Stuffed Mushrooms- THM S Meal

These are so good that the family fights over them.  One day, I was craving something a little special, and so started mixing some things together and these are the product.  The only tweak that I have made to the first time I made them is a sprinkle of smoked paprika on the top.

 

1 package of large stuffing mushrooms, washed

5 Tablespoons of finely chopped ham

2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil Mayo (it is best to make your own, but I do use store bought in a pinch)

Smoked paprika

3 Tablespoons butter

 

 

 

Rinse off your mushrooms and pull stem out of cap.  Chop the stems and add to a bowl with cheese, ham, and mayo.  Mix well and divide the stuffing into the caps.  Place in a small frying pan and add the butter (can still be solid) to the pan.  Sprinkle the tops of the mushrooms with smoked paprika.

 

 Cover the frying pan with lid, and set on medium low. I usually cook them for about 20 minutes.  This is enough time for me to get things on and off the grill, and get the table set- and we like to eat the mushrooms hot and the butter at the bottom spooned over the top of each one.  I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Morning Coffee THM style (S or FP)

My morning coffee- something that you don't feel complete until you have a cup or two!! 

 

16 oz of any kind of coffee (flavored or not)

1/4-1/2 cup almond milk (I use Silk unsweetened vanilla flavor)

sweetener of choice (I use a liquid stevia from Swanson's that was only $5 a bottle)

1/2 scoop Swanson's Ultra Whey Protein powder any flavor

1 teaspoon coconut oil (S)

 

 

Brew your coffee any flavor as you normally would.  I use different flavors at different times- right now I am using hazelnut, but I enjoy the chocolate mint, English toffee, and even plain.  I pour my coffee in my ninja cup and then add my almond milk first (so that it doesn't over cook the protein powder), sweetener- I use 8 drops of stevia liquid, and 1/2 scoop of protein powder (on days I know I can't grab anything else to eat I will use a whole scoop).  I use chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry protein powder according to my tastes that morning.  Sometimes I add some raspberry flavor or butterscotch- it is all up to what you want to try.  Add some coconut oil for extra fat burning- but be aware that this makes this an S, so pair it with an S breakfast.  Pulse in the blender- and you are done.  Whipped cream is super yummy on this also!

Egg Roll in a Bowl- My Take (S meal for THM)

Egg Roll in a Bowl- something I crave; sweet, sour, tangy- who wouldn't love it?  I know that several people have different takes on this wonderful dish.  Here is our family's.  We love the taste of the orange oil, apple cider vinegar, and the sweetness to make it seem like sweet and sour sauce.

3-5 links of sweet Italian sausage

package of coleslaw mix(without dressing)

1 1/2 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

1 packet of truvia, or sweetener of your choice

1/2 teaspoon ground or minced ginger

1/2 teaspoon garlic

3-4 drops of orange oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon turmeric

We have tried different sausages, and varying amounts..  I like to use a sweet Italian raw sausage link (brat size).  My husband likes less sausage (3 links) and I like more (5 links).  I take the scissors and cut the casing off of them.  Of course you can use sausage that are not in links also- we just like a certain brand :)  Put the meat into a skillet that is on medium and just make sure that the meat is broken up into smaller pieces and then add a package of coleslaw mix.  Stir together while adding rest of ingredients. Continue to stir and cook until meat is cooked through.  Enjoy!  This feeds 2 adults and 2 children in our home.
