This recipe reads a little complicated at first glance, but the ingredients and prep are pretty minimal, and once you get going, you see it's pretty simple. Unlike the flavors at the end, which are layered and curious. If you're looking for something a little different, this is your dinner. Thicker-cut boneless pork is the best choice, or bone-in pork chops. If your chops are thinner, just shorten the pork cooking times and take care not to overcook. With the bok choy base and shallot topping, you get plenty of greens in this notable pork dish. No sides needed.

We made this recipe using Chanterelle mushrooms, known as Pfifferling in Germany. Just wow. They are the perfect mushrooms for scrambled eggs. Garlic and oil brings out their beauty. Of course our scrambled eggs are packed with egg whites to boost the protein count. The few yolks and almond milk keeps them from getting rubbery. We went to extremes, making multiple servings one day and re-warming them every morning. While this doesn't always work with eggs, they help up and were enjoyable 4 days in a row. Of course, we recommend them fresh. Enjoy!

After 3 days eating it, we're still ready for our another serving.

Beef broth cuts down on the ghee needed to replace the tablespoons of butter normally featured in a Steak au Poivre recipe. But we keep the buttery flavor.

The psyllium husk takes the place of cornstarch to keep your fat-free yogurt from separating. But it's just optics. This one's a winner!
