Surely you’re familiar with the tangerine (aka mandarin), with it’s sunny orange hue and juicy, vibrant burst of sweet citrus flavor, but did you know that you can use the peel of the tangerine to make a delicious tea, which can help to soothe what ails you? Read on to learn why this is the perfect time of year to incorporate this elixir into your routine.
I was inspired to make this yummy dessert from a recipe found in Dr. Alan Christianson’s free cookbook! I revised his vanilla chia pudding recipe and gave it a tropical twist!
1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk (homemade almond milk is my fav)
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup chia seed
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp alcohol-free stevia
1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
frozen chopped pineapple
Add all ingredients except the pineapple in large bowl and mix well so chia seeds do not clump. Set the mixture aside for 20 minutes at room temperature. Pour into single serving cups and pop them into the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
Top off each cup with frozen chopped pineapple to get that extra tropical flavor!
Enjoy!
BTW- I also love the sweet potato hash and the cilantro, lime cucumber salad recipes, you are welcome to download the cookbook here!: https://drsusanne.com/adrenalreset
Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am so into crock pot cooking!
Here is one of my favorite crockin’ recipes, paleo style. Organic ingredients of course!
Cilantro Chicken Curry
1-1/2 lb. of chicken- legs, thighs, breast cut up as desired
1 cup of chopped carrots
1 cup of chopped celery
2/3 cup diced onion
5 cloves garlic minced
1 cup of chopped cilantro
1 cup of diced japanese sweet potato or yam
chicken broth cover the ingredients
2 tsp of curry
salt as needed
ghee for coating the bottom of the ceramic crock pot
Lightly coat the bottom of the ceramic crock pot with ghee or healthy oil such as avocado or coconut oil.
First add the chicken, then all of the veggies on top of the chicken. Pour chicken broth on top until you cover the ingredients.
Turn on the crock pot at high level, then down to low after 1 hour. Add curry and cilantro. Continue on low until the chicken falls off the bone!
Enjoy!
BTW- you can add alternative flours such as brown rice or quinoa 15 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce as desired!
