Yummy Healthy Overnight Oats

Yummy Healthy Overnight Oats

Ingredients for a single serving

1/2 cup oatmeal - I use Trader Joe's old fashioned oats
slightly less than 1/2 cup coconut water - I use Zico, no sugar added
splash of Coffee Mate all natural cinnamon coffee creamer
splash of maple syrup - I use Kirkland Organic 100% grade A amber
several dashes of cinnamon

Instructions

Add the oatmeal to a small glass bowl.
Using 1/2 cup measuring cup, pour in slightly less than 1/2 cup coconut water, and fill the rest with the creamer. add to the oatmeal. Add a splash of maple syrup - the amount depends on how sweet you like it, but keep in mind that it will be sitting over night and absorbing all the sweetness. Add several dashes of cinnamon, depending on how much you want. Mix well! cover and refrigerate overnight. You can eat cold. I chose to microwave for 30 - 35 seconds and eat warm. That's why I kept it in a glass bowl. If you plan on eating it cold, you can obviously store it in a plastic container. You can add any fruit of your choosing. I would recommend blueberries. You can also add unsweetened shredded coconut if you like. The options are endless! Most importantly, enjoy! :)







It's the "nom dot com" :-P ;-)

Healthy Crustless Cauliflower Quiche

Healthy Crustless Cauliflower Quiche

Ingredients

16 oz riced cauliflower
4 eggs
about 1/8 cup skim plus milk
grated Locatelli cheese - about 1/3 cup
1/8 cup white whole wheat flour
3/4 small sweet vidalia onion
1 small red pepper
olive oil
cooking spray canola oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder
parsley
part skim grated mozzarella
whole wheat unseasoned panko bread crumbs

Directions
preheat oven to 350 degrees F
in large sautee pan, sautee onion and pepper in olive oil until onion is clear and lightly browned.

in large mixing bowl, mix together eggs, milk, locatelli cheese, cauliflower, and flour. mix well. let the onion mixture cool slightly before mixing it with the raw egg mixture, and then add it to the bowl. mix well. season with salt, pepper, garlic power, and parsley - be careful with the salt, you can always add, but you can't take away. keep in mind, we will be adding salt to the bread crumbs on top.

use cooking spray to grease large rectangular glass baking pan/ casserole dish. pour mixture from bowl into dish.sprinkle the top with the mozzarella. then sprinkle the bread crumbs on top. next, on top of the bread crumbs LIGHTLY sprinkle a little salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic powder. So that the breadcrumbs don't burn and get crispy, spray the top lightly with the canola oil cooking spray.

bake in the oven until all of the liquid is absorbed and the top is golden brown. check after 20 minutes  - depending on your oven, you might have to rotate the dish - but it should take about 30 - 40 minutes.

let sit outside the oven for 5 minutes before cutting. enjoy! :)
