My Dad LOVES fried green tomatoes. What a perfect time to make them, now that gardens are sprouting beautiful juicy tomatoes. Here is an adapted recipe from my dad.
1 large tomato (slighly green, yet soft)
1/2 cup almond meal
1 egg
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup Coconut oil OR Ghee OR Macadamia Nut Oil
Optional: fresh basil from the garden
In a frying pan heat oil. Cut tomato into 1/4 inch slices. Break the egg and mix in a small bowl. Mix the almond meal (or other ground nut), salt and pepper (and other spices/herbs if desired) in another small bowl.
Place the cut tomato in the egg mixture, then in the almond mixture until well coated. Place in hot oil and fry until golden brown. Enjoy! Love you dad:) Makes 4 servings.

I know the recipe sounds weird, instead of heavy cream, I used cream cheese. This added an amazing flavor without extra calories, 1 TBS of cream is 50 calories, 1 TBS of cream cheese is also 50 calories. Since you only need a small amount of cream cheese...

- Shrimp With Lemon "rice" And Crispy Basil
This was a tasty dinner. Lots of flavors going on here. It takes a little time to prepare, but I prepared the Cauliflower Rice the night before along with pre-frying the basil. I also had the marinated shrimp ready to go when I got home from work, so...
