Holly's Tiny Kitchen

I had leftover Diakon and a new package of Canadian Bacon. I got an idea. The last time I made hash browns with Diakon, they came out really good. Diakon seems to be a good substitute for Potatoes due to it's texture and how it cooks up.  This is a HollyG original recipe. Ingredients 1/2 Pound of Diakon, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces. About 5 pieces of Canadian bacon, cut into about 1/4 inch pieces. 3 Pieces of mozzarella string cheese (you can use whatever type of cheese you have but mozzarella tends to complement Canadian bacon well) Salt & pepper to taste Directions Heat a large frying pan on high.  Chop up the Diakon and add it to the frying pan.  Add freshly ground Salt and Pepper.  Let the Diakon cook while you cut up the Canadian Bacon. Add the Canadian bacon when the Diakon is just starting to brown.  Add the mozzarella cheese to the pan and cook for only a few minutes so it does not burn.  Remove from heat and serve.  Optional: You can add an

Honestly, fries are a major trigger food for me. I just can't have one. So I came up with a substitute! You can find Daikon at any Asian grocery store.  I found this recipe at: yourlighterside.com/2013/03/daikon-fries/ I really did not follow the recipe exactly and just fried them in a frying pan. I also had some Ground Turkey to use up so I made some Veggie Burgers to pair it with. (UPDATE: You can also bake these and I highly recommend that!) I used this recipe as my inspiration recipe for the Turkey Burgers:  allrecipes.com/recipe/actually-delicious-turkey-burgers/detail.aspx Diakon Fries Ingredients 1 pound Diakon radish, skinned and sliced into 1/4" x 1/4" strips 1/2 cup water, divided 2 TPS vinegar, divided 1 TSP salt, divided 1/2 cup peanut oil, divided Directions Put 1/4 cup water, 1 TSP vinegar,  1/2 TSP salt and 1/4 cup oil in a frying pan and heat on high.  Add 1/2 pound Diakon strips. Cook for about 10 minutes until brown. 

Tonight I threw together a very easy dinner. I paired the Fajita's with some refried beans. Mike had a tortilla while I skipped my low carb tortilla and just ate the inner parts with sour cream, salsa and cheese.  Ingredients: Sirloin beef steak, cut into strips 5 red, yellow and orange bell peppers 1 small onion, chopped 1 pound mushrooms, chopped 1 fajita seasoning pack (yes, I'm lazy and did not make my own seasoning) 1/4 cup of water Directions: Heat a large skillet with Pam cooking spray Add the beef to the skillet till slightly brown Add the seasoning pack and 1/4 cup of water Add the veggies, cook until veggies are soft.  Serve and enjoy!
