What is the difference between a portobella mushroom, a cremini mushroom, and a white button mushroom (all of which are readily available at your local produce market)? Nothing...except maturity, and perhaps as much as $3 or $4 per pound. They are the same species - just harvested at different stages of their growth cycle. But unless … Continue reading Stuffed Portobella Mushrooms
Ginger and Nutmeg Sweet Potatoes
Here's a nice variation to your sweet potatoes. This would be great to have as a side to your eggs in the morning, a side to your dinner, or save some for a rejuvenating post-workout snack. Although eating primal now, we don't separate meals too much anymore and label one as "breakfast" or "dinner" as we find dinner foods … Continue reading Ginger and Nutmeg Sweet Potatoes
Tarragon Chicken
Tarragon is an herb you may not cook too much with, but French cooks use it a lot. It is similar to anise. You can learn more about it here. It's a wonderful herb for this recipe as it gives a delicious flavor and smell. This recipe is also nice because it is quick to prepare. Gather Up: … Continue reading Tarragon Chicken
Endive and Sausage Spaghetti
Maybe it is fitting that not that long ago we posted a recipe for pork chops with endive in which I mentioned not to confuse it with Belgian endive. That got me looking for a reason to give Belgian endive a try, because I'd never had it before. Shortly after, I stumbled into a simple … Continue reading Endive and Sausage Spaghetti
Banana Cookies
If you like banana bread, this is a great cookie recipe to try. Instead of eating a whole piece of bread, just have a couple of banana cookies. Same satisfaction and great taste for a quick snack. In case you are wondering why the bananas in the picture are black, it is because sometimes I don't … Continue reading Banana Cookies
Turkey Noodle Stir Fry
Usually, when you glance through your typical Asian restaurant menu, most dishes come with either noodles or rice...and all too often if you ask for them to "hold the noodles," you end up with a meal that is about half the size it should be (because those noodles are a cheap filler), but for the … Continue reading Turkey Noodle Stir Fry
Thai-inspired Beef and Melon Salad
This dish takes inspiration from traditional Thai green papaya salads, only switching up the ingredients a bit and adding in some grilled and thin-sliced steak for protein. By combining the pungent saltiness of fish sauce with the sweetness of fresh melon, and the fragrance of fresh cilantro and mint, you end up with a delightfully … Continue reading Thai-inspired Beef and Melon Salad
Quick Cheesecake Treats
This is my favorite treat. I LOVE cheesecake! To tell you how much, I will pass up chocolate for it; that, my friends, is devotion! So yes, you could just have regular cheesecake, but this is just as good and I am not eating any gluten. I have made this with dextrose, but you can … Continue reading Quick Cheesecake Treats
Fresh Mango Chutney
We've done a few similar recipes on this site already, including the melon pineapple salsa, the mango salsa, and even the recent pork chops with warmed mango chutney. Where this one departs from the first two is the exclusion of any hot chiles (and obviously no pineapple or melon either). The differences with the latter … Continue reading Fresh Mango Chutney
Ginger Honey Scallops
Wild-caught sea scallops are one of my favorite sea foods. When they have been cooked just right, they have a delicate flavor and a firm texture that avoids the "chewiness" often associated with other shellfish. There are a lot of ways they can be prepared, but with only six ingredients (including the scallops), this recipe … Continue reading Ginger Honey Scallops
