So I thought what about bread BUT I did not want it to be boring so I thought what about making it a grilled cheese sandwich with pizza ingredients! ) What You Need Slices of Bread — ( I made some for myself using Gluten Free Bread ( worked great) ) Slices of Mozzarella Cheese Pepperoni Fresh Basil- cut very fine Pizza Sauce Butter What To Do Generously butter one side of the slices of bread.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza. This is the best invention ever: Cauliflower Crust Pizza. Yes, you heard that right… pizza crust made out of cauliflower. I saw it on Beth’s blog, and she got the idea from a friend who got the idea from a low-carb bulletin board. It’s apparently been an idea that has been floating around for a while, but I’ve just gotten wind of it and I’m sure glad I did. This stuff is (shockingly) good! I topped mine Hawaiian style. This entire thing is incredibly simple to make! Just use a cheese grater to “grate” your cauliflower into very small pieces. Microwave those cauliflower crumbles for 8 minutes.

Mix 1 1/2 cups of the cauliflower crumbles with egg, cheese and spices. Shape it into a 9 to 12-inch round. I went so simple and just used Classico Tomato- Basil marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Canadian bacon and pineapple (our favorite). All that happens next is just a quick broil in the oven to melt the cheese and heat the toppings. That is all! How do you like to top your pizza? Prep Time: 25 min. Watermelon Lime Sorbet Slices. A sweet and tangy watermelon lime sorbet is a great way to cool off in the summer. As a bonus, this recipe is frozen back in the watermelon rind and cut off into slices. It’s hot. The type of heat where when you step outside the door and your skin is wet before the door swings shut behind you. It’s a hot that hangs in the air, letting you breathe it in, that is cured only by two things: being completely immersed in water or hiding indoors, the air conditioning cranked as far as it will go.I find that the heat makes me very unmotivated to do things like take a walk, water and weed the garden (though I have forced that one on myself) and prepare food and eat it.

However, when the promise of cooking provides ice cold watermelon sorbet, I just may be convinced. I’m fairly certain it didn’t take much convincing to get the kids to come grab a slice or sorbet either.Start by cutting your watermelon as a simple syrup simmers on the stove. This then goes into the freezer. Truly, nothing. BLT Macaroni Salad. Dads like bacon so I thought a bacon, lettuce and tomato summer pasta salad would be a perfect side dish for your Father's Day picnic. The L in this BLT salad should really be an S but I didn't like the sound of a BST. I am really trying to like whole wheat pasta and used it today to give it another chance, but next time I am sticking with what I like for the same amount of points, either Ronzoni Smart Taste or Dreamfields as a lower carb option.

You decide which pasta you prefer, you know your family and what they would eat, the points are the same. If you are on a gluten-free diet, the brown rice pasta is pretty good! As I mentioned on my BLT lettuce wrap recipe , center cut bacon has less fat than regular bacon if you like the taste of real pork bacon, you can use turkey or chicken bacon instead if you don't eat pork. Ingredients: In a large skillet cook bacon on medium-low heat until crispy on both sides. Crispy Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Red Chili Sauce l Once Upon A Chef. I’ve had Coconut Shrimp at many restaurants, but this homemade version beats them all. It’s remarkably easy to make—so easy, in fact, that my kids have made almost the entire thing by themselves (except, of course, for the frying in hot oil part).

You can do all of the preparation in advance so all that’s left to do at dinnertime is quickly fry the shrimp. And the sauce comes straight out of a bottle. If you were eating out, you’d probably share this dish as an appetizer. You could do the same at home — it also makes fabulous finger food for a party — but I usually serve it as a light dinner with an Asian-style slaw. Depending on where you buy your shrimp (I like the brand shown above from Whole Foods), you might be able to find it already peeled and deveined. Next, set up an assembly line. It’s a messy job, so kids love to do it. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. When you’re ready to eat, heat about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet.

Behold my latest creation…THE BAKED POTATO GRILLED CHEESE! After the glory that was the Brocolli & Cheddar Soup Grilled Cheese , I began racking my brain for what other wonderful things I could deconstruct into grilled cheese format.

Soon enough I had envisioned this piece of grilled cheese heaven! I mean how can you go wrong with fried potatoes, bacon, cheese, sour cream and chives all made into a melty grilled cheese? So here is how I went about making it. The Baked Potato Grilled Cheese 2-3 Strips of Bacon 1 Potato 2 tbsp of Sour Cream Cheddar Cheese Green Onions/Chives 2 Slices of Bread Butter Canola Oil Garlic Powder Salt & Pepper To start things off, get a pan on medium heat with enough canola oil to lightly cover the bottom (you could also use olive oil or butter).

While cooking, salt and pepper the potatoes to taste (they don’t have to be too salty as the bacon with help with the saltiness as well) and sprinkle a light pinch of garlic powder.
