Ingredients

    • 1 fresh pineapple, skin removed and cut into rounds with the core removed
    • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs (or breasts)
    For the marinade:
    • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1/4 cup tomato paste
    • 4-6 pitted dates, soaked for 10-15 minutes in warm water to soften then drained
    • 2 tsp garlic powder
    • 2 tsp chili powder
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    For serving and topping:
    • White or cauli rice (Cauli rice for Whole30)
    • Mixed greens
    • Chopped green onions (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Soak dates in warm water as noted to soften. 
  2. To make the marinade, place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and run continuously to combine all the ingredients until smooth. Stop to scrape sides down as needed and restart.
  3. Place chicken in a shallow bowl or dish and pour the marinade over. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  4. When you are about ready to grill, cut pineapple into rounds as noted. Cut out the tough inner core from the rounds and set aside.
  5. Heat your grill to high heat (about 500° F). Add the chicken and pineapple to grill and cook, flipping once and basting chicken with any remaining marinade until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side depending on the size of the chicken. Remove pineapple when it is grilled to your liking (we grilled it just 3-4 minutes per side). 
  6. Serve chicken and pineapple with your desired side, over rice or over greens (or greens and rice). Enjoy.

Recipes Cookbook - Vanilla Buckwheat Protein Pancakes





Vanilla Buckwheat Protein Pancakes |#Fudgeswirledoreobottomcheesecake #Groundmeatrecipes #cookies #Recipeswithhamburgermeat #Cookingrecipes #Dessertrecipes #Cookingrecipes #Breakfastrecipes #Crockpotchicken #Healthybreakfast #Dinnerrecipes #Pancakeshealthy






Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp buckwheat flour
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder *
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon - OPTIONAL
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk - carton, not canned. You can substitute in your preferred milk!
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • extra olive oil, butter or coconut oil for frying
  • Toppings
  • fresh fruit
  • maple syrup or honey
  • yoghurt
  • nut butter or tahini






Instructions

  1. Place buckwheat flour, protein powder, coconut flour and baking powder (and cinnamon, if using) in a mixing bowl and lightly whisk them together.
  2. Add the egg and 75mL coconut milk to the same mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they start to form a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk.
  3. As you're whisking, add in the teaspoon of olive oil and continue to mix. You should end up with a thick, shiny batter, about the texture of a thick custard.
  4. Heat a small nonstick pan up to a low heat on the stove. Add a teaspoon of olive oil (or another cooking fat). Scoop in about three heaped tablespoons of the batter, gently smoothing it out a little to form a pancake shape.
  5. Cook for approximately 1 and 1/2 - 2 minutes, or until just a few bubbles poke through the surface, then flip and cook for another minute. (You want to flip them as soon as you are able to, to avoid burning).
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter; you should make 3-4 pancakes. Add a little extra oil to the pan as needed as you cook. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice (you can also refrigerate or freeze the pancakes and heat them up again later).

Recipes Cookbook - Mozzarella Bruschetta Chicken

Mozzarella Bruschetta Chicken |#Brownricerecipes #Whitericerecipes #Cookingrecipes #Lowcarbrecipes #Chickendishes #Healthyrecipes #Easychickenrecipes #Familydinnerideas #Basilrecipes #Simpledinnerrecipes #Healthydinnerrecipes #Pastadinnerrecipes

Ingredients

  • 4oz mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 4 chicken breasts or cutlets (see notes)
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • homemade seasoned salt and pepper
  • For the bruschetta topping:
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 medium-sized garlic clove, pressed or finely minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups diced tomato (see notes)
  • 3 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Add balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan then turn heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn heat down to medium then simmer and reduce until you can see the bottom of the pot for a second or two after scraping a spatula across it (see photo in post), about 20 minutes. Vinegar will continue to thicken as it cools, FYI. Set aside to cool - can be done a day ahead of time.
  2. Meanwhile, add ingredients for bruschetta topping in a medium-sized bowl then stir to combine and set aside. Can be done a day ahead of time.
  3. Place an oven rack directly underneath the broiler then preheat to high.
  4. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat then spray with nonstick spray. Season chicken on both sides with homemade seasoned salt and pepper then add to the skillet and saute until golden brown on the bottom, 2-4 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken cutlets/breasts. Turn heat down to medium then flip chicken and saute until nearly cooked through, 4-6 additional minutes, flipping chicken again if necessary. Sometimes I place a lid on top of the skillet if it feels like the chicken is browning too quickly on the outside but still raw on the outside.
  5. Spoon 2-3 Tablespoons bruschetta topping on top of each piece of chicken followed by 1/4 of the cheese. Transfer skillet under the broiler then broil until cheese is melted. Scoop chicken onto plates then drizzle with balsamic reduction. Serve extra bruschetta topping on the side.

Recipes Cookbook - Baked Apple Cider Donuts

Baked Apple Cider Donuts | #Pumpkinrecipes #Appleciderdoughnutrecipe #Donutholesrecipe #Churrodonutrecipe #Homemadedonutsrecipebaked #Chocolatebakeddonutrecipes #Appleciderdonutsrecipebaked #Bakedappleciderdonutsrecipe #Bakeddoughnutrecipes #Appleciderdoughnutrecipe #Applecidercupcakeswithbrownsugar #Applecinnamondonutrecipe
 

Ingredients

  • Donuts
  • 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups apple cider (reduced to 3/4 cup)
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • Topping
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Before you begin, you will need to reduce the apple cider. Pour apple cider in a small saucepan a simmer on low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the cider reduces down to 3/4 cup. Once it is reduced, set it aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and sugars together until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla and stir until completely combined. Pour in the buttermilk and apple cider and mix until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Do not over mix or donuts will be tough.
  5. Pour the batter into a ziploc bag and snip off one corner. This makes it much easier to pour into the donut wells. Pour batter into prepared pan about 3/4 to the top of each well. Bake for 14-15 minutes or until the tops are firm and spring back slightly when you touch them. Do not over bake or you will have dry donuts.
  6. When done, remove donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes then remove them carefully and place on a wire rack to cool until they are warm to the touch so you are able to handle them. While they are cooling, get your butter + cinnamon sugar topping ready.
  7. In a small bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Set aside.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  9. Once donuts are cool enough to be handled, dip the tops into the melted butter and then quickly into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat for the entire batch of donuts.
  10. These Apple Cider Donuts are best served fresh the same day, but will stay soft for up to 2 days stored in an airtight container. If they get a bit firm, you can reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them up and they are good as new.
