Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Dan Dan Noodles feature a complex and spicy, but balanced flavor profile, and my version is low carb without sacrificing taste!
Dan Dan Noodles is a classic Sichuan street food dish, but I first had it at an Asian restaurant in Orlando. One bite and I was completely hooked on the flavor profile! It starts out subtly sweet, and then umami, and finally a fiery, spicy heat hits the back of your palate. After every single bite you’ll want to go back for another to repeat the tasting experience!…
This low-carb Cheeseburger Salad is every bit as satisfying as a carb-heavy burger on a bun! And once you make this healthy homemade Big Mac Sauce, you’ll realize you need it in your life. Summer isn’t summer if you don’t grill up burgers, right?! Next time you whip up a batch of hamburgers, be sure to throw a few extra on the grill to make this Cheeseburger Salad. They’re perfect for an easy weeknight meal of leftovers or for weekday lunches!...
Cast Iron Burgers are juicy and flavorful, and easy to make on your stovetop in a cast-iron skillet. For a lot of us, grilling is the preferred cooking method in summer. Grilling is quick and easy, and doesn’t require heating up the kitchen to get dinner on the table! And surprisingly, grilling is a very versatile cooking method. My dad has told me several times that he could cook a cake on a grill and I actually believe him, lol!...
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....
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 […]...
Low-Carb Beef Queso Soup is rich, cheesy, and packed with flavor and nutrition. Since I’ve started eating low-carb more frequently, I’ve noticed it’s the least restrictive way of eating I’ve ever practiced. The focus turns to quality over quantity and it’s not about what you can’t eat, but what you can....
Sonoma-Cutrer provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Rich in flavor, this 30-Minute Beef Bolognese with Herbes de Provence and Red Wine is impressive enough to entertain with, but fast enough for weeknight dinner! Once cooking for yourself or for your family becomes a regular part of your routine, you find ways to make it work even on busy weeknights. Maybe it’s grocery shopping and prepping ingredients over the weekend, or maybe it’s batch cooking a couple nights a week and then eating leftovers […]...
Vital Proteins provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Braised Beef with Root Vegetables and Red Wine is a hearty, slow food family meal that features a boost of nutrition thanks to added beef bone broth collagen. When you think of Sunday suppers in fall with family, what meals do you think of? For me, to name just a few, chicken pot pie; beef pot roast with vegetables; roast chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy; spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs....
This gluten free Lower Carb Beef Eggplant Moussaka Casserole has a couple non-traditional elements that make it truly special. Greece has been on my bucket list of travel destinations for forever now. When I think of Greece, I think of ancient ruins. The brilliant blue of the Aegean Sea, contrasted by the pristine white houses. And the food, of course the food....
Take 10 minutes to throw this recipe for Coffee-Spiked Slow Cooker Beef Carnitas in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to endless possibilities for dinner. We all have certain meals that we turn to time after time. Chicken soup when we’re sick or chocolate cake for a birthday celebration. A favorite meatless meal on Mondays or pizza on Fridays. A slow-cooked roast or hearty stew in winter....
