What you need/what I used:
-1/2 butternut squash, peeled, quartered, seeded, and cut into slices or big cubes
-asparagus (how ever much your heart desires) cut into pieces
-1 red bell pepper
-2 tsp. olive oil
-sea salt, pepper, basil, and dried oregano
-2 pork tenderloins
-1 orange, halved
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet toss together squash, asparagus, and bell pepper. Spray with organic olive oil pam (a generous coating) and season with sea salt, pepper, and basil. Roast 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, season pork generously with sea salt and pepper; sprinkle (I like to pronounce it sprankle) with oregano. In a large skillet, heat 2 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Cook pork until golden brown on both sides (about 8-10 minutes). Nestle pork among vegetables on sheet; roast until vegetables are tender and pork is cooked through (about 15-20minuets).
3. DON'T SKIP THIS PART! Remove pan from oven, cut the orange in half and squeeze half the orange over the pork and veggies. Let cool a bit and serve.
4. ENJOY :)
Tom Ka Gai aka Coconut Ginger Chicken Soup.
Time – 20-30 mins
Ingredients
1 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken (cut into strips)
1 “A Taste of Thai” Coconut Ginger Soup Base (I use this brand found at HEB as it is easier than tracking down Thai ingredients like Galangal and Fish Sauce – it’s got a trace amount of Sugar but no gluten or preservatives.)
1 can Coconut Milk (not the Lite kind please)
14.5 Chicken Broth (make sure you don’t get one loaded with preservatives or ingredients you can’t pronounce)
1 Lime
1 Carrot
1/4 Cauliflower
A couple of sprigs of Cilantro
In a pan, combine the Soup Base and Coconut milk over high heat, bringing it to boil. Add chicken, cauliflower, carrots, stir and bring to boil. I toss in the carrots and cauliflower to get my daily dose of vegetables. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked. Add the Chicken broth, stir and return to boil. Add the lime based on the level of sourness you would like. Remove from heat, garnish with Cilantro and voila – a quick easy and filling meal.
