This recipe was a bit more pretty than it was tasty. Next time I might experiment with a little more Seasoning. Start with 1 lb Chicken rub with 1 tblsp olive oil with 1 1/2 tsps poultry seasoning (which I didn't have so I made it up with sage, tarragon, garlic powder, salt,pepper,and thyme) bake 450 for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile steam 8 oz. grean beans. Drain and rinse one can of white beans. Toss together with 2/3 cup buttermilk.
Sometimes I get fancy with my salad. Herb salad mix with shaved parm, kalamata olives, marinated artichokes, tomato & cucumber. What kind of fancy are you?
One big sweet onion chopped and 1 big tbsp of minced garlic sauteed in 2 TBSP of oil 4 to 5 minutes. Push aside and add 3/4 lb ground turkey 1 tbslp taco seasoning & 4 tsp cumin. Cook over medium about 10 min. Add 3 cups white beans 2 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for 10 minutes. Add puree of 1 cup chicken stock & left over beans ( almost a cup) & 1/2 cup half and half and heat. Add salt & shredded cheese to taste ( I used 1/2 cup cheese ). Yum.
I was really excited to try out this recipe. I was even more pissed when I ended up chopping my hand instead. I'm fine, just annoyed. So to get back at this cabbage, I chopped it into a coleslaw. 4 cups cabbage, a few teaspoons sesame oil & red wine vinegar plus an ample tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. It's a good side dish for teriyaki chicken. Not worth losing a finger over ( which I didn't ).
Basically, this is super delicious. You should fall in love with it. I did. Put water and 3 eggs in a saucepan. Bring to a boil remove from heat and let soak in hot water for 15 minutes. While it's soaking boil 1 & a half cups shelled edmame for 3 minutes then rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Salad assembly : 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped. 3 sliced tomatoes. Peeled sliced hard boiled eggs & edamame. Peanut dressing = 3 tsps peanut butter, 2 tblsps mirin, 2 tblsp water 1 tsp splenda. Blend well (really it takes a minute to fully combine.) Drizzle over salad. Enjoy!
Summertime grilling is so wonderful, I never want summer to end. Teriyaki Marinade is :
1/2 cup sugar free pancake syrup
4 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp Mirin
Juice of 1 lime
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced ginger
I know the pancake syrup thing sounds weird, but trust me it works really well. I marinate the Ahi for only about 30 minutes, then grill, transfer the sauce to a little pan and simmer up a little until it thickens, then drizzle back onto the grilled fish. Served with steamed broccoli & salad.
No . Edamame. This is my south beach teriyaki chicken ,
Teriyaki Sauce = juice of 1 small lime, 1 TBSP minced garlic, 2 inch piece ginger peeled & minced, 4 TBSP Mirin, 5 TBSP Soy Sauce, 1/2 cup sugar free pancake syrup. Amounts are approx, I didn't measure out too well. Marinated chicken for 20-30 minutes then grilled. Last 5 minutes grilled 5 plums (halved). Serve with TJs Edamame and leftover teriyaki drizzled over all.
Soooo much tastier than it sounds I am pleased to report! New recipe from new SB cookbook. I bought the whole wheat pastry flour & wheat germ @ Fred Meyer, Bulk Section. I also added pure almond extract. Yum. & Healthy? How is this happening? I don't know, but I love it.
Because we can't be too healthy! And didn't I mention mom's here? Crackers are Kashi honey sesame so at least not super bad for me. Weekend cheers to you!
Well mom's over for dinner & she's uber impressed with how healthy we are. Tonight we are having chicken salad! Spring salad, arugula, spinach, grilled chicken, red onion, cucumber, shaved parm, TJs champagne dressing topped with slivered almonds. Yum
So I mixed up some of the left over shrimp from last nights shrimp salad, plus some of the Quinoa I made earlier in the week. Tossed in some parsley & parmesan & it's lunch!
