A little shepherds pie with the ingredients I had on hand: ground beef, extra virgin olive oil, butter, sea salt, pepper, onions, carrots, bell pepper, eggplant, garlic, sweet potatoes, coconut milk and stock.

Smoothie made with water, greens, apple, frozen peaches, frozen raspberries, flax seeds, lemon, sea salt and collagen!

Made my chocolate (cacao paste, ghee, vanilla, sea salt, maple syrup) and the chocolate chip cookie recipe (from The Silver Palate Cookbook). I didn’t have any chocolate chips and didn’t want to wait for the chocolate I made to harden, so I topped the cookies with melted chocolate.

Balls made with almond butter , maple syrup, cacao powder, vanilla, sea salt, oats, flax seeds and my chocolate!

I ordered from Butcher Box for the first time and I saw they had chicken nuggets. The ingredients are good so I ordered them and they are tasty! I made a dipping sauce from avocado, mayo, lemon juice, siracha and sea salt.

Lentil and rice cakes topped with avocado, lemon, sea salt and bacon! Lentil and rice cakes are made with equal parts red lentils and basmati rice. Recipe coming soon!

Back from a 2 week trip to Europe with my husband! We walked around, went to museums, restaurants and traveled around a little bit. We ended up buying art we are excited about! Happy to be back home and back into the cooking rhythm…

Still working on my sushi rolling skills… purple rice, jumbo lump crap, bell peppers, avocado, chipotle mayo and seaweed.

Orange chicken for dinner!!!! I’m digging making Asian takeout dishes at home! I battered and seared the chicken, made the orange sauce, blanched the broccoli and cooked white rice. I finished the chicken and broccoli in the oven covered in the orange sauce. This was super tasty!

Lazy night pasta dinner made with green onions, extra virgin olive oil, leftover roux cubes (tons of roasted garlic, butter and flour), pasta, pasta water, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolks. I made this pasta a few nights ago and placed the leftovers in a lightly greased dish. Tonight I topped it with too much 😉 taleggio, red pepper Mitica sheep’s milk cheese and aged prosciutto!

Smashed avocado seasoned with sea salt and lemon juice on a rice cake.

Strawberries, mango and The Coconut Cult lemon meringue yogurt (so delicious!!).

Ramen Inspired and Breakfast

Leave a comment

I wanted some ramen but we didn’t have all the ingredients. I will definitely be remaking this next week with meat and pickled veggies!

I made a super delicious and quick broth using water, kombu, bonito flakes, soy sauce, coconut aminos, sea salt, rice vinegar, chili paste and fish sauce! It took less than 30 minutes to make and it was so flavorful! I added some millet and brown rice ramen noodles and a couple boiled eggs that I marinated in soy sauce and coconut aminos.

Leftovers for breakfast! We had some leftover pasta (brown rice pasta in a roasted tomato sauce with onions, garlic and jalapeño), so I added eggs, brown rice flour and flax seeds and cooked it in some extra virgin olive oil!
