Nicely Dun Cooking

Here we are in the deep heat of Summer 🌕🌞,  and you know what is awesome this time of year Sweet Watermelon 🍉.    Not only is this a Low carb salad its also satisfying and  pairs well with grilled shrimp or fish.  Try my twisted version .   This recipe serves 2 Ingredients  1 cup of cubed watermelon  1 radish sliced thin 1 shallot diced or 1/4 of red onion diced 4 mint leafs 🍃  sliced thin 1/2 avocado diced 2 handfuls of arugula or spinach Shredded cheese for topping I used shaved Asiago, parmesan and Romano Dressing: Juice from half a lime A splash of Rice Vinegar or my favorite Champagne Vinegar  (you can purchase at Kroger) 2 tablespoons Olive oil  Salt and pepper to taste. Toss watermelon, radish and onion in a mixing bowl with the dressing.   Add arugula and avocado mix well. 

  This recipe is one of my new favorites...I love Tuscan chicken,  so I thought about changing it up a bit with Shrimp.  I did not serve with pasta but feel free,  zoodles make a nice low carb option. Ingredients: 16 large shrimp peeled and deveined  🦐🦐 2 tablespoons butter 🧈  2 tablespoons chopped basil  2 cloves of garlic roughly chopped Small package of spinach stems removed and chopped🥬 1/2 pint of grape tomatoes 🍅  Olive oil 1/4 cup of heavy cream 😋  1/2 of shredded parmesan cheese 🧀    Place fry pan on stove on high heat add about tablespoon of olive oil and butter.   Add shrimp sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown on each side. Remove shrimp set aside and keep warm. Add garlic and  chopped basil stir and cook for a minute or two. Almost done.   Toss in tomatoes, spinach, cream, cheese and shrimp. Stir and cover pan turn off heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy!!!

 So I decided to cut back on carbs and really wanted a pizza.  I've made the chicken crust before but just wanted something different.   So here it is my version of a Mestza Pizza.  My friend Debbie called it a smashed hamburger haha with toppings.  I call it a fantastic low carb bit of yummyness. Ingredients: 1 pound of lean burger  1 egg 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese  1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese  Fresh herbs 🌿   basil, oregano and parsley  finely chopped about a tablespoons of each give or take.  😁 Pinch of garlic powder and pepper. Toppings:  whatever your wanting.  Note:  for the sauce I used Rao's (no sugers) Pre heat oven to 325.  Mix all ingredients kinda like making Meatloaf.   Once everything is mixed well divided into 2 sections.  On baking sheet covered with parchment paper flatten the burger to a quarter inch pizza shaped like crust.  Repeat with 2nd half....
