Quinoa stuffed peppers in the @bravahome !!! Cooked quinoa, sautéed onion, one zucchini, bunch of kale, added salt pepper cumin and lemon. Precooked peppers in Brava (but could do in regular oven until slightly tender), then stuffed with quinoa mixture, topped with some cheese and put back in oven until hot and bubbly. Yum! 👍🏻 #bravalife #plantbased #dinner #dinnertime🍴 #stuffedpeppers https://www.instagram.com/p/BrInul1gNGx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ec71x1ykrfu9

How To Make Rotisserie Chicken in Your Crockpot!

Delicious fall-off-the-bone rotisserie style chicken done in your crockpot! A few tips and tricks help make this the best slow cooker chicken you'll ever eat!

Ingredients

1 ( 4 lb) broiler/fryer chicken 2 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp onion soup mix crushed 2 Tbsp garlic powder 2 tbsp olive oil 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt optional : 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper for heat or extra salt if you like it salty!

Instructions

Pat chicken completely dry with paper towels. Truss with or without string. (do NOT skip this step or it will fall apart in the crockpot) Combine the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl until it forms a paste. If it's too dry, add small amounts of oil until you get a good spreading consistency. Rub the paste all over the chicken, inside and out., making sure not to tear the skin.

Wad up 4-5 balls of tinfoil, place in the bottom of the crockpot and place the chicken, breast up, on top of the foil. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 8-9 hours.

When the thigh area has reached a minimum of 185 degrees, carefully remove from the slow cooker and place on a baking sheet. Cook for 5-7 minutes in a 450 degree oven to crisp up the skin, watching carefully. Remove and serve!

South American Roasted Chicken with Green Sauce & Roasted Potatoes & Veggies - another great @pamelasalzman recipe from her fantastic cookbook Kitchen Matters! Perfect Sunday Supper and a real crowd pleaser. While I’ve been 85% plant based the last few months, I’ve been working back in some organic, pasture raised lean meats (like this chicken) and wild seafood once or twice a week. This was an easy make ahead recipe and great for leftovers all week. Thanks Pamela! 🍴💚🍴#sundaydinner #sundaysupper #tastetrades #fitfam #healthydinnerideas #healthyfood #healthy #chicken #roastedveggies #vegetables #carrots #turnips #cilantro #potatoes #broccoli #asparagus

Green Minestrone🍵🍵🍵👌🏻 - inspired by an old recipe in @bonappetitmag found when clearing out my recipe binder 👍🏻Sautéed onion, celery, fennel in olive olive oil, added broth, carrots, barley, green peas, salt and pepper. Chopped some parsley with garlic and olive oil and put in top of the the soup, then added a tiny bit of parmesan cheese. This will be lunch all week! Omit the barley if observing Passover.
