to taste with lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
