Beef Kebabs with Greek Salad

August 16, 2012 by Chandra Filed Under: Blog, Recipes

This is by far one of our favorite recipes and meals!  We used the sirloin we bought recently at the local farmers market – super tasty.  We also added 1/2 a peach to add some additional fruit and flavor.  All I can say is yummers…and I am so satisfied.

My husband would say that the only thing to make it better would be some olives and feta cheese.  Feel free to modify to your taste buds, but not too much!

This recipe was adapted from Rachael Ray Magazine, June 2012 issue.

Mmmm Bok Choy

July 31, 2012 by Chandra Filed Under: Blog, Recipes

20283921_sBok choy, also known as Chinese cabbage or Pak-choi is one of our new favorite veggies.   Bok choy has been a part of Chinese culture for over 6000 years and falls under the dark leafy green veggie category in the US Diet. There are over twenty different varieties of bok choy, but the two most common are baby bok choy and traditional bok choy.  Here is the skinny on the health benefits of bok choy:

  • Low in calories – 1 cup is a meager 20 calories.
  • Low sodium – 1 cup is only 58 mg.
  • Low in saturated fats & cholesterol.  An excellent source of water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin-C (ascorbic acid). 1 cup provides 75% of your daily requirements of vitamin C. Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.
  • Has more Vitamin-A (carotenes) and other flavonoid anti-oxidants than cabbage or cauliflower.  1 cup provides 7223 IUs of Vitamin-A or about 144% of RDA levels.
  • Good source of Vitamin K, 1 cup provides 57.8 mcg or about 72% of RDA levels. Vitamin-K promotes healthy bones by keeping calcium in the bones. Therefore, enough vitamin K in the diet makes your bone stronger, healthier and delay osteoporosis.  Vitamin-K has also shown to limit neuronal damage in the brain of Alzheimer patients.
  • Fresh bok choy has many B-complex vitamins which are essential because your body requires them from external sources to replenish.
  • Good source of fiber, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, and potassium.
  • Low Glycemic – rates 1 on the glycemic index.

Yummy to the Tummy, Clean Apple Sauce

July 30, 2012 by Chandra Filed Under: Recipes

Seriously the easiest apple sauce that is yummy to the tummy!  Printable recipe card below, but it’s so simple you probably don’t even need it.  Take 4 small apples, peel, core and chop.  Put in a small pot and boil for about 10 minutes.  Add some cinnamon and mash to your desired consistency.  We like it a little chunky.  This is awesome and so easy.  It makes four 1/2 C servings.
