Healthy tips!

When doing seafood or fish.... skip the béarnaise sauce which is very fattening and
use some fresh or dry herbs like rosemary thyme oregano parsley salt and pepper olive oil to grill the fish or seafood....deglaze with lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar. When you"ll taste it : you"ll keep it!


Salad can be super healthy and help you with your diet....but it also can be an enemy. Why ? Dressing. Try to cut some slack on the dressing or to get it on the side at the restaurant. When doing homemade dressing use olive oil.... try to go easy on the sugar or syrup you put in... cut half of it with some lemon juice for a fresh taste and less calories! Plus the vitamin C content of the lemon juice helps in increasing the immunity power of the body, which can ensure your health and fitness.

Vegetarian Chili Con "Carne"

Hey so there it is! A very healthy and easy way to make chili without the fat and the cruelty in the use of real meat hahaha!

3 garlic cloves chopped
1 onion diced
salt \ pepper
1/2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp cumin powder
1/2 tbsp chipotle powder
2 tbsp honey
1 habanero diced
1 jalapeno diced
1 cup of vegetable stock
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 tbsp of sriracha (any hot sauce but please no tabasco : it ruiiiins the taste)
1 package of mexican fakemeat (Yves product found in the vegetable section of any supermarket!)
1 can of mixed beans rinced

First start with a bit of olive oil in the pan to slightly brown your onions and garlic. Add your spices to it and enjoy the smell! Then after a few minutes (but dont wait too long you dont want anything to burn) add you hot peppers and the rest of your ingredients. Turn down the heat and let simmer for at least 30 minutes... You want it to reduce a bit or a lot...depending on how you like your chili!
Serve on salad or with tostitos chips or pita bread! Whatever you like! Enjoyyy

KUNG POOOOOOOOOOW TOFU!!

We just had this nice meal for lunch today. Found something similar on a new "App" for our Ipod Touch....


3/4 package of firm tofu
1/2 cup of water
1/3 of soy sauce
2 tbps of rice vinegar
1 tbps of honey
2 teaspoons of pepper flakes ( more or less depending on how spicy you want it )
2 garlic cloves chopped
half onion chopped
1 tbsp of cornstarch
2 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds
2 carotts
2 celery branches
2 big mushrooms diced

Cut tofu into bite size and make it fry in the pan with a little bit of vegetable oil until golden. Add the chopped garlic and onion to it. In a bowl mix together the water,soy sauce,honey,cornstarch,rice vinegar,pepper flakes and reserve it. Add the sauce and bring to a small boil until it thickened up. Chop all your vegetables approximately the same size of your tofu and add them to the pan. Do not cook for too long cuz you want the celery to be crunnnnnchyyy!!!! At the very end, add the sesame seeds. Put on jasmine rice and enjoy! We love spicy food so we had the Sriracha sauce on the table and add it to our plates.... And by the way, for the "Non Tofu Eater" , you can change the tofu for chicken or even beef. Follow the same steps but cook the meat longer! Bon appétit!
