Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Salad

This chilled salad is one of my favorites. Full of colorful vegetables, fresh herbs, and big on Mediterranean flavor. I’m obsessed with the Seggiano Grilled Artichoke Hearts and anytime I can add them to something, I do. And nothing beats their flavor in this salad. They pair perfectly with Italian seasoned bbq chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, rice pasta, basil, parsley, olive oil, and some lemon…. my mouth is watering already. I love this recipe and I hope you and your family do too! Print Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Salad This recipe makes a large batch,…

Slow Cooked Korean Beef

This is my healthier version of Korean beef. Most recipes call for sugar to balance the garlic, ginger, and green onions, but I find it much too sweet. Instead I use the slow cooking process to reduce the coconut aminos, vinegar, and onions. This caramelization creates a sweet flavor, without the addition of sugar. And since I like my Korean beef on the more savory side, I also add mushroom powder to enhance the flavors. Any blend of ground shiitake or porcini mushrooms will work great (recipe coming soon). Or use Nom Nom Paleo’s Magic Mushroom Powder.

Holiday Recipes 2018

2018 – the year I was bit by the baking bug. I’ve always loved to bake, but this year, things came together. My friend Megan introduced me to King Arthur’s GF All Purpose Baking Flour and BOOM. Finally, recipes started behaving and tasting as they should! Thank you Megan and the King! You’re a huge inspiration 💗 Very happy to have found a gluten free flour that can be subbed measure for measure for regular flour. It really is a game changer. I can sub it for savory dishes or sweet treats and both turn out great!…

Grass-fed Burger Patties

In light of our fully stocked deep freezer, I thought I’d share my grass-fed burger patty recipe! We just purchased a 1/4 of a cow from the Vegas Coop and the majority is ground beef. Which provides a lot of recipe options: meatballs, marinara, casseroles, shepherd’s pie, stir-fries, chilies, soups, and these burger patties! Grass-fed beef has a different cooking profile than grain-fed, feedlot beef. It’s leaner, so it cooks faster and dries out quickly. To remedy this, I add an egg yolk (sometimes two) and onion. The egg yolk adds fat and…

Slow Cooked Mushroom Beef

One of my favorite ways to enjoy protein is slow cooked with flavorful sauce. And this mushroom beef is at the top of my list. The low and slow cooking process tenderizes the beef beautifully, thickens the rich mushroom sauce, and creates a melt in your mouth protein that’s full of flavor. No wonder I’ve made this recipe three times in the past week. It’s delicious, filled with protein, stores easily, tastes great when re-heated, and pairs well with a variety of vegetables and starches. It’s quickly becoming one of my meal prep staples.
