Chicken Stirfry and Cauliflower Fried "Rice"

Serves 1

Cauliflower Fried Rice

1c cauliflower rice (blended cauliflower)
1/2 diced onion
1/4c diced capsicum
1 egg white
2 tsp coconut oil

Fry onion and capsicum until brown. Add cauliflower and coconut oil and combine. Add the egg white and stir quickly so egg mixes through the rice.

Chicken Stirfry
1c mixed stirfry vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, beans, mushrooms etc)
100g chicken diced
1tb chilli paste
1tb dried chives
1tsp coconut oil
1 tsp honey
1tb coconut aminos (tastes like soy sauce)

Quickly brown chicken in a hot pan with coconut oil and remove before cooked through. Add to a baking tray and put in an oven on low (120-150 degrees) for 5 minutes. Steam the vegetables in the pan until soft. Take the chicken out and add to the vegetables. The chicken should have leaked all its juices so this will help make the sauce so add all of it into the pan. Add the final ingredients and combine.

Paleo "Apple Pie" Snack

I was craving something sweet so I made up this very random but very yummy dish.

1/2 c apple diced
Cinnamon
3 egg whites
1 tsp stevia
1 Tb unsweetened almond milk
Chopped almonds (I used 5 but as many as you like)

Place the apple in a microwave safe container with about 2 tb water and a good sprinkle of cinnamon and cook for 5 minutes. Combine stevia, eggs and almond milk and microwave for 30 seconds at a time until cooked. Combine the two together and top with almonds.

Meatballs and Vege Slice

Vegetable Slice

2 large zucchinis grated and juices squeezed out 

3 small carrots grated      
1 capsicum diced      
2 small onions diced      
1 c sliced mushrooms       
4 eggs       
8 egg whites 

Combine all the ingredients and cooke slowly (about 150 degrees Celsius) for 1 hour and 30 mins. I divided it up into 6 slices and put into containers for quick and easy meals. I worked it out to be 1 cup of veges and 1 serve of protein per slice. 

Meatballs 

500g of ground lean beef

1 small onion, grated or very finely chopped

2 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 egg 

Combine all ingredients and portion into 50g balls. Brown side in a non-stick pan and then place on a baking tray. Put in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through. 

PALEO Cauliflower Pizza

I do have the recipe for this on here but this is just the no cheese PALEO version!

Base

1 cup cauliflower rice (cauliflower in a blender until it makes rice consistency)
1 whole egg
1tsp garlic
Italian herbs
pepper

Sauce
1/2 avocado
1 Tb chilli paste
lemon
pepper

Toppings
Anything you like! I prefer chicken, spinach, mushrooms and onion

In my food prep this week I blended a whole head of cauliflower and put it in an air thigh container in the fridge. This meant the cauliflower was dry and went really crispy. You can also just wrap it in a tea towel and squeeze the juices out.

In a bowl, combine all the base ingredients well. Pour onto a non stick pan (very important it will stick!)  and flatten out to about 1/2 cm if you like crunchy pizza. Bake in an oven until the top is golden brown.

For the sauce simply combine all ingredients and mix until smooth.

Take the pizza out and flip it over so the crispy side is on the bottom. Add the sauce and toppings and return to the oven for about 10 minutes.

PALEO!

Hi everyone! I have gone paleo for a while and I am on a challenge! So I will be posting a lot of my PALEO recipes for my fellow challengers and any instagram followers who ask for the recipes!

Hope everyone enjoys these as much as I do!

Savoury Pumpkin Loaf

This delicious recipe was adapted from one I found in a Woolworths catalogue. I simply substituted the white flour for oat flour and didn't add some of the unnecessary ingredients to make it more calorie friendly. 

Ingredients

650g diced pumpkin

1 onion

250g sliced mushrooms

¼ c cashews

3 eggs

½ c oat flour

½ cheese

1c spinach

Method

Roast pumpkin until softened. Fry onion and mushrooms. Toast cashews and chop finely. Combine pumpkin, onion, mushrooms, and cashews with the oat flour, eggs, cheese and spinach. Spoon into loaf pan and sprinkle with extra cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

265 CALORIES PER SLICE – MAKES 6

Chocolate Protein Brownies

I love the fact I can eat brownies without feeling guilty! These had me really suspicious. The batter was ok, when they came out of the oven they were alright but the next day, they were delicious! I made 12 brownies and worked it out to be approximately 67 calories per slice.

Chocolate Protein Brownies

1 large overripe mashed banana
1/2 cup of oats blended into flour
3 tb cocoa
2 tb stevia
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
1 whole egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla no fat yogurt (makes everything I bake so moist!)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Blend oats, cocoa, stevia and protein powder together and then add to a mixing bowl. Blend banana, eggs, almond milk and yogurt until smooth and add to the dry mixture. Stir until combined and pour into a baking tray. Bake for approximately 20 minutes but keep checking it as I think there would be a fine line between nice and rock hard. It will be cooked when you can skewer it and it comes out clean.

The next night I hadn't eaten very much so had lots of calories to make up and really felt like something sweet so I combined half a banana with half a scoop of protein powder and 2 tb almond milk and whipped it up until it was mousse consistency. I popped that in the freezer for about an hour, broke up one of the protein brownies and drizzled PB2 on top. Best. Dessert. Ever. Made me feel like I was eating healthy Cold Rock!
