3 posts ago, I made a reference to an article from Dr. Oz and how it was mentioned that berries can assist with stress reduction & management. So from a mention, here is a recipe that highlights strawberries and that first important meal of the day – breakfast!

A Porridge & Strawberries & a bit of cream …

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup coarse chop strawberries
  • 4 tbsp cream (can go half & half)
  • a few tbsp brown sugar

Assembly:

  1. In medium saucepan, combine 4 cups water, the oats, and a pinch of salt – bring to a simmer over medium to high heat.
  2. Reduce the heat, to keep a low simmer, cover and cook the mixture stirring occasionally until the oats are tender (20-30 minutes).
  3. Spoon the porridge in bowls, top each bowl with 1/4 cup strawberries and some cream and a pinch of sugar.

Enjoy!

Happy kitchening, cooking & cuisine!

Most of the beef that I get comes from a farm – so if you also have that insider track or you have stored beef in the freezer pre-beef recall from certain stores and meat-packing places then let’s get into this recipe!

In this recipe, a Korean-styled beef dish, the beef will be easier to cut into thin slices if it is partially frozen.

Serves 3 to 4 – goes with other dishes.

Ingredient list:

  • 500g beef or 1 pound beef steak (sirloin or other), finely sliced
  • 4 green onions, chopped about 1 inch or 2.54 cm in length

Marinade –

  • 60 ml or 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 30 ml or 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 15 ml or 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 30 ml or 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 garlic clove, finely sliced
  • 5 ml or 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pepper flakes to taste

Putting it together:

  1. Prepare the marinade, mixing all the ingredients together. Pour over the sliced beef, cover and marinate at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Drain the beef mix well and cook with the green onions over high heat in a wok or skillet until you get the desired texture and amount of donness in the meat.
