Instant Pot Spicy Beef Soup

November 1, 2017October 31, 2017by Brent Schrader4 Comments

Now that we’re experiencing colder weather, it seems that people are getting sick left and right. We weren’t immune to whichever bug was floating around last week. Otto and I caught our first colds of the season (and his first ever). We dutifully suctioned his passageways and tried to make him as comfortable as possible, while I found solace in menthol, tea, and plenty of rest.

To help clear the congestion, I wanted to make an easy, spicy soup that would help open me up. This soup did the trick. Plus, it’s a one-pot meal and was done within an hour. We know you’ll enjoy this soup in cold weather and hope you don’t need to break it out to fight a cold.

Wirsing in Sahnesauce (Savoy Cabbage in Cream Sauce)

October 25, 2017October 31, 2017by Brent Schrader2 Comments

This past weekend, after we returned from Canada on Friday, we went to Virginia to visit my parents and my aunt. Saturday morning, before we arrived, they visited their local farmers market and picked up a beautiful head of Savoy cabbage for us to bring home. With this head of cabbage came a challenge: how would we use this for a recipe to share with the world?

After some research, we found some fun German preparations of Savoy cabbage—wirsing, auf Deutsch—and this sautéed cabbage with bacon and a “cream sauce” was a must. The hint of nutmeg really brings a winter-y warmth to this recipe that will only get better as the temperature continues to drop. We hope you’ll enjoy this dish as a savory side dish or a main dish. Guten Appetit!

Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing and Marinade

October 18, 2017by Brent SchraderLeave a comment

Today I am writing sitting on the corner of a hotel bed in Canada. The family travelled here for a work event, and Otto and I have the day to ourselves. Otto was a champion on his first two flights, and we are hoping for similar luck on our return voyage. We may have caught a cold from recycled airplane air or the sudden change in temperature, so we’re taking it slow this morning.

Before we left the states, we whipped up a Caesar salad dressing that is dairy- and gluten-free. We love using salad dressings to spice up our vegetables and to marinate meats, but buying store-bought dressings is usually either expensive or a compromise in ingredient quality. Its hard to believe it took us over 6 years in our paleo journey to figure this out, and we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.

Creamy Mushroom Chicken Thighs

February 8, 2017February 7, 2017by Brent SchraderLeave a comment

A few weeks ago, we found out about a factory seconds All Clad sale, and I went a little bit overboard. One of the spoils of our bounty was a gorgeous 6-quart, sauté pan. This thing is out of control, and is now a go-to cooking utensil for our morning breakfasts as well as dinner. Our previous sauté pan of a similar size is starting to warp, and this was an awesome opportunity to upgrade.

For our christening of this new pan, we wanted to bring you an easy and delicious recipe that will feed you and your whole family. Having a one-pot recipe that will last a couple of days is great for time management, cleanup, and convenience. We know you’re going to enjoy this recipe.
