Spam & Veggie Stir Fry

 

I gathered an assortment of ingredients in my kitchen and made this dish happen.  I had a bit of baby bell peppers left over from another recipe, cauliflower in the freezer, spam and rice from the cabinet as well as seasonings, and I always have onions and garlic on hand. This would work with any combination of veggies you have.

Ingredients:

• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cups baby bell peppers, chopped into bite-size pieces
  
• 3 ounces spam, cut into cubes
• 1 bag frozen cauliflower
  
• 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Scrunch of pepper
• 2 Tablespoons chopped green onion
  
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare ingredients as indicated above (chop, slice, etc.)
2. Add spam to heated skillet. Stir fry.
   
3. Add remaining ingredients (except sesame seeds) and stir fry until cauliflower defrosted and warmed through and onions and bell peppers slightly softened.
4. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with rice.
5. Enjoy

Paleo Stuffed Bell Peppers

 

I've been actively trying to live a low-carb life and found a recipe for this online.  Here's the direct link to the original recipe: https://www.ourpaleolife.com/paleo-stuffed-peppers/

This turned out so yummy. I highly recommend. I had to eat it cold one day because I didn't have a microwave. That wasn't the greatest experience, but oh well.  Lol!

Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus

 

My dad harvested some red bell peppers from his home garden for me.  I got a lot of goodies from his garden so couldn't eat them all in time.  I cleaned, prepped and freezed them for later use. I cut them in two different styles with the intention of adding them to chili and a stir fry.  However, I ended up using them to make roasted red bell pepper hummus.

Here's the link to the original recipe I followed: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/22016/roasted-red-pepper-hummus-recipe/

I used lime instead of lemon because that's what I had on hand and added a bit more olive oil because I wanted the texture smoother. I also air fried my bell pepper and didn't peel off the skin.
