Real Food Menu for Week of 3.22.2021

Hooray for warmer weather and a pretty weekend! The past few days, I was finally able to spend a good bit of time outdoors. I trimmed up the rosemary shrub which was massively overgrown and replaced the fishing line around the herb garden. Pa Kettle told me which seeds I need to plant this week (beets, radishes and lettuces). I’m a little behind the game where the garden is concerned.

Here’s what’s happening in the kitchen:

Mark’s Breakfast:
A few weeks ago, Mark baked a double batch of breakfast cookies and packed the freezer with them. To make these gluten-free, substitute almond flour for the oat or wheat flour. We add a little extra cinnamon to the dry mix. These are great for breakfast on the go.

Mark’s Lunch:
Weeknight Taco Soup – This one just never gets old. We lighten up this recipe by substituting ground turkey for the beef. Another good keeper, this stores well in the fridge for a few days, or in the freezer for several weeks.

Dinners:

Copycat Alice Springs Chicken – New Recipe! Sometimes you want restaurant chicken, but you’re too lazy to put on pants and leave the house. We think this copycat is pretty darn close to Outback’s original. If you’ve got leftover honey mustard sauce, it’s delicious as a dip as well.

Carb Buster Breakfast – We {heart} breakfast for dinner. This savory, satisfying and simple (say that three times fast!) dinner comes together quickly on busy week nights.

Thai Veggie Noodle Salad – This fresh, crunchy salad is a good use for those veggies available this time of year. Don’t save this one for leftovers, it’s best eaten fresh.

Keto Meatballs and Sauce with Zoodles – This one is so tasty! The cream in the sauce cuts the acidity of the tomatoes. To make wide zoodles, slice a little off the side of the zucchini so that it lays flat on the cutting board. Use a vegetable peeler to slice thin, wide noodles. Saute them in coconut oil for a few minutes, just until tender. Very few things in life are worse than a mushy zoodle.

Snack:
Loaded Roasted Garlic Hummus – Greek Style – New Recipe! I used the linked recipe as a starting point and took some help from the grocery store in the form of premade garlic hummus. Top with your favorite toppers, give it a zhush of olive oil and your appetizer is ready!

Treat:
Blueberry Lemonade Muffins – In celebration of Spring, we’re busting out these little goodies. I’m substituting blueberries for strawberries. They’re equally delicious.

I hope this week brings you sunshine and loads of enjoyable time outdoors!

Real Food Menu for Week of 8.10.2020

We like to fix new recipes a time or two before recommending them on the blog. Often, they become instant favorites, or at least something we really enjoy and would make again. On the rare occasion we don’t care for one, we scrap it and move on. We hit on one recently and boy, is it a doozy! Like throw out the entire dish, bad. The combo of radish and garlic completely overwhelmed the apple and cucumber. Maybe I’ll try it again without the garlic? Nah. Sample if you’re brave:

Here are the keeper dishes that made the cut:

Breakfast for Mark:

Tomato and Cheese Pie

  • Servings: 4
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Print

Adapted from the Supermarket Diet Cookbook. This dish could be called Tomato Basil Pie because the ricotta and parmesan take a back seat to the fresh flavors of the other basil and tomato. Served warm or at room temperature, this pie makes a nice breakfast or brunch side dish.

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp. salt, plus additional for sprinkling
  • 1/8 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper, plus additional for sprinkling
  • 1/4 c. milk (I use almond or unsweetened coconut milk)
  • 1 T. cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 lb. ripe tomatoes (3 medium) thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, with whisk or fork, beat ricotta, eggs, parmesan, salt and pepper until blended.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch or arrowroot powder with milk until blended; whisk into cheese mixture. Stir in basil. Pour mixture into 9 inch glass or ceramic pie plate.
  3. Arrange tomato slices on top, overlapping if necessary. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake pie until lightly browned around edge and center is puffed, 30-35 minutes.
  5. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy! http://www.arthurizedhome.com

Mark’s Lunch:
Chop Chop Fresh Veggie Salad – Crunchy and delicious! Minus the olives and feta, because a certain someone still doesn’t care for them. *ahem*
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/chop-chop/

Dinner:

Carb Buster Breakfast – We never tire of breakfast for dinner. Protein and veggie-packed, this simple dinner is savory and satisfying.
https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a11666/carb-buster-breakfast/

Tuscan Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Creamy Garlic Sauce – Delish!
https://www.savorytooth.com/sun-dried-tomato-chicken/

Watermelon, Cucumber and Feta Salad – New! Simple, light and refreshing; perfect for using up garden produce these hot, summer days. That combination of cucumber, mint and lime is amazing!
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/watermelon-cucumber-feta-salad/

Mustard Glazed Baked Chicken Thighs – A favorite dinner; this one is kid-friendly (the mustard flavor is subtle) and quick to prepare.
https://unsophisticook.com/baked-chicken-thighs/

Snack:
Cannellini Lemon Dip – New! My thirteen year old niece pronounced this dip “really good” and then scolded my sister for taking “her” dip. Ha ha! I guess it’s a keeper too. I couldn’t find preserved lemon locally so I ordered it online. If possible, use a product with no preservatives or added sugars. Look for three ingredients: lemons, water and sea salt.
https://www.simplemills.com/Recipes/Cannellini-Lemon-Dip.aspx

Treat:
No Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip – This is one of those 10% treats. Minus the chocolate chips, this recipe is processed sugar-free. We use stevia sweetened chocolate chips. Hubs eats his with gluten free cookies, I’m having mine with apple slices. Gluten free pretzels are a tasty dipper as well.

Have a great new week, everyone!

Real Food Menu for Week of 10.13.2019

Well, if this isn’t the most autumnal menu, I don’t know what is! I think we’ve covered all of the bases with apples, pears, nuts, seeds, pumpkin and even a touch of pumpkin pie spice.

Breakfast:
Pumpkin Seed Granola – New Recipe! This is scrummy! (I feel like I don’t use that word enough in casual conversation.) I sweetened with monk fruit instead of maple syrup. Without the syrup to bind it, my granola didn’t form clusters when baked, but that doesn’t affect the flavor one bit. I added lots of cinnamon (3 tablespoons or so) and a dash of vanilla. Bonus points for making your house smell like pumpkin pie while it’s baking. This would be delicious with diced apples on top.

Bake until it’s golden brown.

Lunch:
Greek Chicken and Rice Bowls – New Recipe! We’ll leave the olives and feta out of Mark’s. The dressing is red, because I used the last of the purple basil from the herb garden. This recipe is a winner!
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/greek-chicken-rice-bowls/

Prepping lunches before the work week starts makes mornings smoother.

Dinner:

Spicy Pumpkin Chili – New Recipe! So good. I used 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes and one can of kidney beans and black beans. I omitted the chickpeas. We’re not anti-chickpea, I just didn’t have any on hand.
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/spicy-pumpkin-chili/

Autumn Pear and Goat Cheese Chicken Salad – New Recipe! Do yourself a favor, and make this salad. It’s amazing. I ran out of goat cheese, so I used parmesan. Delicious!

Blackened Salmon – New Recipe!

Snacks:
Nuts, Seeds, Greek Yogurt, Fruit, Popcorn, Cucumber Slices with Homemade Hummus

Treat:
Apples and Cinnamon Treat – I don’t know that I would call this a recipe, but if we have a craving for something sweet, this is a good option. Mark loved it!

I hope your week is a happy one!
