My favorite broccoli recipe

In an attempt to add more veggies to my diet I am doing a recollection of my favorite veggie friendly recipes, this next one is by far the yummiest way to eat broccoli! I can sit with a whole bowl and munch on it like its a bag of chips. This recipe comes from a cookbook of Asian recipes and let me tell you, some of my favorite recipes come from here.

Stir-Fried  Broccoli

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 medium heads of broccoli, cut into florets

2 tbsp soy sauce - I use more so feel free to add more if you are into soy sauce

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tbsp superfine sugar

1 tsp grated fresh ginger root - Again, I go crazy with this one because I love the ginger taste

1 garlic clove, crushed

Pinch of hot chile flakes

1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

Preparation:

In a large skillet or wok heat the oil until almost smoking. Throw the broccoli in and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, ginger root, garlic, garlic, and hot chile flakes. Add the mixture to the broccoli and cook over gentle heat moving constantly for 2 or 3 minutes.

Put on a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Hope you love this as much as I do!

Health is my quest!

I am always trying to figure out how to get more fruits and vegetables in my diet, but the real challenge is how to do the same for Sophia. This society full of McDonalds and chicken nuggets is destroying children's healthy habits and making healthy eating very hard to implement in our daily life. I dream with the day that I see her picking cherry tomatoes, asking for broccoli and ranch or eating a home cooked meal without the whole whining experience.

While in GA, I ran into this amazing product which is backed up by a ridiculous amount of clinical studies and I am very excited to see the effects that will have not only in my body but in Sophia's health. This company actually sponsor's your kids for 3 years, that's right! You get it free for 3 years for your little ones. I am not saying that this is a substitute to your fruits and veggies but it definitely fills the nutritional gap and lets you go to bed a little more at ease knowing that your little ones are well taken care of.

The health benefits of Juice Plus are amazing and will post more info about the clinical studies but can't wait to post about the results of having 17 servings of fruits and vegetables every day in our diet!

Take a look at the video below for an intro to the benefits of this amazing product! And if you are curious or interested shoot me a line and I will "hook you up"! lol  =)
