ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND GARLIC
Ghee Basted Steak - Alone
As I successfully crest the mid way point of WHOLE30, my craving for sugar has subsided considerably, a welcomed part of the program’s process that makes the month long lifestyle change exponentially easier. Still, I feel the unmistakable tug of unadulterated red meat a couple times a week, and more times than not, with nothing else. This simple, quick recipe using WHOLE30 compliant ghee in lieu of traditional butter is as satisfying as any other meal in my program repertoire.
The ESSENTIAL Sunny-Side-Up Egg
Growing up, my favorite way to eat eggs was always SUNNY SIDE UP; something about the bright yellow, wobbly egg that yielded it’s own rich sauce when broken over buttered toast or hash browns sent me into a state of utter ecstasy…even as I’m writing this my mouth is watering.
My deep affinity for this simple, but delicious preparation of eggs has been revisited weekly during my month long journey into the WHOLE30 program; fried in ghee or olive oil then slipped over roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed onions and kale…or sometimes over simple cast iron seared steak. This month has forced a paradigm shift in the way I cook and eat…and nothing has been more important or profound in this exercise than my recollection and renewed love for the simple, but iconic SUNNY SIDE UP EGG.
THREE NOG NIGHT Crème Brûlée
Crème Brûlée and Egg Nog are truly two of our favorite things…especially this time of year. So, we thought it only fitting that we combine these two masterwork delights into one super dessert. One will do the trick, but if you devour three, expect the Holiday Sugar Plum Fairies to still be dancing in your head the morning after!
Seeded Black Lentils with Greek Yogurt and Mint
Onward and upward in 2021! What a crazy year we’ve had, so we have no problem subscribing to foods that have been foretold to bring good luck and prosperity. This new year’s vegetarian recipe is the bomb, plus Lentils are traditionally served on New Year's Eve after midnight and are said to bring good luck because of their coin like shape. Cha-ching!
