...Like the song... I sing these combos in my head daily... what's for dinner? Try (in order of cooking) some of my greatest low-cal cooking combos that are usually sitting in your kitchen cabinet or in your fridge. If you possess these items, you can (I shall help you) figure out dinner that doesnt require microwaving. If this wets your culinary appetite, my absolute favorite non-cooking cookbook, The Flavor Bible, will change your foodie language and mentality forever. It's the best.
P.S. always remember to spank your food with S&P- salt and pepper- just don't go crazy- balance not flavor!
1. olive oil, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine, chicken stock (or veggie)
Great with: chicken, shrimp, shellfish, pasta
2. sesame oil, ginger, garlic, low sodium tamari (can sub with low-sodium soy sauce), mirin, rice wine vinegar
Great with: salmon, shrimp, chicken, veggies
3. olive oil, red pepper flakes, yellow onion, garlic, white wine, canned diced tomatoes
Great with: shellfish, pasta, white fish, chicken
4. dijon mustard, whole grain dijon mustard, maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, olive oil
Great with: salmon (bake or broil) chicken (marinate and bake or grill)
5. garlic, shallot, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil
Great with: salads (as a vinaigrette), chicken (marinate and grill), shrimp (marinate and saute or grill)
Stay tuned for the best proportions (please do not pour equal parts of all of these into a bowl, mix, and hope for happiness- there are methods to the madness) in which to create deliciousness.
ENJOY!
