1 clove garlic, minced
Cooking spray
½ small onion, finely diced
½ cup frozen peas & carrots
Directions
- Add sesame oil, garlic & onion to a pan and heat over medium heat. Cook 3 to 4 minutes to soften onions.

Nutrition Tip: You cannot not ask for an easier healthy meal! The smells from the kitchen will scream “comfort food” and yet this meal will not sabotage your nutrition goals! The egg thickens up the cauliflower to a fried rice texture that is sure to please. It’s lower carb, higher fiber and a good protein source. Best part, it takes no time at all. Enjoy!
