Hello and thank you for ordering another week of TWSF treats from me! We had a great time in the kitchen today and look forward to you getting a chance to dig into what we cooked up for you!
This week's "food for thought":
I am really excited about this week's soup. This recipe was a little "heavier" than my usual as my pesto added some depth to the broth, but sometimes when you go deep, it just tastes so good! I recommend this one for dinner on a cooler evening this week. Jam-packed with all sorts of vegetables (and chickpeas for some protein pop!), you really get a lot of bang out of this one.
For this week's fried rice, I recommend heating on the stovetop with a little sesame oil (or avo if you don't have) and really letting the rice get crispy. This could be a great breakfast dish too! In a rush? This one is great cold too.
For the chicken tenders and cabbage, I suggest re-heating on a higher heat in the oven. The chicken is quite flavorful on its own so maybe save that meth mustard with another dish, either as a condiment or salad dressing.
Weekly Fun Food Fact:
Did you know that cold cabbage leaves can be used to relieve clogged milk ducts and engorged breasts, while nursing?
Babe Ruth allegedly used to wear a cabbage leaf under his hat during baseball games and would change it out for a new leaf halfway through.
Cabbage is high in fiber and iron which assist in keeping the digestive tract in a healthy condition.
Drinking cabbage juice can help cure stomach and intestinal ulcers.
Try this:
Use shredded, unsweetened coconut, hemp seeds, and almond flour (plus whatever seasonings) and make coconut, hemp shrimp or flounder in the oven!
Want to stretch salad dressing a little? Add some water and blend. You could use this week's meth mustard, add a dash of water and make it enough dressing for an additional person or two.
Want to to get the most from your bush? Add a little lemon juice to your kale or spinach salad. Pairing Vitamin C with high-iron veggies will help you absorb the nutrients more efficiently.
Enjoy your week, everyone! I thrive on good communication, so never hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback you may have
