Chicken Lettuce Wraps

May 23, 2014 / Skinny Fat Kids

Well we started out wanting to make chicken lettuce wraps from a recipe we saw in my new book I got for xmas from a good friend, "true food" written by Andrew Weil, MD which I highly recommend. The book is seasonal, sustainable and really simple. When looking in the freezer I realized I still had a present from a good friend in Mexico.. I had been waiting for a good group of people to indulge in this special treat with me.

Paleo "Peanut" Almond Butter Dipping Sauce

March 03, 2014 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

Instead of peanuts, I used almond butter for nutritional purposes. Smooth and tasty, sweet and slightly spicy, it makes an incredibly delicious sauce for spring rolls, salad dressings, chicken satay, lettuce wraps, on sands, in wraps, or just a dip for vegetables.

Baked Eggs in Ramekin

February 24, 2014 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

I love me some huevos. Egg for breakfast or dinner; hardboiled, fried, poached, on a pizza, sando, burger, salad and I could go on. A huge plus about eggs is that they are a great clean source of protein that is great to incorporate into your healthy lifestyle! I have always been into eggs for breaky and now that I learned about baked eggs, (thanks to Megs), these are my new go to. They are very easy, you can put anything in them, and they are especially for groups, brunches, etc. Their presentation is clean and very presentable.

Chia Strawberry Jam

February 21, 2014 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

Chia inventions were the theme of yesterday. I was getting wild with those nutritionally dense little seeds! If you want to learn more about them click HERE. What makes chia seeds perfect for this raw jam is their ability to absorb almost 10 times their weight in water and create a kind of gel-like consistency (it’s also what makes them a great substitute for eggs in lots of recipes!). This recipe is awesome because it is hard to make jam without using a thickening agent. Thank god chia forms a gelatinous gel!

Kale Pesto

February 17, 2014 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

Kale should be a staple in your fridge at all times, it is a nutritional powerhouse that you want to include in your diet as much as possible. I know you might be getting bored with the original kale salad, or kale smoothies so I decided to make something up for lunch today. I also love sauces in general so it worked out perfect. Kale has a high concentration of Vitamins K, A and C, is full of antioxidants and is one of the healthiest vegetables around. Also, buying pesto in the stores (good quality ones) are very overpriced. Plus most of them have a lot of over processed ingredients, start making your own and you will be able to come up with a bunch of amazing variations.

Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash

February 13, 2014 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

Is it too late for squash recipes? I know winter is over, but they are still technically in season! Plus they are delicious and most importantly HEALTHY! You can easily make this a vegetarian dish by taking out the chicken. There is definitely potential for more ways to eat acorn squash as well. Stuffing it with lots of good stuff is my favorite. You can also make soup with it, put it on a salad, serve it as a side dish like I did HERE or eat it with maple syrup and cinnamon as a dessert.

Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo)

December 23, 2013 / Skinny Fat Kids

These are cookies are amazing and always a hit. They are Paleo, and yes pale cookies can taste good. I promise these guys are chewy and melt in your mouth! I love them because when you have a sweet tooth (which in my family is pretty much every night), you can whip these puppies up in 8 minutes! They are super simple, healthy and you can add anything you want to spice them up!

Prosciutto with Baked Stuffed Figs

December 18, 2013 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

My cousin just got a Mario Batali's book and wanted to make this recipe. I had to of course change some things to make it healthier… Next time I would wrap each fig with the prosciutto so its gets nice and crispy, it will also make it easier to eat! Figs are more then just a FIG NEWTON! Sure you have heard of figs. You can get dried figs all year round, but try to only eat fresh figs that we are so lucky to have in abundance. Fig trees are everywhere in California and come in green, purple, brown, and red.

Figs are full of fiber which you probably knew from the crunchiness in the seeds that fill them. They also have a high amount of potassium which helps with blood pressure. Figs are a great dessert alternative because of their natural sweetness. I like to put them on top of Greek Yogurt for breaky or just alone as a snack with some nuts.

Pops Lentil Soup

October 22, 2013 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

I made this recipe with my 89 year old Italian Grandpa we call pops as some of you know. He is a perfect example of how significant an influence our genetics have on us... He also proves most doctors, nutritionist, and people in my field WRONG. Smoking 2 packs of non-filtered Camel cigarettes a day for over 50 years, eating 2-3 eggs a day, not exercising, consuming large quantities of alcohol, and eating most food that comes out of a package, bread, pasta, and cured meats... an Italian should ;) This legend reads a book a day and has not lost any of his memory and continues to expand his intelligence as each day presents itself. I am not saying that any of the above things he does are something any of you should do, but damn I hope he passed me down some of these genes to live to be old, wise and "healthy".

Aquachile

September 27, 2013 / Skinny Fat Kids

I know it has been some time since I have shared any recipes, or anything for that matter. But the blogging has started up again and I am back and with a new format and a LOT of yummy things to share with you! Don't forget there will also be lots of nutrition and wellness tips as well! This summer is definitely one I will never forget. I am positive that this is not the end to my love for adventure and travel, it has just begun (sorry Mama). Finding a balance between your state of wellbeing and at the same time an exciting and fulfilling life is what I am striving for.

Sweet Potato Quiche

September 27, 2013 / Skinny Fat Kids / Source

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! Let's start this weekend out right with a healthy and simple meal! My sister just asked this question, "What's the difference between a frittata and a quiche?"

Basically, a frittata is Italian and quiche is French. A quiche often has a pastry base, whereas a frittata does not. They both can be filled with cheese, vegetables, meat, seafood and/or herbs. Similar to a quesadilla (one of my favorite foods), they can be eaten warm or cold, with a salad, or simply with a spicy salsa fresca!
