Huevos Rancheros

Ok, I know it looks like a hot mess, but this is something I've been craving for a while. Honestly, I don't think I've had better huevos rancheros. The little blob of brown yellow at the bottom left of the picture is actually a cheese crisp. Currently, my diet calls for 2 oz. of cheese with 1 egg, so I used my second ounce of cheese to make a little cheese crisp.

Ingredients:
1 medium egg
1 corn tortilla (I used LaFactory as each tortilla is only 45 calories)
1 oz. hard cheese, shredded
4 oz. tomatoes
4 oz. mushrooms (if you don't like mushrooms, you can always use green peppers and green onions instead)
1 tbsp. Frank's buffalo sauce
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
cooking spray

Directions:
Coat a pan with cooking spray. Over medium high heat, cook tortilla until crispy. Top tortilla with half the shredded cheese. Add more cooking spray to the pan, and crack your egg, cooking over medium high-heat. Season egg to your liking and cook over-easy. After flipping the egg, top with remaining cheese, and cook until the cheese is melted. Place cooked egg over the cheesy tortilla.

As tortilla and egg cooks, prepare the veggies. Wash the tomatoes and mushrooms. Chop into small pieces (if you like it really finely chopped, you can use a food processor). Add salt and pepper to chopped vegetables, and mix thoroughly. Add buffalo sauce, and stir to combine. Top the egg and tortilla with vegetables (if may be too much to put on the egg; I ate the remaining bit as a side dish - delicious!).

Greek Smoothie

Well, it's been a while since I've posted any recipes. Partially because I've been too busy/tired to try to come up with some cool new recipes. Partially because any cool recipes I had wasn't picture worthy. But mainly my laziness is showing.

I had this one for lunch today as I had loads of stuff to do, but I didn't want to find myself scrambling for food at a drive-thru. I've always loved green smoothies, and this one is definitely flavorful. I call it a Greek smoothie because of its Greek yogurt base with overtones of cucumber. I'll definitely be having this again (particularly since I now have a personal-sized blender at work).

Ingredients:
6 oz. plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
8 oz. raw cucumber, washed and sliced
1/4 small cantaloupe, cubed
2 packets of Stevia

Directions:
Add yogurt, cucumber, and melon to a blender being sure the yogurt is on the bottom. This will help with the blending process. Sprinkle on 2 packets of Stevia. Blend to desired consistency (I liked having a few chunks of the fruit and vegetable throughout the smoothie. Enjoy!
