Cinnamon Honey Flatbread

This is my very own creation so play with it!

 

Ingredients:

• Honey (locally grown is very important!)
• Organic raw sugar crystals or brown sugar
• Ground cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• 1 cup 100% Whole wheat flour
• Water
• EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Begin by mixing 1 cup of whole wheat flour with about 1/4 cup of water to start off. Add 1 tbsp of EVOO. Mix those ingredients well. This is actually the recipe for unleavened bread. Feel the consistency with your hands. Mix more water if it's too dry or a little more flour if it's to moist.

Then, add 1 cup of raw crystal sugar. Blend evenly. Get that rolling pin out and start rolling. Make sure to put flour below the mix so it doesn't stick to the cutting board or whatever you're using. Once you've finished rolling the dough thinly, add the cinnamon, nutmeg and honey. Add as much or as little as you want. This is your chance to be creative! Bake for 20 minutes. You may leave it in longer if you want it crispier like a pita. It's up to you.

 

Cool it down a bit then serve and enjoy! This is a delicious and healthy dessert for the family :)

My Homemade Soup.

I've been asked repeatedly to post my recipe for my vegetable soup. To backtrack for a quick second: I hate soup. I know it sounds terrible, but it's true. It wasn't until I tasted this soup and tweaked it to spices and ingredients I loved, that I began to like soup.

So here it is:

Ingredients:
- 1 box of veggie stock (I prefer Swanson's but Progresso was on sale)
- 1 box of organic chicken stock
- 2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 bahl of garlic
- 1 red onion
- 1 beet
- 2 shallots
- 2 carrots
- 1 lemon or lemon juice
-1 small bag of shitake mushrooms
- sea salt or himalayan salt
- pepper
- Bragg's Liquid Aminos
- 5 stalks of celery (I didn't have any this time around so I added broccoli)
- 2 cups of broccoli (I used everything you see in the picture)
- 1 cube of Goya seasoning (spanish cube of seasoning)
- Lean organic chicken (optional)

Step 1: Melt the oils and stalk

Step 2: Saute all veggies with seasoning cube
Step 3: Season chicken with salt and pepper and saute separate or with veggies
Step 4: Let all ingredients boil, then put in broth; let simmer for 30 minutes on med/high
Step 5: Add whole lemon or lemon juice, salt, pepper and liquid aminos
Step 6: Enjoy!

All Natural Chicken Stir-Fry

Recipe of the month: All Natural Chicken Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

• Thai Noodles (rice and water are the only two ingredients)
• Teryaki sauce (make sure it has NO High Fructose Corn Syrup) 
• Organic Veggies (carrots, green beans, broccoli, peas, green onion)
• Organic lean chicken tenders or breast
• 4-5 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 red onion (or any onion, red is my favorite)
• 1/2 red pepper (you can add green and yellow as well)
• Black pepper
• EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)   

Begin by boiling water and cooking noodles. While that boils, cut or shred chicken into small pieces (size is your preference). Place it into stir-fry pan with a little bit of EVOO on Medium to begin cooking and slowly pour some teryaki sauce on chicken as it cooks. 

 

Meanwhile, start dicing garlic, onion and red pepper. After chicken has cooked thoroughly, begin tossing in the vegetables, garlic, onion, red pepper and stir with bamboo spoon. Once noodles have cooked, drain, then add to stir-fry. Continue stirring and add black pepper. 

 

Serve and enjoy! Try eating with chop sticks to make it more interesting :)
