I was really tired on a Friday night and was vegging out watching YouTube after a long work week. While I was surfing for videos to watch, I caught a Tasty video about African party rice recipes. I love a good rice recipe. I also love a good ethnic recipe. I had never heard of [...]
Bolognese sauce is one of the standard sauces in Italian cuisine. It's a meat sauce which is totally delicious. Because it is a meat sauce, it's also a lot of saturated fat and calories. Then pair it with pasta and you have a nutritional nightmare. Fear not, the humble lentil saves the day! Sorchapud posted [...]
I am ALWAYS on the hunt for new recipes. I am a YouTube chef channel junkie. I'll admit I watch a lot of recipes that I know I'm never going to make. Chef Steps is a great channel, but most of what they do is made for the professional kitchen. Fun to watch, but I [...]
We love spaghetti squash here at home. This week I needed something simple that I could throw together without a lot of fuss. I saw a recipe for spaghetti squash toss and instead of just adding a few things to the recipe, I decided to change it up. Spaghetti squash is as versatile as pasta, [...]
We love tagine recipes over at our house. A tagine is an earthenware pot with a triangular lid. Most of us do not have one of these laying around, but you can make tagine recipes with what you have at home. What's awesome about these recipes is they are fairly healthy. They contain vegetables and [...]
I was watching America's Test Kitchen and their gumbo recipe. It is as authentic as it gets. However, it uses high sodium ingredients and a roux, which is not gluten-free. I am also really busy this weekend and I need the slow cooker to do the work for me. I decided to develop my own [...]
One thing that I don't do with my cooking, if you haven't noticed already, is cook with pasta. There are two reasons: I am gluten-free and the calories aren't worth it. Pasta, either gluten-free or not is about 200 calories per cup. No nutritional value. Luckily, Tony and I don't crave pasta at all. That's [...]
Looking through my pile of recipes, this one caught my attention. What's not to love about a soup with beef, brown rice and mushrooms? The original recipe from Very Well uses some high sodium ingredients like canned mushrooms and reduced sodium beef broth. Yep, reduced sodium beef broth is still too much sodium for a [...]
Since I did a stew after Thanksgiving with the turkey carcass, I thought I would give you another option for the dark meat you saved from the deconstructed turkey. I found a slow cooker recipe that I could make work for my dark meat turkey. Braising is the best way to cook the dark meat [...]
Bigos is a Polish hunter's stew. It contains bacon, pork, and polish sausage. All things that taste good, but could raise your sodium for the day through the roof. I love Polish food. With Hamtramk about an hour from here, we know good authentic Polish food. This recipe is one that needs to preserve the [...]
