Quick, Colorful Breakfast / Potato Cakes with Bell Pepper Eggs




     A quick breakfast this morning. We go through eggs often but this time we wanted to make it a bit different and colorful to brighten the day. We had left over mashed potatoes from the other night so we turned those into potato cakes and added a little bit of mozzarella cheese and a few snips of green onions. 

     On the left we have two fried (well) eggs. To add some color and taste Jordan threw some some diced green, yellow and red bell peppers. I was a bit apprehensive about eating bell peppers on my eggs but in the end I gobbled it right up. 

     Overall, it was a quick meal and simple, we just wanted something different than just eggs and say... toast.

Dynamite Shrimp



Based on the dish from Applebee's.

Fried popcorn shrimp
A bed of coleslaw mix (no dressing)
A sweet/spicy sauce made from honey mustard,
mayonnaise and cayenne pepper

Mini-Pavlovas



Made by my mom on Christmas Eve. These are now a tradition at our house. Made with Ina's recipe and raspberry sauce.

NOT low carb. ;)

Low-carb Oopsie Burger



Also low carb. The "oopsies" (the bun halves) are made from whipped egg whites and cream cheese, and have about 1 carb each. This whole burger has less than 4 carbs total.
And it's delicious.

BLT on Flaxseed Bread



Low-carb. As I recall, each piece of "bread" has about 2 carbs.

Homemade Italian Nachos


Inspired by Johnny Carino's.

Baked wonton wrappers
Italian sausage
Black olives
Chopped tomatoes
Mozzarella cheese
Alfredo sauce
