For years at lunch time I would make Ken and I a sandwich. That was our go to lunch for years. A couple of years ago I found out I was Diabetic and the doc wanted me to stay away from bread, cereal, pasta, sugar...or to at least cut some carbs and sugar where I can. So I gave up eating cold cereal every morning and I've been trying other things for lunch which has been interesting. Ken still eats the sandwiches for the most part, I can't seem to bring him over to the dark side with me. Bwahahaha! *Evil cackle*
So I was looking up lunch recipes and came across a sauteed Brussels sprouts and fried eggs that I will be trying but I didn't have Brussels sprouts so I chose cauliflower and mushrooms which worked just fine in my opinion.
What you'll need:
4-5 Cauliflower Florets
2 Mushrooms
2 eggs
1TBSP Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
Add the olive oil to a pan, turn to med heat. Cut the Cauliflower florets in half and add to pan. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Slice the mushrooms and add them to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook until the cauliflower florets are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from pan and fry eggs in the same pan. I use a non stick pan so I didn't need to add more oil or butter to the pan.
I really liked it and I'll be trying it with other vegetables, especially the brussels sprouts.
What's your favorite lunch?
Yeah I know about those pesky carbs, I miss white bread during this pregnancy
ReplyDeleteBread was one of the hardest things to give up.
DeleteIt looks good, it's nice to change things too
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to change things up.
DeleteI've been trying to cut back on carbs, too, I usually eat Greek yogurt and berries for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI've tried a couple of greek yogurts and didn't care for them at all.
DeleteMushrooms I eat at least, there is one! lol
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms.
DeletePut fried eggs on a plate and I’m one happy girl. Add caramelized cauliflower and mushrooms and I’m jumping for joy. I’m not a big sandwich person, I don’t know why but I just don’t like sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good and I was surprised I liked the combo.
DeleteMmmm I love some cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteI do too.
DeleteLooks good to me, and I love brussel sprouts too Mary!!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great recipes for brussel sprouts that I plan on trying.
DeleteHey, this is a good one. I'll have to try it. I usually stick to a salad for lunch, but its good to have options.
ReplyDeleteI've tried a few different salads as well. It's nice to try new things though.
DeleteWhat a great recipe idea.
ReplyDeleteWe love cauliflower in our house!
All the best Jan
I do too. I've been trying all sorts of great recipes.
DeleteCauliflower is fun. Veggies on the whole though, are fun for me. But I'm not a low-carber.
ReplyDeleteI love trying new recipes with vegies.
DeleteI never thought to prepare cauliflower that way, it looks really good! And indeed you can try this with different veggies as well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt was quite good.
