One of the places we MUST stop at whenever we go to Austin, TX is Picnik. They have a knack for making some amazingly creative and tasty blended coffee options (not to mention the most deadly delicious blondies ever conceived). They start with the idea of bulletproof-style coffee but in a blended variation. So really…
Massaged Kale Salad
Let’s talk kale. Kale has become as ubiquitous a health buzz word over the past several years – it’s like the “fat free” of the 90s. It’s everywhere. We’ve moved beyond kale as a weird garnish on your dinner plate through the world of kale smoothies and kale chips and into a new kale culture,…
Loaded Baked Sweet Potato Soup
We’re big fans of the soup purées as you can see from the Roasted Winter Squash Soup and Pumpkin Bacon Soup of year’s past. The Winter Squash Soup is a family staple at Sean’s family holidays and as Suz has said with the Pumpkin Bacon Soup: ‘It’s like Fall in my MOUTH!” These types of…
Sous Vide Beef Filet Tail and Sweet Potato Mash
Now this recipe was actually made for the first time a couple of weeks before I even moved up to Vancouver. Since then, I’ve made it multiple times with subtle variations just to see what works best. The key though is a nice filet tail from our friends at Tx Bar Organics and the flavor…
Bone Broth Bouillon Cubes
So this recipe is actually something I’ve been making on a weekly basis for about 4 months now. It’s THE perfect way to take bone broth with you on the go without worrying about it spilling in transit. Since I’ve been living in Vancouver for just over a year now, I tend to walk or ride…
Fig Salad with Duck Prosciutto, Goat Cheese and Balsamic Drizzle
Wow. I can’t believe it’s been just over a year since I came up to work visual effects in Vancouver, BC. The time really flew by. This recipe is something that I made when I first came up here after finding one of my favorite shops Home on the Range Organics. If you’ve been following…
Cajun Shrimp Salad
Last month, Suz and I completed our first Whole 30 Challenge in a couple of years. She was in Alabama and I was here in Vancouver, BC. It went so well, that we’re actually starting another one for the month of March. This recipe is perfect for anytime but especially for Whole 30 or 21DSD…
Lamb Korma
When Suz and I lived in LA, there was an Indian place in our neighborhood that we would eat at a couple times a month. It was easily one of our favorite places and I always looked forward to our dinners there. I’ve been on a huge lamb kick lately and since I’ve been up in…
Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts and Pecans with Balsamic Drizzle
I. Love. Brussels Sprouts. And did you know it’s properly spelled Brussels? Not brussel or brussels. I always was unsure if I was spelling it correctly, and a dip into the Google pool turns up info that they were predominately grown in Brussels, Belgium. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle)! Anyway, I…
Crab Cake Deviled Eggs
January is halfway over and Suz and I are on day 12 of our Whole30. We’ve completed one or two in the past but I must say, this time, it’s been much easier. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the new year and maybe it’s that we’ve completed the challenge before. But I honestly think…
