Roasted Chicken, Leek and Kale Soup

Roasted Chicken, Leek and Kale soup

(aka leftover soup)

I’ve fallen in love with soup. Any kind of soup. As long as it's fresh, healthy and organic. This one is all three!

If, per chance, you happen to have half a roasted chicken, a package of kale and three leeks on hand, this is what you make for dinner.

Easy, delicious, hearty and homemade—what could be better?

Pork Osso Buco with Riced Cauliflower Risotto

I love Osso Buco. If it’s on the menu, that’s my order. No matter the restaurant—

corner diner to top of the line fancy-pants eatery. Osso Buco is a classic Italian stew and full of flavor. Now if you’re a traditionalist, you probably want to remind me that Osso Buco is veal dish. Well, yes. But, I prefer to use pork. First off, I like the price tag—pork costs about half. Second reason, I find the pork to be a more tender meat. And a tender Osso Buco is The Bomb.  

Serve this hearty stew with Cauliflower Risotto (recipe below)

Chicken and Mushroom Curry

I made chicken tonight.
Chicken with mushrooms and onions and turmeric and chili paste and garlic.
And it was delicious.

Paleo Ground Beef Kebabs with Tzatziki Sauce

Yesterday, I made yogurt—a ton—so much yogurt that I’ve been goggling “leftover yogurt” and “recipe” since this morning. After quite a bit of meandering, I decided to make Tzatziki and kebabs. And they were delicious! Lamb is the preferred meat for this recipe, but I happened to have a pound of ground beef on hand and found it to be a wonderful variation.

Delicious Esquites, A Mexican Sweet Corn Salad Recipe

Esquites is Mexican Street corn, but I've adapted the recipe to make a summer corn salad that's the best corn salad you are ever going to eat—EVER. Even if you think you already make a kicking corn salad, you have to try this recipe. Have to. It’s that delicious. Roasted corn flavored with cumin, chili powder, butter and mayo, it has all the flavors of Mexican street corn without all the fuss.

Traditional Esquites calls for fresh corn, but I’ve found that frozen not only tastes just as delicious, but halves the prep time.
