Lunchtime...

It was getting close to lunch and my kids and I were hungry!

I opened up my fridge to see what I could quickly come up with....

And it was good!

It's all about leftovers and creativity.

See recipes below...

Green Curry Basil Ono

I opened up my fridge to see what I had and I always says as long has you have veggies in the fridge and a plethora of spices and herbs the possibilities are endless!

I made up this dish for lunch quite quickly and it was so good!

I chopped up some garlic and onions.

I already had sliced green peppers in the fridge.

Added some S&P, Turmeric, dash of Cayenne

Sauteed/Steamed them.

Boiled my Shiratake Noodles (yam noodle).

Tossed in my leftover Ono (fish).

Added some green curry paste & Chicken Stock.

Added my noodles &

Fresh Thai Basil & Spearmint Leaves.

Let it simmer.

Drizzle Coconut Aminos over. 

(fermented coconut/soy sauce alt.)

Pork & Pineapple Pizza

 My favorite TV show is Food Network. 

I've gotten so many good ideas, tips, help, & encouragement.

We've never had a TV with cable, but I'm sure grateful that while

we live here at my in-laws condo we have it!

This meal was inspired by a FN Show Sandra's Money Saving Meals.

 She made a pork roast & was using it for all kinds 

of dishes and one of them was pizza....

The kids were hungry and I though HEY! I have a big leftover bowl of  Kula Pork in the fridge

from a church even I went to that our Hawaiian Relief Society Pres. made. I also had a frozen cheese pizza in the fridge, and a Maui Fresh Pineapple was also sitting in the fridge ready to use!

With my little sous chef we spread the pork all over.

Chopped up some onions & pineapple.

 Baked it in 10min.

 Added some fresh cilantro.

And "Cucumber Chips"

Sprinkled w/ S&P love!

(Salt & Pepper)

 

Ohhh, it looked good and they happily enjoyed it!

Beef & Bean Burritos

This recipe is from The Pioneer Woman.

My favorite Food Network Show at the moment.

Beef & Bean Burritos.

My little sous chef loved helping!

Strawberry Chia Jam

This jam is so incredibly easy!!!

No Sugar & Pectin-free

Use fresh or thawed frozen fruit.

Add some Chia Seeds.

Opt. sweetener...

Raw Honey, Maple Syrup, Stevia, etc.

Put it all in a blender and then right in the fridge,

so the chia seeds will gel and thicken it up.

Recipe here. I used way less raw honey.

It's great and the kids like it!

 

Simple Blueberry Jam recipe here.

Deviled Eggs

This is a snack I enjoy.

I mix the yolk with a creamy mac dip and then topped with nutmeg, pepper, and a tiny bit of cayenne pepper. With steamed peas.

Yum!

The creamy mac dip...I substituted macadamia nuts for the cashews.

 Good stuff!

(I don't like all the stuff in mayo, even if its organic. 'Say no to gmo's' lol.)

Lunch Box To Go...

My lunch box to go from Health Choice Bar....green salad, papaya/ginger dressing, w/ no bean hummus and cucumber chips. I added my own grilled chicken to the mix.

"Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding"

This actually is really good "pudding." Recipe found at Paleo Omg here. 

I just added about a teaspoon of raw honey. It calls for a tablespoon.

It seems that it would be great with maple syrup too.

I have to stay low glycemic, so I go easy on the natural sugars too.

Her's just looks more appetizing. :)

"Portobello Burger" & Kale Chips

This raw/vegan burger is from Maui Kombucha...a place I've discovered on the island...
a place where I didn't know food like this existed...a place where all the food is awesomely good!

 The "burger" is made out of walnuts, portobello mushrooms, zucchini, olive oil, coconut aminos, garlic, herbs & spices, nutritional yeast, S&P, and lemon.

The "Cheeze & Pesto Aioli" Sauces were so tasty!

Throw on yummy toppings and wrap it in collard greens :)

I threw in some kale chips and whala...so so good!

Sorry no recipe, but I'm definitely going to experiment and come up with my own.

Chicken "Zoodle" Soup w/ Watercress

My weekly soup for the week made from my own homemade bone broth.

Veggies include...garlic, onions, carrots, celery, butternut squash, zucchini (the zoodles), and Watercress leaves and stems.
