Feta Pesto Pizza and Spanish Lentil Salad #helathydinner #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #womanfightinginflammation #abusedwomen

 Love this pizza!!!! Each time I try a new variation of a recipe I seem to feel I can't go back to the original recipes I'm used to. I can't say enough about this. I used a very thin pizza crust which I think made it.

Feta Pesto Pizza

Spanish Lentil Salad from Spain On a Fork

I used a recipe for  homemade lentils from Rainbow Plant Life for this lentil salad. I had no red pepper or corn. I added crushed black olives drained and even a bit of feta cheese at one point for a kick. I used a bit of aero garden parsley for the salad dressing and red wine vinegar. The dressing is through the roof. I tenderized my chopped carrots and green pepper a bit. The entire salad is great. Will make again.

Best Original Instant Pot Potatoes #italianseasoning #seriously #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

These are the best mashed potatoes I've every had-even with all my worst beater experiences. Thanks again Six Sisters Stuff. I took my skins off and used my homemade yogurt strained of course.

Healthy Hot Ranch Dip #gameday #healthydip #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 

I threw together a homemade recipe of ranch seasoning mix online from Sweet Peas and Saffron for this recipe. Love their name. I've used them before. I love when I get to use the same chef's over and over again. This Hot Ranch Dip Dressing is from Must Love Home, another catchy name. I loved that it didn't use buttermilk, which I'm horrible at making, and added a zest of hot sauce-which is what I used that I had in the house.  I used my homemade yogurt drained a bit for the sour cream.

Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies #alternativeingredients #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #womanfightinginflammation #abusedwomen

 

I like using old fashioned oats in my cookies. I think they give them more consistency. I also used Hershey's sugar-free chocolate chips-my favorite. This recipe uses less white sugar than most so it was easy to swap out coconut sugar for the entire recipe. I used half coconut oil and half butter. These are yummy and guilt free. I have to eat them when I haven't had much simple carb for a meal. This is the only way I keep my body lined up healthy. I'll eat other low carb desserts when I haven't done this.

Easy Skillet Lasagna #sixsistersstuff #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #easy #healthy #meals #womanwithinflammation #abusedwomen

This easy lasagna is over the roof. Easy, quick, healthy ingredients, and a lot of food. I used my homemade Greek yogurt and made a homemade marinara I found online (which is real good too). This does taste like lasagna. Will be making this again.  I'm sold on Six Sisters.

Quick in a Pinch Lemon Herb Salad Dressing #spainonafork #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #healthysaladdressing

I was in a pinch this evening needing a quick salad dressing with not many ingredients. This fit the bill perfectly. I used fresh dill from the aero garden my son got me.

Taco Fish and Chipotle's Rice #homemade #betterforyou #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #domesticgeek #skinnytaste

Taco Fish

Chipotle Rice

This is made anti-inflammatory from not using bad oils. I was pleased to find I could make a lime cilantro rice with only 2 ingredients not counting the oil. I haven't ventured into corn chips. The ones at the store all have inflammatory oils that I could find. I would have to buy a press and use my physical strength. We will see. These two compliment each other wonderfully. I really enjoyed it.

Lazy Garlic Butter Pasta #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #pinchapinksalt #easyrecipes #simple #shelflife #alternativeingredients

I threw this together after recording an event for my The Women Channel. I was exhausted and needed something healthy and quick to go with Pesto chicken legs. I used Jordan Page's shelf cooking idea and threw in what I had on hand that had to be used up for this delicious pasta recipe. A couple of basil leaves, a bit of lemon, and a bit of olive oil for some of the butter where it helps my stomach, some frozen broccoli and cauliflower where I used the instant pot to cook the pasta-made my life so much easier with preparation and time. Appreciated Shani's base. I will definitely be making both of these recipes again.

Slightly off-centered.

Homemade Ricotta Basil Pizza #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #healthyfood #fightinginflammation #pizza

 I used homemade ricotta that I made that I thought I removed too much whey from and it was perfect for pizza.

I used a pizza dough made in my Wolfgang Puck bread machine. I made homemade ricotta. I used basil leaves from my aero garden and Chef Pete from Australia's pizza sauce recipe (I always use crushed tomatoes). I bought a 5-Italian cheese to add.

Creamy Chicken Stroganoff #simple #easyrecipes #shelfcooking #jordanpage #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

Recipe (about 1:56 in) Sorry, not the best photo-tried. :(

I've been wanting to make a recipe from Jordan Page and Six Sisters but these women are so fast I can barely keep up with them. I caught this one and went to the daunting task of alternative ingredients using homemade cream of chicken soup (in a recent post here as an ingredient), homemade Italian seasoning packet, and homemade yogurt drained close to a sour cream consistency. It took me all morning to get the soup right enough, and then I added too much milk where my soup wasn't condensed. I knew to look out for that but still didn't get it quite right. The flavor was there in this recipe though which took over all. I just added a bit of cornstarch. And since I liked it so much I will be making it again, which isn't often, and know to add less milk where my soup already has some in it. I was so pleased that I made a budget meal that is delicious and spread the small amount of chicken out into four meals where I made half the recipe. You don't need expensive cream cheese where the flavor is there. I can see why kids love this growing up on Hamburger Helper. I opted for a milder Italian seasoning using onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. This is a must try and Jordan will help you budget cook while using what you have on your shelves at home. I will get to Six Sisters as I diligently try to find a recipe I can hold onto in my head (just found on their website that they list them easily, yes!

Had to throw in a beautiful picture of this cheese bread I made with the Wolfgang Puck bread machine.

Homemade Graham Crackers with Coconut Sugar and Coconut Oil #healthysubstitutes #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #womanfightinginflammation

 I swapped out with coconut oil and coconut sugar to keep it anti-inflammatory. They taste yummy. Will be grinding them in my food processor for a graham cracker pie crust.

I was surprised I could make these. My hands get tired easily from injuries from abuse so I was pleased I could use my Wolfgang Puck bread machine to blend the dough for these crackers-let me tell you this was no easy task for any dough machine. It came out beautifully with no effort on my part. I did substitute the refined sugar for coconut sugar and felt a milder oil taste using inflammatory-safe coconut oil is a better choice. I used regular milk as well. The flavor is bursting and now I have an option to make this dessert that I've been dying to make with the chai flavors. I couldn't find any graham crackers without refined sugar or an inflammatory oil. I can blend these in my food processor to make graham cracker crumbs.

SunButter Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #womenwithinflammation #healingrecipes

 

I love baking with sunbutter because I know I'll get the extra energy I need while getting the satisfaction of a dessert. I like sugar-free chocolate chips with maltitol. It doesn't effect me and tastes good.
