Cooking with LOTS of VEGGIES

I LOVED Genghis Grill so much I had to recreate what I ate there.
I did have leftovers but the kiddos ate most of them...
so I made some for me. It turned out pretty tasty.

Raw: celery,carrots, purple cabbage,broccoli,baby bella mushrooms,
jalapeños and frozen green beans (used what I had)

Sauteed in coconut oil, garlic powder,salt, course malaber pepper,
crushed red pepper, the sauce I made with
Bragg's amino acids & honey

I added some Organic short grain brown rice to the mix
YUMMY!


Now for DINNER The Kids have been wanting PIZZA

Daiya mozzarella cheese, black olives, roma tomatoes, chopped spinach,
baby bella mushrooms, chopped green chili,
turkey pastrami from Keller's for Logan :)

Homemade whole wheat crust & pizza sauce

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
this is a recipe I actually followed. No subbing or omitting :)
Ultimate Pizza Sauce
I used grade B maple syrup instead of sugar,
omitted the Parmesan cheese, I also didn't put butter,onions, celery or fennel.
Again use what you have but I HIGHLY suggest
dried basil and oregano if you don't have any buy some YUMMY!

VOILA!

Cleaning House AGAIN

OUT With The BAD And In With The BETTER

After my post about "Cleaning House" I realized I could do even better.  I have been "storing" junk in our refrigerator because my husband said not to throw it out, It was just taking up room. So he was at work and I threw it out! (Sorry honey it was time, L U). They do sell Ketchup that doesn't have HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) in it!


My family will thank me one day for helping them create healthier eating habits. I hope :)


I will never think of HFCS the same again. When I was at my Chiropractor yesterday I was telling them about the changes I made in how I eat now. He asked me what about Sodas? I said no I didn't drink them. He referred to HFCS as POISON!!!! So I will think of it as POISON from now on! 


This is what I threw out

Keep in mind I am not saying I don't eat sugar, the chicken broth does have evaporated cane juice in it. And some of the milk alternatives have it in it. I prefer to get the unsweetened Almond Milk to anything else. When buying processed foods like Pita Chips, Bread, Soy Milk Rice Milk, Etc. I try to keep the Sugar to 4g or Lower!

This Chicken broth has 1 gram of Sugar per serving. 

I am making these changes and weaning my kids off of sugar. This is a process so don't get discouraged if you want to make changes too, you can do it!

I really want to talk about  the challenges I have been through with getting my family on board but that will have to be another time.
