This Father’s Day, show your love and appreciation for what a badass Dad is with (what else?) grilled meat. Plus, bacon. Also known as: Father’s Day classics! I’ve collected more than 100 of my favorite Whole30 Father’s Day recipes that celebrate dads while respecting their health goals. That's right, it's a massive Whole30 recipe roundup... with grill marks! These heal[...]
Here it is, springtime, and I am making stew! But what can I say? This oxtail stew is rich in gut-healing collagen and tastes amazing. The flavors from the allspice, thyme, and ginger marry beautifully together in the flavorful broth that is naturally thickened by the slow-cooked oxtails. Think of this as beef stew, with benefits. Basic beef stew is delicious, but I'm all for using less c[...]
I experimented with "meatza" (pizza with a crust of meat) today. I'm loving the chance to do some real cooking with plenty of ingredients on this weekend, after this week spent confined in my apartment due to bronchitis and an eye infection. I'm posting the recipe for this meatza's pork crust, which I topped with no-sugar-added pizza sauce, homemade vegan cashew "cheese", r[...]
Today I created a new recipe, for Beef-Rib Pot Roast. I'll take more/better photos of it when I inevitably make it again soon (as early as next week, possibly). But I did set up and take a shot of it in my bowl, so wonderfully meaty and flavorful, topped with fresh thyme. I'd also like to make a slow-cooker or instant-pot version of this, because a three hour cook time is inconvenient, to say[...]
I had pomegranate seeds leftover from another recipe, so what's a woman to do? Hopefully something less labor-intensive than creating a fully original recipe to feature them as a garnish, but that's the route I took! In any case, it turned out well, with a delightful degree of flexibility: it can be as exotic or as accessible as you choose. Don't have ras el hanout spice mix? Use paprika.[...]
Compared to baking, cooking is an imprecise exercise. A simple beef stir fry in particular benefits from a free-form technique and a willingness to experiment, so while I have provided measurements for the ingredients I used in this particular combination... feel free to play fast and loose with flavors and adapt this recipe to whatever you have on hand. This is definitely a "until it look[...]
Meat cake? This has been in the back of my mind. Would it be possible to make a "cake" made of meat that actually looks like a real cake? I didn't think it was possible at all, but this one (although very time-consuming) looks pretty realistic. A wonderful choice for a special occasion celebrating someone who following the Whole30 reset protocol, for example, or who simply prefers not to consume[...]
I had a butternut squash to use up, so this vegetable tart was born! Isn't it fun how something utterly delicious can be the result of something so prosaic as the need for new fridge space? Since everything is better curried, I went that direction with the flavor profile and added sweet softened onions, golden raisins and a kick from red pepper flakes to really make this recipe my own. [...]
It may not look like much, but this Slow Cooker Curried Chicken Stew is something that I've made again and again. Each iteration a little different, because why not when it's such a simple formula? The delight is in the tweaking. I paired it with rice, here, but if you're avoiding grains then, by all means, enjoy it with some caulirice, heaped in a roasted bell pepper, or simply by[...]
This recipe uses a ham bone. My roommate hosted a party and I came home to a gorgeous ham bone with plenty of meat left on it that night, which I happily appropriated for service in future recipes. After the first few cups of ham went into the quiche, I boiled the bone for 4 hours to make a rich, savory ham stock for this vibrant split pea soup. If you have quality homemade broth alread[...]
