Baked Beet Soup

Baked Beet Soup

Peel 4 medium beets and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

Meanwhile:

Saute ½ cup chopped onion, 1 clove garlic minced, and ½ cup celery thinly sliced. 

½ cup diced carrots

Add roasted beets.

1 can (1 ½ cup) Simple Truth Organic Tri-bean blend, drained

Simmer until cabbage is starting to get soft.

Salmon Kale Baked Salad

 1 filet salmon, I use frozen

1 frozen lemon cube (ice cube tray)

¼ - ½ tsp Turmeric

¼ cup julienned carrots

2 large kale leaves, stems removed, chopped

Tessemae’s All Natural Green Goddess Dressing/Marinade/Dip

Baking dish deep enough to hold greens like a bread pan

Salad greens of choice

Cover a baking dish with foil and add salmon.  Sprinkle with Turmeric and add the lemon cube.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Add carrots then top with the kale, then drizzle with dressing.  Bake another 10 minutes.  The kale will be light and crunch on the top, which is really good over the salad.  Put over salad greens of choice warm or cold.

Quinoa Salad

Quinoa Salad

½ cup uncooked quinoa

2 TBSP chopped fresh chives

½ cup fresh Italian parsley

Drizzle of Angelina Mandarin Orange Crushed Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or other citrus olive oil)

sea salt to taste

1 cup green beans

1 cup asparagus

another drizzle of olive oil

Cook the quinoa and set aside to cool.  Once cooled, stir in the chives, Italian parsley, olive oil and a little bit of salt.  Chill in the refrigerator.  Steam or bake the asparagus and green beans (I baked them with some of the citrus oil).  Chop in pieces before cooking, after cooked some of it is hard to chop.  Add sea salt and pepper to taste.  Serve warm or cold. 

Since asparagus can be very expensive during off-season, other greens can be added.  I’ve made this with sugar snap peas and it was very good.
