8/31/2017 0 Comments One Pan :: Greek to meThis may be my favorite one pan meal. It's flavorful. It's customizable. And it makes the house smell DIVINE! This is the kind of meal that makes you burn your mouth because you just can't wait for it to cool down to eat it. Or maybe I just cooked really late tonight. Either way it was delicious!

8/30/2017 0 Comments One Pan :: Asian BlingEgg Roll in a Bowl. Crack Slaw. Shredded Stir Fry. Call it what you will, but in this house we call it Asian Bling. This one pan meal cooks up in under 30 minutes and is bursting with flavor. If you want an extra kick, add in some more Sriracha or toss in some Red Pepper Flakes. One Pan Asian Bling
Ingredients 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil 2 cloves of Garlic, chopped or 1 tsp pre-minced garlic 1 pound meat (I used ground turkey, but you could use ground chicken, beef, or pork) 1 tablespoon Sriracha 1 teaspoons ground Ginger Pinch of Salt + Pepper Broccoli Slaw (found in the refrigerated section near the pre-cut veggies 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded & diced 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) Coconut Aminos (or Liquid Aminos or Soy Sauce) 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds Instructions 1. Heat oil over medium heat. Once warm, add in garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. You could optionally add in 1/2 a red onion at this point. 2. Add in meat, srircha & ginger. Stir occasionally until meat is cooked. 3. Add in Broccoli Slaw, Red Pepper, Salt & Pepper. Sautee for 2-3 minutes or until slaw is slightly cooked, but not soggy. 4. Add in Coconut Aminos & Rice Vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes. 5. Remove from heat & add sesame seeds before serving. I'm a fan of taco, burritos, nachos, and any other variation of those using similar ingredients. One of the only downsides to these is that my counter top is generally littered with all the toppings that I have to clean up & store after we make out plates. Enter the foil packet burrito bowl. Technically, I don't even have to use a plate to eat it off of. I can just eat it straight out of the foil. And that right there is just another reason to love this meal. One Pan Burrito Bowls

8/29/2017 0 Comments Always ready Taco SeasoningWhen we began moving away from the amount of processed foods we purchased, taco seasoning was one of the first trade outs I made. I loved that it was something we used often that can easily be created with the items we already had in our cabinet. Generally I just glance at my handy index card on the cabinet shelf when I need to make a new batch, but since that doesn't look as cute on a blog, I will type it up just for you.

8/29/2017 0 Comments The Very Best Standard SalsaThere are a handful of recipes that I can make from memory-- partly because they are super easy & partly because it doesn't matter if you mess up a few measurements, it is still pretty much right every time. This standard salsa meets those requirements So bust out your food processor & in 5 minutes, you will have more than a quart of salsa. The Very Best Standard Salsa
Ingredients (put them in the food processor in this order)
Instructions 1. Add ingredients into the food processor in the order above. 2. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency 3. Tell all your friends that you just made the best standard salsa. One of the first meals that I shared in an online group was Sweet Potato Hash. I loved it because it was a twist on breakfast for dinner (which is one of my very favorite types of dinner) and I could pretty much clean out the fridge as I made it. When I started working on one pan dinners, I knew there was a way to turn this favorite into an even easier meal. Rather than having to dice & roast the potatoes, cook the veggies, meat, & eggs separately before putting them all together, this version takes place in one pan... you just have to add the ingredients in every few minutes due to varying cook times. Preheat your oven to 400 & wash 2 medium sized sweet potatoes (or in my case, one HUGE sweet potato). Then with the skin still on, begin shredding it. I do this directly on the rimmed baking sheet that I will cook the entire meal in. You could also purchase a bag of preshredded sweet potatoes, but then you would miss out on the daring game of "don't cut your knuckles on the shredder." I'm pretty much 50/50 on whether I win that game. Once the potatoes are shredded, drizzle on 2 tablespoons of avocado oil (or any other cooking oil you prefer- EVOO & coconut oil would work just as well.) Next add in a generous pinch (1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon) of salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, oregano & chili powder. And for good measure you can throw in some nutritional yeast if you have it on hand. If you don't, just keep trucking along. Use your washed hands or a spatula to mix together the oil and seasoning in the shredded sweet potatoes and spread them out evenly-ish on your lined baking sheet. Put them in the oven for 7-10 minutes. While they begin cooking, you can start washing & cooking your other add ins. I like a sweet and savory profile for my hash, so I opt for apples, sweet peppers & chicken apple sausage for my add ins. Then I have to throw in something green to make me feel better about getting my veggies in. Tonight I chose broccoli & zucchini. Wash & dice all of the add ins. How much you add in is totally up to you. But if you like to have something to go off of, I had about a cup of apples, broccoli and zucchini. The sweet peppers were about half a cup. For the protein, I like Aidell's Chicken Apple Sausage. They are pre-cooked, so it takes some of the guess work out of cook time. I like to quarter each of the 4 links that come in the package, so I have 16 long strips. Then I dice them up. Once the first 7-10 minutes of solo cooking the sweet potatoes ends, pull the rimmed backing sheet out of the oven and add on your fruits, veggies & protein. You can add another tablespoon of oil for good roasting measure. Put the pan back in the oven for another 7-10 minutes. Once that time is up, pull out the pan & create 4-6 wells in the hash using a spatula. Carefully crack one egg into each well (or if you much have them scrambled, gently whisk in a separate bowl before pouring into the well.) Place the hash back in the oven for 7-10 more minutes. And there you have it! A one pan, breakfast for dinner wonder! Serve it up in your favorite bowl & feel free to toss some avocado chunks on top of it. Bonus: This reheats like a dream, so you could make a little extra and have a great breakfast or lunch option for later in the week. One Pan Sweet Potato Hash
