Rainbow Power Kale Salad - my son was gone for this meal, but my girls liked it far more than I thought they would! I think the different colors and textures made for a beautiful and delicious salad. Keep the dressing and peanuts on the side and you'll have great leftovers for the week.
Oven Fajitas - a standard favorite
Green Taco Wraps - a made "real" meat as well, but we put our fillings in lettuce leaves and everyone was happy. If, like me, you don't have a food processor and use a Vitamix for food processing, make sure to put the walnuts in before the lentils to avoid too many mushy lentils.
Date Night!
Chicken Curry - I first tried the recipe on the side of the Patak Mild Curry Paste jar, but have made some changes and we all enjoy this dish:
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 Tbsp curry paste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes, drained of juices
1 tsp sugar
salt to taste
1/2 cup coconut milk
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and saute a few minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant (1 minute). Add chicken pieces and cook about 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Add curry paste and mix well. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a low boil and simmer, uncovered, 20-25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce has thickened. Stir in coconut milk and cook just until heated through. Serve over rice or with naan bread!
