Holly's Tiny Kitchen

I found this recipe at:  www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grilled-Asian-Flank-Steak-with-Sweet-Slaw-242464 But I was in a bit of a hurry and ended up using it more of an inspiration recipe. This came out surprisingly good. I did pair this with some mashed celery root and vegetables.  Ingredients: 1 & 1/2 pound flank steak 1/4 cup soy sauce 5 TBS vegetable oil 1 & 1/2 TSP ground ginger 1 TSP garlic powder Directions: Combine all ingredients and put into a zip lock bag.  Let this marinade for about 30 minutes.  You can cook this on a grill or stove top. I used my stove top and it came out fine. 

I know, I know it's been a while since I have been on here. I honestly have not been making any new recipes lately and just repeating old ones. A few people have been bugging me to post more so I tweaked my Low Carb Beef Lasagna recipe tonight.  Ingredients: 1 large onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 1-2 cups mushrooms 2 zucchinis 1 pound ground beef (I always use 97%) 14 oz can of pizza sauce (I used a Ragu version) 1 TBS dried parsley 1 TBS Italian seasoning blend 15 oz ricotta cheese 4 cups mozzarella cheese, divided 1/4 cup Romano cheese 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly ground salt & pepper to taste Directions: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Heat a frying pan on high and use olive oil cooking spray. Chop and cook the onion in the frying pan. Add the garlic to the frying pan and stir well, you do not want this to burn, it does burn easily. Remove onion and garlic from the pan. Chop and add the mushrooms, once golden brown remove from the p...

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!

I have made this once before and it came out fantastic!!! I decide to make it again and do some minor tweaks to it. The leftovers turned out to be one of my favorite lunches.  I found the original recipe/idea at:  yourlighterside.com/low-carb-recipe-lasagna-without-noodles-zucchini/ I did have to make a few modifications so the recipe I'm posting is the one I made.  Ingredients: 2 Large zucchini squash Olive oil Cooking spray 2 Cloves garlic, minced 1 Cup mushrooms, chopped 1/2 Cup Yellow Onion, chopped 1 LBS Ground Turkey or Ground Beef (I used Turkey this time) 12 oz Jar of Pizza Sauce (I used the Ragu Brand) 3 Cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided 2 Cups Cottage Cheese, full fat 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese 1.5 TBS dried chopped Chives Salt & Pepper to taste Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Wash the Zucchini's and then using a peeler, take of the outer skin and discard.  Using a sharp knife cut the Zucchini ...

Usually when I try a new recipe it takes me about an hour to create it. Well, this recipe was a HUGE exception and took about exactly 30 minutes. I finished this very quickly along with making Mock Mashed Potatoes using celery root again. The celery root was a huge hit with Mike the last time I made it so I decided to make it again. I mentioned to him about making it again and his eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning. That always makes me feel good.  Tonight's dinner came out awesome but the sauce caramelized a bit too much because I think I cooked it too long and I left out the butter in the recipe.  Thanks to the oil, I really did not think I needed it and felt it made it a bit lower fat.  I may make more sauce for the leftovers because the sauce was so good but will just double the beef broth. I also left out the thyme by accident. When I make this sauce again, I will be sure to include that even though I'm going to be using only 1/8 of a TSP. For the sauce, I h...

I have made the Oopsie Rolls and similar burger's before but I modified the burgers a bit so that is why I made a new blog entry. Instead of putting the cheese in the middle, I switched that and put the Mushroom and Onions inside and then added the cheese when we were ready to eat it after the burgers were cooked. These are super filling and I had veggies to eat but I was so full I skipped the veggies.  I got the original recipes from:  For the Oopsie Rolls : yourlighterside.com/gluten-free-low-carb-buns-aka-oopsie-rolls/ Veggie Stuffed Burgers : www.fatsecret.com/recipes/cheese-and-vegetable-stuffed-burgers/Default.aspx Oopsie Rolls (low carb/gluten free) Image Source: yourlighterside.com/gluten-free-low-carb-buns-aka-oopsie-rolls/ Ingredients: 3 large eggs 1/8 TSP cream of tartar 3 oz cream cheese (Do not soften) Directions:  Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.  Separate the egg yolks and whites into two different mixing bowls.  Add c...
