I may have missed out on the Super Bowl parties but I'm game for some good wings anytime. Here is a recipe that I can't wait to try! It takes my favorite potato chip flavor and brings it to wings.
Salt & Vinegar Wings Yogurt, or buttermilk, can make a great base for marinading meat, especially poultry. The enzymes in the milk help to produce a tender and moist finished product. The sugars in the milk also help with browning so that it looks as delicious as it tastes. If you have never tried using buttermilk or yogurt to make a marinade, here is a great little recipe to get you started.
Garlic Yogurt Meat Marinade If you know me, you probably know how much I love eggs, no matter how they are cooked. But I confess, I do like the versatility of scrambled eggs, they are the perfect base for many flavors. I just found this recipe and I can't wait to give it a try. I think I will top it with just a sprinkle of cheese and maybe a dollop of sour cream.
Simple Sweet Scramble I know that I am behind the times on this one. Many of you may already be doing this. It is one of the healthy things that I have not yet gotten into, bone broth. Maybe I am just too lazy to go to the process, or maybe its because I am not a big fan of soups. But if you are interested in learning about the benefits of bone broth and want to give it a try, here is a great piece from the Weston A. Price foundation that has all the information and recipes you need.

sarahfragoso.com/garden-fresh-meatballs/Garden Fresh Meatballs Meatballs seem to be an easy dinner for feeding a crowd, but having them with the usual tomato or creamy mushroom sauce might get a little boring. From the cool tribe at Paleo Leap come an Asian inspired version to serve up with some zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice (which can now be found at the local grocery stores in the freezer section!).
ASIAN FIVE-SPICE MEATBALLS This is one of my favorite side dishes to make. It has incredible flavor and is easy to make on the stove stop any time of year. I have even tried it with cauliflower but broccoli is my favorite. You can easily change the spices used to fit your tastes. 2-3 crowns of broccoli floret bunches with the floret stalks cut in half 1/4-1/3 cup water 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil 2 tbsp water 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes Combine 1-2 tbsp water, oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and set aside. On the stove top, heat a 1tbsp oil in a skillet on med high heat and add broccoli and 1/4-1/3 c water. Make sure that cut sides of broccoli are in contact with the skillet. Cover skillet and cook until broccoli is just becoming bright green and tender, 5-7 min. Add the oil and spice mixture to broccoli and toss to coat. Leaving cover off, cook until broccoli begins to brown, turning broccoli throughout so that all all cut sides develop a little browning. Monitor the cooking so that the broccoli retains some brightness and remove before it becomes dull in color. I would recommend making more broccoli than you think you need. It does shrink a bit while cooking and also it disappears fast! |
