</div>Anyone else trying to eat anti-inflammatory but love bread? Try sourdough! </div><div>The best anti-inflammatory grain is sourdough bread. Since sourdough is created through fermentation, its vitamins are richer and more easily digested. It's low-glycemic, meaning it won't spike your blood sugar, and it also contains prebiotics that form during the fermenting process.</div><div>Sourdough contains a variety of vitamins and nutrients, making it super beneficial to your day-to-day health. Sourdough bread has small to moderate amounts of: iron, manganese, calcium, B1-B6, B12, folate, zinc, potassium, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, selenium, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin E.</div><div><br></div><div>I must emphasize that this pertains to FRESH sourdough from a bakery, or from your own kitchen, not the kind you get in the store that is riddled with chemicals and ingredients to make them last longer. </div><div><br></div><div>Don't be scared! Find a friend with a sourdough starter and go from there. We make pizza, pretzels, pancakes, crackers, bread, and bagels alllll the time. Super easy and yeast free! 👍 This recipe is not gluten free. </div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div align="left"><p dir="ltr"><b>Makes </b>2 large cookie sheet sized pizzas<br>
</p>
</div><p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<div align="left"><p dir="ltr"><i><b>FOR THE DOUGH:</b></i><br>
</p>
</div><p dir="ltr">375 g water<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">100 g sourdough starter, active and bubbly<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">10 g salt<br></p><p dir="ltr">500 g all-purpose or bread flour</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Mix the dough.</b> Place the starter, salt, and water in a large bowl. Stir to combine. I use my dough hook on my kitchen aid and let it run for 5 minutes. If you don't have one You will need to knead by hand until the dough is smooth. It should form a ball, if not you may need to add more flour. <br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Bulk fermentation: </b>Cover with a towel or <b>bowl cover </b>and set aside to rise at room temperature (70ºF/21ºC) for 4 to 18 hours (the time will vary depending on the time of year, the strength of your starter, and the temperature of your kitchen let the dough rise until it doubles in volume. <br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Portion and shape:</b> Turn the dough out onto a work surface and shape into a rough ball, using as much flour as needed — the dough will be sticky. Using a bench scraper, divide the dough into 2 equal portions (4 if making small personal pizzas. Sprinkle portions with flour. With floured hands, roll each portion into a ball, using the pinkie-edges of your hands to pinch the dough underneath each ball. (Note you can freeze here if want it to save for later use.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lightly oil 2 baking sheets. Stretch and roll out the dough to shape of the pan. Cover and rest for 1 hour. After an hour of rest and rise, return back and reshape the dough again to fit in the pan as shifting and rising should have happened.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Prebake: </b>heat oven to 450<br>
Bake each plain pizza crust for 4-5 minutes.<br>
Now it's ready for toppings.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<div align="left"><p dir="ltr"><b>Top and Bake</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Top with your favorite tomato sauce or Marina, cheese, favorite toppings. </p>
</div><p dir="ltr">Bake: All ovens are different and altitude makes a difference too. I bake mine for 8 minutes at 450 and then turn to broil and watch for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is blistered.</p><p dir="ltr"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I left. Yes I was a 2x Elite 1x Premiere Coach that earned 6 figures. Yes it was hard to leave, but I had to. Let me explain:</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">You see I am getting older, and so is my body. The shake I used to love stopped working and was causing issues in my body. They reformulated and added some preservatives my body could not handle. Then shortages started happening and they could not source everything that they used to. Key ingredients I needed, were no longer in there. I was a literal hot mess with hormones raging, mood swings, hot flashes, sleep issues, lack of sex drive, not a single bit of motivation to socialize. I was a completely different person. I did not like myself and I needed help fast. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I started to feel like imposter syndrome. Because Shakeology wasn't working anymore. I kept begging for more help with menopause, gut health, joint pain, aging, vitamin deficiences etc...NADA. So I searched high and low and loved what I found. BUT... I wasn't allowed to share with you or anyone if I remained a coach. I refused to pretend, and therefore my account was terminated. It was a blessing though... because now I am helping people LIKE ME that NEED help!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The first thing that helped me SO much is a menopause supplement that's part of <a href="https://meology.shaklee.com/?country=US&lang=en_US&sponsorId=XD70ApVq%2FRQd78UYDpZNSw%3D%3D&pwsName=nourish">meology</a>. They customize your regime based on your answers...You take a little health assessment and they can even hook up to your DNA test if you want (you don't have to share that) and they mix a supplement prescription that caters to YOUR body. And it's </span><span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu" style="background-color: white; display: inline-flex; font-size: 15px; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 16px;"><img alt="💯" height="16" referrerpolicy="origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tf1/1/16/1f4af.png" style="border: 0px;" width="16" /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> clean.

In addition to the menopause supplement I changed over my energize to their <a href="https://us.shaklee.com/Nutrition/Targeted-Solutions/Energy/Sustained-Energy-Boost-/p/21406?sponsorId=XD70ApVq%2FRQd78UYDpZNSw%3D%3D&pwsName=nourish">energy boost</a> that gives me SUSTAINED energy, and added <a href="https://us.shaklee.com/Nutrition/Targeted-Solutions/Immunity/Triple-Defense-Boost/p/21388?sponsorId=XD70ApVq%2FRQd78UYDpZNSw%3D%3D&pwsName=nourish">triple defense immunity</a>, I switched my <a href="https://us.shaklee.com/Nutrition/Targeted-Solutions/Aging-Well/Collagen-9%E2%84%A2,-40-servings/p/21407?sponsorId=XD70ApVq%2FRQd78UYDpZNSw%3D%3D&pwsName=nourish">collagen </a>to theirs (it is far superior), I switched my shakes too. Feels so good to finally be ALIGNED and to have the certified organic, non-gmo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free label!
My mood is so much better, and my hot flashes haven't happened in over a month now. My sex drive is back, I have much more energy, and am verbal again. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">If you are feeling like I was, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I really am not one of those people that will try to get you to change what you love. I am simply one of those ex-meat eaters that really never liked meat at all. This works for me. I started by adapting meatless monday years ago, and slowly it became meatless every day because of how great I felt. Perhaps you will always be a carnivore and that is ok. But perhaps you can give up ONE day per week to help save the planet? The blog Counting Animals found that following Meatless Monday for one year would spare an average of 3.5 animals a year per person. Multiply that by the entire U.S. population and it comes out to around 1.4 billion animals spared annually, per the Humane Society's estimates.<br /><br /><b>Check out these other 5 great benefits of Meatless Mondays:</b><br /><br />Reduce Heart Disease and Stroke: Fruits and vegetables help your body fight cardiovascular disease. If you are excluding meat, be sure to still eat a well-balanced meal. Eating no meat on Mondays will encourage you to increase your veggie, fruit, whole grain, and legume intake.<br /><br />Lower Cancer Risk: Red meat or processed meat may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Having a diet rich in vegetables and fruits may lower your risk of cancer.<br /><br />Prevent diabetes: Diets low in processed meat, and high in plant-based foods, may reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes. Adding more greens to your diet can help you maintain a healthy weight through a well-balanced diet, which is a key factor in preventing type 2 Diabetes.<br /><br />Prevent obesity: Because greens are so rich in fiber, those who eat vegetarian diets have a lower risk of obesity. As obesity may lead to other health issues, going green on Mondays may help you maintain a healthy weight.<br /><br />Save Money: Not only is excluding meat on Mondays good for your health, but also for your wallet. Save a few bucks each week by skipping meat on Mondays!</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">If you try it, use hashtag #meatlessmonday and tag me on your social channels sharing what you make!<br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><ul><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6EPhyytL_mo/YH3Jf3x0ToI/AAAAAAAEWgs/BhYZ6PIdfvEeoEdGrrczzcQPlrmBwNzSQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/VeganSausage.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="892" data-original-width="1080" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6EPhyytL_mo/YH3Jf3x0ToI/AAAAAAAEWgs/BhYZ6PIdfvEeoEdGrrczzcQPlrmBwNzSQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/VeganSausage.png" width="320" /></a><li><b>Vegan Italian sausage</b> </li><li>you can sub in ANY recipe that calls for sausage and they won't even know it:</li></ul></div></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />2 tablespoons olive oil<br />1 yellow onion, chopped<br />3 cloves garlic, minced<br />3/4 cup vegetable broth<br />1/4 cup tomato paste<br />1/4 cup white bean paste (can use chickpea, white beans, navy beans etc)<br />1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (the kind in oil), finely chopped<br />2 tablespoons nutritional yeast<br />1 tablespoon dried basil<br />2 teaspoons maple syrup<br />2 teaspoons fennel seeds<br />1 teaspoon dried rosemary<br />3/4 teaspoon salt<br />1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)<br />1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke<br />2 cups vital wheat gluten<br /><br /><br />Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan or skillet over medium heat and when hot add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />In a large bowl whisk together the vegetable broth, tomato paste, and white bean pasted until smooth. Now add the sun-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, dried basil, maple syrup, fennel seeds, dried rosemary, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, liquid smoke, and all of the sautéd onions and garlic along with any oil leftover in the pan, and stir to combine. Lastly, add the vital wheat gluten and combine to make a dough. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Knead the dough to make sure it’s all combined, but once combined, stop kneading. The more you knead the tougher the sausages will get so only do as much as is needed to incorporate the vital wheat gluten.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Cut the dough into 6 equal-sized pieces. Take one of the pieces of dough and place it on a sheet of aluminium foil. Shape the dough into a rough sausage shape, but don’t worry about making it being perfect. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Roll the sausage up loosely in a piece of aluminium foil then twist the ends closed. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough to make 6 sausages. (looking for a better earth friendly way to do this but haven't found it yet message me if you have a solution!).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Add several inches of water to a large pot with a steamer basket and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the sausages to the steamer basket and steam for 40 minutes. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">NOTE: you can use the instapot here if you have steamer attachment and you can reduce time to 15 minutes ) </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">After steaming remove the sausages from the steamer and allow to cool completely in the fridge, overnight is best. The logs will have puffed up in the foil and become tight. Once cooled, remove the foil and they are ready to enjoy as is or you can fry, grill, slice, or enjoy them any way you like.</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">You can freeze to use for later, or store in the fridge if you plant to use this week. </span></div>MomWhatsForDinnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11175076351432520695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678522377938022360.post-72826347388616393512021-04-19T10:34:00.006-07:002021-04-19T10:53:15.066-07:00Extra Crispy Vegan Fried Chicken - easy seitan<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Seitan is a good source of protein and can be a quick and convenient way to help those on a vegan or vegetarian diet meet their protein needs. Protein is essential for everything from building muscle to repairing tissue and producing hormones, so getting enough in your diet is absolutely critical, but I also think in America it is hyper focused and you don't need as much protein as the trainers and media want you to think you do. <br /><br />Seitan is also great for weight-loss Because it’s high in protein but low in calories, seitan can help support satiety to keep you feeling full, which could help promote weight loss. In fact, high-protein diets have been shown to decrease levels of ghrelin, the hormone that’s responsible for stimulating hunger. </span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Seitan is also one of the few meat substitutes without soy. Many people prefer to avoid unfermented soy products like tofu because it can disrupt hormone levels and often comes from genetically modified crops. Tofu is a HARD NO for me, being a cancer survivor and it is one of the most cancer causing foods out there. Good clean tofu is becoming extinct quickly.<br /><br /><b>DISCLAIMER:</b> If you have a wheat allergy, celiac disease or gluten intolerance, seitan is definitely out of the question as it is literally made from wheat gluten. </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>I have tried so many protein replacements and using Seitan is my most favorite. It is so easy to use and you can make anything from Chicken to Sausage and it comes out perfect every time as long as you follow the easy directions. With Seitan, the most important thing is to rehydrate the gluten after mixing. You can't just put right into the fryer or oven. Don't skip that step! </span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I don't miss meat one bit, but I DO love a good fried chicken. So this is my substitute. Works perfect every time.

I know, I know. I have said it a million times. "I will NEVER give up cheese!" and that is true. There are times that the pain and bloat is just worth it, or so I think, so I dive in and pay for it for a few days. I am to the point that I have replaced all my favorite cheese meals with vegan versions so I no longer have to go through the pain and suffering just to partake in a scrumptious cheesy meal. If what I just said resonates and you like Mac and Cheese... Look no further. <br /><br /><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsZUDS9U6hc/YGY0hjgLy7I/AAAAAAAEVsk/kvXz9rkM7BEappPLsVDPzQ25jfBf9bXhQCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/PXL_20210401_203828410.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsZUDS9U6hc/YGY0hjgLy7I/AAAAAAAEVsk/kvXz9rkM7BEappPLsVDPzQ25jfBf9bXhQCPcBGAsYHg/s320/PXL_20210401_203828410.PORTRAIT.jpg" /></a></div>The BEST Vegan Mac and cheese</b></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><b>For the Cheese Sauce:</b><br />1/2 cup <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2021/04/vegan-butter.html">Vegan Butter</a><br />6 Tbsp All Purpose Flour (use gluten free if GF)<br />3 14oz Cans Coconut Milk<br />1 cup Vegetable Stock<br />3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard<br />1 cup Nutritional Yeast<br />3 tsp Onion Powder<br />3 tsp Garlic Powder<br />1 and 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika<br />1 and 1/2 tsp Salt<br />1 and 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper<br /><br /><b>For the Macaroni:</b><br />20 oz Macaroni or 280z Tubetti (use GF if gluten free)<br /><br /><b>For the Breadcrumb Topping:</b><br />1 <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2021/03/vegan-protein-bagels.html">Vegan Protein Bagel</a><br /><br />Add the vegan butter to a pot and let it melt.

So today I am sharing my favorite vegan chocolate chip cookie. If you are wanting a healthier version of these sub out the flour for 1 cup almond flour and 1/2 cup coconut flour instead of the regular flour. It will add a lot of nutrients as well as being naturally gluten free. But sometimes you just want a regular cookie. Still a much healthier version but with allllll the taste and ooey gooey goodness. Note that I use my recipe for <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2021/04/vegan-butter.html">vegan butter</a> in this, but you can sub coconut oil, it will just have a coconut flavor instead of a buttery flavor. You can get the Vegan butter recipe <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2021/04/vegan-butter.html">here</a>. It is super easy to make and done very quickly. Another option is using cashew butter instead. <br /> <br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o_pWxty37yU/YGYrlr8ohpI/AAAAAAAEVrc/1kM9py0fx5AO3kfXcC-zTDkKtbMu9FcogCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/PXL_20210401_201330484.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o_pWxty37yU/YGYrlr8ohpI/AAAAAAAEVrc/1kM9py0fx5AO3kfXcC-zTDkKtbMu9FcogCPcBGAsYHg/s320/PXL_20210401_201330484.PORTRAIT.jpg" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />vegan chocolate chip cookies<br /><br />1/2 cup coconut sugar <br />1/4 cup pure maple syrup<br />1/2 cup <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2021/04/vegan-butter.html">Vegan butter</a><br />1/4 cup + 2 tbsp aquafaba <br />2 tsp pure vanilla extract<br />2 1/4 cup unbleached organic flour (gluten free all purpose mix if GF)<br />1 tsp baking soda<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />1 cup vegan chocolate chips (I use enjoy life brand) <br /><br /><br /><br />In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cane sugar, maple syrup, melted <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2021/04/vegan-butter.html">vegan butter</a>, aquafaba and vanilla until combined.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Sift in the all purpose flour and baking soda and add in the salt.

Please just stop. It is not carbs that makes you gain weight. EAT REAL FOOD in a calorie deficit. That is what you need. If you have food sensitivities, just adjust your recipes, there is a substitute for just about everything. Recently dairy started making me bloat, and caused digestive problems. All that means is that I am not able to eat milk and cheese at the moment. Doesn't mean it's forever, what it really means is I can't have it here in the U.S. where they destroy our food with chemicals which have caused and rapid onset of autoimmune diseases in this country. <div><br /></div><div>SO if you are like me and are self advocating... you probably are making your own food the majority of the time. Bagels from the store are full of crap and if I eat them, I need a nap almost instantly. I don't want that feeling. I want FUEL. So these are my solution.

</div>Hormones...who's got em? <div>My body has recently gone through hell and back with hormone changes thanks to turning 48 and aging is underway! I'm not worried. This is why I self advocate. Our bodies change and we need to make changes too. So I recently had to go off dairy. I love cheese and every so often I'll eat it again but just have to be aware of the consequences. It's not fun and it makes me bloat painfully. So I've been playing with recipes to replace my daily things that contained dairy and this one took the cake. </div><div><br></div><div>It's sooooooo good!!!<br><br>I'll never go back to store bought greek yogurt and I'm definitely sticking to vegan on this one. Try it. Tell me what you think! For me it is like eating ice cream. I add some maple syrup and some granola and it is HEAVEN!!</div><div><br></div><div>VEGAN GREEK YOGURT<br><br>1 cup raw cashews, (soaked in water overnight and drained)<br>2 cans coconut milk<br>1/4 cup tapioca starch<br>3 capsules high quality probiotic<br><br>Instructions<br><br>Combine the drained cashews, coconut milk, and tapioca starch in a blender.

It is SO nutritious. Most get confused when they hear the name and think it has Gluten, so they steer clear. Let me enlighten you!! Buckwheat belongs to a group of foods commonly called pseudocereals. Pseudocereals are seeds that are consumed as cereal grains but don't grow on grasses. Other common pseudocereals include quinoa and amaranth. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is thus gluten-free. Buckwheat is one of the healthiest, nuttiest, most versatile Pseudocereals . It has more protein than rice, wheat, millet or corn and is high in the essential amino acids lysine and arginine, in which major cereal crops are deficient. Its unique amino acid profile gives buckwheat the power to boost the protein value of beans and cereal grains eaten the same day.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Raw buckwheat flour (ground groats) is more absorbent than wheat flour and is used in recipes for pancakes, blini, and pasta such as Japanese soba noodles. Buckwheat flour contains four times as much fiber as whole wheat flour, and is also a very good source of manganese and magnesium. I like to make sweet breads with it. Tis' the season so here is some healthy gingerbread. You can make loaves out of it too if you prefer. I like muffins for easy serving. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I topped with </span><a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2014/09/vegan-sugar-free-whipped-cream.html" style="font-family: arial;">Vegan Sugar-Free Whipped Cream</a><span style="font-family: arial;"> and a dash of cinnamon.</span><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><b> Healthy gingerbread banana muffins </b><br /><br /> 3/4 cup coconut oil<br /> 1 cup Maple syrup or honey or coconut sugar or date paste<br /> 2 eggs</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;">1 tsp vanilla<br /> 3 cups of mashed bananas around 4 large banana's<br />1/2 cup of molasses <br /> 1 cup buckwheat flour</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;">1/2 cup coconut flour</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">1 cup almond flour<br /> 2 1/2 teaspoons ginger<br /> 2 teaspoons cinnamon<br /> 1 teaspoon cloves</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">1/2 teaspoon sea salt<br /> 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg<br /> 1 teaspoon baking powder<br /> 1 teaspoon baking soda<br /><br /><br />Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.<br />Prepare your muffin pan.<br />Beat the coconut oil, vanilla and sweetener of choice until fully incorporated.<br />Beat in the eggs until combined.<br />Mix in the banana and molasses until completely combined.<br />In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.<br />Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until completely mixed in.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Let sit for 15 minutes and then stir again to let the coconut flour absorb. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Fill your muffin pan filling each hole to the top.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Bake for 20--30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.<br />Remove and cool for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pans onto a wire rack and cool completely.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I topped with <a href="http://www.momwhatsfordinnerblog.com/2014/09/vegan-sugar-free-whipped-cream.html">Vegan Sugar-Free Whipped Cream</a>.</span></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div>MomWhatsForDinnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11175076351432520695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678522377938022360.post-63419247668596116032020-12-22T14:03:00.005-08:002020-12-22T14:03:51.348-08:00Vegan Sugar-Free Whipped Cream<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iy4nqd2jP7Y/X-JswDR30ZI/AAAAAAAEMu8/MU-CTGWzld45lg2DcY4M57Yqxe3BO39lACLcBGAsYHQ/s4032/PXL_20201212_183445459.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iy4nqd2jP7Y/X-JswDR30ZI/AAAAAAAEMu8/MU-CTGWzld45lg2DcY4M57Yqxe3BO39lACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/PXL_20201212_183445459.PORTRAIT.jpg" /></a></div>I use this in coffee drinks, desserts, or just as a dip for my fruit.

Today the broccoli we eat is nothing like the broccoli of our ancestors. None of the fruits and vegetables are. It has left our bodies in a state of starvation. We are overfed but malnourished. People are consuming massive amounts of non-food items that are manufactured vs real food that is pulled out of the ground, but even the real food is SO SUB PAR! It is from the soil Erosion, compaction, nutrient imbalance, pollution, acidification, water logging, loss of soil biodiversity and increasing salinity have been affecting soil across the globe, reducing its ability to support plant life and so grow crops. Our soils are deficient which is why everybody and their brother are now popping up with ailments you never heard from before. Quite simply... an auto-immune disease is really just the body eating itself. The body doesn't get what it needs so it starts attacking itself. This can all be prevented with proper nutrition. <div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Vm-Ehl5aNI/X0P47-zG4HI/AAAAAAAD_DA/gALM3iFmOIwQtoKlT1Tw_WyYjHaSqHYGQCLcBGAsYHQ/s337/Broccoli.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="247" data-original-width="337" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Vm-Ehl5aNI/X0P47-zG4HI/AAAAAAAD_DA/gALM3iFmOIwQtoKlT1Tw_WyYjHaSqHYGQCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Broccoli.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />In a <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">2004 study</a> of common garden vegetables there was found to be a significantly reliable decline in nutrients from 1950 to 1999 according to <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">USDA </a>data. Today I am just going to show broccoli. I have attached a chart to show the massive loss in nutrients, for example Broccoli has 2/3 less calcium than it did only 50 years earlier. Meaning you can eat and eat and eat that broccoli and still not reach the nutrition level you need. This is the same for all of our fruits and vegetables. This was one of the things I learned early on in my nutrition education. I had to self advocate and learn how to PREVENT the cancer from coming back. This is what led me to plant enzymes that are harvested BOTANICALLY (where they naturally grow). <br /><br /><br />Raw fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soils already contain the <a href="#" id="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485" name="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485">enzymes </a>needed for us to digest the plants’ proteins and carbohydrates. Fruits and vegetables with the most enzymes when eaten raw include papayas, mangoes, pineapples, apples, avocados, carrots, grapefruit, spinach, and tomatoes. However, most people eat cooked, canned, and prepared foods that destroy the naturally-occurring enzymes that help us with digestion. My daily supplement has over 30 <a href="#" id="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485" name="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485">superfood plant enzymes</a> in it. Meaning the fruit or vegetable or herb is picked when it is fully ready and then immediately the plant enzymes are taken out and freeze dried to maintain purity. It makes its way to my doorstep in a packet and I take it once a day for 5 salads worth of pure plant enzymes. <br /><br /><br />This is how I stay alkaline which keeps me <a href="#" id="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485" name="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485">cancer free</a>.

"the root of disease is inflammation". So when people are getting on you about sugar, or processed foods, it is because it has been proven over and over and over again... they cause inflammation ... and what is the root of all disease? Inflammation!!! So let's focus on what can help that! VEGGIES! Here are my top 6 reasons you need more <a href="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/b/shakeology?referringRepID=874485">veggies </a>(I have a much longer list if you want it), and below are some tips and tricks I use to get in more veggies! </span><span style="font-family: arial;">When you know better you do better!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Top 6 benefits of getting in your veggies:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;"> Decreases inflammation - Green leafy vegetables contain powerful antioxidants, flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamin C—all of which help protect against cellular damage. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Improves gut health - Foods high in fiber, especially certain types of fiber and resistant starches called prebiotics, play a major role in keeping our gut bacteria in balance. Many vegetables are an excellent source of prebiotics. Eating healthy plant foods<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12820"> </a>can alter your gut bacteria for the better in a matter of a few days!</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">.Aids in weight management because they are</span></li></ol><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">-Low in calories and carbs. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">-High in fiber and water so they keep you feeling full longer.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">-Take up a lot of room in your stomach to keep you feeling full.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">-The fiber contains prebiotics and feed the “good” bacteria in the gut.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: arial;"> 4. Decreases risk of type 2 diabetes - the more plant foods you eat, the lower your risk of type 2 diabetes. This is due to the antioxidant action which reduces insulin resistance and/or inflammation as well as they contain fiber, vitamins, & minerals. <br /><br />5. Decreases risk of heart disease and stroke -Vegetables contain a wide variety of plant compounds that play an important role in heart health, including decreased cholesterol, improved blood vessel functioning, lowered blood pressure and decreased inflammation. <br /><br /><br />6. Lowers blood pressure - this benefit comes from from fiber, vitamins and minerals such as potassium and magnesium that are in the veggies. The potassium is especially important as it balances out the negative effect of salt, which helps to lower blood pressure.</span><br /></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">So ... you don't like veggies... what to do now? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I got you boo. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CnepqIbd5KU/XzG1DtvtK8I/AAAAAAAD7aU/fAAGU0Otc-UF_-uCJg5qvZ8FskzFtub9ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/116873684_3181042912017602_7869076574761170210_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1646" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CnepqIbd5KU/XzG1DtvtK8I/AAAAAAAD7aU/fAAGU0Otc-UF_-uCJg5qvZ8FskzFtub9ACLcBGAsYHQ/w263-h328/116873684_3181042912017602_7869076574761170210_n.jpg" width="263" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">My top 2 go-to's are right here. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">A quick fix I use to get in a full serving of veggies is <a href="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/d/shakeology-boost-power-greens-SHKGreensBoost?referringRepID=874485">Power Greens</a> </span></div><div><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Power Greens </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">contains </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">veggies</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> like cucumber, kale, and spinach to deliver <a href="https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/d/shakeology-boost-power-greens-SHKGreensBoost?referringRepID=874485">a full serving of vegetables</a> in each scoop.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I am a huge Apple Cider Vinegar fan because of its antimicrobial and antioxidant effects as well as the other health benefits, such as aiding weight loss, reducing cholesterol, lowering blood sugar levels, and improving the symptoms of diabetes.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">For a long time I would take a shot of apple cider vinegar straight daily mostly for my gut health ...but I wasn't fond of the effects on my tooth enamel,and I dreaded it cuz I h</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">ated the taste.

Meaning quick things you can make from things that you have in your pantry (non-perishables). At the time of this post, these items are available and in-stock on Amazon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So if you are like me and you HAVE to have ice cream during shark week. Or maybe you just have to have ice cream because you love it, then this is for you...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Ingredient Healthier Chocolate Ice Cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You will need 3 ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 cup Cashews</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 can Coconut Milk (canned full fat)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1/2 bag chocolate chips </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">note: I double this recipe </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you like rich dark chocolate ice cream, use dark chocolate chips, If you like sweeter milk chocolate, use milk chocolate chips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Soak the cashews in lots of water overnight. Drain before use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stove with the coconut milk, then put in the fridge until it is cool. Next blend cashews with the coconut milk and chocolate mixture. Blend well in a blender. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next you can either churn in an ice cream maker, or just pour into a bread pan, cover and put in the freezer. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving so it is scoop-able. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also if you are looking for support, a community, and a way to not feel alone during this time. Please <a href="mailto:momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com">email me</a>. I have a FREE support group. No strings, just support, encouragement and motivation regarding a healthy lifestyle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a happy girl! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Misfits Market has made its way to Florida!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you heard of it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Believe it or not farmers all over the place have to throw away tons of good produce because it's not PERFECTLY shaped. SO misfits teamed up with the best <a href="http://www.misfitsmarket.com/">Organic </a>farmers in the states and said hey we will buy the produce that isn't perfect, because it tastes the same! Then they ship it out to people like me. People who eat <a href="http://www.misfitsmarket.com/">organic produce</a> and want to save money. People who are smart and know that the food tastes the same, even if it isn't a perfect circle, or whatever shape people think they "should" be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My opinion? I am about to chop the shit out of this box, so who cares what it looks like? Besides, I have to say all of it looked pretty damn delicious if you ask me. I mean check this loot out! All for $35!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I am a Buddha bowl addict. SO simple and the only thing I change up really is what veggies are in season and what protein I want to add and then... what dressing? Dressing really is what sets each bowl apart the most, and this dressing is my favorite. It is so simple to blend together and is packed with nutrients. Ginger is u</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">seful in improving digestion and increasing absorption of food. Ginger also </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">contains anti-inflammatory properties that make it an ideal home remedy for muscle and joint problems. </span><div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Carrots are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants and much much more. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus, it makes your bowl BANG with color! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So eat up!!!</span><div>

Bend until completely smooth. Taste, and add additional salt if the dressing doesn’t make your eyes light up. If it’s too sour (it should have some zing to it), blend in a bit more honey.<br /><br />Lasts in fridge in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.</span></div>

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c5bHeKqU2eM/Xg-pwPLljHI/AAAAAAADeP4/W_IsB90Zq4QnU6aVkjWVjqNQcFsRZLm1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_20200102_195550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1494" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c5bHeKqU2eM/Xg-pwPLljHI/AAAAAAADeP4/W_IsB90Zq4QnU6aVkjWVjqNQcFsRZLm1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20200102_195550.jpg" width="298" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Truth - Before I got Cancer I rarely ate vegetables. Any Person who gets Cancer and takes the battle seriously knows how many veggies they need daily. Our blood needs to stay alkaline and that takes plant power! Turns out I liked veggies all along, I just don't like canned veggies or over-cooked veggies which was all I had really been exposed to. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After Cancer and all the education in nutrition... I am a veggie lover. In fact, my veggies take up over 75% of my plate now, and I am always FULL after a meal, because veggies KEEP you full, and you can really have an unlimited amount of them. So people who are dieting, are doing it WRONG. EAT MORE, just eat more plants and cut out PROCESSED food. For the love of GOD, please stop taking out your carbs. YOU NEED CARBS. Carbs are NOT the devil... processed carbs are. People who tell me they gave up carbs just get an eye roll because they are showing me how little they know about what the body uses to burn fuel and what the BRAIN uses to function. Healthy carbs can be found in things like chickpeas, beans, legumes, whole grains like quinoa, jasmine, brown, or basmati rice. You NEED those in your daily diet or you will have problems down the line.<br /></span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So back to my hate turned to love for veggies. One of my staples is Buddha Bowls. They really changed everything for me. When I go out to eat I look for places that serve them because they are PACKED with nutrients and I can never finish the whole thing even though it is very low in calories. The thing I love about Buddha bowls is that you can put whatever you want in them. You just need a bunch of your favorite raw veggies and roasted veggies. You really can't go wrong! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For these bowls I used 1/2 cup each of: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cooked Jasmine Rice</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raw Shredded Red Cabbage</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raw Shredded Kale</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bean Sprouts</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raw Shredded Carrots</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roasted Cauliflower</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roasted Broccoli</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raw Sliced Red Onion ( I only used 1/4 cup of this)</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can sub out anything you want here for something you like better. Possibilities are endless:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jicama</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cucumber</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spinach</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beets</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Romaine</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brown Rice</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quinoa</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">etc.... you get the idea. No processed anything, and the grain needs to be a whole grain. Otherwise you would have seen rice noodles in this pad thai, but the goal here is no processed food ....period.</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took me 20 minutes to prep for my buddha bowls for the next 3 days for 4 people. Grate the veggies and store them in the fridge at the beginning of the week and it makes for super fast meals you can throw together. Just add your protein of choice. Tonight I chose free range organic Chicken with Thai flavors. Pad Thai Buddha bowl it is... In addition to the veggies I listed above...here is how I did it:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />1 1/2 tablespoons red chile paste<br />1 tablespoon pure maple syrup<br />1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice <br />1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks <br />Sea salt to taste</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /> FOR THE SPICY PEANUT SAUCE <br />3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter <br />2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice <br />1 tablespoon soy sauce ( I recommend Braggs amino acid or coconut aminos)<br />1 TBSP pure maple syrup<br />2 teaspoons red chile paste</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 TBSP water<br /><br /> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DIRECTIONS:<br /> <br />Preheat oven to 400 degrees.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3LgKHcB5Gf0/Xg-skNjO6SI/AAAAAAADeQc/T6FBIxlRuSw_L-BgKuX35uHVXuO7XsZDgCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20200102_195547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1427" data-original-width="1600" height="285" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3LgKHcB5Gf0/Xg-skNjO6SI/AAAAAAADeQc/T6FBIxlRuSw_L-BgKuX35uHVXuO7XsZDgCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20200102_195547.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />In a small bowl, whisk together chile paste, maple syrup and lime juice; set aside. This is your marinade.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slice your chicken breast into bite size pieces or cubes. ( I prefer thai cut- diagonal on the bias)<br />In a large baking dish add chicken breast and the marinade and place in the oven for 12 minutes (larger pieces of chicken will require more time). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While chicken is in the oven, make the spicy peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, chile paste and 2-3 tablespoons water in a small bowl; set aside. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Divide into bowls your raw and cooked veggies and grain. I do 1/2 cup of each ingredient. Top cooked chicken and then add the spicy peanut sauce on top and serve! </span></div>
<div>
