1. Spaghetti and meat sauce--Sauce-2 cans of tomato sauce, 1 chopped green bell pepper, 2 chopped cloves of garlic, 1 chopped onion, 2 T. oregano, 2 T. basil, 1 t. parsley, 1 1/2 t. sea salt. Put everything in a pot and let it simmer for around 30 minutes. Pasta--1 package of brown rice spaghetti ( you can find this at most whole foods or international markets and also at www.vitacost.com). Salt the water with sea salt to taste slightly salty. Follow directions on the pasta package for preparation. Meat for the sauce--fry us some hamburger, ground chuck, or turkey sausage. Once finished, add to the simmering sauce. That's it...add a mixed greens salad and you're set!
2. Chinese chicken and veggies with ginger. In a wok, toss in some diced green bell pepper, one chopped onion, 1 tablespoon diced ginger, 1 c. chopped cabbage along with hot sesame oil. Add in two shredded carrots, 1 c. of frozen broccoli, and 1 c. frozen cauliflower. Add in some hot chili powder for heat if desired. You may need to add more sesame oil along the way. When veggies are almost the correct consistency, add 1 cup of chopped cooked chicken. Serve with brown rice.
3. Fried fish dinner--Using tilapia or flounder fillets, coat in rice flour and fry in grapeseed oil. Fry until crisp. Salt with sea salt. For a side dish, grab some slaw mix and add a dressing of yogurt, vinegar, and a touch of stevia.
4. Chicken stroganoff--1 pound chopped cooked chicken, 1 chopped onion, 1 minced glove garlic, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 t. sea salt, 1/4 t. pepper, 1/2 t. thyme, 1 T. chopped fresh parsley, 2 T. olive oil. Heat the oil and add the chopped onion, garlic, and herbs along with salt. Cook until the onion is transparent; add the chopped chicken, and the chicken broth. Simmer until the broth is reduced. Add the chopped parsley and serve on brown rice (can use minute brown rice to speed up the meal). Recipe from The Fungus Link by Doug Kaufmann.
5. Curried shrimp--Heat 4 T. of olive oil. Saute 4 chopped cloves of garlic, 1 chopped onion in the oil until the onion is translucent. Add 1/2 of tomato puree, 2 t. minced fresh ginger, 1/2 t. cumin, 2 T. coriander, and 1/2 t. tumeric--simmer for 5-7 minutes. While the fist items are simmering, thaw a package of raw shrimp (be sure to use raw so it's not rubbery when cooked) under hot water. Peel and de-vein as needed. Add to the sauteed mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through. Give a squirt of lime juice to the finished product.
