So here is another healthy recipe. This one vegan and is also from the Biggest Loser Simple Swaps cookbook and is very yummy.  :) So here it is!  Sorry no picture! Print and enjoy.


Vegetarian Curry Stew


Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups finely chopped red onions
2 Tbsp finely chopped, peeled ginger
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 cup diced fire-roasted tomatoes or chopped, seeded, peeled fresh tomatoes, or tomato sauce
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom (I didn't have this and it was still yummy)
3 cups fat-free, low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 (12oz) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes (about 2 cups)
1 cup cooked black beans (you can experiment with different beans or try lentils or tofu)
1 cup cooked chickpeas
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro without stems
fresh lime wedges


In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until tender but not brown. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Do not brown the garlic.


Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, cardamom, and cinnamon and cook for about 1 minute, or until very fragrant. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the sweet potato and simmer about 4 minutes. Add the beans and chickpeas and simmer about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, sprinkled with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.


Makes 8 (1 cup) servings
(Believe it or not 1 cup is quite satisfying! Even for Justin!)

    About Me
    Amber Gurr

     I was first introduced to yoga in 2001 and quickly fell in love.  In 2004, I completed my 500 hour teacher training with D'ana Baptiste and have done annual trainings since that time with notable teachers such as Mark Whitwell, David Williams, Baron Baptiste and Rolf Gates.  I love teaching and I love seeing yoga bless both the physical and spiritual aspects of people's lives.

    I have a husband and 4 little boys, ages 9, 3, 2 and 0 that keep me busy and playing.  I decided that now is the time for me to be home with my family so now I just sub a yoga class here and there.    I also am a nutritional herbalist, herbalist, doula, have an Associates degree in music,  teach piano and do some energy readings and healing here and there. 

    I am excited to share some of the tid bits of truth that I have come across that have shaped my life thus far and hope that this sharing  will assist many others in their journey.

    Namaste!
