Spicy “Wings”

We’ve got a fun game going on called “get as creative as you can with whatever food is in your house because: PANDEMIC!” It’s sparked some delicious ingenuity and resulted in some fab meals! You could easily use any root-like vegetable for this dish. We had on hand: cauliflower, turnips, and carrots. WHAT YOU’LL NEED:…

Homemade Enchilada Sauce

What you’ll need: 2 cups bone broth (we used beef) 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped 3 tablespoons gluten free flour (really, any flour you choose will suffice) 1 tablespoon ground chili powder (scale back if you’re sensitive to spice or using…

Raspberry Chia Jam

My mom doesn’t have many worthy opponents when it comes to jam. It’s for good reason that her annual berry batches are in constant demand at our house! It can be slathered on just about any object and devoured without question. It makes a regular appearance in oatmeal, on German pancakes, and in the middle…

Mini Meatloaves

Apparently I’m on a muffin tin kick this autumn? I could be imagining it, but somehow smaller portions seem more manageable when there’s a kid to feed. He deemed these mini meatloaves “meat cupcakes” and I feel as though he couldn’t be more spot on. They’re ridiculously easy to throw together, use only one bowl,…

Quiche Lorraine [v.Keto]

Our last two trips to Europe have rekindled our love of this classic dish.  With an ever-abundant supply of eggs in the spring and summer, we’re always looking for creative ways to utilize them.  Since we limit our carbohydrate intake on the regular, we eat a great many frittatas and scrambles, but rarely find ourselves…

Fathead Dough [v.Keto]

This dough is incredibly versatile.  We use it for just about everything while we’re in a carb restriction cycle.  In most cases, it’s almost BETTER than bread or standard dough, simply because it’s so rich and dense. We use it as a pizza crust, a flat bread, rounds, and even pie crust.  Use your imagination…

Green Bean Tarragon Salad

During the warm months, I inevitably crave all things COLD.  Salads, naturally, fall under this umbrella, but I so often find myself tired of the regular rotation. Since summer brings an abundance of seasonal goodness, I’m vowing to introduce more new salads to our dinner roster! Enter this Green Bean Tarragon salad.  Inspired by our…

One Hour Roast

As far as comfort foods go, pot roast easily ranks in my top 5.  Part of this, I’m sure, is its proclivity for being wildly time consuming, and thus rarely on a regular rotation through our kitchen.  Growing up, it was always a rarity — the treat of all treats.  Mom never had six hours to cook dinner,…

Quinoa Veggie Patties

Somehow, although I crave them on the regular, and almost always prefer them to a regular burger, it’s taken me 30 years to make my own veggie patties.  I really blow my mind. Quinoa Veggie Patties  Recipe adapted from sproutedkitchen.com  What you’ll need: 2 cups cooked quinoa (I always vote for red or tricolor — because of…

Grilled Flatbreads

I love summer for a lot of reasons. An abundant garden.  A lush, green yard.  Being out on the lake, putzing around in my kayak.  Warm evenings on the back porch under the lights or around the fire.  Beach time.  Roadtrips.  Camping trips.  Longer days.  Sunkissed skin.  More energy.  People smiling, people playing. But more than…
