mocking

Yesterday after church, Zach and I went to K-Roger to pick up a few item to grill. We
got steaks, pineapple, and butternut squash. We had everything else we needed for our meals.

We threw the steaks, mushrooms and pineapple on the grill. While that was on the grill I was inside smashing the butternut squash. We smash it and make it taste just like smashed sweet potatoes.

Who knew that you could enjoy some some "mock smashed sweet potatoes" without all the carbs???

Here is a pick of my food from yesterday!

That is 4 oz of flat iron steak, 1 cup of smashed butternut squash, handful of organic spring mix, mushrooms, and 1 tablespoon of Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing! Pretty delicious!

There are so many more veggies that are good mockers!

Rutabaga for example... yummy fries! Just peel it, cut it into fries, throw in the oven with whatever seasoning you like and BAM... You've got fries!!

Cauliflower- this makes the best smashed potatoes. We throw ours in the microwave and let it steam until soft. Put it into a food processor and season anyway and you end up with very delicious "cauliflower potatoes"! We have also made a low carb pizza using cauliflower as the crust. Believe it our not but it was one of the best pizzas I have had in a very long time!

Spaghetti Squash- cut in half and put into the microwave (or oven) and cook until tender. Scrap all the center out. You should get little noodles. Put on a plate with lean ground beef, low fat/carb spaghetti salsa and you have got some very LOW CARB spaghetti!

Kale- this is great for making chips! Cut of stems and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Put into a 350 degree oven for about 20 mins or until crispy.

So, so, so many options!
