So for those who don't know me, cooking is a passion, a hobby and therapy for me. I am also a giving person and moreso for those I truly care and love. I am also one who shows the utmost respect for people around me, people who help me and people I truly care about. So the only ways I know how to thank them is through my cooking. When I see a smile on their face and they say Wow to the tasting of my food - I am happy because they are.
I was at training this morning and my trainer - who loves my cooking said I should write my recipes down so to help other people. What I create thus far does not have addded sugars, salt and the only oils I used is coconut oil and at times sesame oil and olive oil - These recipes I feel can help people to stay eating clean, good for them and maybe weight loss.
This weekend, I made many foods - I made roasted brussel sprouts, green beans, chicken and salmon and wild rice/quinoa/black rice concoction.
This is from memory of the spices and condiments I used. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how much of this and that - it's up to you and your taste buds - if you truly need a recipes per se- let me know and I see what I can do.
Grilled Chicken Breasts - I used organic Chicken Breasts. I pounded the chicken breasts - this way, it will absorb the spices better and it will be much more tender.
- condiments and spices used - fresh is best but dried is good too - rosemary, garlic, onion, poultry seasoning, bragg's amino, nutritional yeast, either coconut oil or olive oil - since chicken breasts don't have a whole lot of fat- need an agent that will keep it moist while grilling, some cooking wine - marinade and grill
Grilled Salmon or whatever fish you like - I use wild caught any kind of fish - since it is fish, it requires a balance of condiments such as sweet/salt , sweet/sour, hot/sweet, hot/sour - like that.
Ginger is a must( fresh is best but ground is good as well), garlice, rosemary, onion, coconut oil, marsala, salt, white pepper, soy sauce and little bit of honey
Green Beans - I found the french thinner style beans at Costco - I stir fry that in a combo of coconut and grapeseed oil - first adding minced garlic cloves and let it burn - and then throw in the beans - the garlic oozes into the oils - I add salt , pepper some crushed pepper flakes if u like little spicy and if you got other sauce , u can add - I threw in some agave nectar a dash just to off set the salt
Brussell sprouts - I believe I had a recipe in the other posts
Last week, I made a rice medley that had brown rice, beans, other grains and was quite tasty - trying this other recipe which I cooked in part vegetable broth
Enjoy,
Sue
