Egg Roll in a Bowl

If you unwrap an egg roll, you get to enjoy a Chinese meal with out the need for rice. I originally found this recipe at glutenfreemakeover and made a few changes to peak the kiddos interest. They love water chestnuts, so it was a no brainer to add them. Sorry for the lack of picture, just trust me "tis tasty"!

Egg Roll in a Bowl

Ingredients:
1 can of water chestnuts (optional)
1 lb ground pork, hamburger
1 package coleslaw mix
3 ribs of celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
3-4 Tbsp liquid aminos
1-2 tsp rice vinegar

Directions:
Cook the ground pork until done and remove from pan, leaving the drippings.
Add onions, garlic and celery to the pan and saute until nearly cooked through.
Add the coleslaw mix and continue to cook about 15 minutes.
Add the freshly grated ginger, liquid aminos, and rice vinegar.
Allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Make Tasty Fool Ya Kool-aid!

I started reading the healthy lifestyle book, Trim Healthy Mama. Although I am only about 1/3 of the way through the book, I have been trying to implement some of the principles. I decided I would start by getting my Breakfasts on plan and try to cut out sugar. 

Buying Truvia today was my first step in eliminating sugar. I also picked up some Raspberry tea so I could make Cool-Aid from Lexi's Kitchen. I only made a half gallon, so I didn't waste too much if it wasn't good. But I was shocked it was good! I even was able to get Gabby and Mike to try it, and believe it or not they liked it too! I am now curious to try other flavors.

How I made it:

     2 Tea bags

     2 cups boiling water, plus more cold water

     1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar

     2 Truvia packets

Steep tea in boiling water. Pour into 1/2 gallon container, add ACV and Truvia. And fill the rest of the way with cold water.

The original recipe:

Ingredients:

4-6 HERBAL TEA BAGS (pick a robustly flavored fruit variety)
About 4 cups boiling WATER, plus more cold water
2 tablespoons raw APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
LIQUID STEVIA CONCENTRATE  or other sweetener to taste

Directions:

• Add tea bags to tempered one gallon jar.
• Pour boiling water over tea bags and let steep 4-6 minutes
• Fill jar the rest of the way with cold water.
• Mix in vinegar and stevia or sweetener.
• Serve chilled over ice.
