What’s so great about these recipes?

  • They’re formulated to have your health in mind.
  • They’re created using whole foods and limited processed ingredients.
  • The recipes are super easy to follow and delicious.
  • Each recipe provides notes for substitutions to help you if you don’t have a particular ingredient on hand.
  • There are photos so you know what your meal can look like!
  • Most of these recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free if that’s important to you (Some recipes do have dairy but you can change it up if you can’t eat it).
  • Most of these recipes are created with a family of four (4) in mind but feel free to double recipes or freeze leftovers if you need to.

This week I got my first batch of green garlic in the veggie box!⁠
⁠
Green garlic, or spring garlic, is a younger version of the garlic we know well and use in our cooking. It’s milder and can be used in many recipes. You can eat the white and green parts.⁠
⁠
It has a white base like a green onion although it’s a bit bigger and its green stems are more flat than rounded. ⁠
⁠
The younger version of this garlic has the same amazing health benefits as its older version making it an excellent addition to your recipes.⁠
⁠
Not to mention it’s local and can basically be grown anywhere which is fantastic news for our environment.⁠
⁠
Health Benefits of Garlic:⁠
⁠
⚡️Helps to reduce cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure⁠
Garlic’s sulfur-containing compounds can be beneficial to the upper digestive tract.⁠
⚡️We need to eat garlic in our meals at least 2-3 times a week in order to see these health benefits.⁠
⚡️Use it raw and cooked. Raw garlic retains its health benefits more so than when it is cooked.⁠
⚡️Dried garlic doesn’t have the same effect as raw or cooked. Tastes good though!⁠
⁠
⚡️A Quick Recipe: Quinoa (or rice or millet) with Green Garlic⚡️⁠
⁠
Slice the ends off of the green garlic and thinly slice the entire vegetable including the green parts.⁠
⁠
Put a tablespoon of olive oil into a pan and sauté the green garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add quinoa (about 1-2 cups) and stir. Add a bit of salt and pepper and voila! You have a flavourful side dish. ⁠

My brother-in-law Steve spent a large portion of o My brother-in-law Steve spent a large portion of our Christmas dinner sharpening my knives. I was so grateful, but also hesitant that I would cut myself.⁠
⁠
When I started cooking with my newly-sharpened knives, I was in awe.⁠
⁠
Sharp knives make all the difference when it comes to enjoying cooking. It's also safer if you can believe it.⁠
⁠
With a sharp knife, you're less likely to push down harder on the knife trying to get it through an onion, for example.⁠
⁠
It just slices through with little pressure. ⁠
⁠
Dull knives leave room for error and slicing fingers (listen, I've cut a few fingers over the years...).⁠
⁠
If you're having trouble enjoying cooking at home, I encourage you to either get a new knife (it doesn't have to be expensive), or get someone to sharpen your knives for you (call a Steve in your area!).⁠
⁠
Take care of them with a little holder and treat them kindly. Having a sharp knife will bring you one step closer to love cooking at home.⁠

Keep Meals Simple Friends! I’ve said this befor Keep Meals Simple Friends!

I’ve said this before: keep your meals simple. 

Pick meals that take fewer than 20 minutes or less to cook so you’re not scrambling during the week to make dinner and keep the elaborate meals for the weekend.

Another idea is to choose a couple of veggies to roast on Sunday that you can use for various meals during the week. 

Roasted sweet potatoes are great with chicken thighs, but also taste fantastic in a frittata or taco. 

Cook once, eat twice (or three times).

Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep it simple and nourishing and it get easier over time.

Mondays are our busy nights. I have tennis (so fun Mondays are our busy nights. I have tennis (so fun!) and my son has soccer. ⁠
⁠
That's why I make sure to make Mondays an easier night for dinner. ⁠
⁠
Enter salads and bowls!⁠
⁠
Last Monday, I made a salad bowl with arugula, leftover rice, olives, tomatoes, chicken, and feta, and wowee it was yummers!⁠
⁠
By prepping ingredients, the kids can take what they want and leave what they don't want (eh-hem, tomatoes) and we have a meal full of elements that will keep us satisfied and nourished.⁠
