Spanish "Rice"

0 PTS

3 Cups Cauliflower - Riced - I use my cheese grater to rice the cauliflower
1 Cups Chicken Stock
1 Cup Water
1/2 Can Stewed Tomatoes with Mexican Seasoning (I used tomatoes with mild chili)
1/2 Cup Onion - Diced
2 Tbs. Garlic - Minced
2 Tbs. Cumin
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Salt

I cooked this in my non-stick wok but a large saute pan will work just fine. Heat your pan over medium-high heat, spray pan add onion, and minced garlic. Saute for 5 minutes. Add riced cauliflower, cumin, chili powder and garlic salt - Let cook 5-8 minutes - Stir every minute or so. Add chicken stock and tomatoes. Use a rubber spatula to break up the tomatoes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer 30-40 minutes or until all the liquid has reduced.

Portabella Mushroom Cap Egg Breakfast


3 Plus Points

1 medium size Portabella Mushroom Cap
1 egg
1/3 c egg beaters
3-4 thin slices of bell pepper (any color you have)
3-4 think slices of onion
Hatch Chili Pepper Sauce (optional)



Roast the mushroom, bell pepper, and onion in the oven at 350 until tender. You will probably need to take out the bell pepper and onion before the mushroom.

In a small bowl add the egg and the egg beaters. (DO NOT MIX TOGETHER) This will give you the runny yolk. If you don't want a runny yolk, just use egg beaters. (It will make the recipe 2 pts less) Carefully pour egg into pan, as the egg cooks gently push the egg towards the center (make the egg about as big as your mushroom cap) cook you egg and flip over.

Top mushroom cap with egg, onion and bell pepper. Pour chili pepper sauce on top if desired. Eat immediately
