STRAWBERRY SQUARES
🍓
🍓🍓Wine or dessert? This time, choose dessert. A strawberry take on the original lemon bars, lightened up with with less butter, some healthy fat, and of course vitamin C, manganese, folate, potassium and antioxidants from the strawberries. It is like a strawberry mousse on top of a shortbread cookie :).

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 large eggs + 1 large egg white
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 350˚.
Place strawberries in a blender or food processor and purée. Set aside in a medium bowl. Add whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, pine nuts and salt to the blender or food processor and 2–3 times to combine. Add the butter and canola oil and pulse another 4–5 times or until mixture is crumbly. Spray 8 x 8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add mixture from blender and press evenly to create a bottom layer in the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325˚.

CREAMY BASIL CHICKEN

7/21/2021

​🌱🐓🌱Not everyone desires fruit in every dish, so this dish does not contain fruit, but of course I strongly encourage some fruit on the side (ie. the Hawaiian Tropical Fruit Salad😊). This garlicky, creamy dish is a healthy take on an Alfredo sauce, without any of the fat, but even more flavor from lots of garlic and fresh basil.

INGREDIENTS
1 Tablespoon olive oil
3–4 garlic cloves, crushed
freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound chicken breast, sliced lengthwise
1–2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
1 cup + 1 Tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped
​

PREPARATION
Place a large iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat one minute. Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add wine and continue to sauté for 2–3 minutes, or until wine evaporates.
Generously pepper and sprinkle salt on both sides of chicken and add to skillet. Sauté chicken for 4–5 minutes and flip. Sauté for another 4–5 minutes. Cover pan with foil for 2–3 minutes to make sure chicken is cooked through.
While chicken is cooking, combine flour and milk in a small saucepan, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Place over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until think and bubbly. Add chopped basil and blend into sauce.
Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with one tablespoon fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper. Serves 4. Suggest serving over whole wheat pasta with a fresh fruit or vegetable salad.
