Homemade Ketchup

January 30, 2014by Brent Schrader16 Comments

Lately we’ve been experimenting with making our own condiments at home and we’re happy to share with you our recipe for homemade ketchup. Whether you call it ketchup, catsup (South-Eastern US), tomato sauce (Australia/New Zealand), or red sauce (Whales/Scotland), we can agree that this condiment is fairly ubiquitous and a worthwhile thing to keep in the refrigerator.

This is a straight-forward recipe that takes about 30 minutes start to finish; the longest part of the recipe is waiting for it to cool in order to dip in your sweet potato fries or use it as the base for our amazing barbecue sauce. We know you’ll love it.

Tomato Soup

January 29, 2014September 4, 2014by Brent Schrader8 Comments

One of the things we love, but haven’t had in a long time, is tomato soup. We’ve made tomato basil soup a few times in the past, and it’s been tasty. But this time, we wanted to spice things up a little bit. Especially with the winter weather we have been having, it’s nice to have a flavorful and rich bowl of tomato soup to welcome you after walking home from work.

This soup is not your traditional tomato soup, and we think you’ll appreciate the subtle differences. It is great accompanied with a salad, or as an appetizer before a larger entrée. Let us know what you think of this tasty tomato soup!

Crab-Stuffed Salmon

January 22, 2014January 21, 2014by Brent Schrader13 Comments

When thinking up new salmon recipes, we look for inspiration every where, even the local Costco. Costco sells crab-stuffed salmon year-round. Growing up, my parents would buy it on rare occasions, and it was always delicious. Heather and I often pick up salmon from Costco, but we’ve never bought the crab-stuffed salmon because we weren’t thrilled by the ingredient list.

Thankfully, we recently perfected our homemade mayonnaise recipe. It works as an amazing binder for recipes just like this one. We thoroughly recommend this salmon, as it’s a delicious dish that is great for a quiet night at home or for entertaining family and friends. With very little preparation, you’ll be enjoying this for dinner and wow’ing everyone in no time.

Osso Buco

January 15, 2014January 15, 2014by Brent Schrader6 Comments

Osso Buco (also known as ossobuco, Italian for “bone with a hole”) is an amazing dish, but can definitely come off as intimidating for the occasional home cook. While it is often served at fancier restaurants, it is very easy to make at home—and can even be created using one dish! Osso buco is traditionally made with veal shanks, but in this case we’ve used beef. Additionally, the original version of this dish does not include any tomato, so it may be adapted for those on an autoimmune paleo protocol. Interestingly enough, there is a version that includes cinnamon as well.

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

January 1, 2014January 5, 2014by Heather Schrader8 Comments

This stuffed mushroom recipe came about somewhat in a “kitchen sink” experiment. We had crab meat in the refrigerator we wanted to use and mushrooms that we bought and needed to be used.

These little crab stuffed mushrooms are delicious, and make a great finger food. We hope to make it again as soon as we have an opportunity to go to or host a gathering of friends and family.
