Thai Basil Sambal Noodles

About a week and a half ago, we were challenged to put together a recipe that was inspired by some of the delicious options over at P.F. Chang’s. This recipe was a result of that experiment, as was the recent ginger chicken. This is a delicious dish, and I would definitely recommend it.

Our spicy coconut sambal sauce is definitely spicier, but this can be easily circumvented by deseeding the serrano peppers or using a milder pepper in its place. Either way, this was a dish that had the house smelling amazing for hours, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Midwestern-Style Beer Bratwurst

As a Wisconsin-born American, I grew up loving three things: the Green Bay Packers, cheese, and bratwurst. I still avidly participate in two of these three things (cheese, while delicious, usually makes my body sad). We used to do a brat fry every weekend, even in the winters with average temperatures many degrees below freezing.

We always would grill the brats, and then cook them down in a beer sauce with butter and onion. This delicious broth added flavor to the bratwurst while cooking them all the way through after browning them on the grill. After a conversation with my dad, he mentioned that at the weekend cook-outs at church functions, they were unable to cook with the beer because there are kids eating. We all know the alcohol cooks off when boiled, but nevertheless, they would substitute beer with chicken broth. This was a great find, and surprisingly just as awesome.

Alex Boake’s Super Garlic Cabbage Salad

May 23, 2013September 22, 2014by Brent Schrader8 Comments

Over the past year or so, we’ve been really fortunate to make friends in the “paleo” community, and today’s recipe is from our friend Alex Boake. She actually learned this from her boyfriend’s dad, but nonetheless, this recipe caught my eye for a few reasons. Garlic and cabbage were reasons one and two. I love making cabbage slaw and cole slaw, but they are admittedly more time consuming.

Supreme Quiche

We used to order delivery pizza a couple times a month–it was either that or Chinese food–whenever we were over-stressed by work and grad school or simply just too tired and lazy after an excessively long day. It was easy. It was fast. It was tasty. But delivery doesn’t save you money and it definitely doesn’t help you stay healthy. So, we created the supreme pizza quiche after the pizza we used to order most often. It’s like eating pizza for breakfast, but a way healthier version. Who wouldn’t want that on occasion? YUMM.

Seafood Alfredo

May 15, 2013November 19, 2013by Brent Schrader8 Comments

This Mother’s Day, we were able to take over my mother’s kitchen and really go to town on cooking some recipes not just for food for the week, but for me to pay homage to my mom, who really turned me on to cooking. One of my favorite recipes she used to always make for me is her seafood fettuccine alfredo, which is absolutely to die for. It is also full of dairy and wheat. While I love that recipe, it definitely doesn’t fit into my current lifestyle, and I would hate to remember it for how it would inevitably make me feel now than how great it tasted.
