Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw

February 18, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

This is my take on a classic favorite! This Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw is the perfect combination of tender meat and zesty fresh, flavorful slaw.

One of the best things about a sandwich (of course in addition to the fact that it’s portable and easy to make), is that you’re able to pack in a ton of flavors and textures. Here I paired braised beef short ribs with a sweet and spicy pickled slaw for the perfect balance.…

June 27, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Thank you Cacique® for sponsoring this post. Visit your local grocery store to pick up your fave Cacique® product for a delicious dinner tonight! Short Rib Tostadas with Pineapple Salsa and Cotija feature melt-in-your-mouth-tender meat paired with sweet and spicy fresh pineapple salsa and bursts of salty creaminess from Cotija cheese. Mexican food is a beautiful dance and I find it has a lot of harmony. Slow-cooked complex sauces brightened with fresh flavors from things like cilantro and perfectly ripe tomato. Spice and heat are balanced by cheese and cream. Meats are cooked until fall-apart tender and wrapped up in soft tortillas or served on […]...

October 21, 2016 by Faith 15 Comments

These freezer-friendly Cheesy Beef-Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Easy Roasted Tomato Chili Sauce is full of Tex-Mex flavors without too much spicy heat; it’s a real crowd-pleaser! When I was in law school I fell into a weekly Tex-Mex routine with few friends. We’d meet at a local dive on Thursday evenings and order a bunch of different dishes to eat family-style. In addition to the food being great (because we all know sometimes the shadiest dives have the best food), the atmosphere was so much fun: lively with music, bright-colored décor, and lots of laughter. I remember one particularly crazy night that involved an extremely […]...

30-Minute Sesame Beef and Snap Pea Stir-Fry Skillet Supper {And Well Fed Weeknights Cookbook Review}

October 3, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

This paleo, Whole30-friendly 30-Minute Sesame Beef and Snap Pea Stir-Fry Skillet Supper was inspired by Melissa Joulwan’s Well Fed Weeknights cookbook; it’s full of real-food ingredients minus any icky add-ins, and it’s even better than takeout from your favorite Chinese restaurant. So, in a nutshell, Melissa Joulwan is a paleo goddess. She’s the mastermind behind the Well Fed cookbooks and not only are her recipes approachable and innovative, but they’re pretty dang amazing whether you eat paleo or not. I think we can all agree that it’s a pretty good day when you get to eat a meal that’s as insanely delicious as it is nourishing, […]...
