Roasted chicken with veggies
Potatoes 🥔 sweet potatoes
Carrots 🥕 celery 🧅 onion
Garlic 🧄 cherry tomato 🍅 zucchini and peppers 🫑 lemon 🍋 juice olive oil salt 🧂 black pepper oregano 🌿
Easiest bake ever!
All in one pan.
Just cut up all your veggies in your pan place your chicken in the pan also use olive oil the juice of two fresh lemons and all the condiments.
Massage everything together along with a cup of water and cook for a couple of hours.
Why so long?
Because there are a lot of vegetables in plus if you use a whole chicken like I did you’d want to slow cook everything so it can be delicious 😋
You can also drizzle some honey 🍯 it’ll give it a great taste.
You can even use pieces of your favorite cheese not soft cheese though.
If you make it let me know if you like it.
Hugs to everyone and bon appetit 😋

Beef with eggplant in a red sauce such as healthy delicious food!

Μελιτζάνες με μοσχαράκι κοκκινιστό!!

Sautéed the beef in olive oil ( I don’t measure)
Cut up an onion 🧅 in to the pan with the beef and stir to get a beautiful golden color then 2-3 cloves of garlic and lastly big spoonful of tomato paste.
Stirring all together then in the pan half a glass of wine stirring.
Next enough tomato sauce your food will love fresh tomatoes 🍅 if you have some..
Cover and let cook till meat is done. I use some all spice and a stick of cinnamon also.
Then I take my long eggplant wash it cut it up ( you can see how big I cut mine)
I place parchment paper on a big enough pan so they can all fit and with a brush I go over them with dipping the brass in olive oil.
Place the pan in a preheated oven to 400 till I see them get a golden color then I turn them on the other side.
When they are all done I place them in a glass bowl I check my meat and if it’s all cooked I place the eggplant 🍆 in there.
I have a bunch of parsley cut it up thin and place it in with the rest.
I stir very gently the food and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes and then enjoy 😉

If you have left overs you can boil some pasta put the cooked pasta on a dish and over it put some of the dish you made it is so so delicious and you can use any pasta your heart ♥️ desires ❣️❣️

This was a low carb breakfast the other day and it was so delicious 😋
I use these 2 carb tortillas for anything really.
So how I make them:
I cut up half a red bell pepper in small pieces
Half onion if it’s big
And mushrooms
In a large skillet I use a tbsp of butter and I cook them for about 6-7’ or to your liking.
Some times I use a few pieces of low sodium ham also.
I beat 2 eggs and throw them in the veggie mix and scramble them or not make them like an omelette..
And when almost on one side I flip them and put cheese on them.
I used havarty.
You can use any cheese you prefer.
Then place them on the tortilla on a plate and enjoy them so very much.
You also can add anything sauce to your liking.
It gets you filled and the taste is really good!
I hope you guys can try it 💖💖

Stuffed pork loin tonite dinner 🍽️
I used 2 pork loins slit them in half I also cooked one packet of bacon half of it was for the stuffing so i cut it in small pieces and fried it.
In the lard I fried my cut up mushrooms and when they were done I put in the same large pan the loins to give them color.
I only used one pan for everything.
Now in a bowl I put a block of cream cheese that I had left out of the fridge so it can come to room temp.
Then in there I put half a cup filled with cut up dried cranberries.
Then I put the fried bacon and I also cut up about 5 large mushrooms in the bowl they went.
A bit of s&p and mixed all that very well
Then in my air fryer I placed the loins and stuffed them good.
Then I put on them mozzarella and cheddar and at the end I placed the bacon over them.
And cooked them. About 30’
This food is most delicious it’s a treat for just the family but awesome for dinner guests!!
You can serve them plane with salad I also backed a sweet potato 🍠 and asparagus.
But you can accompany it with anything.

Also this recipe is very forgiving because you really don’t have to count you can eyeball the ingredients.
I hope you make it and enjoy it as much as we do every time I make it.

Last night I came up with this apple raisin cake and for the first time I didn’t follow any recipe it came out delicious though!
I used
About 6 small Granny Smith apples cut in small cubes
I put them in a saucepan with 2 tbsp of monk fruit sugar and made caramel sauce and then also one tbsp butter and took it outside on my porch table to cool down.
Then I threw 4 eggs in the mixer 200 grams of Trader Joe’s Greek yogurt full fat
Butter 227 grams I melted it because I didn’t plan to make the cake it was on the spur of the moment so then a pinch of salt 2 more tbsp of monk fruit
Some blond raisins that I had left in water and then drained the water and dried them as far as the flour goes I must have used about 4 cups more or less I opted for the dough to be a cake dough consistency.
And at the end when I stopped the mixer I also used the apple caramel sauce in and used a wooden spoon and mixed everything together put it in a well butter coated cake pan along with flour and baked in a preheated oven at 380 for 45’
It is very good but if I make it again I will use less sugar.
I don’t like sweets on the sweeter side so that’s why I’ll use less.
It’s a pretty good hardy cake it’s dence not too fluffy like you eat one piece and it fills you up. 🌹🌹
