Roasted Garlic Italian Sourdough Bagels

I've taken a real interest in everything sourdough.  I really like the sourdoughhoe (She's a bit irreerent and sometimes throws in a word or two, but I love her bagels). I'm also following another girl that I'm learning a lot from.  I think it's called earlyriser.  This recipe is super yummy and easy enough. I just use jarred minced garlic, olive oil, salt, on a piece of foil in the toaster oven for about 15-20 minutes.    I love to use these bagels for sandwiches.  I only make them 140g. in weight so they're a bit smaller. Bagel Dough - 332g active sourdough starter - 464 g water -1112g bread flour - 55.5g raw cane sugar - 55.5g pure maple syrup - 22g salt - 10g Italian seasoning - 66g roasted garlic Roasted Garlic (make first + cool completely) - 66g garlic (about 3 whole heads) - Olive oil (enough to lightly coat) - Pinch of salt Bagel Method 1.

Southwestern Fiesta Chicken

Found this on pinterest the other day and lately I've been on the lookout for healthy, quick recipes and this fit the bill.  It goes together pretty quickly and I like to put it on top of a salad to make it even healthier. 1. 1 c. white rice (I always keep already cooked rice in the freezer so it goes even quicker)           don't do this next part if your rice is already cooked but do add the lime, salt, and cilantro to your       recipe. 2. 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces 3. 3-4 cloves garlic, minced 4. 1 can black beans, drained 5. 1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel (I used original...its a bit spicy at first till you put it on salad, or use mild.) 6. 1 avocado, diced  7. 2 c. corn 8. 2 c. diced bell peppers (about 3) 9. 2 c. diced onion 10.olive oil 11.1 envelope taco seasoning  While rice is cooking, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.

Better-Than-Takeout Cashew Chicken

I was just playing around on Pinterest again mostly looking for some healthier options or dinner that were quick to fix and found this one.  Dan gave it a thumbs up so I am putting it on the blog.  I opted not to add the bag of edamame because I'm not a fan of soy anything. You could probably add any veggie you want in addition to these. Stir-fry: 3 Tblsp. cornstarch 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper about 1.25 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into 1-inch pieces 2 Tblsp. sesame oil 1 Tblsp. olive oil 2 heaping cups broccoli florets 1 c. red bell peppers diced small 1 c. shelled frozen edamame 2 cloves garlic finely chopped 1 c. unsalted dry-roasted whole cashews 1 c. green onions diced Sauce: 3 Tblsp. soy sauce 2 Tblsp. honey or to taste 1 Tblsp. rice vinegar 1 Tblsp. Asian chili garlic sauce (this is spicy...I only use 1 tsp.) 3/4 tsp. ground ginger 1. To a gallon-sized bag, add the cornstarch, salt, pepper, chicken and seal and shake to coat chicken evenly. 2. To a l...
