It's a wrap!

An egg and spinach wrap that is! I just whipped up this delicious and hearty wrap for my quick brunch and I'm feeling more energized than before. I bought these Flat Out wraps recently at Wegmans and I'm hooked. This garden spinach light wrap was so flavorful and a great alternative to big bulky bread, plus one wrap has only 90 Calories and 9 grams of Fiber, Oh yea! I scrambled up four egg whites, including only one yoke, topped it with a mound of fresh spinach and Organic Cheddar cheese and yumo! This was the perfect energy boost to continue my bustling day!

Ingredients 

4 eggs
Mound of fresh spinach
2 slices organic cheddar cheese
1 Flat Out Light Garden Spinach Wrap
Salt, pepper, Ketchup if desired

Creamy Smashed Cauliflower


  With summer right around the corner my boyfriend has been begging me to cut back on carbohydrates. So in an effort to keep us both happy (insert smiley face) I decided to reinvent some of my favorite dishes using other, more healthful, ingredients. I recreated my most delicious garlic mashed potatoes using ever so healthy cauliflower and it was a huge success and plentiful-we had creamy smashed cauliflower all week!

 Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower
2 cups water
4 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup 1% milk
¼ cup chopped scallion
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

 Steam cauliflower stove top until soft. Drain water from the pot and slightly smash cauliflower, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with a fork. Next add milk, cheese and scallions and using an immersion blender fully smash the cauliflower until desired consistency. Garnish with additional shredded cheddar and scallions and serve hot.
