Lunch at AD Thai



Went to lunch at AD Thai in Irvine, CA. I ordered the beef satay. Usually beef satay comes on a stick, right? This dish did not. Also, the meat was very salty and they had poor service. I do not recommend.

Dinner at Tutto Fresco



Dinner at Tutu Fresco. I ordered the Gluten Free Pasta with meat sauce. Yum!

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers w/ Curry Zucchini








First, I add shredded chicken, red onion, buffalo hot sauce and my secret ingredient: organic onion and chive cream cheese



I like orange and yellow bell peppers the best. Green is yuck to me.

I roast them in the oven at 375 F. for about 35-40 minutes.


They come out like this.


For the curry zucchini, I used Mexican squash


Added some coconut cream




Then some yellow curry powder


And tomatoes.


YUM!

They put it in the oven and when was finished cooking, they drizzled balsamic vinegar over it.

Greek Zoodles and Meatballs!


Last night we have guests over for dinner. I decided to make Zoodles and Meatballs...Greek style! First I started off with roasting some grape tomatoes. I tossed them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sea salt and garlic.


For the meatballs I added, beef, egg, almond flour, basil, garlic, sea salt, and garlic powder. I also decided to add some mozzarella cheese because I didn't want the leftovers to go to waste.



Rolled the meat mixture it balls and put them in the oven at 400 F. for 30 mins.



Here's how the tomatoes came out in the oven at 400 F for 45 minutes.



 Of course I used my Spirializer!!! love it!


The meatballs turned out great!!


Top it off with a little feta and ready to serve! I also made a sauce consisting of ghee butter, garlic and lemon juice to pour over the zoodles.
