No flour Blueberry Muffins

2 eggwhites, 
.5 cup blueberries, 
1 banana, 
2 tsp honey, 
.5 tsp baking powder

Mixed together and pour on muffin things
Bake at 350 for 20mins-30mins

Quinoa Macaroons

3 egg whites
2-3 tbs honey
1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup cooked quinoa

Mix egg whites and honey in a heatproof bowl.
Begin by tempering the eggs, which will create a nice crispy cookie exterior. Place the bowl over a pot with boiling water inside and whisk the eggs and honey together until creamy and warm. Test with your finger - if they’re warm to the touch, they’re tempered.
When the egg and honey mixture is warm to the touch, take the bowl off the heat and mix in coconut, quinoa and salt.
Chill in the fridge for at least two hours.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a non-stick baking mat or double parchment paper (the bottoms are sensitive and will burn easily).
Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop the coconut quinoa dough onto the baking sheet. You will probably need to form the cookies into little round half domes with your fingers, pressing them together tightly so they are sure to stick together while baking.
Bake in the center of a warm oven for 15 minutes until the cookies are nice and golden brown.
Let them cool for at least 10 minutes or until completely cooled. Enjoy!

1.5 - 2 lbs chicken breasts.
1 28 oz can of DOP (san marzano) tomatoes. I know they are expensive. It is worth it. Best tomatoes in the world

6 cloves really finely minced or grated garlic.
1/4 cup grated ginger.
2 lemons
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tbs sugar
1 tbs cayenne
1 tbs paprika
1/2 tspn fenugreek
1 tspn garam masala
1/2 to a little more heavy cream
4 tbs olive oil
3 tbs butter
1 tspn salt

Cut the breast on a diagonal into 3 pieces per. Lay out on parchment and cover. Pound to just less than a 1/2 inch. Salt and pepper. Marinade the chicken in the yogurt, lemon juice, 1/2 the ginger and garlic and a tbs of oil.  Let marinade for an hour or two.

Put the tomatoes and sugar in the blender and puree.

Grill the chicken. Dont overly char it, but, some is good.

Butter and 2 tbs of oil in a large pan. Bring to medium heat. Add onion. Sweat. Add rest of ginger and garlic. Sweat. Add 2 tbs of tomato paste. Saute for 3 -4 minutes. Add tomato puree. Add paprika, cayenne, garam masala and salt. Bring to medium heat, reduce to simmer.

Chop grilled chicken into slightly larger than biteable pieces.

Add to the pan after 15 mins of simmering.

After 5 minutes add cream and fenugreek. Continue to simmer 15 - 20 mins.

Make rice somewhere in there...

Server over rice.

I think that is it. Enjoy.
