Sometimes the more tired you feel the less productive you are and then the worse you feel. I'm giving our fridge and our plates a little DETOX and you're going to love what I have in store for you!
I started with a Soy Free Pineapple Kale Smoothie recipe.

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Place mushrooms in a large bowl, set aside.
Add chicken, garlic and ginger to skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes or until chicken is brown, breaking the meat up as it cooks. Combine the chicken mixture with the bowl of mushrooms; add green onions and water chestnuts; toss together. Combine sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, lower-sodium soy sauce, honey and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl; whisk to mix well. Divide chicken mixture evenly between each lettuce leaf and top with sesame oil mixture. Optional: Garnish with fun, bright extras, like the red peppers and scallions seen above.

ReplyDeleteHi Mary, Sounds like a great recipe, I definitely agree with not using Canola oil - I wouldn't touch the stuff even it it is organic. Have a wonderful healthy day!
