1 pkg. ground chicken
1 cup broccoli, finely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 tblsp (approx) Tex Mex seasoning
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 red onion chopped fine
In a large frying pan, put 1/2 the broth, chicken, garlic red onion and 1/2 the tex mex seasoning. When chicken starts to brown add the rest of the broth, broccoli and the rest of the tex mex seasoning. Simmer and let the broth cook down.
We fight with Isabel all the time to eat her broccoli. She had 3 taco's and did not notice the broccoli!!

Adding Healthy to Pancake Mix
Using any pancake mix add the following:
1/2c rolled oats
1-2 tbs ground bran
1 tbs flax seeds or hemp seeds ground
1/2c pecans
1 tsp cinnamon
You'll have to adjust the amount of milk you add to make up the batter.
Chicken StirFry
2 Chicken Breasts
1 cup Veggie Broth
1tsp Olive Oli
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/2 onion minced
1-2 cloves garlic minced
1tsp Chinese 5 Spice
Salt & pepper to taste
Veggies of your liking
Teriyaki to taste
The directions are similar to the Fajita recipe below. Start with the Olive Oil, cook the onion and garlic until translucent, then add the chicken, season with 5 Spice. Add broth as you cook to scrape up anything sticking to the pan. Once chicken is cooked, add sesame oil, the veggies, more seasoning, teriyaki and broth as needed. Until it is a cooked. The broth will create a sauce as you are cooking. Serve over rice. I found gluten free Basmati & Wild Rice at Remarks - very tasty!
Chicken Fajita's
1 package chicken strips ( or 2-3 chicken breasts cut into strips)
1 cup cherry tomatoes - cut in halves
2 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeno - cut in thin strips (optional - does not over heat the meal)
1/2 red onion cut in strips
1 ea. red, green & yellow pepper cut in strips
1 tbsp Tex-Mex seasoning
pinch of salt & pepper
1 cup veggie stock
1 tbsp Olive Oil & Flax Oil
In a large skillet heat up oil, add red onion. When onions turn translucent add chicken and season with 1/2 the Tex-Mex seasoning. Once chicken is brown add tomatoes, salt, pepper, jalapeno and garlic, when bottom of pan starts to get brown add a bit of stock to loosen the flavours sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add peppers, remaining Tex-Mex seasoning and brown. Continue adding stock through out to loosen flavours browning at the bottom of the pan and creating a bit of sauce, then let simmer on low heat.
Serve on tortila shells. I use the flax shells and my homemade guacamole instead of sour cream. A full meal in one not-so-neat package - have plenty of napkins ready!
Simple Salmon Marinade
1 tbsp Maple syrup
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
Salt & pepper
Weather you let it marinade for 5 minutes or an hour - still tastes great! Like eating candy!! Great with asparagus!

5 fresh basil leaves chopped up
handfull fresh baby spinach chopped up
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tblsp olive oil
