Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Recipe This slow cooker beef brisket is fall-apart tender, so juicy and flavorful. Slow Cooked beef brisket is easy and gets rave reviews every time! Perfect with mashed potatoes or as beef brisket sandwiches. Ingredients: 3 Tbsp Olive oil to sauté divided 4 lb beef brisket 2 tsp sea salt or to taste 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground 1 lb yellow onions (2 medium) sliced into thick strips 1 lb mushrooms thickly sliced 6 garlic cloves peeled and chopped (not pressed)* 2 cups low sodium chicken stock or beef broth 2 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce Instructions: Generously season brisket with about 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat large heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil and when hot, add brisket (fat side down). Sear 4-5 min per side or until browned on both sides. Transfer to slow cooker, fat side facing up. In the same pan, add 1 Tbsp oil and sliced onions. Sautee 5-7 min or until onions are caramelized. Place onions over brisket. In the same pan, add more oil as needed and saute mushrooms until soft (5 min). Place mushrooms into the slow cooker and sprinkle chopped garlic over the top. Combine 2 cups chicken broth with 2 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce and pour mixture over meat. Cover and cook on low 7 to 8 hrs or until cooked through and easy to pull apart with forks. Turn off slow cooker and rest 15 min with the lid on. Remove and discard excess fat from the top** then pull the beef apart with forks and keep it in the slow cooker to soak up the juices which will add amazing flavor and keep meat tender. Serve beef brisket and mushrooms, spooning slow cooker juices over the top. Recipe Notes: *Garlic Tip: it is easiest to mince this quantity of garlic in a food processor. Do not use a garlic press for this recipe. **If you prefer really clean and lean meat; transfer the meat to a platter to make sure all of the fat is removed then return the shredded meat to the slow cooker. Note on Nutrition: the nutrition label will vary greatly based on how much you trim the fat from your meat. Also, keep in mind some of the salt and liquid may get discarded at the bottom of the pot.

Summertime classic: Pan Fried Burger with Caramelized Onions
Nothing screams summer like a juicy burger on a hot day. Growing up I never liked the way burgers tasted coming off a grill so my dad would always cook them in frying pan. I love how crispy the edges of the burger get and the way it can really soak up flavors.
The search for this recipe was inspired by my dad and by one of my favorite food blogs the FoodFreakk. The blog features a video of an onion burger and it looked too delicious for me to not recreate! 
This is a relatively simple recipe to make since it’s only a few steps. If you’re unsure of how to properly caramelize onions this article from Delish features the step by step process on how to get the perfect onions. 
Serves: 4
Time: 15 minutes
-       1 Lb. of ground chuck (80% lean 20% fat)
-       ½  White Onion
-       2 Tablespoons of butter
-       Salt & pepper to taste
-       Burger buns of choice (I used brioche)
-       Sharp Cheddar (optional)
Tumblr media
This shows the relative size the ball of ground beef should be in reference to the palm of a hand. Photo taken by Jillian Dowden.
Let’s prepare to make some juicy onion burgers! Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat while peeling the onion. Place the flat side of the onion on the cutting board after cutting it in half, then slice the onion into thin strips. 
Next, separate the ground beef into four equal parts. Roll each section into a loose ball about the size of the palm of your hand.
Now that the food is prepped, melt the butter in the frying pan and add the onions. Gently move them around for 3-4 minutes while they brown and become soft. Place the caramelized onions on a plate for later. Don’t clean off the pan, you’ll want to save those yummy juices to cook the burgers in!  
Tumblr media
This shows what the burger should look like once the onions are on top and the burger has been pressed down. Photo taken by Jillian Dowden.
Using the same frying pan, place your burger on the pan and sprinkle some of your caramelized onions on top. Then, smash down the burger until it becomes flat and the onions are embedded into the meat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top. 
Let each side cook for about 2-4 minutes depending on how you like your burgers done. Repeat until all burgers are cooked!
Tumblr media
The finished burger with toasted buns and cheddar cheese. Delicious! Photo taken by Jillian Dowden.
If you want your buns to have a buttery, toasted flavor to elevate the dish a little more, just spread some butter on the inside of each bun. Then, place face them down on the frying pan you cooked the burgers on. They should take about 20 seconds to toast.
I added a sharp cheddar cheese to top off my burger, but this is a personal choice. My mom added blue cheese, while my dad opted for the classic ketchup and mayo option. However you spin it, it will be delicious and juicy! 
Some helpful tools for this recipe:
This onion slicer from Amazon Prime is $9.97 and is extremely helpful for getting the perfectly sliced onion. It hold the onion in place and makes the process go by faster, which helps prevent your eyes from watering!
This flat grill spatula from Amazon Prime is $9.99 and is great for pressing down your burgers. Its smooth edge will allow for it to easily slide underneath the burger for a clean flip, its also great for pancakes!

2. Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce
Tender and flavorful, this Skillet Chicken and Mushroom Wine Sauce is easy dinner recipes for a family.
Tumblr media
easy dinner recipes for a family
INGREDIENTS
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut diagonally into cutlets
½ cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and thick sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large shallots, sliced thin
1 ½ cups chicken broth, low sodium
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup heavy cream
2 large springs of fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water or broth
INSTRUCTIONS
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut each breast in half diagonally into 2 thinner cutlets. Alternately, place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickeness.
In a shallow bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet. Heat over medium until the butter is melted. Dredge 3 chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, coating both sides, shaking off the excess flour. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook another 3-5 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat until all chicken is browned.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, undistrubed, until the mushrooms are well browned on one side. Stir and turn the mushrooms and continue cooking until the moisture is released and evaporated, and the mushrooms are all well browned.
Add the sliced shallots to the pan and cook until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Pour the wine into the pan and scrape the bottom to deglaze. Add the thyme sprigs, chicken broth, mustard and cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch. Bring the sauce back to a light simmer and add the chicken. Heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and the chicken warmed through. Remove the thyme sprigs, and season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with parsley or additional thyme and serve with rice, potatoes or noodles.
NOTES
Any dry white wine will do for this sauce. For this recipe I typically use a Chardonnay. If you don't drink wine, substitute white grape juice or additional chicken broth in this recipe.
If you prefer more sauce / gravy, double the ingredients starting with 2 extra tablespoons of butter in Step 4. Then double the amount of mushrooms, shallots, garlic, wine, thyme, chicken broth, mustard and cream. 
Enjoy!

Tumblr media
easy dinner recipes for a family

Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets (large chicken breasts sliced through the equator)
1/4 cup kosher salt
4 cups warm water
olive oil
1 tsp EACH garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Pinch-1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Honey Mustard Sauce
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Vegetables (optional)*
2 tablespoon olive oil divided
salt and pepper
2 lbs. red potatoes cut into 1/2” cubes
1 lb. green beans ends trimmed
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine warm water and kosher salt together in a glass dish. Stir until the salt dissolves. Add chicken and let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes while you prep the rest of your ingredients. Remove chicken from the brine, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
Meanwhile, whisk together honey mustard sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Remove 1/4 cup (to coat chicken before it bakes). Set aside.
Add potatoes to a microwave safe dish. Add enough water to fill 1/4” up the sides. Cover, and microwave for 6 minutes. Drain water and add potatoes to a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Add one tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to evenly coat then divide potatoes in half and push to the sides of the pan, making room for the green beans down the middle (see photos in post).
While the green beans are on the cutting board, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Line green beans down the center of the pan in between the potatoes (they will not be in a single layer but slightly overlapping).
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and all “chicken seasonings” to a large bowl; stir together to make a wet rub. Add chicken and massage spices into the chicken with hands. Using the 1/4 cup reserved Honey Mustard Sauce, coat both sides of the chicken evenly in sauce. Transfer chicken to baking dish, and spoon over any remaining sauce/spices from the bowl.
Cover pan with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Uncover and check for doneness with a meat thermometer. If needed, continue to bake, uncovered, an additional 10-20 minutes OR until chicken is cooked through (an instant read thermometer should register 165 degrees F, cooking time may be more or less depending on thickness of chicken). Let chicken rest 5-10 minutes before slicing chicken. Serve with remaining Honey Mustard Sauce.

Delicious Mongolian Beef Recipe is made with juicy beef strips, sauteed bell peppers and onion all coated in a delicious savory sauce. It's best served over hot steamed rice. 
Tumblr media
easy dinner recipes for a family
INGREDIENTS
Mongolian Beef Ingredients
2 lb beef stew tips, flank steak, New York strip steak (extra fat trimmed), cut against the grain into thin strips
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup neutral oil
4 stalks green onion, green part only, cut into 2 inch pieces
3 bell peppers, cut into strips
1 large onion cut into 1/4 rings
Mongolian Beef Sauce Ingredients
2 tsp ginger powder (or double the amount if using fresh grated ginger)
4-5 garlic cloves , minced
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp Sriracha sauce (add more or less for desired spiciness)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a ziplock bag combine the 1/2 cup cornstarch and 2 lb of cut into strips, close it and shake for the beef strips to be fully and evenly coated in cornstarch.
Preheat a large skillet over high heat, then add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Next, add 3 cut up bell peppers and quickly cook them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often. As soon as the bell peppers are browned slightly, remove them to a separate bowl. 
Do not overcook them, they should still have a bit of a bite to them.
Lastly, tilt the skillet to the side and remove the bell peppers to a separate bowl, leaving the oil behind.
Add the onions to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes, just trying to char up the sides. Add more oil if needed. Tilt the skillet and remove the onion to the bowl with peppers, leaving the oil behind.
Next, add the rest of the oil and add the beef strips, shaking off the excess of cornstarch and cook in a single layer in batches for about 1 minute per side. Transfer the cooked beef to a separate bowl. 
Do not overcrowd the pan. Beef needs to be seared, not cooked in its own juices. 
Keep adding the oil as needed after cooking each batch.
Mongolian Beef Sauce
Drain off the remaining oil from the skillet leaving the stuck on beef bits. 
Next add 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp of ginger powder and the 4 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and let it come to a boil, scraping off the bits off the bottom of the skillet.
Boil for about 1-2 minutes to reduce the sauce. 
Then, add Sriracha sauce if desired.
Bring everything together
Add the beef back into the sauce and stir to coat it in the sauce. 
Allow to come to a boil, which should thicken the sauce.
Next add the bell peppers, cooked onion, and the green onion stalks and stir to heat through.

Tumblr media
easy dinner recipes for a family
INGREDIENTS
3 garlic cloves , minced
4 oz sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb chicken breast tenderloins , sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 cup half and half (or use 1/2 cup heavy cream + 1/2 cup milk)
1 cup mozzarella cheese , shredded (do not use fresh Mozzarella, use pre-shredded Mozzarella)
8 oz penne pasta (for gluten free, use gluten free brown rice pasta)
1 tablespoon basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup reserved cooked pasta water or more
1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of olive oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar) for 1 minute on medium heat until the garlic is fragrant. 
Remove the sun-dried tomatoes from the skillet, leaving the olive oil.   
Add sliced chicken (salted and lightly covered in paprika for color) and cook on high heat for 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat.
Cook pasta according to package instructions.    Reserve some cooked pasta water. Drain the pasta.
Slice sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces and add them back to the skillet with chicken.  
To make creamy pasta sauce, add half-and-half (see substitution for half-and-half in the Recipe Notes section below) and Mozzarella cheese to the skillet, and bring to a gentle boil. 
Immediately reduce to simmer and cook, constantly stirring, until all cheese melts and creamy sauce forms. 
Add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the cream sauce, and stir to combine. 
Add 1 tablespoon of basil, and at least 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
If the creamy sauce is too thick: Add about 1/2 cup of reserved cooked pasta water to the skillet to thin it out.   Do not add all of pasta water at once - you might need less or more of it.  
Season the chicken pasta with salt and more red pepper flakes, to taste, if needed. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes for flavors to combine.
Note: Make sure to salt the dish just enough to bring out of the flavors of basil and sun-dried tomatoes. 
NOTES
What is half-and-half?  Substitute 1/2 cup of milk + 1/2 cup of heavy cream for 1 cup of half-and-half.
If using sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained olive oil.
Do not use fresh Mozzarella.  
Fresh Mozzarella is usually sold as a large ball or small balls in a brine or water solution.    
Do not shred fresh Mozzarella.  
Use pre-shredded Mozzarella cheese sold in bags.

Cut the bacon into slices equal to the size of the chicken breast and lay it over the top of the chicken. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. If you want crispier edges on your bacon, broil for 2-5 additional minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese over the top, then turn oven to 350˚F and cook for 5 additional minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temp.)
Once done, sprinkle tomatoes and green onions over the top. Serve warm. Enjoy!
NOTES
To make this dish with crispy bacon:
pre-cook the bacon to your desired level of crispiness.
Reduce the cooking heat of the recipe to 350˚F. Bake the chicken covered in BBQ sauce for 20-25 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
Top each chicken breast with the crispy bacon, cover with cheese, and put back into the oven for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
Remove and continue with recipe as directed.

13. One Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice
One pot cheesy chicken broccoli rice is a quick & easy skillet dinner. Broccoli, rice, chicken chunks, and cheese cook in one pot for a delicious dinner.
Tumblr media
easy dinner recipes for a family
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into small, bite-sized pieces)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup uncooked basmati OR long-grain rice
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 bag (12 oz) frozen steamable broccoli (about 2 cups chopped broccoli)
2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
In a 12-inch skillet pan (make sure it has a lid) heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the chunked, bite-sized chicken, and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is mostly non-pink in the middle. 
Add rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is cooked. 
While rice and chicken is simmering, cook the microwaveable broccoli in the microwave following the instructions on package. Once done, chop up the broccoli into smaller pieces, if wanted. 
When rice is done cooking, add broccoli and 1 cup of the cheese into the skillet pan. Stir together. Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese and cover with the lid. Let cook for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted. 
Serve immediately. 
NOTES
You can use long-grain white rice instead of the basmati. I just love basmati rice because it cooks up perfectly and is always no-fail. 
If you don't want to use the 12 oz bag of microwaveable broccoli, simply cook fresh broccoli in a pot, and then chop it and add it to the skillet pan. Using the microwaveable broccoli makes it so easy and quick. 
I like to drain some of the water/chicken juices that are in the pan after cooking the chicken. You don't have to, but I like to. 
If your chicken breasts are big then only use 2.

The Best Low-Carb Homemade Beef Jerky
Tumblr media
Have you ever tried making your own beef jerky? It's a healthy snack that is high in protein and almost zero-carb. Making jerky at home is really easy and you won't even need a dehydrator. All you need is an oven!
I love making low-carb jerky because it's a fantastic travel-friendly snack — it lasts for months without refrigeration. Dehydration (removing water from food) helps preserve it, and using salt adds another level of protection.
I keep some jerky at hand when I travel, or just in case I get hungry and have no time to cook. It's also ideal for camping and even makes a great edible gift.
Why Make Your Own Jerky?
Most jerky products contain sugar, MSGs, caramel colouring and starches. Although there are a few sugar-free products that are made with simple whole foods and organic meat, they can be really pricey. Homemade jerky is not just delicious, it's a lot less expensive and you have complete control over what's going into it.
How to Make the Best Homemade Jerky
It's really simple — you just need to follow the following steps:
Use lean meat cuts and part-freeze them to make them easy to slice.
Using a sharp knife, slice as thin as you can.
Marinate the sliced meat (ideally overnight).
Dehydrate on oven racks with a tray positioned in the bottom part to collect the juices, and leave the oven door slightly open using a wooden spoon so that the meat dehydrates rather than cooks.
When done, leave at room temperature to cool down and dry out.
Store in a sealed jar at room temperature for months.
Tweaks & Substitutions
This homemade jerky recipe is so versatile! You can skip the sweetener, add herbs or sub any of the spices with your favourites. To make the marinade, I used coconut aminos but feel free to swap it with tamari sauce (fermented gluten-free soy sauce) if you can tolerate it. If you can't eat beef or simply want to try other equally delicious options, try lean pork such as tenderloin, chicken, turkey or duck breasts (without the skin). The options are endless! Just remember to use lean cuts as excess fat would slow down the dehydration process.
Compared to most recipes you'll find online, mine uses less marinade, just enough to add flavour without wasting ingredients. In fact, I found that using less marinade that is more concentrated makes the jerky more flavourful.
If you don't like your jerky too hard or chewy, make sure to cut it against the grain, or try this Soft & Tender Beef Jerky made with ground meat that also includes a quick video tutorial.
Now let's make some jerky — I hope you like it as much as I do!
Preparation time
Hands-on: 20 minutes Overall: 12 hours
Nutritional values (per serving, 57 g/ 2 oz)
Total Carbs 2.8 grams Fiber 0.5 grams Net Carbs 2.4 grams Protein 30.2 grams Fat 7.7 grams of which Saturated 2.8 grams Energy 209 kcal Magnesium 44 mg (11% RDA) Potassium 522 mg (26% EMR)
Macronutrient ratio: Calories from carbs (5%), protein (61%), fat (34%)
Ingredients (makes about 450 g/ 1 lb jerky)
1.1 kg lean beef such as skirt, flank, brisket, top round or sirloin (2.5 lbs) - the leaner the meat, the better
1/2 cup coconut aminos or tamari sauce (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
2 tbsp fish sauce or more coconut aminos (30 ml)
1 tbsp coconut vinegar or apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp coarse black pepper
1-2 tsp smoked sea salt or plain sea salt (I used 2 tsp)
2 tbsp brown sugar substitute such as Sukrin Gold or just use Erythritol or Swerve (20 g/ 0.7 oz)
Optional: 1 tbsp chile pepper flakes or 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
Before you slice the meat, place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours. The aim is to part-freeze it so that it's easy to slice really thin.
Once ready, use a sharp knife and slice the meat into long strips as thin as you can. I slice mine to less than 1/2 cm (1/4 inch). You can also ask you butcher to slice it for you. Note: Slice the jerky to your preference. Slicing the meat against the grain will result in jerky that is easier to chew as it will break more easily as you chew it. If you slice it with the grain, it will be more chewy and harder to break apart.
Tumblr media
Prepare the marinade by mixing the coconut aminos, fish sauce, coconut vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, freshly ground coarse black pepper, smoked salt and brown sugar substitute. Optionally, add chile flakes or cayenne pepper if you want to add some heat.
Tumblr media
Use a baking tray deep enough to fit all the meat. Brush the bottom of the tray with some marinade. Place the first layer of the meat slices inside the tray and brush the tops with the marinade.
Tumblr media
Place another meat layer on top and brush again with more marinade.
Tumblr media
Repeat until all of the slices are in the tray. Cover with a cling film. Place in the fridge for 8 hours to marinate, or ideally overnight.
Tumblr media
When the meat is ready, preheat the oven to 70 °C/ 160 °F (fan assisted), or 90 °C/ 195 °F (conventional). Lay the slices on clean racks (or a heatproof wire rack or a mesh net tray) and transfer into the top part of the oven. Note: Keeping the oven door slightly open will help dehydrating the meat without cooking it. A wooden spoon or a crunched can inserted in the top of the door work best. Thanks to The Art of Manliness for this great tip!
Tumblr media
Place a baking tray in the bottom section of your oven ready to collect all of the juices dripping from the meat (otherwise your oven will get really messy).
Dehydrate for 3 to 4 hours. The exact time depends on the thickness and position of the racks. The top rack will dehydrate faster than any racks below as the juices will drip down.
Tumblr media
The jerky is done when it’s dry and it snaps when you bend it. Remove the jerky from the oven and let it cool down. You can leave it out for up to 24 hours. The longer you leave it, the drier it will get. Storage: Properly dehydrated jerky is travel-friendly. Keep it in a sealed jar or a Ziploc bag at room temperature for 3-4 months.

Banh Mi Salad Keto, Paleo, Whole30
Banh Mi Salad. This is a delicious take on Vietnamese classic sandwich, the Bánh mì. Keto, paleo, Whole30 and gluten-free, this deconstructed take on one of my favorite sandwiches is loaded with flavor, fresh crunchy vegetables and so much color. I cannot wait for you to try this one.
Alright all my keto, paleo, Whole30 pals, you didn’t think I would leave you hanging on this whole Banh Mi thing, did you? I shared my delicious gluten-free Banh Mi Sandwich a few weeks back, as part of a Sammie Smackdown Contest with Canyon Bakehouse, all for a very good cause, but a lot of you, like me, are generally on that grain-free train. I feel ya, I feel better that way, too! But, there’s no reason we can’t get it on these sammie vibes, in our own way. Enter the Banh Mi Salad, my new favorite thing!
I entered my tasty take on this classic Vietnamese sandwich, the Banh Mi, to try to win $10,000 for my charity, Joyful Heart Foundation. Joyful Heart is a leading national organization with a mission to transform society’s response to sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and support survivors’ healing. Through healing, education, and advocacy, they are paving the way for innovative approaches to treating trauma, igniting shifts in the way the public views and responds to these horrific acts of violence and reforming legislation to ensure justice for survivors – and ultimately working to end this violence, forever!
Voting is still open. It remains open until August 20th and you can vote up to 3 times a day for my sandwich, with extra votes coming in if you share on social media and sign up through email to win a years worth of gluten-free bread! Head over to the Sammie Smackdown contest on Canyon Bakehouse’s website and help me by voting EVERY SINGLE DAY until the contest ends on 8/20. It would mean the world to me to win this money for this incredible, privately funded organization, doing such important work. 
In the meantime, if sandwiches and bread aren’t so much your thing, you need to make this epic salad, inspired by that sandwich. All the flavors, tastes and vibes, without the bread. (And yes, I am aware that Banh Mi literally translates to bread, so this becomes an oxymoron of sorts, but I am OK with that.) If you are following a paleo or keto approach to your eating or maybe just doing a Whole30 and looking to have something fun, this salad is for you!!
The quick pickled carrot and daikon are one of my personal favorite parts of this salad, with the amazing fresh crunch, the tang of the vinegar, it’s such a fabulous compliment. The fresh herbs, the cilantro and the mint elevate this to a level that is so unique, it’s fresh and flavorful. For greens, there is no wrong answer, go with what you like. I went with a blend of green leaf lettuce, butter lettuce and watercress, my favorites for salads. You can use romaine, spinach, cabbage, spring mixed baby greens, or whatever you like. Of course the sriracha mayo dressing is a total perfect finishing move and it allows you to control the heat, along with the pepper rings. Finally, don’t skimp on the quality proteins, as always you know I want you getting sustainable, properly raised meats, not only will you taste the difference, but it’s better for you and the earth, too!
Protein Swaps: Here’s the thing, once you have the basic elements of this salad, the various flavors and crunchy veggies, the tasty sriracha dressing – you can switch up  your protein easily and swap in chicken, shrimp or even tofu, if that’s your jam! Use the marinade from the pork belly and coat chicken breasts or chicken thighs and give it a bake/roast, till it’s cooked through and caramelized on the outside. You can also opt for pork loin instead of pork belly. Keep the ham, or skip it. Toss shrimp in that marinade and pan fry it on the stove top. Same with tofu. Boom. Lots of options. If you are strict no sweeteners, leave out the honey in the marinade, it’ll still be amazing. I have made it both ways.
Banh Mi Salad
6 cups of organic greens, of your choosing (I opted for butter lettuce, green leaf lettuce and watercress)
4 pieces thick cut roasted pork belly strips (or thick-cut bacon), cut into bite sized pieces - see below
4 slices freshly sliced, high-quality gluten-free deli ham, cut into thin strips
Pickled Carrot and Daikon - MAKE AHEAD see below
thinly sliced red chiles or jalapeño
cucumber, thinly sliced or cut into matchsticks
fresh cilantro
fresh mint
Sriracha Mayo Dressing - see below
To compose each of your salad, arrange your greens into your serving bowls or plates. To each salad add the roasted pork belly, ham, thinly sliced cucumber and the chiles or jalapeño, if using.
Finish with a heaping spoonful of the pickled carrots and daikon, a generous bunch of the fresh cilantro and fresh mint. Drizzle the sriracha mayo on top. Enjoy!
You can also use romaine, baby spinach, baby kale, spring greens or other lettuces / greens of your choice. It's a personal preference.
Check out above for other protein suggestions

  Pickled Carrot and Daikon
4 oz carrots - julienned or cut into thin match-like strips
4 oz daikon radish, cut the same way as carrots
2 cups water, slightly warm enough to dissolve the salt and sugar
1 tablespoon sugar (or other sweetener)
1 tablespoon salt
¼ - ⅓ cup* distilled white vinegar or rice vinegar
NOTE: I suggest you start with ¼ cup of vinegar and taste the mixture. If you want it more tangy/vinegary, add more vinegar to taste
In a large bowl, mix the water, sugar, salt and vinegar. Whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
In a clean, glass jar, add the carrots and daikon. Pour the vinegar mixture over until the veggies are completely covered in the liquid.
Cover the jar and place in the refrigerator, at least overnight. The longer it sits the better the flavor. They’ll last up to a few weeks in the fridge.
You can leave out the sugar or sweetener here, if you'd like. It's up to you. I have made this with a couple drops of pure monkfruit, instead of sugar, just to bring a little balance with the sweet, and it was perfect.
3.5.3229
   Roasted Pork Belly
½ lb high-quality properly-raised pork belly, cut into thick-cut bacon like slabs or thick-cut bacon. You want four, approximately 6-inch long strips, around ½-inch thick
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon very finely minced garlic
½ teaspoon very finely minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon coconut aminos (GF soy sauce or tamari will also work)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set an oven-proof rack over the foil. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the rack.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Brush the mixture over the entire surface area of the pork belly or bacon, flip and do the same on the other side.
Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the bacon is brown and shiny, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then loosen the slices from the rack with a metal spatula. Continue to cool for another 5 minutes before serving; the bacon will crisp as it cools.
NOTE: cook time will vary based on the thickness of the pork belly or bacon, so best to start checking around 15 to 20 minutes.
You can easily leave off the honey, if you prefer
3.5.3229
  Sriracha Mayo Dressing
¼ cup avocado oil mayonnaise
approx 1 teaspoon sriracha, or to taste (as spicy as you’d like)
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
water as needed, to thin to your desired consistency.
Whisk together, until well combined. Set aside. Keep refrigerated until ready to build your sammie.

Need A Great Recipe for That Gobbler? Try Cashew Turkey! With the 2018
Tumblr media
With the 2018 Spring Turkey Season well under way here in North Florida here’s a great recipe for those of you fortunate enough to have harvested a gobbler already.
Like any game, wild turkey is very lean and nutritious.
The biggest problem you face with cooking any wild game meat is overcooking – it’s just easy to end up with meat that’s dry and tough.
Many people have had a bad experience with wild meat because it was poorly cared for and prepared.
Smoking is great, baking is great, but frying is my preference!
Our native Missouri is the home of “Cashew Chicken” (invented in Springfield, MO) and we have yet to find a real cashew chicken place here in North Florida.
My great wife of 37 years has substituted wild turkey for the chicken and for the past twenty years or so we have had many a “Cashew Turkey” meal.
It’s a family favorite and every year we all look forward to a spring time family gathering centered around a large platter fried turkey slathered in cashew sauce ( like we plan to here in a few days:)
Here is our favorite turkey recipe along with a few helpful tips:
CASHEW TURKEY 
1 lb. of turkey breast per person
1 egg per pound of turkey
¼ cup milk per egg
Lots of flour, pepper, and salt (easy on the salt if you don’t like salty foods)
Peanut or vegetable oil
Step #1-PREPARE THE MEAT 
Remove turkey breast, clean out any feathers and shot you can see
Rinse well, place in a large bowl and soak overnight in water in the fridge
The meat can stay in this condition several days, just make sure you cover the bowl with a lid or clear plastic
When you slice the meat for frying make sure you cut it across the grain (perpendicular to the length of the breast)
Drain and dry the meat before slicing.
Cut the breast into strips first then cut in to cube about ½ -¾ “ square
Examine each cube for shot, feathers, or any dark spots
Cut them out and discard them – nothing worse than biting down on a piece of shot!
Let the cubes set 15 min. or so before moving on
Mix egg, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl
Dip the meat in the egg mixture then roll in flour, let stand 15 minutes
Dip the meat in the egg mixture again and roll in flour once more – now you are ready to fry!!!
Heat your oil in a large, deep skillet (I use a giant cast iron skillet) or Fry Daddy.
You want it as hot as possible but not smoking or burning
The goal is to cook the meat thoroughly but as quickly as possible without burning or overcooking
When your meat turns a light, golden brown remove it and keep it warm – nothing worse than cold food!
Step #2- PREPARE CASHEW SAUCE (makes at least 4 batches)
3 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups water
3 tsp. corn starch
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt (omit salt if you don’t care for salty foods)
1 tsp. soy or oyster sauce
½ cup cashews (unsalted or rinse off the salt)
½ cup green onions
Boil water and dissolve the bouillon cubes
Pre-mix your starch with cold water then pour slowly into the bullion mixture to thicken
Stir and cook for a few minutes over low heat until desired thickens is achieved – not to thick, not to thin
Turn off heat and let sit for 5 or 10 min.
Step #3- SERVE
Arrange 4-6 pieces of turkey on a plate and cover with cashews
Sprinkle with cashew sauce and green onions
I like mine served on a bed of stir fried rice (parboiled rice fried in a lightly oiled skillet with some soy sauce and a scrambled egg or two thrown in) or you can serve fried rice on the side
This is my favorite way to enjoy wild turkey and I have no doubt you will enjoy it as well.
If the season happens to leave you empty handed domestic chicken or turkey will work as well.
A special word of thanks to my wife, Karla, for the THOUSANDS of wild game and domestic meals she has so faithfully prepared over the years – you’re the greatest!!
Jeremiah and I are currently strategizing and preparing for our next turkey hunt coming up this weekend – we’re hoping to get the boys on a tom!
We hope you will soon be enjoying your own steaming hot platter of Cashew Turkey as well!
We wish you a safe and successful hunt!

Well, first of all you should really just invest in one. They aren’t super expensive like some other kitchen gadgets, but affordable and something you’ll definitely get a fair amount of use out of. Here’s the one we have. I was able to find a 20% off coupon to save a few bucks.
But…if you can’g get one in time to make this tasty sweet potato spaghetti you have at least one other option. There are those julienne peelers that turn veggies into thin strips that somewhat resemble noodles. Here’s one from Amazon. We haven’t used this before, but I have watched some youtube videos, and they appear to work quite well.
Simple Italian Sausage Meat Sauce
We like using Italian sausage for our meat sauce because it adds tons of extra flavor without extra ingredients. We recommend Mulay’s Italian sausage brand, which we are able to find locally at Natural Grocers. You can look for where to purchase it in your area here. We also get Isernio’s brand Italian sausage links at Trader Joe’s sometimes, and then remove the ground meat from the casings. Either way, find a clean brand near you and see how much flavor it adds to your meat sauce.
Add In Some Extra Greens
We are always looking for ways to get more greens into our day! With this sweet potato spaghetti, the perfect opportunity was to add some in right at the end of the sweet potatoes softening in a skillet on the stove. We just toss in a few big handfuls of spinach (or you could use whatever your favorite greens are) and let them wilt a bit. It is the perfect texture and flavor combo with the sweet potatoes, greens and rich meat sauce.

Sweet Potato Spaghetti
This Paleo and Whole30 sweet potato spaghetti is a nourishing and healthy way to enjoy spaghetti, with extra veggies and greens added in!
2 sweet potatoes
2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 lb ground Italian sausage
1 25 oz jar sugar-free marinara sauce
4 cups spinach
pinch of sea salt
Start by spiralizing sweet potatoes to turn them into noodles. Use kitchen scissors or a knife to cut the long strands into more manageable sized pieces. Set aside. 
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp avocado oil and onion to the pan. Once onion begins to soften (about 4-5 minutes), add dried herbs to pan. 
Once herbs become fragrant (about 1-2 minutes), add garlic and ground Italian sausage to pan and cook until sausage begins to brown a bit. 
Add marinara sauce to pan and stir to mix everything together. Turn down to low and let simmer while you heat up the noodles.
In another skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp avocado oil, the sweet potato noodles and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook and let the sweet potatoes soften, stirring occasionally for about 5-6 minutes. Add spinach to the pan and continue to cook until spinach wilts. 
Turn off all the burners and serve with a bed of the sweet potato noodle mixture and the marinara on top. Enjoy!

Method
Clean squid by gently pulling head and tentacles away from the body. Pull out the clear backbone (quill) from inside the body and discard entrails. Cut tentacles from the head just below the eyes; discard head. Remove side wings and fine membrane from the body. Rinse body, tentacles and wings thoroughly and pat dry with kitchen paper.
Cut the squid down the centre so that it will open out flat. Using a small, sharp knife, score shallow diagonal cuts in a criss-cross pattern on the inside surface. Cut scored squid into 5 x 2.5 cm (2 x 1 in) pieces and place in a bowl.
For the squid marinade, pound chilli and salt into a rough paste with a pestle and mortar. Add palm sugar, pound lightly, then stir in fish sauce, ginger and lime juice. Add marinade to the squid in the bowl.
Place pork, chicken, beef, fish and prawns in separate bowls, then set aside while you prepare the garlic and ginger paste.
Pound garlic, ginger and salt together with a pestle and mortar until you have a rough paste. Divide this paste between the pork, chicken and beef.
Add the five lots of marinade ingredients for the pork, chicken, beef, fish and prawns to their respective bowls. Thoroughly mix the contents of each bowl, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
To prepare the bamboo, cut the horn-shaped shoot in half lengthways, strip off the outer fibrous layers and then trim about 2 cm (1 in) off the base. Cut into 5 mm (1/4 in) wide strips, add to a pan of cold salted water and then boil rapidly for at least 10 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Repeat this process of boiling from a cold-water start, draining and refreshing twice more to remove any bitterness. Set aside. (Any leftover bamboo can be placed in cold water and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days — it makes a delicious addition to stir-fries and braises.)
Scrub, debeard, rinse and drain the mussels; set aside.
Clean the scallops, leaving them attached to their shells.
Trim ends from the choy sum, then cut crossways into 3 pieces and wash thoroughly; drain. Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends, then peel the lower part of the stem and cut into thirds on the diagonal. Discard outer leaves of cabbage, then slice cabbage in half lengthways, remove core and cut crossways into about 4 pieces and wash thoroughly, pulling pieces apart to separate leaves. Wash bean sprouts and all the herbs thoroughly; drain well. Pick sprigs from the herbs.
Blanch Hokkien noodles in boiling salted water until ‘al dente’ — about 4 minutes. Drain, refresh in cold water, then thoroughly drain again.
Bring a pan of water to the boil, add salted duck eggs and boil for 9 minutes. Drain, refresh in cold water, then peel and cut into quarters.
Arrange bamboo, mussels, scallops, choy sum, asparagus, cabbage, bean sprouts, herbs, noodles, eggs and mushrooms in simple serving bowls. Place these on the table, along with the bowls of marinated meats and seafood.
About an hour before your guests are due to arrive, make the stock. Place the water in a large electric wok — about 35 cm (14 in) in diameter. Add all remaining stock ingredients and bring to the boil, simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Turn off heat, cover and set aside.
Finally, arrange all the dipping sauces and condiments in small bowls on the table, allowing two bowls of each.
When everyone is ready to sit down and eat, place the electric wok in the centre of the table. Reheat stock and invite your guests to choose their own meat, fish and vegetables to cook in the simmering stock, before dipping them in their favourite sauces and condiments. Towards the end of the meal — generally a long and raucous affair — the noodles are added to the rich, full-flavoured stock and slurped.
Enjoy!

Turkey Dinner!
Tonight’s dinner was a slam dunkaroo. Gouda Ramsay (that’s me) and Julia Childhands (that’s my old roomie/cooking buddy/best friend in college) made an awesome turkey recipe we made up as we went along. 
Under the cut, there’s ingredients and instructions for our Dinner: Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Turkey, Salad, Garlic Bread, and Caramelized Onions!
Ratings:
Ease: 3/5. Difficulty mostly in cook time for the meat.
Taste: 5/5! Flavor was amazing! Not too heavy, but oh so satisfying. 
Healthiness: 3/5. The white meat and the salad are a big health plus. Bacon and garlic bread, not so much. 
Cook time: 1 hour + 10 minutes prep for turkey stuffing
Dishes/cleanup: 3/5. Not too much going on in the dishes department (a pan, a couple of knives, cutting boards, and a baking tray, plus plates and silverware), but there are probably a number of produce leftovers that’ll need to be stored.  
Baked Turkey
 Ingredients:
 
2 lbs turkey (London Broil) 

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of ½ lemon

3 cloves garlic (pressed)

¾ stick salted butter (softened)

3-4 slices of ¼ inch thick bacon

Small handful white onion (about 1/3 onion, cut into roughly ½ inch squares)

¼ cup fresh af rosemary leaves
(Optional) 
Whole Foods garlic lemon poultry seasoning

Fresh ground pepper 
(Optional) 1/2 cup Chicken or turkey stock for maximizing gravy yield
Salad:

½ bag fresh spinach

Juice of ½ lemon

Cherry tomatoes or baby bella mushrooms

Generous amount of basil

Salad croutons of choice

Drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional) 
Garlic bread:

1 loaf Italian bread

2-3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

Olive oil, to stop bread from burning in pan (not needed if using a toaster oven)

Butter, to taste 
Caramelized onions:

White onion (used the left overs from stuffing the turkey, about 2/3rds)

Butter

Salt and pepper 
Directions:

> Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

> Take out your beautiful slab of turkey meat. Look at it. Appreciate it. Put it on a nice clean cutting board. Drizzle a bit of olive oil onto it. Rub it all over that turkey. 

> Using a long, sharp knife, cut a slit into the center of your turkey meat, being careful not to cut all the way through. 

> Open your turkey pocket.

> Lightly season the inside of your turkey pocket with the garlic lemon poultry seasoning, if you have it. 

> (Wash your hands.) Using a different cutting board, zest your lemon. Strip the rosemary leaves from their sprigs. Peel and press your garlic. Chop your onions. Tuck those onions into your turkey pocket. 

> In a small bowl, combine rosemary leaves, butter, lemon juice, half the lemon zest, and the pressed garlic. Make sure the texture is soft and creamy enough to scoop out from the bowl, but not so melted that it’s runny. This will ensure that the butter will gradually flavor your turkey and keep it moist. 

> Close up the turkey pocket by laying the top half of the meat on top of the bottom. If the turkey has trouble sitting comfortably, your pocket may be too small, or you may have used too much onion. We didn’t use any butcher string to hold it together, but you can if you wish. If so, tie it up after you add the bacon. 

> Lay your bacon across the turkey longways. The bacon will keep your turkey from drying out as it cooks, and will give the drippings flavor. 

> Put your turkey in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. 

> While the turkey is cooking, melt a knob of butter in a pan and add your chopped onions to it on low heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let the onions caramelize. Keep an eye on them, stirring occasionally, and stop cooking when the onions get soft throughout, about 10-15 minutes. 

> 15-20 minutes before the turkey is done, prepare the bread and salad. 

> For the bread: butter and fry (or toast) a few thick slices of bread, and when the bread turns golden brown, take it out and add the garlic.

> For the salad: tear up the basil leaves with your hands. Add them to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and toss. You’re done with your salad! 
When the turkey is done:

> Remove your turkey from the oven. DO NOT cut into it immediately. While it’s hot, the turkey juices are between the meat fibers. Resting your turkey will allow the meat to recollect its juices so they won’t dribble out onto the cutting board when you carve it. Don't worry - it won't get cold. In fact, resting will raise the internal temperature of the meat up to 5 more degrees, depending on size. Using your fingers, give the turkey a poke to see if it's done. For a meat-poking guide, check out our post on tenderness!

> Rest your turkey for 5-6 minutes. Then you may cut into it. Strangely, our turkey looked a shade rosier than we were comfortable with at first, but it actually whitened a bit as the slices cooled. If you can hold your finger against the meat for more than a second and it looks pink, it is probably not cooked through. Optional: put your turkey drippings on the stove on medium heat and thicken them into a gravy by slowly adding small amounts of flour and stirring. Add the half cup of chicken broth to the mixture to yield more gravy. This is best done while the turkey is resting. 
> Carve into slices and enjoy your delicious turkey!

  Mosquito Fish (Gambusia) Grower: Aquaponic Lynx LLC Price: $20.00(box with a 1 Gallon breather Bag holding 10 mosqito fish) Available (Exact): 1 Description: Need fish to start up a new aquaponics system? Or perhaps you just need something to control the mosquitoes in your rain barrel or ornamental pond? These are little live bearing native fish that eat mosquito larva and other small aquatic creatures. They don't get very big but they are hardy little fish that can survive all sorts of conditions. I've left a dozen of them in a 5 gallon bucket that had rain water in it, as long as there is a few inches of water for them, they seem to survive fairly well and keep the bucket from breeding swarms of terrible mosquitoes. I use these fish in my aquaponics systems where the bigger fish can't go to make sure I'm not breeding mosquitoes in my systems. I also use them in the kiddie pools under my worm bins (I keep the worm bins in a moat of water to keep the ants out) to keep that water from breeding mosquitoes. The Females are the larger fish, the males are smaller and there are often babies as well. I don't think I've ever seen one much over 2.5". They do jump out of containers so beware what you put them in. Since it is a breather bag full of water you can't simply float the bag in the intended new home to equal out the water temperature, you will need to open the bag and remove some water and add some of the new home water a few times to equal out the temperature before putting the new fish in their new home.

it was 1/2 Tablespoon of Cumin(hehe CUM) not a whole one
anyways, the only reason im making this food is because i got some the stuff at a reduced price(like i got the meat at 8 dollars, it was past expiration in store, honestly a steal tho, plus i live in farm country so certain things like beef is lil cheaper)
I do not like the price i paid for peppers tho(a dollar per pepper[AND THAT WAS REDUCED TOO] smh they are green tho so they should last a bit, its not as bad as the price of cucumbers and zucchinis now paying 2 dollars a pound which is essentially paying 2 dollars for each one)
i am slow cooking the most delicious of concoctions in the kitchen rn
(my tags are so long lol whole half ass recipe down there)
#idk its some bastardized recipe for something called mongolian beef#well can it really be called bastardized when i actually fuckin improved it#like all there was originally was fucking soy sauce garlic brown sugar and onion#LITERALLY NO SEASONING#so i took my earned skills and actuallly made it good#the sauce is now flavorful and doesnt taste like garlic soywater#(the meat gets slow cooked in the sauce thats how i know how the sauce tastes)#added a teeny bit of mustard powder and cumin(half TBsp) added some ginger and onion powder(TBsp) and upgraded garlic to black garlic(TB)#it contained 1/2 cup of soy and 1/3 cup of Brown sugar#also replaced the water with beef broth(half cup)#theres also some oil(i did reg Veggie oil cause i dont like Sesame/ 1TB)#you serve ontop some seasoned/fried rice and mixed peppers/veggies thatve been lightly seasoned and fried in a skillet#the meat(1 1/4 Lb.) gets cleaned and sliced into strips#you leave the strips in a heavy salt solution to leach it/tenderize it(you can use other methods but this was what i had on hand) then rins#(you leave it in the solution for ATLEAST 30 minutes)#pat the strips down dry and using a 1/4 cup of Corn starch you coat the strips entirely#you then put the meat into your sauce and stir it around until the meat is entirely covered in it#then slow cook for however long you want(im doing 8 hours for some REAL tender shit)#alot of these measurements were eyed balled (except starch and liquids)[im skilled at this]#i will update yall once ive tasted the finished product#i went a little light on the seasoning but i dont have certain ingredients i want/can obtain so i had to make do(plus my parents cant shiit#DO NOT ADD EXTRA SALT TO THE DISH#leaching the meat and the soy sauce already has enough salt content#THE STARCH IS NECESSARY PART OF THE DISH#you can achieve black garlic by slow cooking regular garlic FOR WEEKS#longer = better#also i recommend using minced Ginger instead of powder for better flavour
