Cauliflower to Rice

 1 head cauliflower- washed

1 TBSP Sesame oil or coconut oil (you can use olive oil)

Sea Salt

Pepper

White Onion

Garlic- minced (1-2 cloves)

Using a cheese grater or food processor with grater, grate cauliflower. (If using a good processor cut in chunks first)

In large pan or wok add oil and let heat up

Add garlic and onions and cook until onions are translucent

Add grated cauliflower, season with sea salt and pepper. cook covered until softened. 

You can add any seasoning you like. I added an egg, broccoli and green onions with a little low sodium tsarmari. 

It's amazing how the texture is just like rice. My family didn't even know they were eating cauliflower. 😂

Eat Clean: Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

I cannot take any credit for this recipe. I've been making for quite awhile now when I'm in a pinch- like today 😳

I got the idea from a young lady who I used to follow on Facebook. For the life of me, I cannot remember her name. When I do, I will mention her in this blog for proper credit 😇
 Ingredients🍎🍆🍒

Frozen chicken breasts

Jar of organic salsa

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours.

This is great in corn tortilla's, in salad with fresh avocado or in a baked sweet potato. Delish! 😜

 

Eat Clean: Apples and Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats

 

Simple. Clean. Yummy!

I like to make this on my food prep day. I will separate into individual  serving sizes so its grab and go! It makes the house smell so yummy!

1 C Steel Cut Oats

3 C unsweetened vanilla coconut or almond milk

1/4 C powdered stevia

3 organic gala or Fuji apples

I like to use the slow cooker bags for easy clean up. Be sure to spray slow cooker or bag with organic cooking spray.

Place all ingredients in coated slow cooker and stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. 

Turn your slow cooker on high to cook 4 hours. Be sure to stir often.

If you like a little sweeter, you can add a smidge of raw organic honey right before consuming. Top with walnuts. Enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Buffalo chicken tenders are a big hit in my household. You can ad these to your salads, shred and put in corn tortilla's, or just have them with a side of greens. 
 
Ingredients:
organic chicken tenders or chicken breasts cut into strips
1 Cup of Frank's Buffalo Sauce
1/4 Cup coconut oil (softened)
sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Mix Frank's and coconut oil together. Season organic chicken with sea salt and ground pepper and then dip in your Frank's and coconut oil. Place on a cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper for easy clean up) and place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through.

Planning our Thanksgiving Dinner- The Clean Way

We are going to have a house full this year for Thanksgiving and I'm really looking forward to it. The way I see it, I have 2 options here.

1. I can ditch all of my hard work and eat like the rest of the people in this land that I love and wrestle the guilt & put in extra gym time after Thanksgiving day.

or

2. I can incorporate my healthy eating habits into the Thanksgiving meal that I prepare. And hopefully encourage my loved ones to live and cook healthier :)

I think you know which option I've chosen. If it were option 1, I wouldn't be writing this blog :)

So, here is the menu for the Jameson household Thanksgiving day- twenty ten:

• Pumpkin Hummus with Pita bread
  

• Oven Roasted Turkey with Rosemary(of course)

• Cranberry Sauce

• Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Butternut Squash & Chestnuts

• Mashed sweet potatoes

for the mashed potato lovers- cauliflower garlic mashed potatoes

and for dessert, CLEAN Pumpkin Pie :)

All of these recipe's can be found in the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook & Cook Yourself Thin.

I hope this has inspired you to cook healthy for your families this year. Cheers!
