One-Pan Chicken, Sausage and Mushroom Roast

May 16, 2018May 15, 2018by Heather SchraderLeave a comment

This dish came about one weekday evening as we scrambled to get something put together for dinner without any planning. We had a bunch of mushrooms and a few chicken thighs that we needed to use. We also had a handful of Italian pork sausages. As it turned out, the combination of those things with a simple drizzle of olive oil and some spices was rather tasty. It was so good, in fact, we have made it a few times and decided we needed to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it!

Last week we shared with you our homemade habanero guacamole. While it’s great on its own, we also put together this great taco bowl for your taco Tuesdays (and other days that end in -y). This taco bowl is saucy and flavorful without being overly sweet or complicated.

Whether you have the spiced ground beef over a bowl of iceberg lettuce or with guacamole, you’ll easily keep your net carbohydrates low (so long as you don’t eat the full recipe with guacamole in one sitting!) if you’re following a ketogenic diet. Although you’ll be tempted to eat it all in one go, we know you’ll manage your moderation.

Keto or no, you’ll feel full and ready to get after it.

Homemade Habanero Guacamole

May 2, 2018by Heather Schrader1 Comment

I recently had a craving for Mexican food, and one of my favorite things is a good guacamole. It’s delicious, satiating, and guilt-free. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken us this long to share our recipe with you. We were first going to share it as part of a larger taco bowl recipe, but we realized this is too good to not stand alone.

It’s simple and perfect for snacking with veggies (celery, bell pepper sliced, etc.), pork rinds or gluten-free chips, and it makes a great topping for scrambled eggs and homemade tacos or burrito bowls. Note: The habanero has me nervous the first day because it’s flavor was punchy. But it mellowed by the second day and added just the right sweet heat to the guac. We hope you enjoy it!

Almond Butter Curried Chicken

April 25, 2018April 24, 2018by Heather Schrader2 Comments

True story: When I met Brent back in 2010, I was living on salads, cereal, spaghetti and (store-bought frozen) meatballs. Every so often I would get the urge to make something that was relatively fancy or sophisticated. One go-to was a peanut butter curry. I would heat and stir peanut butter, milk, and curry powder in a sauce pan until melted and fully blended. Then, I would add some extra salt, pepper, garlic and/or red pepper flakes for extra heat. I typically cooked the chicken separately and simply slathered on the sauce just before serving.

Reflecting back on that, I have to laugh. I had no idea dairy was the cause of all my sinus issues and I never even thought to look at the peanut butter ingredients on the label; I just purchased whichever brand was cheapest! I’ve come a long way, but sometimes, I still crave that peanut butter curry. Even though we are not strict about legumes, I usually don’t buy peanut butter. So, when I planned this recipe, I decided to use almond butter. I made a few other enhancements, too, including using the tagine so it could all cook together and make the chicken super tender. I hope you enjoy it as much as Brent, Otto, and I did! (Yes, our nearly 11-month-old had some and loved it!)

Brazilian Diced Tomato Salad (Vinagrete)

April 11, 2018April 10, 2018by Brent SchraderLeave a comment

So far this year, a high-fat, low-carb diet has been my modus operandi; it’s great for mental clarity, has eliminated hunger, and helped me a lot with losing weight. All of this has been awesome, but it has also meant going without many salads. It is much easier to focus on low carbs by avoiding them altogether, but that isn’t always the best solution for health and performance. As I’ve started running more, and dipped my toe in the water of racing, it has become apparent that my diet warrants some modifications.

This vinagrete was such a great surprise, and reminiscent of a pico de gallo. Even though spring is avoiding us here in the Washington, D.C., area, the mix of fresh tomatoes, cucumber, oil, vinegar, and herbs is refreshing and simple. It is great on top of your favorite protein (meat, fish, chicken) or on its own as a side salad. We bet it’s great over scrambled eggs, too.

However you choose to enjoy this vegetarian/vegan dish, we know you’ll love it.
