Spicy Peanut Tofu Stir Fry

Spicy & Nutty Thai Stir Fry

This week at Chew's Healthy, I was invited over for a small dinner party pot luck, and I didn't know what to bring. I haven't done a stir fry in a while, and it's pretty safe to say that everyone likes thai food, so I thought this recipe was a perfect match for party. This dish is loaded with vibrant veggies and a spicy and nutty thai inspired flavour. It also contains grilled marinated tofu cubes, or shall I say rectangular prisms, hah.

After all was said and eaten, my dish was a big success with a ton of compliments. This hearty recipe contains: organic brocoli, carrots, green cabbage, yellow onions, kale, baby bok choy, snap peas, red and green peppers, and organic tofu. The sauce is made from scratch which contains: peanut butter, organic raw honey, lime juice, reduced sodium soy sauce, and sriracha sauce.

Let's start cooking!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

Rolled Oats with Dark Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Flax Seed

This week at Chews Healthy, I was itching to make another dessert. As a connoisseur of peanut butter, it was a no brainer to make these delicious balls of goodness. This recipe is packed with rolled oats, ground flax seed, organic raw honey, peanut butter, and dark chocolate. What's not to love, seriously?

Since this blog is dedicated to health, it is important to note that although all of the ingredients in this recipe are healthy for you, it's not recommended to eat a full batch of these in one sitting! They are recommended to eat in place of an energy or granola bar.

This recipe is super easy to make as it requires no baking or cooking. Simply mix, roll, indulge. Anyways, let's get started!

Spicy Thai Curry Kale Chips

Spicy Thai Curry with Lime and crushed Peanut flavoured Kale Chips

This week at Chews Healthy we decided to make Spicy Thai Curry Kale Chips. In the past I have made them before, but I had only followed traditional recipes. Although the usual "bake
with olive oil, salt and pepper" is tasty, I questioned myself why limit myself on one flavour? So I ended up experimenting a little, and after a few failed attempts I ended up with this spicy Thai inspired concoction.

This recipe is inspired by the flavours of Thailand which consists of lime, curry, peanuts, ginger, and spices. This crispy snack is a great way to fulfill all your potato chip cravings except that there shouldn't be any associated guilt in eating them! After all, kale is a nutritional powerhouse! According to WebMD.com :

"Kale is a Nutritional Powerhouse. One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus."

Anyways, enough about how healthy and tasty kale is; it's time to read less and eat more. Let's get started:

Who Said Leftovers Needs To Suck? Dill-Lemon Pasta Salad

Dill-Lemon Pasta Salad

This week at Chews Healthy, I was scavenging through my fridge  looking to munch on a snack, when I realized that nothing looked very appealing. I for one am never in the mood to eat leftovers, they just never taste as good as they do when you first make them. So this got me thinking, why not make a dish that tastes even better after a day or two in the fridge.

Today we will be making a Lemon-Dill Pasta Salad! This dish is loaded with nutrients and flavour it contains; whole wheat farfalle pasta, avocado, goat cheese feta, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, kale, red pepper, onion, dill, lemon and garlic. What's not to love, seriously.

So let's get started!
