Sunday Stir Fry 'Bake'

Hello Friends,

This one is so simple...but so darn good and a great as lunch leftovers.  I love a good stir fry...lot's of delicious veggies, meat and of course flavour, flavour, flavour!  Garlic, ginger whatever your heart desires.  It's been a busy day and while I wanted to make a stir fry, I didn't relish the idea of standing over a wok cooking everything in stages.  I though about throwing it all in together, but it would still require me to stand and watch...so why not bake my stir fry?

I still like to brown the chicken, I like that carmalized flavour. 


To make extra sure the chicken was tasty, I quickly sauteed my onions in the pan first.  In went the chicken and some Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper.  When it was browned and mostly cooked I added a some black bean sauce.  (So full of flavour, but full of sodium too, so use a light hand!)

...about this much

While that finished cooking, I chopped veggies I had in the fridge.  Red, yellow and orange peppers, a bag of broccoli slaw (short cut alert...a great addition to stir frys, soups and salads...no chopping of broccoli required) mushrooms and red onion. 


I also added fresh garlic and ginger and then poured about 1/2 cup of water over everything.  You could also splash in a little Low Sodium Soy Sauce or any other seasoning you enjoy. 


 Add the chicken and wrap it up tight with foil.



Into the oven at low heat, I put it in at 300 degrees as I wanted to steam the veggies as opposed to bake them.  I checked after 30 min, then did two more 10 min intervals.  It all depends on how crisp you like your veggies...the chicken is already cooked.

Serve over rice, noodles or Shirataki Noodles!  Eat it for Lunch tomorrow in a WW wrap!


Enjoy.

Toby

New Life, New Job, Same Goals

Hi Friends! It's been a while.  I lost my blogging mo-jo a few years back just before everything in my life changed.  I've been through a time of extreme reflection, growth and change.  I left my marriage in 2017, started an amazing new job at Kelowna's NEW 103.1 Beach Radio in the spring of 2018 and somewhere in there found the love of my life. This period of adjustment has been at it's core, a shift to happiness.   Ensuring my daughters are happy and secure in the new arrangement has been of paramount importance.   This transition has been so worth while but as with any new journey some of the old, familiar things fall by the wayside.   If you follow me on social media or if you read this blog when it was active (2011-2014), you know that healthy eating and exercise have always been part of my daily life. Through my 20's and 30's, I was up and out of bed at the crack of dawn running, riding or doing some form of exercise.  I...

Indian Food Intimidation

Hello friends. I have something I need to get off my chest.  For years, I have been intimidated by curry.  I don't know a Vindaloo from a Tikka Masala.  What I do know is that I always enjoy an authentic Indian meal, I just want to be able to cook one myself! Last night a friend put on a fantastic Indian spread...butter chicken (none for me!)  a delicious vegetable curry and a chick pea curry.  There was of course naan bread and basmati rice.  Delicious.  Today I was inspired...I entered the grocery store without a list or any concrete plan.  I just knew I wanted a curry dish, I knew what I wanted in it and how it should look and taste.  Brave I know...but this story has a happy ending. I grabbed all my vegetables first.  Onion, garlic, red pepper, cauliflower, potato and peas.  I moved on to organic chick peas, light coconut milk and brown basmati rice.  A great base...but then the curry conundrum.  I appr...

Make Room For It

Clutter is so detrimental.  In your closets on your counters but most especially in your head.  Outside clutter can be discarded with a little time and elbow grease but removing mental clutter is a whole other ball game. I'm going to speak about fitness and healthy eating but this can be applied to anything that has you stuck. I've fretted for months about losing my exercise routine.  A new career move meant a new schedule in direct conflict with my gym time.  It had been my gym time for as many years as I can remember and when I lost it (even though I love my job) I lost a little part of myself. My mind was over-active with new approaches to exercise but honestly they were mostly excuses about why I didn't really need to, mixed with a touch of self loathing. This thing that had been so important for my physical and mental well-being was getting further away...until a moment of clarity. Let me ask, have you tried meditating?  Going quiet, letti...
