I'm in the Kitchen

Welcome to Madre's Kitchen! I am so glad you visited my blog about cooking and all things healthy. I am a cook, not a chef. One of my hearts desires is to hit the road when disaster strikes and feed people a home cooked meal. First, however, I need a portable kitchen! Home cooked relief can bring healing on many levels. Since my breast cancer, food awareness has helped me to discover and apply a more healthy lifestyle for myself. It has taught me to promote better healing and health through treatments. I will be sharing that information here too. Thank you for visiting and enjoy!

A Nutty Way for Healthy Leftovers

This is a great way to make a one dish meal with leftovers and a few additives.  Not your every day variety additives, more along the lines of pecans and apples.
Last night we had sautéed brussel sprouts, sweet potato with onion, ground cloves and other spices
I sautee'd onion again and added the sweet potato mix and chopped leftover Honey Baked Ham, grilled Shiitake mushroom, leftover long grain brown rice.

Then I let about 1/2 cup pecans roast in pan pushing sweet potato mix to one side of pan. Mixed.  Then took fresh spinach about 6 bunches rinsed and put the full leaves into mix

Then it just sounded really good to take two small red delicious apples cored and sliced in O's and mixed.

I added more ground cloves and Savory Spice Shop's Brown Sugar & Spice Honey Ham Rub into the mix.
I am usually making up what sounds like it would taste good in my mouth.  It is almost as if I can taste it in my mouth as I am cooking it before I actually taste it.
A nutty way of doing it perhaps but it shed leftovers in a whole new light.
