Over the last few years, I have seen a lot of recipes for different types of coconut chicken and curried chicken soup. Many of them require mushrooms, which I am not a big fan of, and fresh ginger which I don't always have on hand. So, eventually, I came up with my own recipe for Coconut Curry Chicken Soup that is easy to put together and you will probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry and freezer. There are some nice fresh veggies in this dish, lots of chicken and the curry and coconut flavors compliment each other so nicely, as well as the hint of ginger! It is the perfect soup to comfort you during cold winter months, or even sort of cool Phoenix days! I love my recipe because it is simple and not to spicy but extremely tasty. If you are in the mood for something a little spicier and maybe more authentic, there is a good Epicurious recipe here. But, I think you will love this recipe. Remember, you can always add more veggies or change them out for something else. Add mushrooms if you love them! I was eating a bowlful for lunch and I was thinking a few potato cubes or some rice might be nice in it. I might try that next time I make it. Enjoy!

Happy New Year everyone!! I feel like I've seen a lot of people express some great resolve for this year. I think 2020 was so hard on everyone, we're determined to make 2021 better, no matter what. Here at 3 Winks Design, we want to support you in all of your endeavors. When it comes to New Year's Resolutions, a common one is to eat healthy! Especially after the holidays we all come into the new year feeling the need to eat healthier. Whether it is a New Year or not, eating healthy helps us feel better. So, bookmark all of these healthy recipes to use throughout 2021, and may this new year be happier, and healthier, for all of us! 1. Stovetop Chicken with Quinoa This recipe is one my mom made last summer, and she STILL talks about it! She shows you how to make the quinoa perfect, and the quinoa and chicken are super tasty! Just ask my mom, she will still rave about it to you today! 2. Summer Smoothie Recipes This one is a bonus because my mom showed you a few different recipes. Smoothies are a classic healthy option. You can throw in so many fruits and vegetables. You can beef these up with some beets or spinach. It is a great way to get a few servings of fruits and veggies in your day! 3. Renny's Chicken Salad This recipe is one of my favorites. I featured it on the blog a few years ago. It really has everything you need for a flavorful and delicious chicken salad! It is packed with fruits, veggies, and nuts! Plus, instead of mayo, I used Greek yogurt! This is a fun, fresh, and delicious meal! 4. Almond Butter Chicken Wraps These Almond Butter Chicken Wraps are another favorite of mine! I showed you how to make them a few years ago on the blog. I use lettuce as a wrap, so this is the perfect recipe for anyone who is trying out a low carb/keto diet! 5. Shrimp Pesto with Zoodles In this post I showed you how to make a great shrimp pesto dish for Valentine's Day. This recipe is so light and refreshing, because the pasta is swapped out for zoodles, or, noodles made from zucchini. It cuts down on calories, and amps up the veggies! Zoodles are always a great swap in any pasta dish you want to make! 6. Apple Salmon Bake My mom made this apple salmon bake a few years ago! It is a great healthy dish! Fish is so good for you, sometimes I think about going pescatarian! I think my mom definitely could, and she loves this light, healthy dish with salmon, apples, and asparagus! 7. Home Made Beet Chips I got some fresh beets from my SIL's mom last year, and I sliced them up and tossed them in my air fryer. These beet chips are a tasty and healthy alternative to those other salty, greasy snacks out there. 8. Beef and Broccoli Bowl This beef and broccoli bowl is best served over a bed of brown rice, or even riced cauliflower to amp up the veggies! 9. Spaghetti Squash Bowl This is another great recipe with a veggie swap for pasta. Spaghetti squash is really so easy to cook and it shreds itself into a nice bowl of spaghetti squash noodles! Perfect for spaghetti night to bring up your veggies and cut those pasta calories! You don't even have to sacrifice taste to do it! 10. Zucchini Lasagna One final recipe with a veggie swap for you! Using zucchini instead of pasta noodles in your lasagna is a great way to enjoy lasagna without so much guilt. This recipe also calls for ground turkey instead of ground beef. Yes, there is still quite a bit of cheese in it, but you don't have to feel so bad about that with all the other great swaps in this recipe. It is a tasty lasagna that doesn't feel so heavy! There you have it, ten tasty, healthy dishes to take into your new year! All of us at 3 Winks wish you a healthy, happy new year, and hope these tasty healthy recipes will help you with your new year goals!

Here is another recipe that adds merit to the old saying, " Necessity is the mother of invention!" I had purchased a produce box from my local produce guys. There was a small package of quinoa inside. I had never cooked quinoa except in packaged rice and quinoa mixes and the jury was out on how I liked it. I know that it is a super food, very good for you. So, I decided to see what I could do with it. Of course, I searched the web to find out how to cook the quinoa in the best possible way. I found the answer on Cookie and Kate! I was so pleased with the results when I followed their advice! Before that, I had no idea that: #1 Quinoa has to be rinsed or it will be bitter. #2 Quinoa should pop open into little tiny spirals! Look at my bamboo stirrer! The results were spectacular, so if you want to try quinoa the way it is supposed to be cooked, go to their site! To go with the quinoa, I decided to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs that I had. I've read recently that chicken thighs are more healthy than the breasts! I don't know if that is true, but I do like the serving size of the thigh and my husband like dark meat best. I didn't want to do an oven baked chicken because of the summer heat, so I decided to try something on top of the stove. I was so pleased that it came together so quickly! I used the Crog Salt that I made and told you about on this post. If you haven't made our own yet, I listed the ingredients separately in the recipe. I also added thyme. The tomato-chicken bullion is widely available in grocery stores. My friend Neomi turned me on to it and now I use it in recipes frequently. Here are a few tips to easily make this recipe:
It is as easy as that! Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and quinoa to serve! My husband loved it and so did I! I could hardly wait to tell you about it. Here is the recipe, enjoy!

I know that in some parts of the country people are still getting hit with snowstorms, but here in Arizona the temps are heating up. I am grateful for our swimming pool, and I am also grateful for smoothies! Not only is it hot, I am pregnant, so, It's super hot. A nice cool smoothie is a great way to get the nutrients I need and not die from the heat. I love buying up frozen fruit so I can toss it into my Ninja and enjoy a nice, thick smoothie. I've made several different kinds, but this breakfast smoothie was so delicious I had to share it with you. It was so thick it was like eating sorbet, but healthier! For this delicious breakfast smoothie you will need: 1 orange, no peel 1 banana 1 cup frozen mango 1 cup frozen pineapple 1/2 frozen chopped spinach 1 cup almondmilk Toss all of those ingredients into your Ninja or your Blender, or your Bullet, or whatever you use to blend up a smoothie and blend until smooth. That's it guys! That's how easy it is to make this tasty meal! I am about to go make myself another one, so enjoy! Use our links to buy your new favorite kitchen gadget! I love my Ninja because it really gets everything so nice and smooth so quickly! Don't forget to buy it and try! Happy, healthy, breakfasting! |
