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.

Homemade Mayonnaise

January 18, 2014by Brent Schrader29 Comments

A big part of many recipes we come across or think up call for homemade mayonnaise. Once upon a time, I would buy it at the store and Heather actually thought it was gross—homemade or not. Now, we both shudder when reading the labels but Heather has come to enjoy our homemade stuff. This is definitely not the first recipe for homemade mayonnaise out there; but we’ve been playing with this for a few months, and are finally happy enough with the results to share with you.

The best part of this recipe is that it only takes about 10 minutes to make from start to finish. It will keep for a few weeks, and is a great condiment to have in the house for all kinds of fun recipes. It’s a perfect binder for crab cakes and a great base for creamy salad dressings, vegetable dips, and more.

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.

Meyer Lemon Chia Pudding

January 8, 2014January 7, 2014by Brent Schrader37 Comments

I’m excited to share with you today this recipe for Meyer lemon chia pudding. About a year ago, I was walking through a Costco and ran into a gigantic bag of chia seeds and wondered how to use them. This particular item had come up a few times in podcasts and reading as a seed high in fat, fiber, and protein, but I didn’t know much about it.

21DSD in 2014: Week 1

January 5, 2014by Brent Schrader2 Comments

I hope everyone is enjoying a bountiful start to their 2014. We are doing the same, and are refocusing our efforts on healthful eating to kick the new year off with some positive momentum. If your holiday season was anything like ours, it was filled with positive and negative stressors, and maybe some (or a lot of) generosity with our 80/20 balance. In the past, we’ve done a number of different diet “resets” with challenges of various lengths. We appreciate their variety, as each has its own unique benefits. This time around, we’re going with the 21 Day Sugar Detox by Diane Sanfilippo, as one of our biggest vices over the holiday season has been indulging in sugar and carbohydrate rich foods/drinks. If you’re interested and want to learn more, definitely check out the details over at Diane’s website Balanced Bites. She also has a podcast, so there are many ways to interact with her and her knowledge.
