that the coconut milk had sugar in it. Next time i'll make my own
coconut milk but, this works for now.
1 13 oz can of unsweetened coconut mlk
4 bags california mixed vedgitables
2 tbsp orange zest
2.5lbs boneless chicken thighs
2lbs mushrooms
1 small onion
1/4th cup honey
cook the 4 bags of vedgitable mix for a good hour on medium. This
ensures they're well cooked.
cook the chicken thighs in coconut oil for a good 45 mins on low
slice the mushrooms
chop the onion fine but not too fine (note) you should use 2 onions my
husband and i didn't think there was enough onion flavor in it)
when chicken is done, take it out of the pan and put it on paper towels
to drain off the extra oil.
when vegitables are well cooked slowly feed them into the food processor
till they are completely pureyed there should be no lumps in them if you
can help it.
fry the onions and mushrooms in a little olive oil till they are very
well done.
add the coconut milk and orange zest to the mix in the food processor
and let it blend for several minutes
chop the chicken into small bites
pour chicken mushrooms and onions, and mix into a large pot and set to
simmer
add the quarter cup of honey and let simmer for about half an hour
stirring ocationally.
I say unsweetened coconut milk. We had the missfortune that sweeteened
was all wallmart had. Amazon has unsweetened organic coconutmilk by the
case. I'll probably purchase a case of this next month to use with cooking.
We found almond milk today which i'm definitly excited about. I've been
looking for a good replacement to cows milk and now i have one that food
stamps will pay for. Thank god. They wont pay for almond flour which i
paid $65 for 10lbs....not pleased there but what can i do. Food stamps
certainly wont pay for certain bulk items like nuts and almond flour. I
wish they would.
Chris and i have been trying to save, but i feel like we start saving
or get to the point where we might be able to save and we really can't.
I figured we'd save about 100 or so this month, but it's turned around
and gone right back into the endless pit that is my health. Oh this may
not be quite so bad as it could be. Chris will eat the breads and things
that i make with the almond flour and nuts I'm just frustrated by the
fact that i can go out and buy chocolate or cookies or chips on food
stamps, but i can't buy things like bulk nuts of nut flours that i need
to survive.
Oh well i'm done ranting now.
My dad and chris are gonna dot he guy thing for newyears, my mom and i
may watch tv but it's more likely that i'll read or watch tv all night
till i pass out.
Going to make a banana cake tomorrow. Going to double the batch this
time though because i want to hopefully have it last longer then 3
days....I can't help it though i love the stuff lol and it's nice to be
eating bananas again.
I've got the makings for an scd pumpkin pie to. The pumpkin has sugar in
it to, blah but i'm going to go to amazon and see if i can find some
organic unsweetened pumpkin.
