Using my favorite pastry dough recipe (the same used in the apple tart) this free form fruit tart has become another staple of mine. Very easy to make and the combination of fruits are endless. This is another cheat day recipe so no calories calculated! I must say I often enjoy making the cheat day foods more than the 300 calorie meals, perhaps that's why I'm stalled in my weight loss!
Ingredients
Pastry Dough:
2 C flour
2 pinches of salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
12 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk
1 grated lemon rind
3-6 Tbsp. ice water
Additional:
1 Tbsp. sugar for sprinkling on dough
Pastry Filling:
1 Pound nectarines
1 Cup fresh blueberries
3-5 Tbsp. sugar (on fruit)
1Tbsp. vanilla extract
This was one of the first videos we ever shot and we are finally releasing it. I was trying not to post yet another cheat day! This is a very simple and easy recipe of sauteed chicken breast with lemon juice and capers, string beans and quinoa. I have finally documented that 1/4 cup of dry quinoa cooked provides about two servings - making the addition of this seed (yes it's a seed, not a grain) only about 85 calories per serving in addition to it's other rich nutrients.
Ingredients
Chicken Breasts (serving size 4oz)
Green Beans (serving size 3.5oz)
1/4 C dry Quinoa (cooked = 2 servings)
Capers (serving size about 1Tbsp)
