Carne Picada is basically minced steak. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, but this week I’ve come up with a nice marinade that is entirely nightshade free (for my nightshade avoiding peeps). It relies on lime juice, coconut aminos, and some other spices to yield its zippy flavor, and is really great […]
Gooey Butter Cake
I was introduced to the wonder that is Gooey Butter Cake by my Aunt Lissa. Aunt Lissa and Aunt Robin are probably the two best bakers in my family and while Robin’s chocolate chip cookies are superior, Lissa brings the yum with the gooey butter cake. Gooey Butter Cake originated in St. Louis, Missouri. A […]
Garlic and Herb Compound Butter
I love this butter. It’s so quick and easy to make, and makes an awesome condiment for a whole pile of different foods. I’ve had it on bunless burgers, steak, eggs, and roast beef. My daughter loves it so much, she will literally eat it with a spoon. It’s fragrant and flavorful and wonderful in […]
Chili Lime Coleslaw
I like spicy foods. I like citrus. The combination of the two in this fresh and cool slaw makes for an awesome side to burgers, barbecue, or whatever summer fare you’d like to serve! Great for potluck, too.
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
I have to confess, these meatballs were an absolute delight to eat. I ate them every day, for a week straight, and simply could not get enough. When I ran out, I seriously considered making another batch to eat over the course of another week. They really just hit the spot. Now, initially, I was […]
Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce
This one goes out to my buddy, LeeAnn, who has been waiting very patiently- with some ribs at the ready- for this sauce. Mustard-based BBQ sauce (oft referred to as Carolina BBQ sauce or Carolina Gold sauce) originates in the little belt from Columbia to Charleson, South Carolina, although many a Georgian (and this Floridian!) […]
Summer Squash Casserole
My mom loves vegetables. She loves them so much that I honestly think she could eat nothing but salad, every day, and be perfectly happy. I, on the other hand, have never been a huge veg eater, and that goes double for yellow squash (one of mama’s favorites). To be honest, the summer squashes are just […]
Chile Relleno
I mentioned before that I’m a HUGE fan of Mexican food, and this dish is no exception. Chile Relleno was a favorite, pre-keto, but knowing what it is you’re getting at any particular place is a bit of a crapshoot that, for me, tends to keep it off the table. At one place it might […]
Mandy’s Molé Sauce
Molé is a rich, traditional Mexican sauce, with origins claimed by both the Puebla and Oaxaca provinces. It’s typically made with a variety of chiles, there’s almost always chocolate in it, and most recipes contain twenty or more ingredients. My molé isn’t exactly traditional: I used peppers I had on hand between the pantry and […]
Danny’s Nutritious Organ Burgers
Anyone who who follows my friend, Danny Vega, has probably noticed he’s a big proponent of incorporating organ meats into the human diet. Before you run screaming, hear me out: the fact is that organ meats are insanely nutrient dense (meaning calorie-for-calorie, they pack in more nutrients than most other foods, most vegetables included), […]
Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is definitely comfort food. We in the West aren’t really in comfort food “season” yet, but to be honest, this is one of those dishes that my family eats year-round, because it’s just tasty and never fails to hit the spot. I think every family has their own spin on what should go […]
Pico de Gallo
Pico de Gallo might be one of my most favorite things in all the world, and it’s super simple to make. Essentially, it’s a type of fresh, chunky salsa- usually consisting of tomato, onion, cilantro, and lime juice- and it makes a fabulous condiment for pretty much anything. From fajita or taco salad mix-ins to […]
