Instagram Inspired Dinner

 






I recently found two new Instagram accounts that I love.... 


The Davis Standard

The Jiniga

I went on a deep dive and they have lots of great health and wellness tips and some clean eating ideas. I love seeing what Jessica Lee’s adorable 73 year old mom, Yong Lee, eats for longevity. Three things they mentioned that I tried tonight…


Unagi – buy frozen from the Asian market, heat with garlic and green onion

(see this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DMx4w3sg9Cj/)


Gaba rice – I purchased the organic Gaba rice that they recommended, lots of health benefits listed for this type of rice


Mung bean sprouts – I bought these and added them to my snow peas that I sauted in garlic and butter with a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil

 

And then I added some asparagus and Barrett Prendergast’s Garlic Healing Broth. Recipe here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B82SytgJeDZ/


Perfect and healthy dinner. 




Jacques Pépin's Chicken Thighs with Garlic Spinach

 


My friend Larry told me about this amazing recipe for Jacques Pépin's Chicken Thighs with Garlic Spinach. It’s been in my regular rotation now for over a year. It’s quick, easy, and delicious.
