Ginger Steak #48

Ginger Steak & Edamame Beans
Comfort Food:
Whole grain rice, flank steak,edamame (soybeans) and a little fire added to round out this yummy dish.
When I plan my evening dinners I always , always spice things up a notch.
Why?
Because the heat of spices are very good for your body.
How?
It breaks down our cholesterol,and buildups in our arteries.
It also adds flavor and we use less salt because it is not needed.
When you do you own meal planning look at what you have for (Hot) Spices in your cupboards.
Experiment with a couple of them, on a smaller scale at first so to not burn anyone out of trying their first bite.
After a few meals with some heat added to their palate, they will not even notice the heat but will notice the additional flavor it brings out in each meal and also adds to as well.

Some spices to try:
  • Cayenne
  • Cumin
  • Ancho
  • Pepperika
  • Red Pepper
Let me know how this has helped your Cravings, and how you feel after you have changed your spices in your meals.
I can be reached @elizabethjj555@gmail.com for any additional questions or your suggestions.

The Greek's Chicken

March 30, 2011

Alexander's Greek Chicken!


Alexander's Greek Chicken 
I named this chicken dish after my father,
Alexander Harry Ianos.
Or as he liked to call himself
"Alexander the Great "

He was very proud of his heritage, and often told people he had ancestral roots to the great Kings of Greece.
Well I know we had Spartan blood in our veins, because if you disagreed with him
there was definitely sparks, swords, and tempers all over the place!
Yes he was a male Diva in the kitchen but his food ...

Sugars #48

Spaghetti Bolognese #47

March 22, 2011

Spaghetti Bolognese

Spaghetti Bolognese
This is one of Divadish's all time favorite comfort foods!
It is rich, full of tender meats, and it is definitely one to Lust for!
The sauce is thicker , because it has tomato chunks in it and chopped onions.
The combination's of simmered meats, and a special mix of seasonings, and letting it slow cook for over 8+ hours gives this dish it's rich but delicate taste.
For this particular  recipe I used Flank steak & 93% ground chuck.
I browned th...

Organic # 46

Organic or not Organic that is the real question these days?

How do you decide?
What exactly is organic?
Will it be hard to eat this way?
What will I be able to eat?
Will the family eat it?

These are all good questions and let's answer them.
  • Eating naturally takes patience, and relearning> It is about making better healthier choices, skipping the fast foods, and convenience foods, and making time to make something and somethings from scratch!
  • Whole grains, no additives...

Preservatives the War on our Bodies!

March 18, 2011

Preservatives # 45

It is all in the packaging that makes consumers buy.
This is very True!
The colors, logos, name regonition, placement on shelves.
I sometimes think we as consumers have been Brain-Washed so much by commercials that we don't even think anymore.

Pretty -Scary-Stuff, we all need to Wake-Up- and Smell the Coffee people!
If you break down the advertising, read the lables on the products, really read them, you will see that the manufactures of these so called nutritiou...

Baking Bread #44

Baking Bread #44

The fresh aroma of bread baking is something almost no one can resist!
Bakery's still count on it, and on those days weather permitting, will open up their doors to let the smells hit the streets, enticing customers to come in and buy!

Of course @ Divadish test kitchens we cannot do that, but I can attach a picture to make you drool over.

I sell these loafs for $6.00 each. Each rolled by hand, made with Love, Care, and deliciouness all rolled inside each and eve...
