Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein RECIPE FOR TODAY

Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein

Ingredients
1 large spaghetti squash
1/4 cup COCONUT AMINOS (or tamari if not paleo or just use SOY SAUCE) 
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon COCONUT SUGAR or use light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper!)
2 tablespoons OLIVE OIL
1 onion, diced
3 stalks celery, sliced diagonally
2 cups cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

Instructions
Cut a spaghetti squash in half length wise and scoop out seeds. Lay skin side up in a 13 x 9 pyrex and pour 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until flesh is very tender. Once done, scoop out flesh with a fork so it breaks apart into strings, set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, garlic, coconut sugar, ginger and white pepper; set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and celery, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cabbage until heated through, about 1 minute.
Stir in spaghetti squash and sauce mixture until well combined, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.

Note: here is the substitute for Coconut Sugar. You can substitute equal amounts of light or dark brown sugar (measured unpacked) for a similar flavor but it does not have the same low-glycemic properties.

Here is the substitute for Coconut Aminos: soy sauce

Flatbread Pizza RECIPE FOR TODAY

Flatbread Pizza

Ingredients

1. 1 Joseph's Reduced Carb Lavash Bread or flatbread
2. 2 large tablespoons Cucina Toscana Artichoke Bruschetta Spread - you can substitute with a sugar-free pizza sauce
3. 1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
4. 8-10 slices turkey pepperoni
5. additional veggie toppings can include: onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, ect.
6. coconut or other non trans fat cooking spray
7. 
   

Instructions

1. THM flatbread pizza
2. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
3. If you're including additional veggies like bell peppers and mushrooms it's a good idea to cook them before adding to your pizza. These vegetables have a lot of water and it's best to cook it out beforehand to avoid a watery, soggy pizza. Simply cook diced peppers and mushrooms with a spritz of oil for a minute or two over high heat to reduce the water content.
4. While the veggies are cooking, lightly spray a baking sheet with coconut oil or other non trans fat spray. Place flatbread onto baking sheet.
5. Spread sauce onto flatbread.
6. Add shredded mozzarella cheese.
7. And top with turkey pepperoni and any other vegetable toppings you'd like.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt.
9. Next, crank your oven up to broil and keep a close eye on your pizza while the top browns - it only takes a minute or two. Don't walk away! It can burn in just a few seconds.
