Thankful Cocktail

11/26/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Mindfulness is deliberately paying attention, non-judgmentally. Mindfulness promotes balance, choice, wisdom, and acceptance of what is. It is the holidays. Mindfully indulge in a cocktail (or beverage of choice) or two, enjoying every sip and every conversation with friends and family. Try to avoid the sugary mixtures and syrups, instead choosing naturally sweetened beverages. The frozen cranberries and rosemary create deliciousness to both the eyes and tastebuds.
​INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice, no sugar added
1/2 cup pomegranate juice, no sugar added
1 cup sparkling water
9 ounces of vodka (1.5 ounces per serving or 1 shot glass), divided
ice cubes
1 cup frozen cranberries
6 sprigs fresh rosemary
​
PREPARATION
Pour cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, and sparkling water into a small pitcher. Stir well. Fill shaker about halfway with ice. Add 1/2 cup of mixture in a pitcher, plus 1.5 ounces vodka. Shake well. Pour into a martini glass or cocktail glass. Garnish with about a tablespoon of frozen cranberries and a rosemary sprig. Sip the sweet and savory. Makes 6 servings.
Prefer a mocktail? Skip the vodka and spritz with more sparkling water. Just as fancy.

PUMPKIN BANANA BREAD

11/17/2021

Picture
​Continuing with our previous pumpkin theme, this bread is quite the loaf of nutrients (and a twisted update on my original banana bread 🍌). The pumpkin, banana, and applesauce bring plenty of fiber, which helps keep you satisfied for longer, as well as plenty of natural sweetness; no additional sugar needed. This makes a tasty breakfast with some protein on top (like peanut butter), a healthy carb for lunch or dinner, or a tasty addition to the big T-day table.
INGREDIENTS
3 overripe bananas
1 cup puréed pumpkin
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
4 ounces unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips, mini-morsels
Nonstick cooking spray
​
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Peel bananas and place in a medium mixing bowl. Mash well with a fork. Add pumpkin through salt and mix together until a smooth consistency. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes. Bread should be just lightly browned along the edges when done, but go with the toothpick check. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove and slice into 12 pieces.

11/17/2021

0 Comments

 
This recipe is really all about the sauce. This sauce is delicious on top of salmon, yet also works with lean red meat or tofu, plus as a dip for grilled or air-fried veggies (see note below). It has a tasty, addicting zing, you will want to make sure you are generous with each bite.
​

INGREDIENTS
4 6-ounce salmon fillets
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 cloves or 3 Tablespoons garlic, minced, divided
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, plain
3–4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
salt and freshly ground pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
Picture

​PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 clove or 1 tablespoon of garlic to rub all over each fillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place salmon on top and bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until well-done. Remove and keep warm.

While the fish is cooking, place cider vinegar, the other two garlic cloves (or 2 tablespoons), Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a few twist of salt and pepper, in the blender. Whirl for about one minute. Taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with your fresh herb of choice. Serve on top of fish, as well as a side dip for some veggies.

​What veggies? Slice 3 medium zucchinis into thin circles. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, and a few grinds of salt. Mix well, making sure all slices are marinated. Preheat the air-fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Cooking in batches, add a single layer of zucchini. Air fry for about 15 minutes per batch, flipping halfway. Serve with horseradish sauce (and the salmon or protein of choice). Leftover sauce can stay in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.

KRISPY KALE

0 Comments

 
​Tis’ the season and the kale just keeps coming. These curly leaves and our other dark leafy friends (collards, spinach, arugula, chard, etc) are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. Low in calories, high in fiber, vitamins, and phytonutrients, greens are a bountiful addition to any meal, including the holidays.
Picture
INGREDIENTS
1 large bunch kale, washed, remove stems
Nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon truffle oil
1/4–1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Balsamic glaze, drizzle
​
PREPARATION
Place a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add kale and saute for about 8 minutes, or until slightly frizzled. Add truffle oil, red pepper, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir and continue to cook for 1 more minute. Place in a serving bowl. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and red pepper flakes. Makes 4 side dish servings.
