Creamy Chicken & Broccoli w/ Mashed Cauliflower "Potatoes" & Onion Gravy

I used this recipe for the chicken and broccoli but modified it a little (I found i didnt need the milk, i didnt want the rice carbs, and i cooked it in a skillet): http://allrecipes.com/recipe/campbells-baked-chicken-and-broccoli/

-and-

I used this recipe for the cauliflower mashed "potatoes": http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/george-stella/mock-garlic-mashed-potatoes-recipe/index.html .

The gravy is just a basic beef broth gravy with diced onions.

Nom nom nom!

I was so full from this meal i could only finish half my plate. Yay fiber!

Garlic Chicken with Broccoli and Zucchini, over Riced Cauliflower

This is a great dinner dish, even though i had it for breakfast.

Servings:2 large or 4 small
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped garlic
2 chicken breast
Cook this together first, then remove from pan.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 bag frozen broccoli florets
2 medium zucchini sliced
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
Let broccoli cook while you slice the zucchini. Let cook about 5 minutes more (10 altogether or until broccoli reached desired texture.)

Serve over bed of riced or shredded cauliflower.

Salad Time!

Salmon and spring mix with vidalia onion salad dressing

I choose an ever so slightly sweet, tangy dressing for the spring mix salad, and it also served as the main seasoning for the fish. It was the perfect dinner. I was very satisfied.

Rib Eye Steak Recipe

Grass fed rib eye steak was my substitute for beans, with my eggs, spinach and salsa this morning. I feel it was a great decision. I cooked the steaks in my oven and it turned out amazing! Heres how I did it: I sprayed a glass baking pan with olive oil then added my steaks. I salted them with McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning, and added a drizzle of olive oil and a generous sprinkling of garlic powder and dill (I like it garlic and dill a lot). I placed them on the middle rack of my oven, pre-heated to 500 degrees F, for 10 minutes, flipped them and cooked for 10 more minutes. The steaks were perfectly medium/medium well, and not dry at all. I highly recommend this entrée for any meal.

Post Workout Fish!

It's no secret to most of my readers that i LOVE fish. Its one of my favorite proteins. I made these post workout wraps one evening and they were divine. I baked tilapia with some mojo spices, then added spinach, black beans, and chilpotle sauce to the wrap. Yum! Im getting hungry for them just blogging about it.

Breakfast

In all honesty, i could eat this for every meal. I restrain myself, but i love this breakfast. If i have time, i make it EVERY DAY. If i dont have time i make a shake. I posted a photo of my DIY Shake Shaker (http://slowcarbfast.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-dinner.html) containing a chocolate whey protein shake but i plan to post about my Super Duper Workout Recovery Shake in an upcoming post.

I normally just use canned beans, but sometimes i have the forethought to soak and cook beans the day before. I chop and saute some garlic, then ad on top my eggs, beans, garlic powder, chili powder and spinach in layers in that order. I cook slowly on a medium low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes. The spinach just gets barely wilted and it holds the heat on the lower layers so they cook through. I serve it with salsa. Nom nom nom!
