Recipe serves 2—3. Slice the zucchini in half and using a teaspoon, scoop out the center, about an inch deep. Place them on the lined baking sheet and brush the four zucchini halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Put the sheet in the oven and roast for 15—20 minutes. This will depend on the size of your zucchini. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Use a fork to see how easily you can pierce the side and do a little touch test.

Look for them to begin browning slightly on the sides. Meanwhile, mix together the tuna, celery, onion, and dill with the other tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice. Once the zucchini is done, take it out of the oven and turn on the broiler. Fill your canoes with the tuna mixture and top with the cheese.

Meanwhile, place walnuts and spices in your food processor and pulse until crumbled. My favorite way to enjoy this is on sourdough toast, topped with arugula or microgreens. Mash the chickpeas with a fork, or pulse in a food processor until chunky recommended method if you have one available.

Combine all ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, mix until fully combined. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Use as a sandwich filling, serve on toast, or with crackers. You could sub the carrots with potato to make it more filling and sub the cannellini beans with whatever tinned legume you have on hand!

See here for the recipe with process pics and nutritional values! Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in carrots. Add the beans and soy sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender and broth has thickened, about 15 minutes. Original recipe here. The pre-shredded mixes make this recipe easier, but you can save money but shredding the veggies yourself!

Peel the shallot and thinly slice it across the short end, creating rings. Separate the rings with your hands.

Warm 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, for two minutes. Add the garlic, coleslaw mix, and broccoli slaw mix and cook, stirring frequently, for another minute, then add the soy sauce and cook for one more minute.

Remove mixture from heat and transfer to a plate or bowl to cool. Once the mixture has cooled, make each spring roll one at a time. Prepare a wide bowl of water, large enough to dip the rice paper. Briefly dip the rice paper, turning it so every part touches the water.

Place the rice paper on a clean, smooth surface and fill with ¼ cup of filling. Roll the spring roll if you're unfamiliar with this technique, see the video on the website or google how to roll a spring roll.

If it feels rigid, wait a minute and try again. Once the rolls are prepped, prepare the sauce. Combine the cornstarch with ¼ cup warm water and mix until dissolved. Combine this and all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and place over low heat as you pan fry the spring rolls, mixing occasionally.

If needed, add a splash of water to the sauce to maintain a silky consistency as it simmers. Warm 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

Pan fry the rolls, turning occasionally, until the outside is crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and repeat with the next 5 rolls, adding a little more oil if needed. Serve immediately with peanut sauce on the side.

Fillet the chicken breast and pound the pieces to an even thickness. Dust the baking soda lightly over both sides of the fillets. Let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse off all the baking soda and pat dry with paper towels.

Begin boiling a large pot of salted water for the pasta as you prep other ingredients. Boil pasta per package instructions for al dente, then drain a set aside, keep covered.

I typically add the pasta to the water during step 5. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken until each side has some browning and the chicken is cooked through or mostly cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Remove chicken to a cutting board. Carefully wipe the skillet clean of excess oil, then add the coconut milk mixture. Once the sauce is ready, remove from heat and reserve about 2 tbsp for topping the chicken. Toss the pasta in the remainder of the sauce. Plate the pasta, and top with the chicken sliced into bite sized pieces.

Top the chicken with the remaining sauce and garnish the whole dish with the cilantro. Gently press the tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture. If desired, press the tofu in a tofu press or place between paper towels under a heavy object for a few minutes to remove even more moisture.

Dust the tofu with about 2 tbsp of cornstarch and toss to fully coat. Remove the tops from the Chinese eggplants then quarter them longwise creating 4 long strips per eggplant. Cut the strips into ½ inch pieces to create many small chunks.

Dust the eggplant with about 2 tbsp of cornstarch and toss to fully coat. Heat a swirl of veggie oil over medium-high heat in a wok or large skillet. Add the eggplant chunks and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is crispy in some places and soft all the way through, about 5—7 minutes.

Try to position the eggplant so the cut sides are in contact with the pan. Once cooked, remove to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. To the skillet, add another generous swirl of veggie oil. Once warm, add the cubed tofu pieces.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden and crispy on most sides, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove to a plate. Note, using a spatula to flip the pieces is much easier than using tongs. Add a little more oil to the skillet, once warm add the garlic and the whites of the green onion.

Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the sauce and mix everything together, then add the tofu and eggplant back to the skillet. Remove from heat and mix everything together.

Top with the green onion greens and sesame seeds, serve immediately with white rice. You only need a few ingredients to make this tasty and healthy recipe such as yogurt and garlic. You can either grill it on the BBQ or make it in a pan as I do in this recipe. I've also added in the notes below how to grill or bake the chicken skewers.

Original recipe posted here: Shish Tawook. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. While the chicken marinates, you can soak the wooden skewers in water.

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers. My skewers were medium-sized, so I threaded about 4 to 5 pieces on each. Place the skewered chicken and cook on each side for 3—4 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. I do this in batches of 4 skewers so as to not crowd the pan.

Serve with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice. I love serving it with pita, Lebanese rice, and a side of fresh salad and sumac onions.

Chicken: Traditionally chicken breasts cut into cubes are used for this recipe. But boneless, skinless chicken thighs are also a great option here. Yogurt: I use plain yogurt but you can also use greek yogurt.

Low fat or skim is also fine. Lemon juice: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Sumac: This is a Turkish spice. It's dark red and has lemony flavor. If you don't have it you can use paprika powder. Tomato paste: Some recipes don't call for tomato paste, but I like to add it for color and extra flavor.

Best Skewers for Grilled Chicken: The most common skewers are the long round wooden skewers. I don't personally prefer these as the chicken pieces move around too much and don't cook evenly.

I recommend using flat wooden skewers or flat metal skewers. Grill: Sheesh Tawook is usually made on large grills, and you can also use your BBQ grill for it. Just cook for 3—4 minutes on each side. Bake: You can also bake the marinated chicken in the oven, but there are more chances of the chicken drying out.

I suggest using chicken thighs for this method as it doesn't dry out easily. Pour the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Add the agave or honey or the sweetener of your choice. Add the olive oil and the crushed garlic. Add the salt and black pepper.

Add the chopped parsley and mix. Time: 15 mins Original Recipe Here. Please keep in mind that extreme calorie restriction is dangerous, and this recipe is meant to be paired with other hearty meals throughout the day. Separate the leaves of the baby bok choy and thoroughly clean.

Chop into bit sized pieces, separating the white and green portions. Thinly slice the green onion, separating the whites and greens again.

Set a pan over medium heat. Drain the shirataki noodles into a mesh strainer or colander and thoroughly rinse under cool water. Add the noodles directly to the empty pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until all the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Push the noodles to one side of the pan, and in the other side add the sesame oil, garlic, and the whites of the green onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1—2 minutes. To the pan add the whites of the baby bok choy, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.

Mix everything together and cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with MSG if desired. Add the greens of the baby bok choy to the pan and cook for one more minute until they are just starting to wilt.

Remove from heat and transfer to a plate or bowl. Top with sesame seeds and the green onion greens. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta noodles according to the package directions.

Once it is cooked, drain and rinse the pasta and spread it on a baking sheet to cool. Place all of the salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Shake the dressing again and pour over the salad ingredients.

Stir really well to coat everything with the dressing. Please note, there are multiple methods for "velveting" chicken, which tenderizes the meat. This method uses baking soda. This process is optional but recommended. Dust with 1 tsp of baking soda, then flip all the pieces and dust with the other 1 tsp of baking soda.

Let sit for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rinse the baking soda off of the chicken with water then thoroughly pat dry This is what tenderizes the chicken and gives it the unique texture. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.

While waiting on the chicken, mix together the chicken stock and cornstarch in small bowl, then add in the other sauce ingredients and mix well. Once the chicken is prepared, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chicken and try to arrange it such that the pieces lay flat in the pan. Cook until golden on one side 2—3 minutes , then mix the chicken around in the pan and cook until cooked through another ~90 seconds.

Push the chicken to the sides of the pan and add the broccoli to the center. Cook for about one minute, then add the water chestnuts and cook for another minute. Add more oil to the pan if needed. Next, lower the heat slightly and add the sauce.

Cook everything together for another ~2 minutes until the sauce has reduced and evenly coated everything. Remove from heat and add in the chopped green onion, serve immediately over a bed of white rice.

Food · Posted on Jun 4, by Megan Liscomb Personal Finance Editor. Lay the mushrooms in a shallow dish and combine the remaining ingredients for the marinade.

Veggies: While the mushrooms marinate, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill the mushrooms on each side for 3—5 minutes until nicely charred and softened. Toast the couscous: Add the pearl couscous and cook for 3 minutes more until it begins to toast and turn golden brown.

Alternate Cooking Methods: Grill: Sheesh Tawook is usually made on large grills, and you can also use your BBQ grill for it. Cooking at home can be much less expensive than eating out.

Some find it best to cook for the entire week on weekends, while others like to cook one meal at a time. Leftovers can be used for lunches or in other recipes. They can be reused in stews, stir-fries, salads and burritos.

Cook large meals from inexpensive ingredients, and use your leftovers during the following days. Shopping while hungry can lead to impulsive buying.

Some foods are more affordable in a less processed form. For example, a block of cheese is cheaper than shredded cheese, and canned beans are less expensive than refried ones. Whole grains, like brown rice and oats , are also cheaper per serving than most processed cereals.

Less processed foods are also often sold in larger quantities and yield more servings per package, saving you money overall. Whole foods are often less expensive than their processed counterparts.

You can also buy them in larger quantities. All food manufacturers have to follow standards to provide safe food. The generic brands may be the same quality as other national brands, just less expensive. Most stores offer generic brands for many products.

These are often of the same quality as more expensive national brands. By skipping processed foods, you can spend more of your budget on higher quality, nutrient-rich whole foods. Avoid buying highly processed foods. Not only are they expensive, they often contain lots of sodium or sugar, with little to no nutritional value.

Fresh meat and fish can be quite expensive. However, you can get many cuts of meat that cost way less. Look for chuck steak, pork top sirloin steak, whole chicken, or ground meat or poultry. It may also be helpful to buy a large and inexpensive cut of meat to use in several different meals during the week.

Less expensive cuts of meat are great to use in casseroles, soups, stews, and burritos. These types of recipes usually make big meals and lots of leftovers. Try having a couple of days per week where you use other protein sources, such as legumes , hemp seeds , eggs, or canned fish.

These are all very inexpensive, nutritious, and easy to prepare. Most of them also have a long shelf life and are therefore less likely to spoil quickly. Try replacing meat 1 or 2 times per week with beans, legumes, eggs or canned fish.

These are all cheap and nutritious sources of protein. Produce that is in season is typically cheaper and more nutritious. If you buy too much, freeze the rest or incorporate it into future meal plans.

Quick-frozen produce is usually just as nutritious. Frozen produce is great to use when cooking, making smoothies, or as toppings for oatmeal or yogurt. The rest will be kept safe from spoiling in the freezer.

Frozen fruits, berries, and vegetables are usually just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts. They also keep for a long time if you store them in airtight containers.

This is also true for beans, lentils, some nuts, and dried fruit. These are all staple foods that are relatively inexpensive and can be used in a variety of nutritious meals.

Many foods are available in bulk for a way lower price. They keep for a long time in airtight containers and can be used in a variety of nutritious, inexpensive dishes.

Seeds are very cheap to buy. With some time and effort, you may be able to grow your own herbs , sprouts, tomatoes , onions , and many more delicious crops. Home-grown produce may also taste a lot better than the store-bought varieties.

You can also guarantee that it is picked at peak ripeness. Eating out is very expensive, especially if done regularly. Packing your lunch, snacks, drinks, and other meals is less expensive than dining out.

Packing your own lunch reduces the expense of eating out. This can save you a lot of money in the long run. By cutting the cost of products needed around the house, you can spend more of your budget on nutritious foods. Coupons may be a great way to stock up on cleaning products and nutrient-rich foods.

Just make sure to avoid the coupons that involve processed foods. A lot of foods are both inexpensive and nutritious. By making some adjustments and using ingredients that you may not be used to, you can prepare many delicious and inexpensive meals.

Try increasing your use of eggs , beans, seeds, frozen fruits and vegetables, cheaper cuts of meat, and whole grains. Incorporating more inexpensive yet nutrient-rich foods into your daily routine will help you save money and eat well.

By registering, you get access to daily discounts and deals. In fact, there are many ways to eat nutrient-rich foods even on a very tight budget.
