Love this idea, mostly because fresh herbs are crazy expensive and I never use them all up before they go bad: chop up your herbs and stick them into an ice cube tray, then cover with olive oil and freeze.

Toss a cube or two into your pan whenever you’re in need, and presto: fresh herbs, all winter long.

Genius.

yourhealthista:

I call this “On the Verge” broth. You make it when you’re on the verge of being sick and it (I’d like to believe) helps stave off whatever illness is trying to creep on you.

Just combine a cup or two of chicken broth, a big spoonful of curry paste (spicy is best if you can handle it!), and about half a cup of coconut milk. Get it nice and hot. Add stuff like veggies or protein if you’re feeling ambitious, but when you’re on the verge of being sick, you’ll probably just want to eat it as is. Spicy, creamy, and delish… for those times when grandma’s not around to make you chicken soup!

I’ve been wanting to make homemade granola bars for a long time. It’s nice to know exactly what’s in your food, especially with something that you eat for energy and a healthy snack.

I’ve been intimidated up to this point by the large amount of ingredients people put in them. I just wanted a basic granola bar: simple to make and inexpensive.

If you want to make them…

What you’ll need:

1 1/2 cups of rolled oats

1 cup chopped almonds (or other nuts)

1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

What you’ll need to do:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients. Spread into a well-greased pan. Bake for 10-20 minutes, depending on your crunch preference (the longer it cooks, the crunchier it gets). Let the granola cool before you cut it, or it will fall apart.

Making tomorrow. I have everything but the almonds, so I’ll stop by the store and pick those up.

Broccoli and Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients

2 ounces of pre-cooked shredded chicken

½ cup of steamed broccoli, chopped up

1/3 cup of part skim shredded mozzarella cheese

1 whole grain tortilla

2 tbsp plain, no fat Greek yogurt

1 tsp red pepper sauce

Directions

Combine Greek yogurt with hot sauce and set aside.

Heat chicken and broccoli in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once heated through remove from the pan and place in a medium bowl.

Toss chicken and broccoli with salt, pepper and garlic powder and then set aside.

Place tortilla in the hot pan and allow to heat through on one side. Flip the tortilla and sprinkle half of the cheese over one half of the tortilla. Top cheese with broccoli and chicken and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top.

Using a spatula fold the tortilla over on to itself (into a half moon) and top with something heavy (ie. A weighted pan or my personal favorite, a teakettle). Allow to cook for a minute or two OR until the bottom lightly browed. Flip the tortilla and cook for another minute or two on the opposite side.

Remove Quesadilla from the pan and allow to cool for a minute or so before cutting into wedges. Top with spicy yogurt and Enjoy!!

I have for a long time felt that the third construct is what makes sense to human existence, and I constantly feel frustration by being forced to live in the first construct.
