Meat and Potatoes! I love you. My favorite is probably this classic beef stew, or maybe pot roast, barbacoa short ribs, chicken stew with mashies, or steaks and frites… okay any type of braised beef. With potatoes. And spices. Love it all. And I will say this – I was a vegetarian for several years and we are trying to eat less meat in our...
Time to Make the Perfect Pot Roast! You know I love meat and potatoes. Classic beef stew, chicken stew with mashies and the perfect pot roast! Cooked in wine and broth with carrots and potatoes. Served with homemade gravy and mashies. Just yum! I’ve done it in the slow cooker many times, but it is so much better cooked in a Dutch oven if you’ve...
Summer Salads One of my favorite gifts from my in-laws back in the day, was alot of the most delicious balsamic vinegars and olive oils from Con’ Olio! We made a ton of really great salads when I was into eating alot of kale salads! And lately, I’ve been on the hunt for some really good vinegars again, because all we feel like eating right...
Gluten-Free Cherry Nectarine Crumble I LOVE summer fruit. Especially, stone fruits like cherries, nectarines, peaches, apricots, and plums. The abundance of summer fruit is awesome. But sometimes I can’t eat it all before it starts to really ripen. But that has actually turned into the best part. Because that is when it is perfect for making a fruit crumble or healthy sorghum millet muffins. I’ve...
Fried Smashed Fingerling Potatoes So these fried smashed fingerling potatoes were a very happy accident. Super crispy fried potatoes with a soft center, sprinkled with smoked paprika and fresh cilantro then served with Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayo. It was so good! Originally published July 1, 2019. Like a cross between a potato chip and French fries. These would be great to serve at a BBQ...
For the Love of Soup I really love soup. Any time of the year, I will have soup on my mind. When it is cold, it is warming and nourishing. When it is hot, if you pick the right soup, it is light but filling and so tasty. You get so many nutrients and fiber, which are easy to digest. Some of my favorite Austin...
These delicious healthy gluten-free and dairy-free apricot raspberry muffins are made with coconut sugar, olive oil, sweet white sorghum and millet flour. Sorghum Millet Muffins I love baking muffins with sorghum and millet flours. The combo made wonderful spiced zucchini muffins and banana muffins that were gluten and dairy free! This time we are changing out the fruit and trying it with raspberries and apricots...
For the Love of Salads! I eat a lot of salads for lunch. Usually, I incorporate leftovers like the PF Chang lettuce wrap mixture into an Asian salad or left-over taco meat into a taco salad, but my absolute favorite is a Greek salad! Check out this round up of 14 super delicious and nutritious salads from the blog. Eating a ton of vegetables is...
This chicken tortilla soup is made with roasted peppers, lots of garlic, and seasoned salt for deeper flavors. It is dairy-free and gluten-free. Ahhhh, chicken tortilla soup. Where do I begin? To use one of my dad’s favorite words – I am somewhat of a chicken tortilla soup “connoisseur”. I have probably ordered it at every Mexican restaurant or hotel that I’ve been to since...
