Thai-Inspired Stir Fry with Coconut Rice

I started my 10 day Daniel Plan Detox yesterday!  So far, So good!  I actually had a really good day yesterday and didn't miss my sweets until after dinner.  I was really worried about being hungry last night between my snack and dinner because dinner was going to be so late and all I had for snack was a Veggie Mocktail.  But, surprisingly I wasn't!  So, a good start!!

I was asked by a few people to share last night's Thai inspired stir fry.  This recipe is from The Daniel Plan which I highly recommend checking out.  I did, of course, change it just a bit, so I will provide you with the recipe that I used.  It was really yummy!

Oh yea, and the rice, that's a funny story!  I asked my 13 year old to start the rice for me while I was at therapy with my youngest.  He's been doing a lot of cooking lately. I go to the kitchen and take the lid off and the pot is obviously full of water. 

So I ask him, "How much water did you put in there?" 
His response, "A lot!" 
Me: "Did you read the directions?"
Him: "I didn't understand them."
Me: "how much rice did you put in there?"
Him: I don't know, I couldn't find a measuring cup!"

Lol

Well, surprisingly I was able to salvage the rice and it was really yummy!

Antioxidant Salad dressing

If you haven't read the book or participated in The Daniel Plan Bible study, you should!  I'm in the middle of a bible study using this book right now and am learning so much!!  The concept is how to achieve a healthy lifestyle by focusing on faith, food, fitness, focus and friends.  LOVE it!  Check it out!

In this book, they provide lots of healthy recipes that I have been experimenting with!  One of my favorites is an Antioxidant Salad dressing.  Seriously, it is SO good!  I have used it on my salads as well as quinoa dishes.  It's too good not to share, so here is the recipe:

Healthy Chocolate Chip Muffins

I've mentioned before how picky my oldest son is.  I'm always looking for healthy recipes that he may eat but I often have to get very creative.  I've really been working on getting him to eat a healthier breakfast in the morning before school. But it needed to be something quick because he gets on the bus EARLY!  When I asked him about things that he wanted for breakfast he of course mentioned chocolate chip muffins!  So, I had to come up with a way to make them somewhat healthy!  I found a few recipes on Pinterest and modified them a bit to get some protein added in and sugar taken out.  This is what I came up with!  They have been  HUGE hit with both my boys!  This is the 3rd batch I've made because they keep requesting them.  Yes, there is chocolate in them but I use chocolate chips with 70% or higher cacao.  So, not too shabby!
