bohoEATS…Healthy inspired Spanish rice…It's ALL GOOD Gwyneth Paltrow

I have been so IN LOVE with Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook, It's All Good i have literally made almost everything in it!  bohoSarah told me about the blog, For the Love Of and she talks about how Gwyneth made her do it & shares her trials of cooking from the cookbook!  You can follow her on Instagram.

  Here is one of my favs: Spanish Rice-I use Skinny Rice.  i LOVE the red/green colors- Recipe from It's All Good by Gwyneth Paltrow

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1 14-ounce can of whole peeled Organic BPA Free can Tomatoes
1/2 organic yellow onion, peeled and roughly chopped
2 organic garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil-sometimes i only use 1 1/2 tablespoons
1 cup organic long grain brown rice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 c organic frozen peas
2 tablespoons of cilantro, roughly chopped

Combine the tomatoes with the onion, garlic & salt in a blender and puree until smooth.  Add enough water so you have 2 1/2 cups of liquid and set it aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick heavy saucepan over high heat.  Add rice and cook until rice turns opaque and smells nutty, about 3 minutes.  Stir in Tomato Paste, so the paste really gets into the rice.  Add the reserved tomato mixture and bring whole thing to a boil.  Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer until rice is cooked all the way through, about 45 minutes.  Take the pot off the heat, uncover it, throw peas on the top, cover again and let the rice sit for 10 minutes.  Remove the lid and stir in cilantro.  ENJOY!

bohoEATS… Healthy Crispy Fish Sticks

I have been OBSESSING over It's All Good by the gorgeous Gwyneth Paltrow this past month.  i made these fish sticks and the babies LOVED them!  i also used the same recipe with chicken strips and they were awesome.  So, if you are craving some crunch and crispiness then try these!

Recipe from It's All Good, by Gwyneth Paltrow.

1/4 c Soy Free Organic Vegenaise
2 tablespoons coarse seeded mustard
1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
1 c plain gluten-free bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasonings
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 flounder or mild white fish, we used halibut cut into 3 inch fingers
olive oil spray
lemon wedges for serving

Preheat Oven to 450 degrees F and set on convection, if available.  Line A baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Whisk together the Vegenaise and the mustards in a mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread crumbs, Old Bay & Salt.  Coat the fish fingers with the mustard mixture, then Dredge them in the bread crumb mixture, tapping off any excess.  Lay the fish fingers on the prepared baking sheet.  Spray lightly with olive oil spray, turn fish fingers, and lightly spray the other side.  Bake for 8 minutes, then turn the oven to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes until desired crunchiness.  If you don't have a broil option, just bake them for 10 minutes total.  Serve immediately with lemon.

* i froze the chicken strips- just bread them, put in an airtight, lined container and bake off.
