Ah well, it is a wrap!

Today is a normal day where my energy is at a basal level. By basal, I mean 80% hyperactivity. I try to practice moderation in every aspect of my daily life so, no coffee today for the extra 20% boost. I perform well at this level as I have already edited half of my dissertation without having breakfast.

Ding, Dang, Dong! The bell chimes. You know what that means? Lunch time!!! Fridge, here I come.

Marching like a disciplined soldier, I rummage through an almost empty fridge. It is high time I paid a visit to the grocery store. ah well,...... not today. What can I whisk up with almost nothing?

#Grabs ingredients
Gluten free chicken wrap. In less than 30 minutes, I should be done. 

#Dancing
#smiling

Ingredient
Diced chicken breasts
Bbq sauce
Gluten free wraps
Onions
Olive oil
Mayonnaise
Coleslaw mix
Cheese
Cooking spay
 
Method
Heat some olive oil in a sauce pan, add chopped onions and stir till translucent. Add the diced chicken and stir fry to cook. While stir frying, add spices palatable to your taste buds. 
Once cooked, turn down the heat, add some bbq sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Turn off the stove and set the bbq chicken aside.

In a clean bowl, mix together cole slaw, mayonnaise, cheese and the bbq chicken mix. (I have once added mixed bell peppers and guacamole dressing to the mix. Mixology aka cooking is about your sense of taste).

Lay out your gluten free wrap (any wrap if fine but my judge is gluten sensitive. Also, gluten free wraps are brittle. i learn't the hard way). Fill the wraps with your mix and fold as desired. 

Spray a clean cast iron skillet with cooking spray, gently lay your wrap and keep on the stove till the wrap is a little brown / toasted. Flip the wrap over and repeat.
Put the hot cast iron skillet containing the wrap in a oven pre-heated to 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. 
This might serve as a panini press. I just need to figure out the "press" aspect. Lol.

Woollaaa! happy munching


 



 Final outcomeIngredients


As usual, I make mistakes while mixing things. I initially heated the wraps before adding the ingredients which made them brittle and not foldable. While I ate a taco version of the wrap which was in my opinion delicious, I needed to score points with the judge and presented the true wrap. Yea, you guessed right. I got a perfect score.

Eggplant lasagna

Image
Two things you can tell from reading my blog are that I love pasta and I keep looking for alternatives. So, I decided to try a low-calorie alternative in the form of eggplant lasagna. Thank God I did a thorough research on this if not, I would have ended up with eggplant soup. Flash back to a previous write-up on my "epic fail" story,  I still had some of the filling so, I thought to use it in this recipe.   (Read here:  https://myfoodshenanigans.blogspot.com/2020/05/epic-fail.html ) ,  Heart racing, I say to myself, you better come out edible. #grabsapron Alexa, play some Colbie Caillat Ingredients Eggplant Ragu sauce (or whatever sauce you like) Shredded cheese (or alternative if dairy sensitive) Minced meat sauce Method Wash and cut off the longitudinal ends of the eggplant. Thinly and evenly slice the eggplant along the longitudinal side so that it cooks evenly. Dehydrate the eggplant by baking in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. You can also use sal...

Quinoa, the quick and perfect grain

Image
I have not masticated anything today and I feel okay. However, the rumbles in my stomach say otherwise and push me to the kitchen.  #shrugs. What do I mix up today in less than 30 minutes? POOOFFF!!!!! A moment of clarity has been reached. QUINOA to the rescue.  A quarter cup of quinoa cooked in broth with some veggies will be the way to go. All macros and micros are taken care off with zero sweat and few dishes to clean. This definitely makes me happy. Dancing into the kitchen with some Abba playing at the background. Below are two of the many quinoa dishes I have made. Ingredients Quinoa Chicken broth Spices (whatever your taste buds crave) Scallions Butter (optional) Protein of choice Veggies of choice All purpose flour Egg or milk Seasoned bread crumbs Olive oil Onion Cloves of garlic Cooking spray Method Quinoa Bring water or broth to boil. Add the quinoa and let boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat, add butter, scallions or mixed veggies and let simmer till quinoa is transluc...

High protein, low carb edamame and black bean pasta.

Image
Pasta was once my go-to carb. At a point my my life, I could not go through a day without a pasta based dish. It was my addiction. Someone who knew about this decided to gift me a black squid ink pasta. Oh boy! My love for pasta could not surmount the look and high-end value of the black squid ink pasta. Isn't it amazing how psychology works? How appearance can change your perception and value of something? Imagine my reaction, walking down the aisle at the grocery store and stumbling on the black bean pasta which, just like the name, is also black in color. Of course, I eat black beans so, I grabbed it alongside the edamame based pasta. Good thing about both pasta is that they are high in protein and fiber but low in carbohydrates. However, their calorie per serving is similar to some flour based pasta. If you are active or wanting to build muscles, you may consider this as as alternative to your protein shake. Both pasta are easy to cook as you just boil it for about 10 minutes. ...
