Wok Wednesday. Dinner done fast. #wokwednesday #sweetandsourpork #sweetandsoursauce #epicure #dinnerideas #goodfood #lowsodium #glutenfree

Cooking dinner at home has many advantages. When you prepare meals in your kitchen, you have the power to choose healthier recipes and ingredients. Stir-frying is a fast way to cook small pieces of food in a hot pan or wok. ... BONUS your vegetables retain more nutrients than boiling. And you only need a small amount of oil (or you can even stir-fry using Epicure prepared Broth) Steps 1. Get the wok ready. As well as your Saute spoon. 2. Choose your oil (something with a high-smoke temperature) 3. Choose your protein: Poultry, Tofu, Salmon, Pork, Beef, Shrimp. Have your protein cut into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking. Once the protein is cooked (remove from heat). 4. Cook the vegetables. Onions & Garlic or use Epicure dried prechopped onion & garlic Broccoli Carrots Celery Green Beans Mushrooms Bell Pepper Chard Bok Choy Eggplant 5. Add flavour. Many store-bought sauces are high in sodium and artificial ingredients. Rest assured Epicure is both Sodium Conscious and contains no artificial ingredients. Try one of these Meal Solutions: Sweet & Sour Stir-Fry Sweet Garlic Chicken General Tao Thai Stir Fry Pad Thai Butter Chicken Tandoori Chicken And taste your food- often a dash of lime juice will take it over the top! But if your dish requires the flavour of soy sauce- add a teaspoon or two. Feel free to mix & match proteins & vegetables. Don't discount frozen vegetables, they are flash-frozen to preserve nutrients and work very well in stir-fries. Happy Wok-Wednesday

Our kiddo loves thermos lunches. Are your kiddos bringing a thermos lunch?

This September is different.

Like everything else, lunch at school is going to look different this fall. So, what to pack? Kids of all ages can participate in making or assembling their lunch, and having them choose what they get increases the chances they'll actually eat it.... Planning for leftovers at dinner can take care of lunch the next day if you have a thermos. It may be wise to pack a small bottle of hand sanitizer, or make a meal that requires a fork to eat so kids aren't directly handling their food. And don't forget to pack a refillable water bottle, as public fountains are a no-go. If school is happening at home, lunchtime provides a great learning opportunity for all ages it's a built-in foods course! It's impossible to not learn something in the kitchen. Following a recipe is good reading practice, measuring involves math and fractions, and there are elements of science and problem-solving. Whether you're staying home or packing lunch to go, no-bake energy balls are simple to blitz together in the food processor. They won't crumble in transport and keep well in a container on the countertop to nibble all week long. Measurements here are very flexible. The goal is to aim for a mixture that will hold together when you squeeze it. These are perfect for little hands to roll.

Back to school lunches Teacher Edition Make the best of farmers market produce. Cook once, and enjoy for up to three days in your fridge. Ingredients... MAKES: 1 SERVING 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinaigrette, prepared 4 oz grilled chicken, or protein of your choice 1 beet, steamed, cut in cubes 1/2 C radish, finely sliced 1 C carrot ribbons 2 Tbsp goat cheese, crumbled 1 C baby kale or spinach Layer all items in order starting with the dressing, seal with the lid, grab a fork and napkin, and off you go!

Homemade peanut butter chocolate granola. 1/2 c peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter) 1/2 c coconut oil 1/2 c maple syrup... 1 scoop Power Up Chocolate Protein Powder 1 tsp Apple Pie Spice 1 tbsp Cocoa Crunch 2 tbsp Summer Berry 1/2 c shredded coconut 1/2 c raisins 6 cups oats (gluten-free if needed) Preheat oven to 340 degrees F. In a multipurpose steamer combine peanut butter, coconut oil, & maple syrup. Warm in the. microwave until combined and pourable. Add remaining ingredients. If it appears too wet, add more oats. Spread evenly on 2 large baking sheet (lined with a silicone sheet pan liner) and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until evenly golden brown. Watch closely as it tends to brown quickly near the end. IMPORTANT: Toss once around the 15-minute mark to ensure even baking. Remove from oven, toss gently to release heat and let cool completely on the pan. Transfer to mixing bowl or storage container. Enjoy added on greek yogurt - my favorite. Fresh fruit will take it to the next level.

Probably my favourite thing is a ten minute dinner. Friday night used to be our take out night. Well sometimes it still is. But this pasta comes together in less than ten minutes. Seriously. ...

Ps it only took 4 minutes to make the sauce. Serve with veggies and dip or a garden salad. #easydinner #fridaynightfamilynight #tenminutedinner #hungrykids
