For the past 2 cooking,I created 2 dishes that is totally new for me and a great challenge. My hopes is to create dishes that are healthy, nutritional, tasty and trainer approved. I am trying hard this year to stay on the path of eating clean. I always realize what I must do, it is just getting to do it. My trainer has taught me many things and I am very grateful and fortunate to have met her. She has physically and mentally transformed me. I am so feeling a sense of self confidence and higher self esteem that I never had. Thank You!
Of course, I have had major anxiety attacks when I have to go to gathering and parties. I believe it is from when I was growing up, I was left out of things, never got pick to be on a team, was outcast, was ridicule and make fun of. This is very hard for me but I am trying in baby steps how to deal with it.
I will have lots more to say how others have helped me but today I dedicated this blog write up to my trainer.
My 2 recipes was stuffed flounder and herb, walnut crushed salmon
The stuffing mix that i made was with crushed walnuts and gluten free bread - I can only remember I added cumin, coriander, cinnamon, crushed garlic, onions, ginger, salt pepper, parsley, and some nutritional yeast to it. As for the fish, I used an egg white wash that had rosemary , garlic, sesame oil , cooking wine and little soy sauce. With the salmon, I soak the fish in the egg wash and then added the walnut crush on top and then roll it in the gluten bread and pan fried for 2 mins on each side. Rest was put into the oven to bake for 5 mins and let cool to continue cooking on its own.
the stuffing for the flounder was similiar but I put in spinach from the garden, portebello mushrooms, omions, garlic all chopped up - stir fry in coconut oil and added the stuffing I made for the salmon, added some feta cheese and some sweetened soy sauce. Rolled the mixture between the flounder, pass it through some gluten free bread crumbs - Seared it for 2 mins and allowed to cool
I know this is much of recipes but they really are not recipes. Just condiments that I would throw in as I am cooking and creating. The side dishes is usually a vegetable such as sauteed spinach, roasted brussel sprouts with pecans, or stir fry asparagus.
This week I am going to do a pecan,walnut, crab meat stuffing with tilapia. Side dish will be boy choy and asparagus, maybe rice medley or sweet potatoes.
I am so tired this week and I got tons of laundry to do. Clothes for yoga, for warrior, for training, for HIIT sure pile up and I could not fit everything in the washer.
Also this week, well, one day, I went and did a 1m walk/jog and it was very hard - my legs were not tired but the glutes and hamstrings sure hurt - which is good because at least I know those are the proper muscles firing. I also think this long distance running is not really for me. So long term, I might just do shorter distance.
We will see!
Enjoy the writeup and if you need some ideas, let me know. I already helped someone with stuffed peppers, and how to cook swiss chard and they said it was pretty good. So I guess I did good too
Until next time, stay healthy and eat well
