Philly Cheesesteak Salad / Keto-Friendly Lunch Just Dee 2018-10-01 | I made this for Instagram but figured I'd upload it here as well for those of you who aren't following me there. You should though, you'll get to see more of my daily food prep 😉 (just_dee_cooking). My niece was eating a salad yesterday which she said was a Philly cheesesteak over salad instead of on bread. It tasted quite good so i decided to make my own version of it and I had everything I needed on hand. This may work for you if you are on the Keto diet or trying to skip carbs for a meal. Enjoy and I'll catch you next time. Here I used sandwich steak/bulgogi. I get my beef directly from local farmers so I'm not sure if this cut is available in the grocery stores.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust / Cauliflower Pizza / Keto Pizza Just Dee 2018-09-28 | Hello there y'all! Hope you've had a great week. So today's recipe is for a cauliflower pizza crust. If you want something different, are on a keto diet, want something lighter or are staying away from carbs but still want pizza then this is a great crust to use. Cauliflower is so versatile and pretty much tastes like nothing so it works great as a replacement for a lot of things. It does contain a lot of water so be sure to squeeze out as much as possible. If you don't have a cheese cloth, a kitchen towel works fine. You can top with any toppings you like. If you freeze the crust, take it out of the freezer and right into your pre-heated oven (375 - 400) just until its warm then top and broil. Enjoy and I will catch you in the next one.Watch me make shrimp fried riced cauliflower here: youtu.be/EKw7JApTbCAAbout 1.5 lbs cauliflower, riced2 Tbsps grated parmesan cheese2 Tbsps soft cheese or additional parmesan or Italian blend1 small egg, beaten1/2 tsp garlic powder1/2 tsp Italian seasoning1/4 tsp saltSauce and toppings of your choice

Perfect Salmon/Pan Crisped Salmon Just Dee 2018-08-10 | Hola y'all and happy Friday!! I've been traveling and quite tired lately so I haven't cooked much. On this night I decided to make something quick and easy. On my way home I stopped at the store and picked up some wild caught salmon. I decided to serve it with a corn salad, check out the recipe for that (coming up next). It was so quick yet so very yummy. It's not hard to get that perfect crisp on your fish, just use the right amount of heat, be sure your pan is hot and don't disturb the fish until it's ready to be flipped. I cooked the salmon for a total of about 6 minutes. Keep in mind though that if you don't serve your fish quick enough it will start to lose the crispiness. My two pieces of salmon totalled just a tad bit over 1/2 pound. Enjoy and I'll catch you in the next one.1/2lb Salmon1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)1/2 tsp black pepper2-3 Tbsp oil
Better Than Takeout Beef and Broccoli / Homemade Beef and Broccoli Just Dee 2018-08-02 | Hi fam! I feel like it's been a minute. I've been traveling so of course that means no cooking. I made this delicious peppered beef and broccoli in between travels. At this point, you know I always say I like color in my food and that's what inspired this take on classic beef and broccoli. I have mentioned previously that I eat beef only when sourced from our local farmers because it needs to be organic, grass fed and finished. You can use skirt steak or tenderloin sliced into thin strips. You can leave out the peppers if you just want the classic dish. Serve this over brown or white rice, quinoa, pasta or nothing 🤣. Enjoy and I'll catch you next time.3 Tbsps oil (your choice)About 1lb of broccoli cut, washed and blanched1lb of sliced beef (tenderloin or skirt steak) cut into thin stripsA mix of bell peppers (about 1/4 of each) cut into strips1 medium onion cut into large pieces2 cloves of garlic, pressed or finely chopped1 Tbsp grated ginger2 tsps crushed red pepper (to taste)1 Tbsp organic corn starch1 Tbsp black pepper (to taste)Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)Sauce: (mix together)2 Tbsps dark sauce + 1 Tbsp regular soy sauce (or 3 Tbsp regular if you don't have dark)1 Tbsp oyster sauce1 Tbsp honey1 Tbsp sesame oil
Nigerian Ogbono Soup (Bonus At The End) Just Dee 2018-07-19 | This is one soup that might be an acquired taste. I didn't eat it growing up (at least not that I recall) so I don't eat it very often. This was my first time making it this year so I figured I better film it for you guys 🤣. You can use meat only but I particularly like dried/smoked fish in this soup. As you will see, I sometimes add okra to the soup. You should already know that I like to know what I'm eating so I usually buy whole ingredients and grind them myself which is what I did with the ogbono seeds (well I didn't buy these, they were given to me lol). Enjoy and I'll catch you next time. 1/3 cup red palm oil3/4 cup ground ogbono seeds1 cup meat broth, warm2 cups hot/warm water2-3 tsp ground red pepper (or to taste)1.5 tsp season all (to taste)1.5 Tbsp ground crayfishMixture of meats and dried fish1 cup finely sliced spinach (optional)

Summer Wrap Bites Just Dee 2018-06-16 | Hope y'all had a great week. I started making these years ago. I think I was inspired by some wraps I saw in a grocery store (I really don't remember). They are nice and refreshing for a summer get- together or a tea party. Very simple to make yet quite delicious. Do give it a shot and let me know what you think. Remember that you can and should always play around and tweak things when it comes to cooking. I'll catch you next time!3 large wraps (I used tomato - basil flour wraps)6 slices of your favorite cheese1/2 lb (pound) deli meat1/2 cucumber (seedless), thinly sliced into strips1 cup grated carrots4-5 Lettuce leaves ( any lettuce)Avocado (optional)Spread4 oz cream cheese1/4 cup mustard1 Tbsp honey (to taste)1/4 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
