My One Cheat

So I have decided to allow chicken bone broth in my pescetarian diet.  35 calories and 9 grams of protein...plus it is a good source of joint loving gelatin!  I heat it up, add a little lemon juice and drink my cares and hunger away.  I bought this brand but also make it homemade very easily, chicken bones, water and apple cider vinegar in a crockpot on low for about 36 hours.

Cabbage Slaw for Fish Tacos

I got a great head of purple cabbage from my co-op today and it inspired me to make fish tacos!  I had already bought some wild caught hake and orange grape tomatoes from Costco and I had corn tortillas leftover from last weeks black bean and kale enchiladas (recipe to come).  ANYWAY, this slaw is really all you need to go along with a nice piece of fish.  PS-purple cabbage is much healthier than boring old green/white cabbage.

Stir together:
Half a small head of cabbage, chopped
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
3 Tbs lime juice
1 tsp sweetener (any will work)
2 tsp cumin
Salt & pepper
Lots of chopped tomatoes and fresh cilantro

Throw some fish, jack cheese and this slaw in a corn tortilla and prepare to be delighted!

Homemade Muesli & Applesauce

I love homemade granola but last night I decided to make it without sweetener and oil, which I guess would make it sort of like muesli.  I tossed together rolled oats, quinoa flakes, raw coconut, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds and toasted in the oven on a large cookie sheet at 250 degrees for about 45 minutes (stir it every 15 minutes). Then...

...Today I made applesauce in my crockpot with some old apples I had (cored skin on apples, a little water, a little lemon juice, and a little maple syrup on low in a crockpot for about 4 hours). I mixed them together and it is heaven in a bowl. Sort of like apple crisp but uber healthy, YUM!
