Homemade Taco Seasoning

October 15, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

Why make your own taco seasoning you say? Well, I’ll tell you. So many of the store bought mixes have msg or dextrose or flour or too much sodium. And it’s so easy to make your very own homemade taco seasoning. Most likely, all you need to do is walk to your pantry and get…

WHOLE 30 MEAL PLAN WEEK 2 It’s a Sunday that feels like a Saturday. My kiddos had a 4-day weekend from school, which doesn’t mean it’s a 4-day weekend for me. There are cooking classes to prepare for, blog posts to complete and recipes to test. But I can’t complain because I snuck off by…

Weekly Meal Plan: October 2-6

October 1, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

WHOLE 30 MEAL PLAN WEEK ONE Truth be told, I want to try Whole 30 for the month of October, but I’m a little scared. I’m jumping in and giving it a shot anyway. I’ve been pinning Whole 30 recipes and meal plans and taking copious notes. The basic premise is if you eliminate sugar,…

Simple Roasted Salmon

September 18, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Simple Roasted Salmon

Simple roasted salmon to the rescue! Roasted salmon keeps the mess off your stove and in the oven. No more splatters of fishly smelling oil hitting your stove and counter top after sautéing filets in a pan. White wine keeps the fish moist, and a fresh sprinkling of herbs and lemon wakes up the flavor…

Arugula, Basil and Avocado Pesto

May 17, 2017 By msmart 4 Comments

Pesto

Pesto, Reinvented We’ve evolved a bit this year. Now that our dinners are centered around a gluten-free and dairy-free main dish, we’ve started changing up some of our favorite recipes so they’ll work for our family. This arugula, basil and avocado pesto is one of the happy outcomes of months of recipe testing and tweaking. Arugula was added to…

Pork Chile Verde

weekly meal plan

Earlier this year, we had an interesting run in with food allergies around here. After a blood test showed that our oldest had 20 class III food allergies, I had to cook pretty creatively until we could get her into Texas Children’s Allergy and Immunology Center. During that time, I scoured cookbooks and the internet to…

Whole30 Pickled Red Onions

January 31, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Mexican food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, please. I’ll start with huevos rancheros or chilaquiles and then move on to tacos, tacos, tacos. Take a super simple grilled chicken and top it with tangy tomatillo salsa and some pickled red onions, and you’re elevating it a completely different beast. Sure, filling your tortilla with crispy-edged carnitas or a…

Chicken Lettuce Cups

January 3, 2017 By msmart 7 Comments

Ground Chicken Lettuce Cups Chicken lettuce cups are a family favorite, and making them has become second nature to me. My kids ask for these about once a week. It’s one of those dinners that gets put together in 15 minutes once you have it down. You can work as you go, which I don’t…

Lamb Meatballs

October 27, 2016 By msmart 2 Comments

Ground meat magic: Pork and beef bolognese, lamb keema, chicken lettuce tacos… the list goes on. It cooks quickly and can make meat more palatable for picky eaters. Elevating it with seasonings, egg and bread crumbs and rolling into two-bite meatballs is a comfort food coup. The trick with these lamb meatballs is to chop the onions into small pieces…

Spatchcocked Chicken

Spatchcocked chicken

Spatchcocked Chicken to the Rescue Spring is here, which feels like riding a bike downhill with no handlebars. We’ve been running in circles at our house, getting to Little League games, dance recital rehearsals, planning two April birthday parties and trying to figure out what everyone will be doing this summer before all the decent day camps are…
