summer veg

It’s always great to feast on produce that is in season.  It is summer and ’tis the season for zucchini, bell peppers, and fresh corn.  This is one of my favorites, from  Bizarra Capital in Uptown Whittier.  So yummy!  For you locals, it is the same owners as Cook’s Tortas in Monterey Park and Guisados Tacos in East LA (where this comes in taco form also!)  🙂   They are all great spots.  Unfortunately, they don’t have websites.

honeydew nectarine

My friend gave me this really good piece of fruit.  To me, it taste like a nectarine, but sweeter. I really love it.  She said she has it on a tree in her background, but doesn’t know what kind of fruit is.  I tried to look it up on the internet.  I think it might be a honeydew nectarine.  Not a  cross breed of a nectarine/honeydew, but actually a breed of several types of nectarines.  Can anyone identify it?

fiesta roll up

Posted by Jennifer (the RD) on July 17, 2013

This is a recipe that I tried out for the dialysis patients that I work with.  This was taken directly from the davita website, www.davita.com   It is lower in phosphorus than a quesadilla and is also a lower potassium choice.  It’s really simple to make.  You could also use tomato or spinach tortillas for yourself (I did not due to their higher potassium content which would not be appropriate for this specific patient population).

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 oz. canned chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 4 TB green  onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 6 flour tortillas, 8″ size

PREPARATION:

  1. Combine green chiles, spices and green onions in a bowl.
  2. Blend in softened cream cheese.
  3. Spread thin layer of cream cheese mixture on each tortilla, leaving 1/4″ edge uncovered.
  4. Roll tortillas up like a jelly roll.  Use toothpick to secure rolls.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  6. Slice rolls into 1″ pieces and serve as a snack or appetizer

dirtycola0001

I usually never drink soft drinks but it has been so hot lately and I was getting tried of my usually water, coffee and tea. So I have been trying some sodas sweetened with Stevia to see if I liked them and I did find a cola I liked. Once I came across this recipe and I had to try it. I really like it; it reminds me of a coke float just not as rich.

Adapted from Our Best Bite

Ingredients: 

For 1 large serving or divided into 2 servings

  • 2 tsp vanilla syrup
  • crushed ice
  • ½ lime
  • 12 oz diet cola
  • 1-2 TBSP half and half

Instructions:

  1. Pour vanilla syrup into the bottom of a 24-ounce glass.
  2. Fill glass with crushed ice, about halfway.
  3. Squeeze the lime over the ice.
  4. Pour the diet cola over the ice.
  5. Top with half and half.
  6. Stir and enjoy.

What beverages have you been enjoying this summer?

Posted by Jennifer (The RD) on July 3,2013

I make this fried rice because it’s easy, and I can make it super fast. I know that pork products are really popular in fried rice, but I use flavored ground turkey.  🙂

INGREDIENTS:

½ lb. extra lean ground turkey

1 egg

¼ cup diced onion

1 tsp. fresh ground ginger

1 TB canola oil

2 tsp. soy sauce

1 orange bell pepper, diced

1 carrot, sliced extra thin

½ cup frozen peas

1 package frozen Jasmine and red/black rice from Fresh and Easy

Salt and pepper to taste

  • Cook rice according to package directions.
  • Add 1 ½ tsp. oil to a medium skillet and heat with ¾ tsp. ground ginger for about 20-30 seconds on medium heat.  Add the ground turkey, onion, and soy sauce and heat until thoroughly cooked.  Remove from heat and save for later.
  • Scramble the egg and set aside with the ground turkey.
  • Add another 1 ½ tsp. oil  1nd ¼ tsp. ginger to the pan and sauté the carrots and pepper until barely tender.  Add back the turkey and egg and mix together.  Then, add the rice.  When all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add the frozen peas and incorporate until they are warmed through.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
