Will a sheet pan work instead of a skillet? Yep – it sure will! Just make sure to use a sheet pan with a lip around the edges so the juices from the chicken and tomatoes don’t make a mess. We chose to use an oven-safe skillet, mostly because it looks prettier for photos, but a sheet pan will work just as well! You can even line it with parchment paper to make clean up that much easier....

Swaps you can make for the topping We created this recipe so you could use various options in the topping to fit your dietary needs. Here are some swaps you can make to tailor it to your needs: Cassava flour or almond flour will work (if you use almond flour see the note on ghee/coconut oil below).Either maple sugar or coconut sugar will do the trick. If you use almond flour, you’ll only need 1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil....

Healthy Tuna Salad Recipe What kind of canned tuna should I use? Canned tuna is a convenient and nutritious pantry staple that can be used in a variety of dishes. There are many different types of canned tuna available, and each type has its own unique flavor and texture. Here are some of the most common types of canned tuna you can generally find on grocery store shelves, and how they differ from each other:...

Salted vs. Unsalted Butter: We highly recommend you use salted butter in this recipe. If you need to use unsalted, you will want to add 1/4 teaspoon salt to your melted butter. Nuts: We understand that nut allergies are a real thing, and so many are omitting nuts to play it safe. Pecans in this recipe are completely optional and can be left out for any reason. Coconut: We love the added texture and sweetness the coconut brings to this recipe....

This snack takes the idea of your standard nut mix and, thanks to the addition of some fresh herbs, cayenne, butter, and maple syrup, adds some sweet heat to the situation. A Last-Minute Party Snack This is not a make-ahead snack. You have to wait until the last minute to bring it together—preferably 15 to 20 minutes before people arrive. This is best consumed soon after it’s made because if the nuts sit too long, the melted butter hardens on the nuts and they just get a little slimy....

We even add it to burgers for a unique Cajun flavor. This type of seasoning originated in Louisiana, the home of Cajun cooking....

It’s like comparing homemade truffles to a Hershey’s bar from last year’s Halloween. It’s just not even a contest. Real homemade hot chocolate is thick, rich, and the real essence of what chocolate in a glass on a cold day should be. Hot Chocolate vs. Hot Cocoa How is hot chocolate different from hot cocoa? Hot chocolate is basically like drinking a melted candy bar; the chopped chocolate contains cocoa butter which makes it richer and smoother....

Check. Take elderberry syrup (it’s antiviral). Check. Keep warm. Check. Hot Lemon and Honey Tea Comforts a Sore Throat Another thing on the list that is especially comforting when one has a cold is a hot cup of honey and lemon tea....

But if you’re looking for maximum flavor and texture, the way you slice your meat is just as important as how you season it. Thin Strips Yield More Flavor and Texture You’re probably familiar with recipes that instruct you to cut your chicken or steak into one-inch pieces before skewering. Uniform chunks of meat cook evenly, so that’s something. But another technique will yield even more flavor and texture: slicing your meat or vegetables into thin strips!...

Black tea is commonly used to make sun tea, but you can make sun tea from any flavor of tea you’d like. To get the strength you want, you may need to experiment with the number of tea bags if using a more mildly flavored tea. Containers for Brewing Sun Tea Glass is preferable over plastic for brewing sun tea because the heat from the sun can cause the plastic to alter the flavor of the tea and possibly leach some chemicals into it....

In the case of chicken or beef stock, the stock comes from cooking bones in water on low heat, for several hours. With vegetable stock, there are no bones to cook, so the richness of the stock comes from the variety of vegetables you use. A big thanks to Hank Shaw who shared his method for making veggie stock with me, after tiring of hearing me complain about a boxed version I had used....

Meal Prepping Over The Weekend It’s no secret, we are chronic meal planners. Both Justin and I are very routine and habit based, and we love having our meals all planned out in advance, shopped for and prepped to the extent we have time. It just makes the week go so much smoother, and makes us feel like we are able to just enjoy one another in the evenings rather than hustling to figure out what’s for dinner and then run to grab ingredients, etc....

You can add mustard, mayo, cheese and veggies in between the layers, or just a slice of cheese for the simplest version. Either way, I suspect you won’t miss the bun. I used to love bread, but now I consider it as an unnecessary filler (Though I still have several good recipes for keto bread). I’d much rather have an extra delicious beef patty than have just one patty sandwiched in bread!...

Why Low Carb? If you have been following along with our recipes lately, you might have noticed that we’ve published some recipes tagged as “Keto”. While we are not totally following a Ketogenic diet ourselves, we recognize that the number of people following the diet has grown significantly and there is some overlap with Paleo, Whole30 and Keto recipes (sometimes). If you are looking for some more information on the Ketogenic diet, here are a few links:...

It’s an easy recipe, too, ready in about 30 minutes, making it appropriate for a quick weeknight meal. As a mom, chicken tenders are one of the dishes I make quite often.

Zoodles For Days We love using spiralized zoodles for noodles, especially in the summer when our garden is full of zucchini. Last year we planted two zucchini plants in our garden and had to give SO much zucchini away because there was no way we’d ever get through it all! This year we planted one plant, and I suspect we will still be giving lots of it away! We will make easy and fresh dinners like this lemon garlic shrimp pasta all summer as we use the fresh veggies from our garden!...
