Easy Cheesy Veggie Eggs

I typically find that some of the yummiest foods are the easiest and most simple to make.  This is my go-to weekend breakfast (and sometimes week day) that never fails to please me and the hubs.  It is also low-calorie, low-carb and high protein - LOVE!

Cheesy Cauliflower Cakes

I will start by saying no matter what you think or how you think this will taste, trust me when I say this dish is delicious.  It's a great way to get those veggies on your plate, especially if you aren't a fan of veggies.  Kids would love these as well - anything that has 'cheesy' and 'cake' in the title would please any palate!

The next thing I will say is, I have to make these again, not just because they are yummy, but because my first attempt to make 'cakes' turned into making mashed cheesy cauliflower stuff.  Still absolutely delicious, but not the prettiest thing I've ever made.

Snacking rules

No really - everyone loves a good snack.  I used to think a good snack was a candy bar or handful of m&m's - I always had that crazy sweet tooth that never seemed to go away, but amazingly after eating this high protein low carb stuff, I haven't had much of a craving at all for sweets (until I scour pinterest's food section and see all the sweets on there, then I'm done...) so this is a super easy, convenient and yummy snack that is good on the go or at home.




Italian Sausage & Zucchini Non-Lasagna

It's my first food post!  To start, I'm sticking with the things that are fairly easy and definitely tasty.  This brings me to this recipe, Italian Sausage & Zucchini Non-Lasagna.  I call it a non-lasagna because it's got most of the same ingredients that I'd use for lasagna (since I have recently been subbing zucchini strips for the pasta), only MUCH quicker and not layered.  This is not only easy, but quick and easy to make your own with adding other veggies or more meat, etc.  The nutrition information is at the bottom of the post.

Welcome to LLER!

Living light and eating right hasn't always been my life's mantra.  It's been more like living however and eating whatever, which hasn't been one of the best choices I've made.  I am on a journey to lose weight, get fit and stay healthy - in mind, body and soul.  My journey has, so far, included a lot of ups and downs, emotionally and according to the scale.  That roller coaster ride is no longer my forte.  I'm ready to take it off, keep it off, and hopefully in the process, help others on their own journeys.  Join my on my journey - it's sure to be fun...most of the time!
