Quick & Easy Meal Ideas

Aug 18

We are back with some more of my favorite quick and easy meal ideas. This has been a hotly requested topic, so I hope you enjoy the healthy meal ideas below and they become your favorites as well.

Remember that I do not use precise measurements, so most things are approximate. And feel free to make any changes you want. I would love to hear how you make them your own!

With all ingredients, try to get the highest quality you can find and afford.

Cauliflower Rice

This recipe is very easy to multiply and make for a larger group. You can also find most of these vegetables in the frozen food aisle, which will cut down on prep time. Save yourself the hassle (and the smell) and buy pre-riced cauliflower – worth every penny.

Ingredients –

Riced cauliflower
Chopped garlic
Carrots
Yellow onion
Peas
Scallion
Two eggs
Tamari (gluten free soy sauce) or regular soy sauce or coconut aminos
Coconut Oil
Ground ginger, salt, pepper
Optional: additional protein – I like to add frozen shrimp

Directions –

Chop onion and carrots
Heat up coconut oil and garlic
Add onion and carrots and cook until tender
Add peas and cauliflower
Create a hole in the middle of the rice, add eggs, and cook until done
Add tamari, ginger, salt, and pepper and mix well
Serve with chopped scallions on top
Note: do not cook cauliflower too long, can get mushy

Taco Bowl

One of my favorite meals when I am in a hurry. As much as I love a good Chipotle bowl, I am confident that mine is better (and healthier!). You can add quinoa if you would like some additional carbohydrates or crumble some tortilla chips on top for added crunch.
