Chicken Noodle Soup (with Gluten-Free Noodles)

12/27/2020

This gluten-free chicken noodle soup is the result of finding whole White Oak Pastures pastured chicken at our local food co-op.   If you’re not familiar with the definition of “pastured” as it relates to chicken, it’s similar to “grass-fed” for beef: it means that the chicken roamed around on pasture during its life, probably pecking at bugs and seeds, warmed by the sun, soci[...]

Purple Sweet Potato Gardener’s Pie (Grain/Gluten-Free, Vegan)

02/15/2017

This Gardener's Pie recipe is my tribute to the would-otherwise-be-wasted ugly vegetables in my Imperfect Produce box last week. The food recovery startup Imperfect Produce first came on my radar when I saw its CEO and COO speak at a Food +Tech Connect meetup here in San Francisco. The two spoke about their company's multi-part mission to 1) reduce food waste while[...]

30-Minute Thai Beef with Basil (with Carbon-Farmed Beef)

This quick and tasty 30-Minute Thai Beef with Basil is my first recipe introducing carbon farmed beef. What is carbon farming? The TL;DR version: it's a style of farming that removes carbon dioxide from the air through agriculture. How it works involves a quick science lesson: all agricultural production involves the process of plant photosynthesis, which uses sunshine to combine carb[...]

Date-Night Spicy Sausage Stuffed Ravioli (Pastured Poultry, Part II)

These Date Night Spicy Sausage Stuffed Ravioli are too delicious for words! Paired with fresh seasonal vegetables and flavorful herbs... | Fresh Planet Flavor

I made this Date-Night Spicy Sausage Stuffed Ravioli solo, but I definitely think the effort is better split between two people... So make a date night out of it or give it a whirl with a friend or roommate. I am making use of fresh, seasonal ingredients here, so I skipped any type of labor-intensive prep of the vegetables and instead opted to let their natural flavor&[...]

Cranberry Chicken Stuffed Squash

12/17/2015

I have been playing a LOT with cranberries this holiday season, in many different ways, and have completely fallen in love with them as an ingredient. Such little bursts of color and flavor! This Cranberry Chicken Stuffed Squash is my favorite cranberry creation to date: there are many layers to the flavor, such as the warmly savory shredded chicken, the subtle sweetness of onions and parsnips[...]

Duck Bacon Winter Hash

Duck Bacon Winter Hash (bacon, mushrooms, cranberries, squash, pecans, herbs!) #seasonal #paleo #bacon

Sometimes I have a Grinch moment, and I think "healthy seasonal food in the winter is ugly, and boring, and difficult, and time-consuming to prepare." But I know that's not the truth. Many traditional favorites do rely on truckloads of sugar in various forms to liven them up (pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes loaded with marshmallows) but there's beauty and eas[...]

Green Pork Sliders + My 1st CrossFit Competition

Before we get to the lusciousness that is the Green Pork Sliders, may I say that earlier this month I competed in my first CrossFit competition ever! What an utter blast. Hosted by Alameda Crossfit just across the water from San Francisco, the day dawned crisp and sunny and I got there bright and early to warm up and get situated before the competition began. Shout-out to the pureWOD gu[...]

Spicy Spaghetti Squash Beef Bowl

Spicy Spaghetti Squash Beef Bowl: pastured ground beef mixed with veggies and spices packed into a squash for a healthy, seasonal presentation.

One of the most difficult aspects of a healthy lifestyle is the cost of nutritious ingredients, and the hassle of cooking. However, there are plenty of "hacks" that help when time and funds are both nowhere to be found. One of my favorite strategies that's an utter no-brainer (although it does take a conscious effort) is buying meat--one of the priciest parts of a real food diet-[...]

One-Pan Spaghetti Squash Chicken Chorizo Skillet

This one-pan skillet combines leafy spinach and sweet bell peppers with starchy squash, savory chicken, and chorizo for a complete meal! #glutenfree #lowcarb #paleo) | GrokGrub.com

To be honest, this Spaghetti Squash Chicken Chorizo Skillet is a riff on grain-free paella. But... I forgot the shrimp, so it has no rice, no seafood, and no right to be called any type of paella. But! It does have golden chunks of chicken and savory slices of chorizo on a bed of smoky paprika-spiked vegetables, so I think it still has a lot of tastiness to offer. I made it for a pale[...]

Lamb Galette with Burst Tomatoes and Figs

Lamb Galette with Burst Tomatoes and Figs (grain-free, dairy-free, paleo) | GrokGrub.com

According to Wikipedia, a galette is a round and crusty cake. I’m more inclined to think of it as a pie that is not cooked in a pie dish, but instead, the pastry is folded up and around the filling, leaving a hole at the top. I wrote about forgiving grain-free baking projects in my post of a sun-dried tomato ripe olive focaccia a few weeks ago, and I consider this the next in t[...]

Sundried Tomato Ripe Olive Focaccia (grain-free, dairy-free, paleo) | GrokGrub.com

Since going grain-free, I miss bread. But probably not in the way you're thinking, and it's more accurate to say that I miss bread-making: those deeply meditative,  repetitive motions of kneading to sink your awareness into, the precise measuring of ingredients, exercising patience while the dough rises, that universally comforting, wholesome warm smell… You see? Bread-making is[...]

It's my goal to publish recipes on Fresh Planet Flavor that are... good. Objectively. Of course, the definition varies person to person, and there's no getting around the fact that my taste-buds have adjusted after years of trying to avoid refin[...]

This dish may look humble, but... if my blog were a basketball team, this recipe would be in the starting five.

Then, six hours later, revel in effortless curry! Not only is this slow cooker curry crazy lazy as far as prep[...]

Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Lamb, Pomegranate, Pine Nuts

Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Lamb, Pomegranate and Pine Nuts | GrokGrub.com

Lamb is a controversial meat. Its taste has a dank, gamy undertone to it that's totally absent from chicken and beef (and which means a whole lotta nope for a some people) but is... actually what I like about it. You always know when you're eating lamb, and the taste is kissing cousins with the flavor of other interesting meats like goat, bison, venison. However, I m[...]

Walnut Sweet Potato Biscuits with Mushroom Gravy

04/14/2015

Biscuits and gravy is a slightly guilty pleasure of mine, probably because my parents wouldn't let me eat the dish growing up. The white, clumpy, greasy, unidentifiable meaty chunkiness that is traditional Southern biscuits and gravy never darkened the doors of my childhood home. Now there's a morbid fascination with it that I can't shake, so today I took the concept out for a thoroug[...]

Cauliflower Kedgeree

Cauliflower Kedgeree (grain-free, dairy-free, paleo)

I'll be honest: partly why I decided to experiment with kedgeree is because I'd never heard of it before yesterday. Kedgeree is apparently a traditional British breakfast from colonial India, and it's got quite the balance of flavors going on: smoky fish, curried rice (in the traditional version), and boiled eggs! Kedgeree is thought to have originated with an Indian rice-and-b[...]
