January '24- Veggie Fried Rice

Here is my take on classic veggie fried rice. I included spam and fried egg into ours, but you can of course, keep this vegetarian by committing those ingredients. This is an incredible way to get extra veggies into your meal while still enjoying comfort food. Feel free to change out the types of veggies too and get creative. This recipe is really just one of those jumping-off points.

January '24 Crispy Cauliflower Bites

Adding a crispy texture to the plate often means a fried or starchy component. Well here is a great alternative that is neither of those things. Its crispy baked cauliflower bites and you can make endless variations of it by simply changing the flavor profile in the sauce you coat them in before breeding. This week I made the dish with a pre-made ginger-lime peanut sauce to keep the prep work to a minimum and flavor to the max.

November '23 - Zucchini "Pizza" Bake

4 ingredients, 1 dish, your oven, and dinner is served!

Imagine all of your favorite pizza toppings, hot gooey cheese, and your favorite zesty red pizza sauce, but now instead of on that bloat-inducing (delicious) crust you add a mountain of perfectly roasted zucchini and voila. I’m telling you even the littles in your house will gobble this up.

September '23- Celery Root Puree with Roasted Beets & Caramelized Onions

If you are looking for a more nutrient-dense alternative to whipped potatoes, Ive got you! Cup for cup celery root has about half the calories, half the carbs, 3x the calcium, and equal fiber to russet potatoes. You can enjoy the celery root puree in this recipe on its own of course, but I was serving it as a full vegetarian meal so the addition of the roasted beets and caramelized onions rounded it out nicely.

August '23 - Sweet & Spicy Orange Veggie Bowls

We all need a little fresh inspiration in the kitchen once in a while. Recently, I wanted to add some new dishes to my repertoire so I signed up for one of those meal delivery services. One where they send you the ingredients which are premeasured for your desired number of servings, and you just follow the instructions to cook them. One recent meal I tried from them was a big hit with the family that they requested it again, and with my Grow Eco produce on hand I had 80 percent of the ingredients already on hand. So here is that 30min meal for you to try yourself.

August '23 - Cucumber, tomato, and pepper salad

I was trying to make a quick lunch the other day when a friend popped over and looking at all my beautiful fresh delivered produce this is what I came up with. This recipe can be made by literally ANYONE. There is no cooking, no precise measurements required, and only takes as long as needed to wash & cut some fresh veggies. The salad is cool, crisp, nutritious, sweet, smokey, and full of umami. You can omit or add any other fresh veggies you might have as well. If you create variations of your own, we would love to hear from you so we can try those as well, please comment below.

August '23- Grilled Zucchini with Creamy Feta & Sun-dried Tomato Almond Crumble

This zucchini dish can be grilled or roasted, served as a side or as a complete meal, and tweaked in so many ways you could eat variations of it all season long without repeating. Today’s version is grilled zucchini with a base of creamy yogurt & feta then topped with a crumble made or sundried tomatoes and almonds. After you perfect this then try it with a different nut, a different cheese, or swap yogurt for sour cream, and so forth. This was so good I made it twice this week, hope you enjoy!
