Your Not Abandoned or Alone #chicken #peppers #applecidervinegar #love #pursue #journey #lorijeanrocks

I have to say with everything we go through the worst is to feel abandoned from our pallet, and body for that matter. This dish will leave you very happily fulfilled. And I switched to apple cider vinegar, which I also use with turmeric and honey as an aid to keep my antibodies up and stomach relieved daily. Apple cider vinegar is only .99 at most stores. I also used up some leftover peppers and other vegetables I had on hand: asparagus and broccoli, and I had no onions in the house – still tasted good, I think better actually. I used coconut oil and avocado oil as my oils and I served it over brown rice cooked with a bay leaf. Also, don't over cook the chicken in the browning process, where I don't have searing pans mine doesn't brown, no bother, it still tastes good. Over cooking chicken definitely ruins it. And even though I over cooked it by a couple of minutes or so making sure the juices of the ingredients were soaking in the chicken as it simmered and making sure the juices were stirred well together and set for a couple of minutes after adding the rest of the vinegar makes it perfect. Enjoy and wallah to your journey of healing and working towards a better you with all the pain that goes along with it. You won't feel punished to this after eating this.

I use coconut oil without the flavor of it 'stating this on the jar.'

A dinner I reheated with it. Brought out the wonderful flavors. 

Snacks, Desserts, Breakfast and Tips #holisticyeah #lorijeanrocks

I want to add before I start, coconut oil has been helping me a lot. I buy the unflavored, or at least it says that, but it is mild, and use it to heat up my food. It's been helping my stomach. My digestion is easier. I found coconut milk, I like reduced fat, with granola (a bit for my Keto diet) eases my stomach as well in the morning. 

 Breakfast of egg, cheese, and avocado with my breakfast tea which has lemon grass that wakes me up and help kill the fatigue. Eggs inspired by Dr. Don Colbert of the Keto Zone Diet.

 

Love my ground pepper on eggs and my raisins give me the sugar boost.

 

My hot cacao drink with some coconut milk was yummy. I melted a square in a pan with the milk and whisked the cacao in.  

Also looking forward to trying Sammy and Bella's Blue Cheese Buffalo Wings, their Black and Blue Cheeseburger perhaps with ground turkey instead. Check out their Salmon Bake (I didn't have the zucchini) and watch on Episode 8 on Netflix.  I want to get an air fryer now after watching Episode 7.

New Lori Jean Keto/Paleo Recipes #lorijeaninthekitchen #holisticyeah #lorijeanrocks

I've been throwing together recipes that I like bending with my body. The energy is still there!! I also have progressed with this diet by actually being able to walk to a holistic store that is usually breathless for me and leaves me mindless without these affects. I could then even after this check out one more store on the way home with the intent in my brain to the thought process of what I was doing with my food calendar. So amazing! My body didn't hurt to walk that far either. I have recently cut out my Häagen-Dazs, (:( Sorry guys, it was good while it lasted; I suggest if you cheat you use them.) and just eat cacao and coconut milk for my desserts.

I took a chance throwing this together learning less is better. I only used ground basil, ground black pepper, a bit of minced garlic and avocado oil on baby red potatoes and sweet potato thinly sliced with shelled shrimp before baking at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. I then covered it for five minutes.

Video at Instagram My adding of a cup of cooked pasta (.5 c. measured broken up in measuring c. before cooking) and some yummy baby tomatoes, (plum and Mexican), and fresh grated Parmesan. I also used the everyday spice when searing/browning the chicken breast in avocado oil (apparently frying in olive oil is not good for you - the heat of the oil is bad?!) and added ground black pepper and sea salt to taste to the whole thing.

Seared salmon with everyday spice, avocado oil, ground pepper, lemon, and sea salt. Sweet potato fries fried in avocado oil with the everyday spice and kale sauteed with butter.

I found a wonderful mild tasting can of coconut milk at Trader Joe's. I bought reduced dat, which is just water added - it's 100 percent coconut milk, because I was afraid the taste would be too much for me. This is recommended for my conditions and used so often in Keto and Paleo recipes.

It quenched my sweet tooth even in a turkey and broccoli casserole. And my body feels more peaceful. I also had avocado oil mixed in with my salad where this helps aid the inner deeper wounds afflicted under my skin. I'm squeaking now. I'm going to try hot chocolate with it using cacao squares. Yum! You can make coconut whipped cream with it too. Much less ingredients than standard homemade. The Keto Reset Diet by Mark Sisson p. 302. You don't need a sweetener and it can be used as frosting. I'll be learning how to make cakes with aluminum free baking soda and maple sugar - made from boiling maple syrup in a pan.

Tips and Tricks! #lorijeanrocks #lorijeaninthekitchen #healthyliving #holistichealth

 This plate is a little messy but I made Fried Tilapia in olive oil with turmeric. So yummy! And topped it off with rice and beans that I've never been able to make before. I also used lime as a condiment. #healthyeating #lorijeanrocks Also added a turmeric rapid release capsule to my day. #po



I'm eating sliced pears, all natural apple sauce, and honey yogurt. Apple's give me energy, pears seem to hydrate me, and yogurt is good for my tummy. Has the good stuff in it and no guar gum or carrgeenan like most dairy. #healthyliving #lorijeanrocks

Getting Warm, A Blessed Sunday, Fried Salmon, Turmeric, and Chicken Jello Mold #lorijeanrocks #healthyhealing #blessed

Getting warm! And blessed Sunday with fried salmon in brown rice flour and flax seed meal, fried  sweet potatoes, and baked turnip!

My little Jello mold. I know this might not look special to you but it is. This is how soup looks when you don't need a whole lot of fat not to have seizures. You can skim the top of the broth after an overnight set in the fridge without the vegetables and noodles or rice added yet. Keep some small pieces of skin in the soup for those needed moments.

Spiced my day with turmeric!

Jesse's Avocado Grilled Chicken

Jesse Finnila's Grilled Chicken and Fresh String Bean with salt, pepper, and avocado oil. Yum!

I'm sorry I messed up again with the topic that I said would be up today. I'm trying to do too many things at once .... and with administrative details.... I do mess up. So sorry. Homemade pizza is next week. The baked tilapia this week is amazing too. The tarragon in it will give you a GREAT boost. It lasts me into the next day. I take a few leaves and chew them or swallow them lightly chewed - the strong liquorice type flavor can be a bit for some - with something to drink in the morning if I haven't added it to my morning smoothie. If you need a 'pick me up' later as well you can chew some leaves and swallow them.

I'm working on so many other fun recipes. Watch for recipes with avocado oil. I'm working on getting a small food processor for sauces, especially made with cheeses.

Roasted Chicken and Chard Split Pea Soup

Just came up with this one!
