Cheat For a Dessert #coconutflour #healthydesserts #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 



Recipe (Sorry about the photo-and I really am a horrible cook.)

My triglycerides were a bit high last year and I was told to cut down on simple carbs. I only eat non simplified carbs in between meals. This is a good cheat for that as well as no refined sugar. Nice one Detoxinista!

Homemade Greek Yogurt #wolfgangpuck #breadmachine #bettertasting #healthier #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 

I added some honey and vanilla.


I started out with the regular yogurt from his machine. I loved the creaminess. It is better this way. My stomach took it down nice and felt better digested when I woke up. I will be doing this once a week to keep homemade yogurt in my system since gut health is so important, especially with an autoimmune disease. 




The strained yogurt that I turned into Greek yogurt is perfect for recipes and where I used low-fat organic yogurt as a starter and organic 1% milk, not only is it better for me but the price of Greek yogurt for a small amount for a recipe wasn't good for me to worry about throwing it out - I don't always want it in smoothies. I saved 3 starters of 3 tablespoons of regular homemade yogurt in the freezer and marked the date to try and use them up before 3 or 4 weeks before it loses the strain possibly as I read, giving me only having to buy one quart of yogurt a month to get 4 and more quarts of yogurt and in ways for recipes.

This Week's Special Recipes #newrecipes #excited #healthyfood #womenwithinflammation #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 These are recipes I'm trying this week. So excited! Making lemonade out of lemons!!!




Spinach Roll Ups

I'm looking forward to these because they're not your traditional lasagna recipe. I get tired of that. I think roll ups are fun.

Homemade Ricotta for my Recipes


Cardamom Chicken Thighs

This is very high in antioxidants and the first time using cardamom. Very excited!

(Update: DELICIOUS!)

Lemon Pound Cake Muffins

For breakfast, where I don't eat simple carbs in between meals, unless I've omitted quite a bit in my regular meal before. Frosting should be a challenge but I trust Detoxinista.

Quick Lemon Frosting

I use coconut sugar instead of refined white; should be interesting. I'm also excited to finally use some of my lemon extract.


 

Delectable Homemade Adobo Seasoning #adobo #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #homemadeseasonings

 I had been checking out adobo seasoning online to buy for a while. It either didn't have the price I was looking for or the ingredients. This turned out just fine. The taste on the air fryer chicken leg stood out. I used the chicken preset button, brushed two legs with olive oil, then sprinkled 1/2 tsp of the seasoning that I had stored in a ziploc bag label adobo seasoning on both legs. I turned them both on one another and what fell in the bowl and they were covered enough. I turned the legs halfway through with tongs. I always brush olive oil on the bottom of my air fryer basket when I cook. This didn't need to done when turning.



Same recipe, two different places. I don't remember which one I used.

Greek Dill Chicken and Rice #healthyfood #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

I put most of this into an instant pot browning the chicken, then onion and garlic and cooked on high for 10 min. with a natural release. I browned some tofu with the chicken as well.



Cauliflower Steaks and Homemade Onion Rings #healthyfood #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 



Love these! Ate almost half the cauliflower.

Cauliflower Steaks Recipe


I've always loved homemade onion rings. I make them in my air fryer with seasoned salt flour and buttermilk.

Nut Free Pesto #womenwithinflammation #healing #lorijeanfinnila

This pesto is made with the basil leaves from the @officialaerogarden my son gave me. I've never tasted anything like it and already feel the healing effects only have eaten lunch 30 min. ago. More energy, clarity, more emotionally stable. @freshcoasteats I added a bit of frozen spinach and lemon to 1/3 of it inspired by @twopeasandtheirpod. The 4C homestyle romano parmesan came in handy with delivery and no additive. Better warmed up or after sitting in the basil overnight. I suggest letting the pesto settle in the fridge for a while before eating it anyway - it's very pungent.

VEGETARIAN CHILI | a healthy, one-pot vegetarian recipe you'll love! Best I Ever Had


The best chili I ever had. And I didn't even have the fire roasted tomatoes or peppers. I used some flakes pepper and crushed tomatoes.The best chili I ever had.

Successful Oat Milk, I think.... #oatmilk #ataskathand #grateful #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 I think I finally got it. I made oat milk that doesn't taste really watery and actually leaves a bit of a satisfying taste in my mouth, and this is before refrigeration (no impact on Cookie and Kate) - I use a lot of her recipes. 

Oat Milk Recipe (one that I've come closest to it tasting anything like oat milk)

Air Fryer Baked Eggplant #eggplant #airfryerrecipes #healthyfood

 Most of the eggplant is made with an air fryer once I figured out it tasted better. I mixed some flour with basil and oregano and made an egg wash dipping the flour twice doing it after the egg wash too. Then I lightly brush olive oil on the eggplant and air fryer basket and fried at 400 degrees for a few minutes on each side until it browned. Then I took half and layer it in the baking dish and put some good jarred sauce, a bit, over that layer, and then put the next layer and more sauce and I topped it with cheddar cheese because that's all I  had in the house. Be sure to salt and pepper your eggplant before air frying as well. You can do this after it's all coated and after lightly brushing with oil. I baked it at 350 degrees for 20 min. My oven works fast. Yum!!!
