kelly's kickin' kobb with garlic balsamic dressing

Chop all veggies for salad:

Handful of baby spinach
2 hardboiled eggs
1 vine tomato
1/2 large avocado
1/4 jalepeno seeded and deviened
1 green onion
3 green olives
2 Tbsp cilantro
1/2 Tbsp bleu cheese
1/8 cup shredded cheddar
1 tsp sunflower seeds
1 tsp bacon bits
1 Tbsp dried cranberries

For Garlic Balsamic Dressing:

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 Tbsp olive oil
(This made enough for 2 salads, so I reserved the rest for a later meal)

I love spicy and the green olives added another depth of flavor that you wouldn't expect. Give it a try! It's about 500 calories, but low carb. A great lunch!

10 cremini mushrooms
1 head broccoli chopped
1 C bean sprouts
1/8 cup sliced red onion
1/8 cup cilantro
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
pinch of minced garlic
squeeze of Sirracha (optional)
shake of lemon pepper

In large skillet heat olive oil and minced garlic, add chopped chicken breast. Sautee 2 minutes then add broccoli and red onion. Sautee another 5 minutes then add mushrooms and sprinkle lemon pepper over top. Add bean sprouts and teriyaki sauce and simmer 5-10 minutes adding cilantro to lightly blanch it, remove from heat. Serve it up, I like to add lots of Sirracha but that's your call. Only 450 cal for the whole thing and it almost feels like too much food.

Fajita Steak

You know me, the more simple the better.
1 New York steak
10 cremini mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped pico de gallo
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
juice of 1/2 lime
1 oz shredded cheddar cheese
creole seasoning
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil

Heat bbq to medium heat and season steak with creole seasoning. Grill on one side for 10 min, then the other for 5 (Medium well). Meanwhile heat olive oil and garlic in saucepan and add mushrooms. Lightly brown and add pico de gallo, sautee well. Pull steak off the grill and layer cheese, mushrooms and pico, cilantro, then squeeze lime over the top. Who needs carbs?
You can also garnish with a little sour cream, yum!
