Living alone makes cooking both hard and easy. Most recipes, and food in general, are designed with more than one person in mind. On the flip side, the only person whose tastes I must cater to are my own. With that being said, I will not be offended if you change, alter, add, or subtract anything from my recipes, and I encourage you to double or triple the recipes as needed.
I have an interesting relationship with food; in fact, a lot of what I write about in my blog stems from that relationship whether it's stated outright or not. Most of the time, it's not. But food and I have been destined down this path for quite some time, and finding a simpler, straight forward way to write about it is a nice change. Recipe time! These two dishes go together perfectly for a nice, healthy dinner.
Fraddishes: (name credits are not mine)These could be my few favorite veggie swap. They honestly could be the worlds healthiest fries. For 1 cup of radish slices (which is a lot!) it's 18 calories and 3.9 carbs! Crazy, i know.
Ingredients:
1 bag of radishes (I bought the kind that are de-stemmed and ready to go)
PAM or olive oil/coconut oil
Paprika
Salt (optional)
Garlic Powder
Directions:

| After! Totally looks like sweet potato fries! Tastes even better! |
1. Preheat oven to 425. For ease, you can use a food processor with the thinnest slicer blade OR you can just use a knife and cut the radishes into very thin slices. I sliced about 10-15 radishes (they shrink down a lot in the oven, fyi)
 |
| Before - just plain old radishes |
2. Spray a foil-lined pan with PAM or use olive oil and place radishes on sheet - sprinkle with paprika and some garlic (you can use salt or whatever else you like, too, but the paprika really makes it).
3. Do another quick spray of PAM on top, or drizzle with olive oil and put on the bottom rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes. keep an eye out to make sure they don't get too burned!
4. Flip the radishes over and put back in for 10 more minutes - they should look crispy!
5. Remove from oven and enjoy!
Turkey Roll Ups
Ingredients
1 or 2 turkey cutlets (Trader Joe's, Kroger, Wallmart all sell them)
2 Mushrooms
2 Sage leaves
Handful of fresh spinach leaves
garlic
kitchen twine or toothpick
bread crumbs (i use half of a low carb wheat pita, toast it, and put it in my food processor) but you can use panko or regular breadcrumbs.
egg wash or olive oil
Directions:
1. Pound one cutlet in between two pieces of Saran wrap until turkey is about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Then, put sage leaves, garlic, mushrooms and spinach in the food processor to make a filling.
Sautéed that for a few minutes in a pan with PAM or olive oil. Just a few minutes.
3. With a spoon, put it on top of the turkey and spread it out, leaving about a half of an inch around the sides.
4. Carefully rolled it up starting with the narrowest edge.
5. You can tie it with some kitchen twine or try to press it down firmly so that it doesn't come unrolled. Brush the turkey with Egg (egg beaters work, PAM works, olive oil works) and gently pushed it down into the bread crumbs. Get both sides covered.
6. Place turkey on foil-covered baking sheet with the seam side down.
7. Baked it at 375 for about 15 minutes on one side and 15 on the other. Be careful when you flip it over, use a two spatulas to pick up and guide it back down. *Times may vary, but always make sure the meat is fully cooked!
8. Cut it open to see how cool it looks inside and enjoy!
