dinner and a sunset!


"Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!"
- Julia Child


Chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms! I typed into a google search and this is what popped out - straight from the New York Times!


Broccoli Stir-Fry with Chicken and Mushrooms on Jasmine Rice!

makes 4 servings

2 T. olive oil
2 T. minced garlic
1 T. minced fresh ginger
1 small onion, chopped
1 pound broccoli, cut into small bite-size pieces
8 oz. chopped mushrooms
1 cup coconut milk - Trader Joe's is the one I use!
8 oz. boneless chicken breasts, cut into small bit-size pieces
2 T. coconut aminos - a wonderful alternative to soy sauce!
freshly ground salt and pepper

Put half the oil in a large non-stick pan and add onions and a little salt and pepper!  Saute' awhile, turn down heat and add half the garlic and ginger!  Stir for a few seconds!  Next add broccoli and mushrooms and a little salt and pepper - cook for 3 minutes, then add coconut milk!  Simmer a couple of minutes!  Pour this mixture into a dish and set aside!  Wipe out pan, add the remainder of the olive oil, garlic, and ginger - cook a few seconds on low heat, then add chicken!  Turn up heat and cook  chicken till the pink is gone!  Pour broccoli, onion, mushroom mixture back into pan with chicken!  Add coconut aminos and let simmer a couple of minutes!  Serve on a bed of rice!  Ahhhhhhhhh!

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty, satisfying, and of course - good for you!  Bon Appetit!


Ride into the sunset!

  2. Hey there Kristi! The problem with soy sauce is soy - usually it is genetically modified and not good for us, along with most corn and wheat. Coconut aminos IS good for us. It is an anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and an anti-bacterial, I think. It is usually recommended in paleo and gluten-free recipes. Soy sauce can give me a headache, so I use coconut aminos instead. You could use another green veggie instead of broccoli. Thanks for reading my blog! Are you still blogging?
