Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, blackberry jam, hoisin, sesame oil, olive oil, garlic, onion and crushed red pepper flakes, and then pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on LOW for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is fully cooked. Strain chicken a bit out of crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Transfer the liquids from the slow cooker into a small saucepan set over medium-high heat and whisk in the slurry. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook it until it reduces and has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken, tossing to combine.
Cook couscous and put on bottom of dish. Layer on top spinach, carrots, and sliced cabbage. Add chicken, garnish chicken with scallions and sesame seeds (sunflower seeds too).

Red Pepper
Scallions
Black olives
Fresh Parsley
Fresh Dill
Cucumber
Carrot sticks
Lemon
Pepper
Salt
Olive Oil
Directions:
Cook wild rice. Put in big bowl and just add other ingredients as desired. Add olive oil and lemon juice. Notes to self since I made it: Chop cucumber smaller, and add more red pepper. Don't be shy with lemon juice. Make sure to chop up the parsley and dill VERY small.
Ingredients:
Pasta
Black olives
Red onion
Red pepper
Broccoli tops
Grated carrots
Pepperoni
Italian dressing
red pepper flakes
pepper
garlic powder
Oregano
Serve with: Cheese, lettuce or kale while served for more of salad
Directions:
While pasta is cooking, cut up veggies and toss in bowl, but keep broccoli to the side. Throw hot pasta onto veggies when done and let sit a few minutes. I've noticed this helps to suck more flavor out of those veggies but makes the broccoli a bit soggy. Add broccoli on top. Sprinkle with seasoning of your choice, I prefer the ones I listed, add dressing and stir up. Refrigerate and serve.
Ingredients:
Jasmine rice
Some kind of chicken (strips, popcorn, grilled, etc.)
Spinach leaves/lettuce/kale/etc.
Sesame ginger dressing
Sunflower seeds
Flax seeds
Chow Mein noodles
Directions:
Put it all together however you like. I tend to put the spinach around the outside, rice in middle with chicken on top and all drizzled with the dressing and sprinkled with seeds.
