Turnip and Leek Soup

This is my favorite low carb version of a creamy potato soup. The turnips, onions, and leeks create the perfect vegetable medley. The only spices it needs are salt, pepper, and a grate of nutmeg. Easy to make and super healthy! Pairs great with my Rosemary Pepper Crackers and Mushroom Beef recipe. Print Turnip and Leek Soup Vegetables come in a variety of shapes and sizes making it hard to give exacts. If you're using large turnips, just add less overall or add more broth to cover. This recipe turns out great a…

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.

Larb Gai

In Thailand, I ordered this Thai chicken salad all the time. Like every day. Paired with Som Tam and sticky rice it’s my absolute favorite. The pairing of mint with cilantro and the spicy chicken or pork is so good, I encourage you to try this dish. It’s a different spin on a salad and I dig it. Extra protein with tons of herbs. Doesn’t get any fresher than this! Plus, this dish tastes great cold the next day! You can re-heat it, but the mint and cilantro will wilt. Try it cold first, you’ll be surprised at how…

Rosemary Pepper Crackers

Since I’m one to eat a whole box of Simple Mills crackers in one sitting, I thought I’d share my similar homemade recipe! I think Simple Mills nailed it with their gluten free cracker line. Crispy crackers that taste good in every flavor, made with real food ingredients. My type of grub. This cracker recipe fits the bill of a salty and crunchy snack and I love the bite of pepper with the savory rosemary. A classic pairing that tastes great with a variety of flavors. Crumble these crackers into soup, use them to coat chicken tenders,…

Garam Masala Carrot Soup

This soup combo is delicious! I love the roasted carrots, onions, and ginger with the garam masala. Simple, healthy ingredients that pair beautifully. Roasting the vegetables before blending them into a soup creates a depth of flavor that you just can’t get on the stovetop. And I like to roast my veggies extra, until they develop toasty edges. This process also caramelizes the onions, which lends a nice sweetness to the soup. As for the ginger and turmeric, add a small amount. Their flavors are quite bold. But if you enjoy the bite, add extra for their immune boosting properties!…

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes you just need a proper chocolate chip cookie, made with real butter, brown sugar, and vanilla beans. After many recipe tests, I found the blend of tiger nut flour, arrowroot starch, and brown rice flour to yield the best results: a lightly sweetened, airy cookie that is crisp around the edges with a chewy center. Plus, they’re allergy free without the taste or density of nut flours! Print Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredient notes: I recommend using Anthony's tiger nut flour. It's sweeter tasting and less nutty flavored than the other…
