Ingredients

1 large head cabbage
2 green bell peppers, diced fine
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream

Procedures

Chop cabbage in food processor or by hand into 1/8 to 1/4 inch square pieces. Place chopped cabbage into mixing bowl with diced green pepper. Add sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt, mixing into the cabbage evenly with a wooden spoon or your hands. Let mixture rest at room temp for 20 minutes.

Add dry mustard and vinegar, mix again and let rest another 15 minutes. Add yellow mustard, mayo, sour cream and combine. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.

I have not tried this yet, but as soon as my kitchen is a little more complete I’ll be trying this slaw…

4 tbs butter
2 tbs honey
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In an ovenproof pot, heat butter and honey over medium heat until melted. Sprinkle pork tenderloin with Cajun seasoning and black pepper. Brown each side for 5 minutes in the honey butter. Lower heat if honey begins to burn.

Place pot in oven and roast uncovered for 15 – 20 minutes*. Remove pot from oven and transfer the pork to a plate. Cover with foil. Add water to the pot and stir over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until sauce is reduced slightly. Slice pork on the diagonal and drizzle sauce over top to serve.

Please do not argue, if you like it cooked more then cook it longer.  I like mine pink in the middle…

*NOTE: May need to cook longer depending on the size and thickness of the pork tenderloin.

Ingredients:
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced about 1/2-inch thick
2 large red or green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 ounces orange juice
2 cups Mandarin orange segments or fresh orange segments
2 Green onions, chopped

Directions:
Put carrots, peppers, garlic, then the chicken, ginger, salt, pepper & frozen orange juice in Crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW 4 to 6 hours. Serve chicken on hot cooked rice.  Top with orange segments and green onions. Serve chicken liquid in gravy boat, if desired.

My Notes:  You can thicken the liquid with Cannolini bean flour (recipe found on this site), if desired. This will not add many carbohydrates and thicken the gravy nicely…   Serve with Brown Rice or Quinoa. Also you can use crushed or cut-up crystallized ginger instead of ground ginger, for more flavor..

And it’s Healthy…So much better than fried!!!

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup Greek yogurt -plain (Mayonnaise or sour cream may work also)
1 tsp garlic powder or cut up some garlic to taste..
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Spread mixture over chicken breasts, bake at 375 degrees for 45 mins–

From a facebook post with my own edits…

They look like a fluffy English Muffin…
Makes    6–8 depending on size.

3 eggs
100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese
a pinch of salt
½ teaspoon baking powder (can be excluded)
1/2 tablespoon of psyllium seed husks (optional)
Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.

Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you choose, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).

Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.

Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.

3 mashed bananas (ripe)
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 cups oats
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Mix ingredients and add more oats if too moist.. try other dried fruits if you wish… I wonder what they would taste like with dried mango..  and I’m sure they would be great with craisins with or without the raisins.. How about dates??????

Drop on a cookie sheet and flatten slightly.. Adjust the baking time for your oven…

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes
