thugkitchen: You might make some friends with this shit here. Roasted strawberries and coconut flakes make this salad look classy as fuck but it’s still a choice delivery method for all that fiber and antioxidants. Make some room on your plate for this nutritious motherfucker. We did this with our friends at FoodBeast. Check their shit out. I’ve been reading dessert recipes over there for the last hour, I should probably get back to work.    ROASTED STRAWBERRY SALAD 16 medium strawberries, about 1 pound 1 teaspoon olive oil a pinch of salt ½ cup coconut flakes (you can use sliced almonds to save some cash)  ¼ cup lemon juice 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 tablespoons olive oil a big bunch of basil, chopped into thin strips, about 2/3 cup salt and pepper to taste 1 big head of lettuce (green leaf, spinach, butter, whatthefuckever kind of lettuce is fine) Warm up your oven to 400 degrees. Cut the green tops off the strawberries and throw that shit out.  Slice the berries in half lengthwise. Toss them in a bowl with the teaspoon of olive oil and salt. Mix that shit up good so everything is coated. Put the strawberries cut side down on a cookie sheet. I hate doing dishes so I usually cover the cookie sheet with foil or something because the strawberries can release some juice and it’s annoying as fuck to clean. Roast the strawberries for 10 minutes. Throw the coconut flakes in their own section on the cookie sheet and then roast them at the same time for 3 more minutes or until the coconut looks toasted. Let everything cool the fuck down to about room temperature. Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, and oil in a small glass.  Toss the lettuce and the basil in a big bowl and add as much of the dressing, salt, and pepper as you like. Make sure everything is coated and then put the strawberries and coconut flakes on top.  Arrange that shit so it looks nice. If you don’t feel like fucking with the oven then just leave the strawberries raw. I don’t give a shit JUST EAT A FUCKING SALAD or 10. Serve 4 people as a side or 1 jolly green giant

thugkitchen: THROWBACK THURSDAY UP IN THIS BITCH. I was saving this recipe for my upcoming cookbook but you guys said FUCK THAT. So here is the most requested recipe, The Thug Kitchen RCB Burrito. ROASTED CHICKPEA & BROCCOLI BURRITO 3 cups of cooked chickpeas  (2-15 ounce cans, drained) 1 large yellow onion 1 red bell pepper 1 large crown of broccoli 4 cloves of garlic 1 lime Spice Blend: 3 tablespoons olive oil 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce, tamari, or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (You can usually find this old school hippie shit near the vinegars or soy sauces in the healthy eating section of most big grocery stores and on the internet) 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander or more cumin if you don’t want to go to the store black pepper or cayenne pepper to taste   Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Chop up the onion, bell pepper, and broccoli so that all the pieces about the size of a chickpea. Chop up the garlic real small but save that shit until later. Place all the chopped up veggies in a large bowl with the cooked chickpeas. Pour in the oil and soy sauce, stir, and then throw all the spices in there. Mix until all the vegetables and shit are covered.   Put all of that on a large rimmed baking sheet (like what you would put cookies on but with an edge) and bake for 20 minutes. Take it out of the oven, don’t fucking burn yourself, add the garlic, and bake for another 15 minutes. The broccoli will look a little burnt at this point but that is the plan so chill the fuck out and take it out of the oven. Squeeze the juice of half of the lime over the pan and stir the roasted chickpeas and veggies all around. Taste some and see if it needs more spices or anything. Now make a fucking burrito. I like mine with spinach, avocado, cilantro, and some fire roasted salsa but you do your thing. makes 6-8 burritos

realityofhealthy: I’m reading The Blood Sugar Solution by Mark Hyman — I highly recommend it!  In a nutshell, the book tells us that too much sugar and white flour causes insulin resistance, and insulin resistance is responsible for weight gain and a host of other diseases. The foods we eat change which genes are expressed. Bad foods express genes that cause diseases and weight gain, good foods prevent diseases and weight loss. Note: I know this is #226 and it’s been posted late! I had some trouble deciding if I had enough time to write an article to go with this, and thanks to my ballroom competition (fun but time consuming) I didn’t. photo by Vox Efx
