This is chock full of nutrition! Lots of yummy vegetables wrapped in eggs, and topped with salsa, cheese and cilantro! It’s a great way to start your day! Of course, as always, you can swap out any ingredients you like, or leave out things you don’t like.
Heat small cast iron skillet over medium-medium high heat. Add 1/2 T. avocado oil. Saute onions and spinach until spinach is starting to wilt, stirring often. Add peppers and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes. Stir until peppers and tomatoes are cooked as desired. Remove items from pan to a bowl.
Reduce heat to medium. Beat eggs with cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add another 1/2 T. avocado oil to hot skillet. Add eggs to skillet. As eggs begin to set up around the edges, tilt the pan and lift that portion of the egg with spatula, so that the uncooked egg runs down underneath the cooked egg. Continue moving around the skillet in this way until egg is done.
Add veggies to one side of the omelette.
Tilt skillet and guide gently onto a serving plate. Top with salsa, shredded cheese and cilantro, or your choice of toppings.
My husband and I both loved this fish! It was so good that we were wishing that I had made more than one filet for each of us. Mild white fish seasoned and cooked in a skillet, then topped with a cilantro lime butter. Delicious!
If you prefer, you can use flounder or tilapia instead of cod.

Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the Cilantro Lime Butter.

This is a recipe my mother-in-law gave me that she always used for funeral dinners. I also used it many times for church dinners. It was always very popular.
Mix all dressing ingredients together and let stand in refrigerator at least 1 hour. Stir in cole slaw. It will seem like there is not enough dressing to begin with, but will become thinner after the cole slaw is added and it sits for a little while.
Crush cookies, using food processor. Reserve 3 cups. Add melted butter to remaining cookie crumbs. Press in thin layers in bottom of pans with 2" sides or so.
Soften ice cream and spread over cookie crust. Freeze.
Add chocolate syrup and peanuts. Cover with Cool Whip.
Sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs on top and freeze.
In a saucepan, melt butter and add onion and celery. Cover and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, so it does not burn,
While that is cooking, dice the potatoes and begin boiling those in some water, about 2 cups, but no need to measure. When the potatoes begin boiling, turn the heat down and check occasionally to see if they are tender. When they are tender, drain and set aside.
When onions and celery are tender, combine cornstarch with 1 cup water. Add to pan with chicken base and milk. Stir so there are no lumps. Add salt, pepper and parsley as it cooks. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until it is thickened as desired. Add potatoes and stir in. Rewarm for a few minutes, if necessary, and serve.
Suggested garnishes are fresh parsley or cilantro, shredded cheese of your choice, bacon (cooked and crumbled) or croutons (be careful of the croutons if gluten free or wheat free).
In a skillet, brown ground beef with onions and mushrooms, crumbling as it cooks. Add pepper, beef base and flour and stir to combine. Add water. Stir over medium high heat, until thickened to desired consistency.
Recipe Notes
Although spelt is actually a type of wheat flour, most people with wheat allergies can digest spelt with no problem. Obviously, you should not eat spelt if it is a problem for you.
Brown noodles in butter in large skillet. Pour rice over noodles, then water and chicken base. Stir to combine. Cover with lid and bring just to a boil. Turn down to medium low heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
Recipe Notes
If you prefer, you can substitute regular spaghetti noodles or gluten free, and use chicken broth in place of the water and chicken base.
This tastes better than the box of Hamburger Helper, but is nearly as easy! No nasty chemicals or preservatives and it is easy to make it gluten free, wheat free, or soy free, since you are in control of the ingredients!
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and brown the ground beef. As the beef is cooking, slice the mushrooms and add the mushroom slices to the partially cooked ground beef.
Combine the seasonings while that finishes cooking.
Add all other ingredients (except sour cream) to the cooked beef.
Stir to combine and cover. Bring to boil, then lower heat to medium low and allow to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through. (The time may vary depending on the type of noodles you use. Read the directions on the package.)
Add the sour cream and let sit for 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Heat skillet and add butter so eggs don't stick.
Beat or whisk the eggs in a small bowl with cream and salt and pepper.
Cook in skillet, stirring occasionally, until almost set up. Remove from heat and serve.
Recipe Notes
If you stir scrambled eggs too much as they are cooking, they will end up crumbly and not be as creamy.
If you don't mind the extra fat and calories, double the cream for extra creamy eggs!
