#lowcarb – Coffee Peace N' Homesteadin

A couple Fridays ago I found myself home alone with a new season of Queer Eye to watch. I was excited for an unexpected girl night and decided a cocktail was in order. This version of a Cosmopolitan is light, refreshing, and has a beautiful blush color. The secret, Pink Cranberry juice. I also used orange extract and fresh lime to keep the sugar low. I shook it up with some vodka, added a lime garnish and began my evening of binge watching. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Recipe:

1 shot vodka

2 oz cranberry juice (I used Ocean Spray Pink Cranberry)

1/4 fresh lime squeezed

1/2 tsp orange extract.

Add to shaker filled with ice, shake and pour into martini glass, garnish with lime.

Todays recipe turned out really good. So , this is one of those I threw a bunch of things in a pan and yum, but I am going to share it anyway. To make it lower carb, you could take out the soychorizo. I use the Trader Joes brand and its only 5 net grams so for the flavor it was worth it. Here we go:

1/2 bag of frozen spinach

1/4 bag frozen cauliflower rice

[defrost both about 3min}

1/2 package Tofu

1/4 package Soyrizo

1 TBS Mexican seasoning [on tofu]

Pico De Gallo

Topping:

Lettuce

Avocado

Pico De Gallo

Directions:

Defrost spinach and cauliflower rice in microwave (3 min) add tofu and Mexican seasoning into non-stick pan. Add soyrizo, cook 2 min. add defrosted veggies and pico de gallo cook 3 min. Remove from heat, top with lettuce, pico and avocado.
