Grilled Chicken and Beans for Dinner... or Lunch!

Absolutely Delicious!  Just another dish that goes to show that eating real food tastes sooooooo much better than junk food.  Try this one out...

1 Chicken Breast
1 Can Organic Black Beans
Sliced Baby Portabella Mushrooms
Lime Juice
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Cilantro Chopped
Fresh Garlic Chopped
Sea Salt
Fresh cracked Peppercorn
Sweet onion
Fresh Broccoli Stalk

1. Make lime sauce. Get a bowl out and mix in some lime juice and olive oil.  The ratio of lime juice to olive oil should be about 4:1.  Mix in a pinch of sea salt, some fresh ground pepper corn, fresh chopped garlic, and fresh chopped parsley to taste and stir.

2. Make the beans!  Get out a medium sauce pan.  Drain and rinse a can of organic black beans and poor the beans into the sauce pan.  Add about a forth cup of chopped sweet onions, just a pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked peppercorn to taste, slice or chop up a few baby portabella mushrooms and stir all together on a low heat. 

3. Grill the Chicken!  Place thawed chicken breast(s) on the grill and cover.  As the chicken cooks; baste both sides with the lime sauce.  About half way through put some of the sweet onion on the grill in large slices along with the broccoli still on the stalk away from the bulk of the heat.  Baste the onion and broccoli stalk with the lime juice.

Put it all together and serve!

Salmon Ginger with Fresh Broccoli

Want the easiest and one of the most tasty ways to make salmon? Try this out!

I never measure this stuff out. You just know how much to use as you prepare it...

- Salmon Fillet - Wild caught only NO farm raised
- Fresh ground Ginger
- Sea salt
- peppercorns freshly ground
- 2 or 3 Cloves of Garlic chopped
- Broccoli
- Olive oil, extra virgin OR non stick spray

In a medium sauce pan heat up some oil or non stick spray and add wild salmon over low-medium heat. Flip salmon when half way cooked; add salt, pepper, and ginger to taste on both sides. Add chopped garlic and broccoli to the same pan as the salmon for only the last couple of minutes to minimize nutrient destruction of the broccoli. You can lightly add salt and pepper to the broccoli if you would like. That's it! Serve and enjoy. Believe me you WILL enjoy this ridiculously simple and tasty dish :)

My mouth is Salivating as I eat this while I share this recipe with all of you ;)
