Since I have to cook for the hubby and kids, I'm having to get creative to ensure I can make something I can eat, as well as they. Tonight, I made something I'm calling Coconut Curry Chicken.
1 tblsp canola oil (or olive or peanut -- depends on what you like)
1 onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 cup butternut squash (optional -- I had this one hand from another meal, and added a sweetness to it)
2 minced garlic
1 lb chicken tenders or thighs
1 can coconut milk
2 cups chicken broth
2 tsp curry powder (may need more, depending on tastes)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground chilis or red pepper
Using the oil on med high heat, I sauteed the onion, bell pepper, garlic. Then add chicken and brown. Add coconut milk, broth, curry, salt and pepper. Once it begins to boil, turn to simmer, cover and cook for about an hour. If not enough sauce, add more broth.

I ate a piece of the chicken, a little of the sauce and had cottage cheese on the side. The sauce mixes well with the cottage cheese and gives a great flavor. The kids turn their noses up at cottage cheese, so they get to have rice with theirs.

Cooking this for an hour really tenderizes the chicken, and I can eat it on my soft diet -- just remember to chew well.

Brussels Sprouts - Better Tasting than French Fries! ( I swear, I am telling the truth!)

This is my favorite recipe for brussels sprouts. It isn't a sleeve recipe, but was one of my favorites for years. I made them tonight & ate probably more than I should, and my stomach feels fine. Easy, fairly quick, so delicious this is one I could binge on if it weren't for my stomach.

I love brussel sprouts and this sounds delish, I will try it for sure.

Just be cool with only eating a moderate portion the first time you try it. My son ate quite a few ( a compliment to the recipe that he thought they were good - he is not a huge brussels sprouts fan) but I know I ate too many. I did have some indigestion 6 hours afterward, nothing terrible but not quite the no problem experience I thought at first. It snuck up on me.

I tried this tonight..DELICIOUS!

1- 10 oz box frozen spinach, thawed and drained
16 oz cottage cheese
6 oz shredded cheddar
4 or 5 sliced medium to large mushrooms
3 eggs
2 tbs butter (I'm thinking this could be omitted)

Mix together, place in a glass casserole dish or deep pie plate sprayed with PAM and bake at 375 for an hour.

I don't have the nutritional info, but I'm sure it's high in protein and pretty low carb. Not to mention...yummy as hec

I developed this recipe from one I found in "The 150 Healthiest 15-Minute Recipes on Earth". The carb count is pretty low around 20g per serving but packs a whole lot of flavor into a pretty simple dish. Plan on this dish taking at least 30 minutes from the time you open the pantry door to plating.

I made this the other night and it was so good I barely got any of it because my son ate most of it!

[Lolo2]

Mmmm going to try this, do u think it could use some onion and garlic?

[65fl]

This is one of my favorite dishes to make for lunch when I have no leftovers. I never make it the same way twice, but this is the base recipe and is pretty darn good as is. Modifications are so easy to this dish; got some green or red pepper, slice it thin and saute with the onions. Got some cilantro you need to get rid of, change the herb package to a Mexican profile and add some zest to your life (add the cilantro just before serving). Got some mozzarella cheese ready to expire, drop the thyme and add in basil and top with the cheese for an Italian flare.
