Asparagus & Cheese Veggie Pie

Over the past month I’ve been able to lose 7 lbs. by cutting out sugars and starches from my diet, and adding tons of veggies. Cutting out sugars and starches has helped me feel better, crave less sugar, be able to eat a lot until I’m full without restrictive calorie counting, and to really feel in control of my food. Before I started this program, I was losing only a couple pounds a month. Once it started coming off more quickly it was a lot more motivating. You should try it with me 😉

I’ve been trying to find and create recipes that have lots of green veggies, but don’t have sugars, starch, or even milk. I can have eggs and cheese but not milk because of the sugar in it. After about 3 weeks of salad for almost every meal, I started to get realllll bored of leafy greens. I love my salads, but I need some meal variation. Enter this Asparagus & Cheese Veggie Pie ! I sauteed up some of my favorite green veggies, added in some turkey bacon, mixed it all with some eggs and baked with cheese on top. It was delicious!
