I am trying to feed my family some healthy food after all the junk we ate during December. I gained 4 lbs and Peter gained 8! I am especially looking for recipes with lots of veggies in them. Here are some of the recipes we have tried lately that we really liked.
Chicken and Broccoli with Spicy Peanut Sauce
This is awesome. Probably one of our favorite meals. Did I already post this recipe? I don't use quite that much oil and I use sesame oil because I like the flavor better. I don't know how much worse sesame oil is for you than olive oil, but that is what I use.
Ingredients:
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/2 cup peanut butter, (I like crunchy better, but either will work)
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 4 cups chopped broccoli
• Chili-garlic sauce, optional*
Directions:
In a small bowl, blend peanut butter, water, soy sauce and sugar; set aside. In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add garlic and pepper; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add chicken, stir-fry until firm and white, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli, stir-fry until bright green, about 3 minutes. Stir in peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes.
*I like to add chili-garlic sauce to pb mixture to give it some extra kick. I probably use 1-2 tsp.- we like it spicy.

Okay so the Spicy Peanut chicken is basically one of the best recipes I've ever made, and one of the best things I've ever eaten. I've made it 5 times in the last 2 weeks. I know that's crazy but that's what I've been craving. I also made the crab avocado salad it changed my life. I finished the whole salad by myself in two days. I love having a pregnant sister who's posting yummy healthy recipes that I am also craving too. It must be a pregnancy thing.
