Cauliflower Fried Rice

Love Chinese fried rice, but have to pass on it when you order because you just know it's not good for you. Try this healthy alternative. Looks exactly like it!

Ingredients:

- 3 cups grated cauliflower
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup carrots, peas, green beans (frozen bag will do)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 2 eggs or 4 eggs whites, scrambled
- 3 TBSP soy sauce

What to do:

- dice up onion and sauté til brown
- mince garlic, add to pan with onions 
- add frozen veggies til soft (cook through)

- add eggs and scramble
- add riced cauliflower, then soy sauce
- stir 5-7 minutes 

If you want to get fancy add some shrimp, chicken, etc.

Cucumber and Tomato Salad

I love getting a new Beachbody program, with every challenge pack you receive a nutritional food guide with all different meal recipes to try. When i was looking for new recipes to try I stumbled upon the Ultimate Reset book, and i forgot how many good recipes are in there. This little dish is simple and light.

Ingredients: 
-1 cucumber, half peeled in alternating strips, sliced in thick half-moons

-1/4 small container ripe plum or cherry tomatoes, each cut in half

-1 tbsp chopped red onions

-2 tbsp red wine vinegar 

-1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 

-1 tbsp lemon juice 

-2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

-1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

-1 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves 

-Himalayan salt (to taste)

-Herbal seasoning (to taste)

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and toss well. (serves one)
 

This works perfect as a side dish to a party. If you are making more just double the recipe.

Light and refreshing!!! Enjoy!
