All my food comes out , but I'll still contribute.


1 Bottle of chicken broth
1 can of tomatoes
Lots of seasonings
Lots of vegetables

Edible veggie soup.


Cut up vegetables into large chunks (makes for better texture). I used broccoli, eggplant, zucchini, spinach, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, bell pepper, and green beans. You can use any vegetables you want. Put them to the side.
Heat the pot to medium-high then add oil, and let it heat for a bit. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic to the pan (and any other very hard vegetables). Cook for a while then add seasonings. I used salt, pepper, parsley flakes, paprika, ground red pepper (makes it very spicy), and a few others. Cook that for a few more minutes then add the reduced sodium chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. TASTE the broth. If it doesn't taste like you want it to add more seasonings until it does. If the broth is nasty the soup will be nasty. Add the rest of the vegetables and canned tomatoes and cook on low for about 2.5 hours.

Chicken Alfredo penne pasta

What you need:
Boneless skinless chicken breast
Penne pasta
Alfredo sauce
Coconut oil

Directions:
Cook the pasta (directions should be on the back of the package), then drain it.
Cook the chicken ( i use coconut oil and I like to cook the chicken a little, then take it out of the pan and chop it up, then finish cooking it)
Add the pasta to the chicken once it's done, then add the sauce and mix it all up, then its done!

I usually have this with a salad and maybe garlic bread.

I make basic shyt like chili

Chili is easy and quick to make. I make mine with ground turkey, since ground beef is so expensive now. Or you can use ground pork. I mix in chili beans, dark red kidney beans, black beans, and chili ready tomatoes. Williams Chili seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic salt to taste. If you want spaghetti chili, just add spaghetti noodles-it helps to stretch your dish if your wallet is a little tight.

I just wrote this out y'all I might have to tweak it

Lemon Caper Shrimp Wheat Spaghetti

I used 2 bags of 12 oz large shrimp.

Tip: When I use store shrimp, I thaw them in water. I drain and rinse them like twice and brine them with salt sugar water for like 10 min or in whatever seasoning with.

2 large lemons juiced or 3, I have a taste for tart things...

2 tbsp of capers

1-3 cloves of garlic sliced or 2-3 table spoons of minced garlic (median is 2 it’s preference)

2 tbsp of unsalted butter

1 tbsp of olive oil

1 bx of cooked wheat spaghetti

10-20 oz of fresh spinach ( one or 2 bags its preference)

1 cup of white wine

Salt pepper garlic and onion powder to taste.

2 tbsp of dried parsley optional

The first thing I did after a peeled and rinsed the shrimp was season it with salt and pepper lemon juice and dried parsley and put it to the side. (usually I would add Cajun seasoning to it but I wanted a lighter taste)

In large skillet over medium heat melt butter and add olive oil. Add garlic, be sure to keep an eye on it to make sure it burn stir it around. then a capers sauté' for 2 minutes.

Add shrimp to skillets and half of lemon juice. Once shrimp is mostly pink add white wine, spices and other half of lemon juice. cook down. about 5 or 6 min

Add pasta and spinach toss and let cook for 10 more minutes. I usually add another tbsp of butter, sprinkle of salt and more lemon juice. To keep calories and fat down skip adding more butter and salt.

Oven Baked Jerk Chicken Legs

Ingredients

• I lime or lemon
• 8 chicken legs or 2 ½ - 3-pound chicken cut up
• 2 teaspoons creole seasoning ( replace with salt and pepper or chicken spice)
• 1 or more Scotch Bonnet Pepper (Habaneros)
• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• ½ tablespoon cinnamon powder
• ½ tablespoon allspice coarsely ground
• ½ teaspoon coarsely ground white pepper
• ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 3 medium scallions, chopped
• 1 sprig of fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 1-tablespoon bouillon powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

1. Trim chicken of excess fat and pat dry with a cloth or paper napkin. Rub with lemon, and 2 teaspoons creole spice or season with salt and pepper
2. Heat oil in a skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Then add scotch bonnet pepper, garlic sauté until it turns brown about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add nutmeg, brown sugar, all spice, cinnamon and continue stirring until the sugar melts and the mixture starts to clump together.
4. Remove from the heat and let it cool
5. Place the mixture in a food processor or blender, then add, thyme, white pepper, ginger,green onions, soy sauce, Maggi/bouillon, and onion. Pulse for about 30 seconds until blended
6. Drench the chicken with jerk marinate, place in a zip lock bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Try not to touch the jerk blend with your hands because it extremely spicy hot- If possible use gloves.
7. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 425°. Remove chicken from the jerk marinade and remove excess marinate. Reserve the marinade
8. Line a baking pan with foil; top with a wire rack. Arrange chicken legs out in a single layer. While the chicken legs are baking oil will slowly drip to the bottom of the baking pan.
9. Bake chicken legs until cooked through and skin is crispy, about 45-50 minutes-rotate chicken half way through-roughly 20 minutes.
10. In a small saucepan simmer the remaining jerk marinade and the one from the chicken for about 7 minutes. Serve with chicken or mix with chicken serve with beans and rice featured here
