Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk

May 14, 2020 By msmart 14 Comments

Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk Homemade vanilla almond milk is about the only kind of almond milk I like. It’s not gummy and thick like most of the store bought varieties. And when it’s sweetened with dates and scented with real vanilla, it’s rich and delicious. Start with raw, unsalted almonds and soak them overnight (or…

Weekly Meal Plan

Here we go! October is upon us, and that means we may dip below 90 degrees in Houston any day now. It also means it’s time for one of my absolute favorite things: Round Top antiquing. I first heard about Round Top circa 1993 from one of my University of Colorado roommates who grew up…

Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 5

January 28, 2018 By msmart Leave a Comment

SUNDAY Instant Pot Korean Short Ribs from Nom Nom Paleo look insanely delicious. Pair them with steamed broccoli or bok choy and tangy slaw. To make the slaw Whole30, use almond butter instead of peanut butter and coconut aminos instead of soy. MONDAY Spiralized zucchini with almond-sesame sauce.

Cauliflower hummus

I’ve uncovered a trick to help you rock your Whole30: Good sauces, salad dressings and snacks to keep you satisfied. When I was prepping to teach a cooking workshop at The Vintage Roundtop recently, I wanted to include one of my favorite recipes for healthy 7-layer dip. I’ll post that recipe soon, but it’s basically…

Dairy-Free Creamy Tomato Soup

January 16, 2018 By msmart 2 Comments

easy weekly meal plan

When I was growing up, I loved a warm bowl of Campbell’s Tomato Soup and a side of buttery toast cut in triangles. It’s a cold and blustery day in Houston, and nothing sounds better than a big pot of creamy tomato soup. While I haven’t had a bowl of Campbell’s in at least two…

Holiday Granola to Feed a Crowd

December 8, 2017 By msmart 2 Comments

If you don’t have a large sheetpan, use two cookie sheets when baking the granola and rotate them halfway through. The granola needs to cook in a single layer so it toasts evenly. If you use dark baking pans, decrease the time by 10 minutes and check the granola while cooking to make sure it…

Whole30 meal plan

It’s the home stretch of my Whole30 experiment, but it will probably be my most challenging week because of travel. Eating at home is really the easiest way to pull this off. I’ve hit my stride of protein-packed breakfasts, easy lunches, and family-friendly dinners. But Tuesday I’m heading to San Francisco to pull off a…

Homemade Onion Soup Seasoning

October 22, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Trader Joe’s had a version of this that I loved, but for some reason they stopped selling it. I developed my own, and it’s so easy to throw together. This homemade onion seasoning is perfect for flavoring beef chuck roast for French dip sandwiches, mixed into burgers before they hit the grill or stirred into…

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…
