Ever run out of ideas on what to cook?? Well I certainly have.
Here's an entire days worth of healthy meals and maybe something new.
All of the following recipes are health boosting and great for summer!!
All ingredients listed are organic.
Enjoy!
Breakfast
Breakfast Cookies
This recipe is highly nutritious and easy to take on the go. My toddler grandsons love these.
3 mashed ripe bananas
3-4 drops liquid Stevia
1/3 C unsweetened applesauce
1/4 C almond or Coconut milk (possible a little bit more)
1 Tbls vanilla
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups oats
1/4 C craisins
1/4 C fresh blueberries
3/4 C walnuts (very small pieces)
Combine all together and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour
Bake at 350* on non stick foil lined baking sheet for about 20 minutes. Yields around 24 cookies.
*** Helpful hints and substitutions.
You can:
*Substitute 1 egg for the applesauce
*Use whole milk for the nut milk and also you may need to add additional milk 1 Tbs at a time if the mixture is too dry
*Substitute any nut for the walnuts or they can be left out.
Allow to cool on a rack and they will be a bit crispy. Place slightly warm cookies in an airtight container and they will be moist and chewy.
Lunch
This literally melts in your mouth and is so refreshing.
Summer Salad
2 peaches sliced
8-10 cherry tomatoes cut in half
roast 1 cob of fresh corn, allow to cool and cut off the kernels
1 cup of shredded spinach
a few springs of fresh basil chopped
a hand full of walnuts or seeds/nuts of your choice
sea salt and pepper to taste
Dress this salad with a balsamic vinaigrette of your choice. A Pear or Raspberry vinaigrette would be perfect.
Serve this salad with garlic and butter Ezekiel bread toast or kale chips.
Dinner
This sounds like a winter recipe but it doesn't have to be!!
Golden Tumeric Soup with Grilled Shrimp
Golden Soup
In a large pan like a dutch oven or large soup pot add the following:
2-3 Tbls of Avocado oil
1/2 purple onion chopped
2-3 garlic cloves chopped
1 head of cauliflower chopped
1 cup cashew nuts that have been soaked in chicken or veggie broth for at least an hour. (or see substitution below)
Sea salt and pepper to taste.
saute all of the above until tender.
Add:
1 Tbls Tumeric
1 tsp Smoked Paprika and stir.
Add about 4 cups bone broth and simmer in the pot until everything is soft. Transfer the mixture to your blender or an emulsion blender works well. Blend until creamy. I would do this in batches so that it blends easier. Return all of this to the dutch oven and add more bone broth to your desired thickness. A squeeze of lemon at the end of the warming process will brighten this dish.
Grilled Shrimp:
Grill about 6-7 shrimp per person. You could also saute the shrimp. I suggest the medium to large shelled and deveined shrimp.
Season with smoked paprika, garlic, sea salt and pepper. Cook until pink.
Fill a bowl with the soup and top with 6-7 pieces of shrimp.
Substitutes and helpful hints:
*Substitute nutritional yeast for the cashews. It is highly nutritious and serves as a thickener. It is used to make Vegan cheese sauce so it will work well instead of cashews.
*You can substitute seasoned, roasted garbanzo beans, sauteed or fried tofu or croutons for the shrimp.
This soup is healing with the Tumeric and all the veggies! It is comforting yet light. Serve with a tossed salad or garlic/butter Ezekiel bread.
