Primal Jambalaya. There’s nothing easier than throwing a bunch of fresh ingredients into a pot and calling it dinner! We love this cooking method which is why we put together this Primal twist on a classic Louisiana Creole dish. It includes three kinds of meat and a bunch of veggies that are all brought together in a savory tomato sauce. And of course it wouldn’t be Primal if we included the traditional rice, so we used pulverized cauliflower as a rice substitution. Give this dish a try and let us know what you think in the comment board! Ingredients: 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces 1 lb andouille sausage, cut into ¼ inch thick slices 1/4 cup olive oil 1 cup onion, chopped 1 large bell pepper, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced crushed 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained 1.5 cups chicken stock 1/2 tsp dried leaf thyme 1 tbsp parsley (fresh is preferable, but dried will do in a pinch!)
Not Sure What to Eat? Ideas 4 Recipes: Free Recipe Idea & Finder Tool. MOZZARELLA STICKS WITH BUTTERMILK DIP. When I told my friends I was planning on making homemade mozzarella sticks for a guy’s weekend out of town the idea was met with a profound lack of enthusiasm. Everybody knows that I like to experiment in the kitchen, but somehow the idea of making a bar food staple like mozzarella sticks from scratch seemed like a complete waste of time to the group. After being lectured about the innumerable brands available in the freezer section at the grocery store and a heated debate about whether marinara or ranch is the better dipping accompaniment, I decided to risk further heckling and see if I couldn’t one-up T.G.I.
Friday’s in my own kitchen. It might have been the alcohol, but the first batch was gone within a matter of seconds. Simultaneously crispy and gooey, these mozzarella sticks seem to defy the laws of physics and flavor. After the second batch had been demolished, a few halfhearted concessions came my way; they had to admit, homemade outranked frozen by a long shot. Serves 4. Cheddar Corn Chowder. When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.”
It’s about a boy whose day goes from bad to worse – waking up with gum in his hair, being squished in the backseat of the car, having to eat lima beans. And then the president goes and wins the Nobel Peace Prize. So, Alexander dreams of running off to Australia. I thought about Alexander yesterday while I was on my way home from visiting the family. My shirt was covered in spit-up, courtesy of my niece, who can shoot milk through her nose like bolts of lightning, even in her sleep. So, I’m driving down the interstate, reeking of sour milk, and I remember I need to pick up Jeff from work, because his car is dead.
Crap. And just then, almost imperceptibly at first, my battery light flickers. No. I turn off the radio and anything else electrical and pray and use every Lamaze breathing technique ever featured in a TV sitcom to get the car home through sheer force of will. Mozilla Firefox. Cinnamon bun pie pockets. You know those days when you wake up and your heart just feels full? Yep, right here. Full. And inspired. And humbled. Wishing you all a great and meaningful weekend.

Well, since these cookies have peanut butter and banana in them, maybe that can at least partially count as health food. ;) Read more I probably should have poured a nice stiff drink recipe for you all on this loveliest of lovely tax days.
Instead though, I thought I’d offer my idea of a more comforting alternative. Read more This past Friday night was meant for celebrating. The weather was sit-out-on-the-deck-in-the-cool-evening-breeze perfection. Read more TGIF, friends. Hope that you all have had a lovely week, and that a relaxing weekend lies ahead. Read more Ever since my friends and I met for a tapas happy hour at our neighborhood Spanish restaurant a few weeks ago, I’ve had sangria on my mind. Read more Read more. Homemade pop tarts.
I never had a Pop-Tart until college. I realize that for some people this may cause a shocked reaction on par with my husband’s the time I told him I’ve never watched Goonies before (or Jacob’s, upon discovering the internet). Obviously I grew up under a rock, right? Thus, given my proximity to concrete-like materials you’d think I have been better prepared for the texture of the one I purchased from the vending machine in the basement of my freshman dorm (not at 4 a.m. or anything, either, nope, not this angel!).
But I was not. It was like particle board, but even particle board has a fresher aroma. It took two hands to break off a piece. I choked down my first bite, then chugged some water, convinced bits were stuck in my throat. I understand that if I had toasted it, my experience might have been better. I can’t believe I waited so long to make these. One year ago: Black Bread Homemade Pop Tarts Adapted from King Arthur Flour 1 additional large egg (to brush on pastry) Related.
