Moroccan Cabbage and Carrot Slaw


A new twist on the old slaw…
Here is another slaw recipe- with a spicy twist

Moroccan Cabbage and Carrot Slaw

Dressing:
½ C Mayo
2 tbs Fresh Lemon Juice (Basically the juice of one lemon)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tsp granular sugar substitute
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper

1 head of green cabbage, shredded (4-5 C)
3 medium carrots, shredded

I got the bagged stuff at the store and also used red cabbage.  I also used all the greens of the scallions by slicing them julienne style and adding to the slaw.

This would make a surprising new dish for a pitch in!

Broccoli Ginger Slaw

Broccoli Ginger Slaw This recipe was originally called a “Detox Salad”   but that name sounds a little scary!   So, I decided to rename it!   Its good for pitch ins, was not too hard to make, and not too expensive… not to mention it’s full of good-for-you things!      2 cups broccoli (This was like a small head of broccoli)      2 cups cauliflower (small head) 1 cup red cabbage, chopped or shredded (I bought a small bad of pre-chopped red cabbage- much more cost and time efficient than buying and entire head for just a small bit) 1 cup carrots, shredded or chopped.   (2-3 carrots) 1-1/2 cups fresh parsley (A couple of handfuls)   2 celery stalks   ½ cup almonds (or a couple of handfuls)   1/2 cup sunflower seeds (a couple of handfuls)   1/3 cup organic raisins (a few small boxes)   3 Tbsp olive oil   ½ cup lemon juice (juice of a whole lemon.   A little lemon grate in it is good too.   1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated   2 t

Bi-coastal Salsa Chop up these ingredients and put in a big bowl: 3 cloves garlic 3 green onions 1 small or ½ large red onion 1 small or 1 large Vidalia or sweet onion (1/2 jalepeno) 3-5 Tomatoes 1 green bell pepper 1 red bell pepper 1 orange bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper (purple bell peppers are nice too, if available) ½ bunch chopped cilantro Mix together: 1-2 tbs red wine vinegar ¼ C lime juice (juice of 1 large  lime or two small ones) Grated lime peel Pepper ¼ tbs ground cumin 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp olive oil (or other salad oil of your choice) I adapted this recipe from two different salsa recipes.   One was from an LA Weigh Loss cook book, and another was from the South Beach cookbook… so, I named this “Bi-Coastal Salsa”! There is no cooking involved here, but the cutting can be tedious if it’s not your favorite thing to do. I like the peppers and onions to be chopped quite fine.   Putting them through a processor is an option, but

Pan Grilled Chicken

For some people who might be beginning cooks-or for those who have never really taken the time to cook anything that doesn’t come from a box and with instructions, I will be glad to show you some simple and yummy basics- stuff that you won’t even need to have a recipe for. Some people are afraid of cooking meat-   I know I was at first.   I started off only cooking ground beef!   Here is something easy and fairly quick that you can do with chicken. I buy chicken breasts.   That way, I don’t have to mess with bones etc.   It is also the healthier part of the meat.   You can get them in big bags, frozen, or in smaller packages in the meat section not frozen.   If you have frozen ones, you should thaw them out a bit.   These days, you can do it in a microwave!   Check your settings. After you thaw them, if they are thick, cut them in half.   You can leave them partially connected, and just flay them out.   I don’t know what the correct term for that is, but that’s what
