I’m in the middle of reading Gary Taube’s new book, “The Case for Keto”. I’ve been on and off a paleo/keto/low-carb diet since 2010. The last few years I let it slip, but still maintain a focus on eating real foods. Less processed items at home....
In recognition of Juneteenth I cooked up a few things for dinner: Charleston Red Rice, (Instant Pot) Collard Greens, and Black Eyed Pea salad. Everything was so delicious!...
I make a fruit platter for work each week, decided I might as well start posting them here. Any thoughts for what fruit I should go with next week? I kinda just tossed this together, haha!
I had the idea for a puttanesca inspired sauce with cauluflower. Ended up tossing the cauliflower with oil, spices, diced kalamata olices, diced red onions, capers, and olive juice. Cauliflower was roasted at around 350 for about 45 mins give or take? Made a decent olive tomato sauce with all the trimmings which was nothing to...
I used recipes from Rose Levy Beranbaum’s Cake Bible. The cake is her classic chocolate butter cake, baked in three 6 inch pans rather than two 9 inch pans, then cut in half. The frosting is her chocolate silk meringue with 3 egg whites rather than 2. I eliminated the water and heated the egg white and sugar slurry over...
Bacon and blue cheese with a bit of mayo and mustard! I pressed a bunch of patties and froze them last week, and just cooked the beef from frozen. Tasted great!
A friend has been growing oyster mushrooms and he gave me some this weekend. I made a lovely dish involving curry paste that turned out incredible. With a side of a quinoa, asparagus, and tahini dressing side I had meal prepped, this dinner just felt like a win. Healthy and amazing!!
Pre-workout snack. Lightly salted rice cakes with Nonfat Greek Yogurt. Cheddar Popcorn seasoning and Frank’s Red Hot, Cinnamon and Sugar-free maple syrup, Black Cocoa and homemade chocolate syrup.
Made with aforementioned peas, bell pepper, chicken, and cavatappi. Sauce is lemon and olive oil. I like to keep the Parmesan with a dry texture so I grated over the top instead of emulsifying in the sauce. There was going to be some summer squash, but they were not ready yet. :( The beauty of pasta primavera is that really any...
My mother loves Battenberg cake but she can’t get it in Canada, so I decided to make her some instead. I didn’t bake two separate cakes to get the tile pattern, but it tastes just as good....
Made these this last weekend, it was my dog’s birthday and she loves stuffed kongs, so I made us all a human version! I melted cheese on top at the end but I didn’t get a pic of that. The yellow ones are a vegetarian version.
