INGREDIENTS:

Makes 9 Cups

500 Grams of Frozen Riced Cauliflower - defrosted
1 Large Egg - whisked
1/2 CUP of Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cup of Parmesan
1 TSP of Salt
1/2 TSP of Garlic Powder
Pepper to Taste
9 Eggs

Additional Toppings - Optional
Chili Pepper Flakes
Green Onion
Chives

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 and butter your muffin tray really well! If you don’t it will be hard to remove the cauliflower cups later.

In a large bowl, microwave your cauliflower for 8 minutes. Remove and let rest of 5 minutes before putting it a cheesecloth or tea towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. There is a lot of excess water in cauliflower so you will need to squeeze it really hard!

Next, in a large bowl, add in your whisked egg, cauliflower, cheddar cheese, parmesan, salt, and garlic powder and mix well using your hands.

Take your cauliflower mixture and press it into your muffin tray to form your ‘cups’.

When ready, place muffin tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 until the cups are golden and edges are brown.

Remove from oven, add in one egg to each cup, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on top before placing back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until whites are set.

When done, remove from oven and allow egg bites to sit for 5 minutes before taking a knife and sliding it around the edge of each muffin mold to help remove the egg bites from the tray.

Add your desired garnishes and serve.

Enjoy!

6 TBSP of Lime Juice
4 TBSP of Honey

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD

If you are trying to sneak more veggies into your diet, I highly recommend giving this zucchini bread a go. If you are looking to be a little healthier feel free to omit the chocolate, it still tastes great without it. Not only is this recipe nutritious but the bread is also so moist but it freezes well. My boyfriend and I love to enjoy a slice with some earl grey tea as the combo is simply divine.

Enjoy!

Unsalted Butter - for greasing the loaf pan
4 OZ Bittersweet Chocolate - Chopped
1 CUP of All-Purpose Flour
1/2 CUP of Whole Wheat Flour
1/3 CUP Instant Oats
1 TSP of Baking Soda
1/2 CUP of Unsalted Butter

1/2 a TSP of Lemon Zest

ELOTE - MEXICAN STREET CORN

Elote or Mexican street corn is one of my favorite appetizers!! Whenever I go out for tacos I always have to order the Mexican street corn otherwise the dining experience isn't complete! The thing you might not realize is that it is so simple to make and you can do it so easily right at home. I made mine on the bbq this past week which I think was even better than boiling it because when you boil it you dilute the sugars in the kernels whereas if you bbq it, they get sealed in and the corn tastes extra sweet! Give it a go, you’ll be surprised just how delicious and easy it is to make.

INGREDIENTS:

Sweet Corn - Two per person is my usual estimate
Butchers Twine
2 TBSP of Vegetable Oil
Cream Fresh
Chipotle Chilli Seasoning Spice
Feta Cheese, Cotija Cheese or Queso Fresco
Lime Wedges - optional

DIRECTIONS:

Peel back the husk of corn and tie back with a piece of butchers twine

Coat corn in a light layer of oil and place on the bbq, turning frequently so that it becomes only slightly charred

When the corn is ready, drizzle with creme fresh, sprinkle with chipotle seasoning and garnish with cheese.

Serve warm with a slice of lime.

Enjoy!
