Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon + Charred Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts – a healthy and delicious weeknight dinner!

You guys – it feels so good to be back! If you follow me on Instagram you know that we have been out-of-town that past week (lounging by Lake Superior), so things have been a little quiet on my end. It felt so good to take it slow for a week. I had such good intentions of prepping several posts for over the past week, but it just didn’t happen (you guys know – prepping to be out-of-town for 10 days with 2 little ones is hard enough!). But it’s okay – the blog kept on running without my typical 3 posts per week ? And here we are back at it – with this beautiful and delicious Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon + Charred Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts; one of my all-time favorites (seriously, I make some version of this recipe almost once a week)….

Curried Grassfed Meatballs + Cauliflower Rice and Avocado

Curried Meatballs + Cauliflower Rice and Avocado – weeknight or weekend-worthy, this simple and savory meal is easy and delicious!!!

Welcome to my world right now….. the world of Whole30 that is. This amazing Curried Meatball recipe just happens to be a “go” if you are also going through this “eating experiment” – as I am calling it. But don’t let that scare you if that isn’t your thang. It is ridiculously good regardless of that. Just switch out the cauliflower rice for any other kind of rice you like (I would recommend jasmine). But those meatballzzzz. So, so good. And just enough heat from the curry to keep things interesting…

How to Make the Best Cauliflower Rice – an easy, step-by-step tutorial so you get that perfect texture every time!

Let’s talk about cauliflower rice, you guys. Because it has recently become my new BFF. Yup – I am currently halfway through my inaugural Whole30 and I am feeling pretty awesome. Buuuuut, the menu is a little lacking at times. As in, I want some sushi and/or just a big bowl of sushi rice to stick my face in. The cravings are real and I am doing whatever I can to overcome them. Making cauliflower rice is essentially a must if you are doing Whole30, but it is also a pretty awesome change-out for everyday eating. The key is to get the right consistency – don’t worry, I did the dirty work for you!

15 Minute Ghee + Turmeric Chicken Caesar Salad – this salad is simple, healthy and perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Alright you guys, so for whatever reason, I am in this phase where every Friday, after work, I run to the grocery store and buy some organic chicken and any ingredients I need to make a smoothie. (and possible a Justin’s® peanut butter cup….and some kombucha). I get home as quickly as I can and, of course, bee-line it to my girls and cover them in kisses….. lots of them. Then, I head to the kitchen and start decompressing from the long and crazy work-week. I melt some Ghee in a skillet, sprinkle some Himalayan pink salt on the chicken and start cooking.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts + Pancetta and Red Pepper Flakes

December 4, 2016 By Erin Leave a Comment

Roasted Brussel Sprouts + Pancetta and Red Pepper Flakes is the perfect way to elevate your typical brussel sprouts into a classy, savory side dish that everyone will love!

Ah….the Brussel Sprout. I was recently challenged to make a recipe that “made brussel sprouts taste good.” Well, here is my attempt. I immediately thought of Corned Beef and Cabbage and how brussel sprouts are essentially tiny, little cabbages…. And I love, love, LOVE the cabbage in corned beef and cabbage – with a little butter and salt. So good. Then I thought of the popular recipes with brussel sprouts and bacon – also yummy. So I kind of mashed those two ideas together in my head and Poof – Roasted Brussel Sprouts + Pancetta and Red Pepper Flakes was born.

Smoked Baby Back Ribs

September 18, 2016 By Erin 4 Comments

Smoked Baby Back Ribs are a classic comfort food that are full of flavor and is a must for your next get together!

They are smokey, succulent and finger-lickin gooooood. You need a good smoker recipe for your baby back ribs? Here you go. This is not a “quick and easy” recipe — this is a “we are hanging out at home today” kind of recipe (if you are looking for more of a quick and easy version – try this Instant Pot BBQ Rib Recipe!) The attention and work that goes into these is well-worth the wait. Just look at them. And yes, they taste as good (if not better) than they look!

Simple Steamed Broccoli + Lemon and Parmesan Cheese

September 9, 2016 By Erin 1 Comment

Simple Steamed Broccoli + Lemon and Parmesan Cheese is an healthy and easy side dish to add to any weeknight meal!

I don’t know about you guys, but I am always scratching my head wondering what kind of vegetable I am going to serve with dinner. I mean, there are only so many veggies in the world, and there are only so many ways to serve them! Especially when we are talking about the dreaded “weeknight dinner” …. dun dun dunnn. Having a vegetable with our meal during the week is a must in our house, but when you have very specific parameters within which to work (i.e. fast, easy, kids will eat…) your options start to dwindle. Fast.
