Super Tasty Eggplant Lasagna #healthy #Low-Carb #Cheesy

So looking to cut out a few carbs from your diet? Here is a great recipe for Lasagna that is Pasta Free. Replacing pasta with eggplant is a great way to have you"cake and eat it too". Using a very familiar recipe to a standard lasagna minus Ricotta Cheese I have a great solution that is great for you and tasty.







Ingreidents:
2 full size eggplants (Sliced)
3 lbs Ground beef
2 - 16oz cans of tomato sauce
2oz fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic Minced
4 cups of Mozzarella cheese
2 Roma tomatoes Diced
1 whole onion diced
2 tablespoons minced ginger (Dried Spice)
Salt
Black Pepper



First things first, you need to slice your eggplant the long way as thin as is comfortable with you. Place sliced eggplant in a mixing bowl sprinkling salt on every slice cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This process is called "Purging". Next you need to get your onions, garlic, and ground beef together in a mixing bowl mixing well also with your salt, pepper and Dried ginger. Pre-heat your oven to 325. In a large sauce pan over med-high heat add a splash of Olive oil, when Oil starts to gently smoke add your meat mixture. Stir around for about 10 minutes. add in your Tomato sauce and turn the heat down to a simmer. Let that cook for 10-15 minutes.
Layering: This is the fun part. In a large baking pan you are going to add a thin layer of the meat sauce, Eggplant, spinach then Sauce. Repeat this Layering until you end with room for your last layer which is Cheese. I like to add a thick layer of cheese.

Leaving your dish uncovered, put it in the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes, This allows time for the Eggplant to break down in the middle and absorb the Sauce and all that great flavor you have.
Remove from the oven let cool for about 5 minutes and serve. This I swear to you is a great dish made just for you to cut back on those carbs and add a good amount of Veggies to your diet, Plus It's Doug-Licious!!!

Fresh Omelette with Jelly Toast Points #Breakfast #Eggs #Toast

So if your like me, you don't get to go out and eat much and you don't have much time to stop on the way to work to eat. i like to wake up early in the morning and make myself a nice omelette.Nothing says Doug-Licious like a nice fresh Omelette. Early in the morning or late afternoon doesn't matter whenever you feel the crave for an Omelette here is a great recipe for an omelette.

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon chopped Jalapeno
1 clove chopped Garlic
1/3 cup chopped Onion
1/3 cup chopped Spinach
2 tablespoons Half/Half
1 Egg
1 Slice of Toast
1 teaspoon of canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste 
JELLY

First. Grab you Japs, Onions, Garlic and spinach and chop those guys up nice and small. Boom! Set them aside. Next crack your egg into a small bowl add your Half/Half, and all of you chopped veggies, scramble that up and set aside. Boom!


   Next Get yourself a non-stick pan hot over medium high heat, add a teaspoon of oil (NOT OLIVE OIL) Olive oil burns very fast. When your oil is hot enough add your eggs to the pan. Now watch carefully as your Eggs start to cook keep a rubber spatula near, gently shake your pan around in a circle and you should see your soon to be omelette free up from the pan and as soon as you see this grab your spatula and flip your eggs like how you would with a pancake. Count to 10  after this fold your omelette in half and plate it up!!! Boom Boom Boom

For your Toast points this is a simple and fun way to eat toast, plus it looks really cool. Drop your slice of bread in the toaster I usually have my toaster setting on about 3-4 I don't really like crunchy toast. When your toast pops up remove the crust yeah take it all off. I feed my crust to the birds in the neighborhood. now with your Toast cleaned up no crust Cut your toast diagonally into long triangles Slap some jelly and then and BOOM BOOM BOOM!
