RECIPE OF THE MOMENT: Gingery Limeade

August 4, 2018
August 4, 2018

This tart and tasty recipe is adapted from one created by Ann Louise Gittleman. I like to use sparkling mineral water for an extra celebratory feeling. To amp up the ‘wow’ factor- serve in champagne flutes or garnish with lime wedges.

Yield: 4 Servings  

Ingredients

  • Juice of 3 or 4 limes
  • 2 tbsp. of finely grated ginger (or, like me, you can cheat and use Ginger People’s minced ginger)
  • 1 dropperful of liquid stevia, or honey to taste
  • 4 cups sparkling mineral water

Instructions

Combine 4 cups of sparkling water with all ingredients into a large pitcher. Mix or whisk well, chilling before serving.

IP Curry Chicken – adapted from a recipe by Metabolic Effect

This is a great recipe on days when it is too hot to cook but you want something warm and hearty for dinner! Serve with brown rice or riced cauliflower (now available at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and even select Costcos).

 

Ingredients:


o 1.5-2 lbs. chicken breasts

o ¾ cup canned coconut milk

o 1 cup chicken broth

o 2 tablespoons tomato paste

o 2 garlic cloves, minced

o 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (dried just doesn’t cut it here)

o 4-6 tablespoons yellow curry powder

o 2 red bell peppers, chopped into 1 cubes

o 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced

o 4 yukon gold potatoes, cubed into bite-sized chunks

o Salt and pepper, to taste

o Dash of red pepper flakes


Directions:

Place chicken in the Instant Pot or a slow cooker. Mix the coconut milk, tomato paste, garlic, ginger, curry powder, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes in a bowl and mix well. Add in peppers, potatoes and onions. Mix all ingredients together to completely cover the chicken in the curry mixture. Cover and cook at low for 6-8 hours or use the poultry setting on the IP. Quick release pressure if using the Poultry setting.

3 Foods I Prep Each Week to Keep My Healthy Diet On Point.

June 24, 2018
June 24, 2018

1) Roasted Vegetables – A large sheet pan of roasted vegetables make it really easy to get vegetables in daily. When I am pressed for time I raid the salad bar for pre-cut veggies or purchase pre-cut bags of carrots, cabbage, and butternut squash to use for the week. 20-30 minutes in a 400 degree oven and I have 10-14 servings available to use as a vegetable hash, side dish for dinner, or to add to a filling soup.

2) Veg Crudités – veg and hummus is a mainstay snack for me midweek. Hummus is rich in fiber and quite filling when paired with fresh veggies. Mini peppers, snap peas, baby carrots, and cucumber slices all show up as hummus vehicles. With 1 cup of raw veggies being a serving, it’s easy to get 2 servings at snack time.

3) Breakfast Frittata or Homemade Sausage Patties – One of my favorite frittata recipes comes from PrepDish, a fantastic food plan subscription service that I lean on during busy weeks to make food prep easier, this frittata recipe has become a favorite: Mediterranean Frittata

Homemade Sausage Patties are a great, portable protein source for grab and go food in the morning. You can prep the meat and freeze it for up to 3 months, thawing and cooking enough to get you through as many days as needed. Here is a tasty recipe you can try that I adapted from RealSimpleGood.com:

 

Ingredients
  • 1 lb pasture raised ground pork or turkey
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika (use smoked paprika or hot paprika to kick it up a notch)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
Instructions
  1. Place the ground pork in a medium sized bowl.
  2. Mix onions and garlic into ground pork.
  3. Mix the seasonings together in a separate bowl, then pour the seasonings in with the pork and mix together well. Make sure the seasonings are evenly incorporated throughout the pork.
  4. Shape the sausage into 4-6 patties.
  5. Heat a pan over medium heat then add the patties, cooking until completely done, about 5 minutes per side.

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled, and can be frozen in patty form either uncooked or cooked.
