Having some guests coming over to dinner and you are at a lost of what to prepare? Or you are thinking of something simple and healthy for dinner? Roasting a whole chicken for dinner is actually quite easy and simple. It is healthy and takes up very little time to prepare too. You only need to season the chicken for several hours and then pop it into the oven and let the oven do the roasting.
Cod fish is often steamed, deep fried, broiled and baked but it is very seldom that we hear of it being stir-fried. Well, since I prefer stir-frying most of my food, I thought I’d try using this healthy and easy method to prepare cod fish. Fortunately, it turned out quite good!
It is rather easy and though many would have the concern of spoiling the fish or overcooking it, I felt that if we cook it in just the right length of time, it turns out quite okay. Absolutely delicious if I may say so.
I have been using Quinoa as a protein substitute in quite a lot of my recipes and sometimes, it is also quite interesting to combine it with other protein, like chicken. While there are recipes of Quinoa salad and plain Quinoa, I thought, heck, it can be cooked the Asian style too. So, why only cook it the western style?
So, here’s an Asian style Quinoa recipe that is healthy, low in fat and darn delicious too.
If you’ve read some of my other How To Cook Quinoa posts, I am sure you probably think that I have this sorta obsession with the super grain Quinoa. Well, I did come up with several ways to cook it simply because it’s a health food that’s pack full of nutrients and vitamins. Best of all it is high in protein too. Very seldom we get to find high in protein grains that is so versatile that you can actually cook it any ole way you like!
I used to make a lot of salsa, then bottle them up and keep in the freezer. I’d use them for my salads, sandwiches or even to eat with rice. It has been awhile since I made salsa. Since, I do not want to freeze them this time, I thought of changing the recipe a bit and made a sorta chicken and quinoa salsa stew. Originally, I wanted it to be vegetarian, to leave out the chicken but then, I changed my mind and added the chicken for the two meat-eaters at home.
The first time I heard of Quinoa is when I read about it over at Gera’s SweetsFoods blog and then when I did my fat burning food series, I found out how versatile it is and best of all, it is one of the super healthy foods you simply must have in your diet! Quinoa (pronounced as keenwah) is gluten-free and it is high in protein and best of all, it is also a fat burning food and a heart healthy food.
I have been reading too many of Jessie’s (The Hungry Mouse) meaty posts and finally, I gave in and tried one of her pork ribs recipe.
Except that I didn’t follow the recipe.
Again.
I just borrowed her recipe and substituted some of the stuff…okay, okay, so I practically added a whole lot of different ingredients except for the pork ribs…so, it is definitely different from her recipe. But still, I do owe it to her as I got the idea for this recipe from her Aleppo Chili Pork Ribs with Peach and Lime Recipe.
