Curry tuna cakes

This is new favorite recipe! Made these for dinner the other night and tripled the recipe to have some left over, then put them on top of lettuce, avocado, red bell peppers and some Caesar salad dressing for lunch today and it was GREAT!

Here's the website: http://carrotsncake.com/2012/09/blogs-you-are-lovin-right-now.html 

The blog has some other recipes I am excited to try!

1 can drained tuna

1 egg

1 tsp curry (I doubled mine cuz we like curry)

1/2 table spoon coconut flour (I used almond flour cuz that's what I had on hand)

1tsp minced garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped scallions

(I added some fresh basil) 

Oil to cook in (I used coconut oil)

Mix together everything but the oil and form into two patties, cook in oil over med/high heat until brown on one side then flip and cook the other side... I would say about 2 min each side?

Serve with avocado! Veggies, sweet potato fries, etc. yummy! I will be making these and freezing them for a quick dinner!

Shrimp fried quinoa

2 cups cooked quinoa (I normally use left over, chilled quinoa)

2-3 tablespoons coconut oil (you can sub another just don't do olive oil cuz it leaves a weird taste)

1/2 a red bell pepper chopped into bite size pieces

1/2 a yellow bell pepper chopped

2 eggs

3/4 cup thawed frozen peas (I've used fresh snow peas/sugar snap peas in pods)

1tablespoon+ of brags liquid amino acids (it's a lower sodium soy sauce alternative, can use soy sauce if you want)

2 servings of cooked shrimp shelled and detailed (I use the pre cooked and frozen shrimp thawed, can sub cooked bite sized chicken or steak too!)

In a big frying pan melt oil on medium high heat, add quinoa, and coat in the oil, cook a few minutes, add shrimp and amino acids. Move around the pan to get a coat of oil, then add bell peppers and peas and let cooked a few minutes to tenderize a bit. Scramble eggs and add salt and pepper if Ou wish. In the pan push quinoa mixture to one side of the pan to make room to fry up the scrambled eggs, or you can use a separate pan to cook them up then add to the quinoa mixture and stir in. 

Brown sugar bacon wrapped smokies

These a addictive! My friend Sara DeArmon made these for Easter lunch and it was a hit! Made these for a couple of baby showers and this was a favorite with everyone! 

1 package bacon

1 package Lil smokies

1 cup brown sugar

Tooth pics

Cut the strips of bacon into thirds, wrap one third slice around one Lil Smokie and secure with a tooth pick. Do this for all the smokies and bacon. Place in a big baking dish, pour brown sugar evenly over Lil smokies, cook at 350 for 20 min. Then broil for 5-8 min to get the bacon a nice crisp!

Easy peasy! And yummy!
