What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

What is the marinade? I'm always looking for ways to cook chicken?

For 1-pound boneless/skinless chicken thighs:

1/4 cup coconut aminos
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (~1 tablespoon)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coconut oil

cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and add to marinade, refrigerate 2-8 hours. Cook in coconut oil ~3-4 minutes per side to get nice and brown.

There is a sauce recipe that goes with this, but I've not made it yet. I am making a double batch of this tomorrow so I can freeze some

Did I mention this is just YUMMY???

B: stir fried red pepper, spinach, 3 slices low salt ham, an orange, coffee
L: curried tuna in a tomato, blueberries/strawberries

Today:

Brekkie: usual eggs scrambled with greens, a little pastured bacon, fermented veggies, coffee
75 minute tough group workout - our coach didn't disappoint
L: last of the "porktastic meatloaf" and made little sandwiches out of it with romaine lettuce leaves.
S: kefir mixed with protein powder
D: Homemade West African Chicken Stew over coconut-cauliflower "rice" and Casablanca carrots. Flavors were absolutely decadent and a fabulous New Years dinner. This is the first time I've made any of those recipes and they were all winners. If I had any wine I would have had some, but didn't.

I've had trouble making the "rice" with cauliflower. I've tried both a grater and the food processor. Any hints?
B: quick version of huevos rancheros. 2 fried/steamed eggs on a small amount of black beans, sprinkle of low fat jack cheese, all on a corn tortilla. Topped with 1/4 avocado, cilantro, salsa verde. side of strawberries, coffee
S: green tea
L: small endive stuffed with low fat chive cream cheese, chopped walnuts, red pepper. an orange
40 minute very brisk walk, including the big hill
S: half cup plain non fat Greek yogurt with blueberries and chia seeds
D: 5 Czech meatballs, cauliflower mashed potatoes, 2 slices of fresh pineapple, one square dark chocolate
