Slow Cooker!

Slow Cooker Coconut Chicken Curry ( Gluten & Dairy-free)  Print Friendly  Description: Breaking out the trusted slow cooker is a ritual that makes me tingly all over. Cozy nights filled with nourishing, hearty dishes are the best way to to survive and thrive through the winter. Since this tends to be a hectic time of year, the convenience of cooking once and eating two or three (or four) times is not just helpful, it's downright necessary. Save yourself from succumbing to the take-out routine and make some curry instead. I absolutely love this dish because it is delicious and nutritious. There are so many health benefits in here I don't even know where to begin. This curry contains a nice dose of Turmeric, which is a natural anti-inflammatoy and has been linked to improved cognitive function. The coconut oil and coconut milk are great sources of healthy fats. You'll get a heaping helping of protein from the chicken and almonds, plus the cleansing benefits of cilantro. Yum. Ingredients: 3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken 6 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 red onion, chopped 2 red peppers, chopped 2 tsp. fresh ginger, grated 1 Anaheim chili, diced (seeds removed) 1 cup of full fat coconut milk 1/4 cup coconut oil 2 tbsp. tomato paste 1 cup bone broth (Low sodium) 2 tbsp. Turmeric 1 tbsp. cumin 2 tsp. chili powder 4 tbsp. Garam Masala Fresh Parsley for garnish (chopped) Toasted, slivered almonds for garnish Salt + pepper to taste Directions: Add all ingredients except chicken to your slow cooker and give it a good stir to combine all the flavors. Add chicken and spoon the sauce over it. Make sure everything is equally distributed throughout the pot Cook on high for 4 hours. Serve it up, top with parsley and almonds (this is great over cauliflower rice). Enjoy! Servings: Serves 6 (or 2 people, 3 times) Special Diet: Gluten Free, Low Sodium, High Protein Category: Slow Cooker! Submitted By: The Institute for Integrative Nutrition

Recipe

Banana Whole-Wheat Bread Category: Desserts Description: Native to the Caribbean and Central America, bananas are one of America's favorite fruits. They are rich in potassium - one banana contains 450 mg of potassium, one-fifth of the adult daily requirement - and offer a fair share of magnesium (33 mg), too. In addition, bananas help to strengthen the stomach lining and are good for soothing indigestion. Most banana bread recipes are saturated with butter and sugar. This one uses a small amount of canola oil instead - which is much better for your heart - and honey, which of course means lots of flavor. Don't use regular whole-wheat flour. It is too heavy for this recipe. Look for whole-wheat pastry flour instead. Full Recipe
