Let’s continue that soup conversation today …day 5 of our Primal Blueprint Challenge. The homemade chicken stock that I shared with you yesterday is calling out to me. Most of it is already hanging out in the freezer. Except for one jar. Just what I need to add to my batch of Hearty Healthy Chicken
I have a thing for homemade soup. When there’s a chill in the air, the soup pot comes out. I know, you really can make soup any time of the year but it’s especially appealing in the cooler months. I do my best to keep a stash of Ina Garten’s Homemade Chicken Stock in my
Day 3 of our 30-day Primal Blueprint Challenge. I’d like to introduce you to my version of healthy Low-Carb Eggplant Parmesan. Wait til you taste this. You won’t believe how good it is. Who needs flour dredging or a coating of bread crumbs? We don’t! You’ll see.
Here we are on day 2 of our 30-day challenge. The interest and words of support have been incredible. We even have a few more folks joining in the fun.
Beginning today, I will be following a version of the Paleo diet known as the Primal Blueprint for thirty days. By making this public statement, there’s no turning back. You know, the whole accountability thing and all.
Chicken pot pie. It’s a classic, for sure. It’s one of those comfort foods that comes to mind when there’s a bit of chill in the air.
Don’t be fooled by the name. Even though these guys aren’t fried, they sure do taste like they are.
Browned butter + yogurt + ripe banana = moist. Add whole grains and brown sugar. You end up with the perfect balance of not-too-sweet deliciousness. Let’s do this.
I love the dollar store. It’s the place where you can go to become a hero. In your grandchildren’s eyes, anyway. All for less than twenty dollars.
Super moist and tender. Who knew we just had to add some sauteed greens to our meatball? Here’s the best part …the kids won’t even know they’re eating some veggies with their spaghetti and meatballs. The best reason of all to give these Beef & Chard Meatballs a try.
Rich tomato sauce without the addition of cream. How is that possible? Eggs. Can you believe it? They are mixed in with the Penne with Shrimp & Asparagus at the last minute to create a creamy textured tomato sauce. Without a lick of cream. Really.
Summer candy. Those mini heirloom tomatoes. You know the ones …Sun Golds, Cherokee Purples, Red Glories. Even the good old red grape tomatoes are extra delicious right about now. Let’s use them to make that much-loved caprese salad. But let’s green it up. A lot. We like to call it our Greened-Up Caprese Salad.
