Beef and Broccoli Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry



I've been sharing a lot of our meals on my stories (Instagram and facebook) so my focus has really been heavy there these past few months but I'm trying to get back to blogging more consistently so that you have a place to go for new healthy recipes too!

I personally refer to my own blog like it's my own personal recipe book and use it often when I'm making dinner or meal prepping for the week. In fact every Sunday when I make a batch of baked oatmeal for our weeks breakfasts, I come here for the recipe!!

This week I shared my meal plan and offered the recipes to anyone who wanted them and found a few of them not posted to the blog when I went to link people to them so I figured I better get them added asap!

For Breakfasts I made the Garden Berry Baked Oatmeal recipe using frozen mixed berries. I portioned it out into mason jars so that it's an easy grab and go meal all week. We also portioned out greek yogurt to go with it as a protein source.

For lunch I prepped Greek Chicken Couscous Salad which as become my go to!

And here are all the Dinner Recipe links to our Meal Plan for the rest of the week!
Monday: Lettuce wrapped turkey burger with Turnip fries
WednesdayBeef & Broccoli over Cauliflower Rice (Recipe below)



Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

This yummy Beef and Broccoli recipe has been a draft post for a few weeks now since so it's time to release it!!

I would suggest using tamari, a low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for this recipe as the salt will get ya the next day if you happen to step on the scale. And for my 2Bmindset bunnies who weigh in daily for tracking purposes, I want you to be prepared mentally that this dinner COULD show as a weight gain day the next day but likely a loss the following day or two simply because of the salt in the soy sauce.

But it's so worth it and gets us eating something besides turkey and chicken in the week!

Everyone loves this easy and tasty dinner in our house. And swapping the cauliflower rice instead of brown rice gives us more veggies and fits the 2B Mindset plate it dinner too!

Ingredients

1 TBSP soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 TBSP water
1 tsp tapioca starch
½ teaspoon raw honey
1 tsp olive oil
4 ounces top sirloin
1-cup broccoli florets
1 clove garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup cooked Cauliflower rice

Directions

Combine soy sauce, water, cornstarch, and honey in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook until cooked through.  Remove beef.
Add broccoli, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes. Remove broccoli and add to bowl with beef. Keep warm
Add soy sauce mixture to the skillet and heat for 30 seconds. Return beef and broccoli to skillet with sauce and stir to coat. Remove and serve over cooked cauliflower rice.

Turnip Fries


I had to share this recipe with you here in case you missed it on my facebook page!

These turnip fries are a game changer because they hit the spot just like regular fries but they are a healthy veggie you can load up on with zero guilt!! I seriously hope you try them and let me know if you are a fan too! 

YES they do take some patience and time to cook but do it first before preparing the rest of your dinner and you will be good to go!
