Love to Grill? Pass on the Carcinogens!
A client asked: “If I marinate chicken with skin and cook on grill with skin, but don’t eat skin – is that a lot worse for us that if I marinate without and cook without. It is so much more tender to occasionally do with skin.”
Simple Turkey Lettuce Wraps
This is one of my go-to recipes for a quick meal that I know my family will eat. I consider lettuce wraps a basic recipe that everyone should master. This recipe uses what I call “Critical Cooking Skills” and is an example of what I’m working on for a new e-Cookbook. Using Critical Cooking Skills you can modify this recipe by changing the veggies, the protein, adding a whole grain like quinoa or brown rice. You can also adjust the flavors with coconut milk, organic tamari sauce, fish sauce or spice blend.
By learning Critical Cooking Skills and building upon those skills, you will be able to make a variety different dinners just by varying the recipe based on what you have in your pantry and what you feel like cooking.

In line with this month’s challenge, Try Something New, try this spiced poached fish dish. I often encourage my clients to eat more fish and to cook with more spices. Spices are powerful plant-based compounds that provide potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. Plus, cooking with more spices expands the flavor profile of your kitchen.
There isn’t a health, wellness or medical condition that isn’t benefited by squelching chronic inflammation. Most recently, I was talking with a client who may have endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition of high estrogen, due to excess aromatse. Aromatase is an enzyme that controls estrogen production. Inflammation “turns on” the gene that produces aromatase and consequently inflammation contributes to higher estrogen production. Thus, one way to reduce aromatase and estrogen, in an estrogen dominant health condition, is to turn down inflammation with anti-inflammatory foods. Food is simply amazing. Continue reading
