Quinoa Fried Rice By Ashley

This fried rice is so tasty! When I made it for my parents, I thought we were going to have a ton of leftovers but everyone ended up going back for seconds! This recipe is totally guilt-free plus it's very easy to make! 

Ingredients: 

 1 Box/Bag of Quinoa 

Organic Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth 

1 or 2 Chicken Breast (I bought pre-cooked chicken to make my life easier)

1 Bag of Frozen Mixed Veggies 

2 to 3 Eggs 

Garlic Salt 

Pepper 

Organic Tamari (Can be purchased at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods) 

Tamari is more than just "Gluten-Free" Soy Sauce.  It's color and taste is similar to regular soy sauce, but it's made completely from beans, giving it a unique flavor.  It tastes a little less salty in comparison to regular soy sauce and it also has a richer and more balanced flavor.  

What to do: 

Get out 2 decent sized cooking pans. 

Pour the chicken broth into your first pan, over medium heat.  

Add your Quinoa in. 

You can let this pan just kind of sit on it's own, stirring occasionally.  I just followed the instructions on the back of the bag.  I substituted water for chicken broth using the exact same measurements. 

Then, I poured a little bit of olive oil into the bottom of the pan I used for the veggies.

Pour in the veggies. 

Let them get pretty hot. 

Add in your chicken.  If you bought uncooked meat, you will need to cook the chicken before adding it in.  

 I then pushed all the veggies to the edge of the pan, creating a circle in the middle of the pan. 

After that, I cracked and put in my 3 eggs into the middle of the circle. 

 I let the egg start to cook a little bit and then slowly started mixing in the veggies with chicken. 

We do this so that the egg can get a good mix in the fried rice. 

Below is what the egg looks like cooked into the veggies. 

 Once this is done, your Quinoa should be finished. Quinoa gets pretty soft and turns translucent once  finished.  There should be no excess chicken broth. 

 If your Quinoa is done, then you can start pouring in the fried veggies. 

 And here is your finished product! 

This stuff is so tasty you really don't even need Tamari but if you just like to use soy sauce with your fried rice then I definitely recommend using Tamari! 

I hope you enjoyed this recipe! 

Have a great week!

Paleo Pumpkin Bread by Ashley

Paleo Pumpkin Bread

By Ashley 

Last night I was having some major cravings so instead of caving in and cheating I decided to channel in the fall and make some clean and healthy pumpkin bread that is paleo friendly.  Guilt-free food that makes me feel like I'm cheating is always a win in my book! Not to mention, this recipe was so easy that I whipped up another batch so we could have some handy all week long!

 

Prep Time: 5 minutes 

Cook Time: 45 minutes 

 I bought most of my ingredients at Trader Joe's.

Ingredients: 

2 cups of almond flour

3/4 teaspoon of baking soda 

1-3 teaspoons of cinnamon (depending on how much you like cinnamon) 

1 teaspoon of Nutmeg 

1 teaspoon of ground ginger 

1/2 teaspoon of salt 

1/2 cup of organic pumpkin puree 

1/2 cup of agave or raw honey 

2 eggs (could also use egg whites) 

Additional mix in's: 

Cranberries

Raisins  

Walnuts 

Pecans 

 Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350.  

Gather all ingredients and pour into one mixing bowl. 

 Mix everything together until there are no clumps and no dry ingredients 

Spray your 5x9 pan with coconut oil spray. 

Pour ingredients into pan 

Place in oven for at least 40 minutes... depending on how moist you like your bread you could leave it in for another 5 minutes.

The first loaf I made was gone within in minutes! Needless to say, its delicious!

Green Chili Mac & Cheese by Ashley

Green Chili Zucchini 

Mac & Cheese

By Ashley Mora 

Prep Time: 15 minutes total

Serves: 3

Ingredients:

2 medium sized Zucchinis

1/2 cup Low Fat Cream Cheese

1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 cup Low Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Green Chili

Garlic Salt

Pepper

Coconut Oil

(all ingredients were low fat and organic)

Prepping:

1. I washed and cut off the ends of the zucchini

2. I then used a Spirooli Spiral Slicer and made the "noodles"

 3.  After all my "noodles" were made, I placed them in a pan over medium heat with around two-three tablespoons of coconut oil.

4. I immediately added in the low fat cream cheese, mozzarella, and sharp cheddar.

5.  Add in the green chili, garlic salt, and pepper

6.  Mix until cheese in melted

7.  Once melted, your dish is ready to serve

P.S. My mom (who HATES veggies) loved it and even said it was equivalent to Flying Ftar's mac & cheese.  Big Deal! Needless to say, it's a delicious dish that can be used as a guilt free meal when you're craving some comfort food!
