Creamy Chicken Marsala

Chicken.  Marsala.  Oh, heck yes.  I love chicken marsala.  Seriously, one of my favorite flavors of all time.  Oh man.  Umm, the best.  Yikes, I need to watch it or this could starting to sound like a line from Fifty Shades of Grey, all this oooh-ing and aaah-ing. Which, by the way, I haven't heard anything about the movie?  Has anyone seen it yet?? Or are you all too hesitant to watch it in the theater.  Waiting for the DVD, eh?  I couldn't … [Read more...]

Un-Buns

Primal.  Nut free.  Grain Free.  Flour free. How do you make sturdy, fluffy, pliable buns out of whole food ingredients?  EGGS!  That's right, the main ingredient that takes traditional processed sandwich buns and turns them into UN-buns is eggs.  The egg is so darn versatile.  These rolls, do need a bit of dairy though or they just don't work the same way.  So far in my attempts without diary, the rolls were crumbly and didn't quite hold … [Read more...]

Warm Tomato Eggplant Relish

This recipe completes the meal shown below: Cracklin' Chicken (from Nom Nom Paleo) served with Caramelized Cauliflower and Warm Tomato Eggplant Relish. This relish is both spicy and sweet.  It was one of those Chopped nights in the house where I opened the fridge, looked at the veggies I had on hand and thought hmm, "what can I do with all of this?"  With the cauliflower tossed in the oven, and the chicken cracklin' away, this quick relish … [Read more...]

Caramelized Cauliflower

If you haven't figured it out by now, I love roasting vegetables.  Roasting makes any vegetable better.  Ok, maybe not iceberg lettuce, but you catch my drift.  There's just no better flavor than that caramelized sweetness that comes from roasting. Lately with my schedule it's been all about simplicity.  Quick and easy does it these days.  This dish is no exception. … [Read more...]

Cracklin’ Chicken (from Nom Nom Paleo)

Today's recipe is adapted from the amazing Michelle Tam of Nom Nom Paleo whom I got to meet briefly at her book signing in my Seattle neighborhood!!  As you can see below, the place was packed with a line out the door. I've already made this three times.  So easy and so good.  Perfect for quick weeknight dinners.  I had to share her Cracklin' Chicken recipe because I just enjoy it that much.  Of course you can also head to her site to … [Read more...]

Tuscan Salad with Tuna Steak

If ever I'm in a food rut, I turn to the food network.  As soon as I watch  show, I get inspired with flavor combinations, ingredients, and dishes.  That's where this one came from.  It's an adaptation of a Bobby Flay recipe that combines classic Tuscan flavors like lemon, fennel, rosemary, tuna, basil, olives, and anchovies. Do you read "anchovies" with a scowl?  You like caesar salad right?  What do you think is in that dressing?  Delicious … [Read more...]
