Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter dairy-free to grease the bottom and sides of a 9"x13" casserole or butter two smaller casseroles

6 cups russet potatoes peeled and sliced (about 4-5 large potatoes)

4 tbs butter dairy-free

2 tbs corn starch 

3 cups almond milk unsweetened (you can use any dairy-free milk of your choice

2+ tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried parsley

A good dash of cayenne

Directions:

Preheat Oven 350*F

Peel and slice potatoes to measure 6 to 7 cups.

Place in a large bowl of water as you go along slicing. This will keep the potatoes from turning brown.

Melt the dairy free butter in a large saucepan.

Pour in the dairy free milk.

Bring to a low boil stirring often. Add in your corn starch slurry

After the sauce comes to a boil turn down the heat to medium and cook until it is smooth and thickens a bit. About 10 to 15 minutes.  Add herbs and spices. Stir

Layer the potatoes in a large 9" x 13" casserole dish, overlapping in a staggered type of style. 

Pour the sauce all over the top.

Bake covered for 30 minutes.

Uncover and bake another 60 minutes.

It was good! Next time, I’d like to add in some Better Than Sour Cream for the tang. I’d also like a couple more herbs and spices... and maybe some gluten free breadcrumbs.

Cunnings Slow Cooker Spiced Apple Cider

This is a great little recipe for Mabon and super easy to make. I used a 4 quart slow cooker which will yield ¾ gallon cider.

Ingredients:

- 2 Fiji Apples - 2 Pink Lady Apples - 3 Red Delicious Apples - 2 Gala Apples - 1 Orange -3 Cinnamon Sticks - 6 Whole Cloves - 4 Whole Cardamon Pods - 7 Tablespoons Brown Sugar - 4 Quarts Water

Cut your apples into quarter pieces and place in slow cooker pot. You can place them in batches in a bath of water and lemon juice to keep them from browning until you have all your apples diced. Don’t worry about seeds or core since you will be discarding the apple pieces later.

Slice your orange and put one slice in the pot with the apples.

Add your cinnamon sticks, Cloves, Cardamon Pods, and brown sugar.

Pour in your water and cover pot with lid

Cook on low for 6 hours.

When done, discard Apple pieces, orange slice, and spices. Pour cider through a mesh strainer into container (I used half gallon Mason Jars) and let cool before storing in the fridge.

Can be drunken cold or heated up!

Korean-Style Steak and Lettuce Wraps

199 calories/serving

Ingredients:

1 pound flank steak

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 cup diced peeled cucumber

6 cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup thinly sliced shallot

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons lime juice

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 head Bibb iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin slices.

Combine the sliced steak, cucumber, tomatoes, shallot, mint, basil and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix sugar, soy sauce, lime juice and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the steak mixture; toss well to coat. To serve, spoon a portion of the steak mixture into a lettuce leaf and roll into a “wrap.”

It recommends plain yogurt and kim-chee as condiments. I couldn’t find kim-chee at my local place, but I grabbed some yogurt for The Boy. He liked it with the yogurt, but in general this is NOT his type of food. He was a trouper for trying it, and I’m proud. I, on the other hand, loved it! :D

NOTE: Look at how much better that steak turned out than last night’s. AMAZING! Except it i a bit too rare *sigh* But way better than the leather I was chewing on last night.

Picture order:

Everything put together.

Lemon, Garlic Salmon Fillet with Asparagus and Garden Salad

Lemon, Garlic Salmon

2 lbs salmon 2 Tbs garlic, minced 3 Tbs parsley 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice 1 large lemon Salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and cayenne to taste 1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed

Directions:

Preheat broiler to “high” or if you have a shitty oven like mine, it’ll just say broil. Remove skin from fish Cut your filet into 5-6 even-ish pieces. Place on your baking sheet. Put garlic and parsley evenly on top of each piece Cover evenly with lemon juice Season with your salt, peppers, and cayenne. Place your asparagus around your salmon. Season it with salt and pepper. Place lemon slices on your salmon Broil for 8-10 minutes until it is cooked.

Take out and serve. Enjoy!

The garden salad was just mesclun mix (spring mix), radishes, cucumbers, carrots, sunflower seeds, and a few slices of tangelos with a strawberry rhubarb vinaigrette.

Instant Pot Corned Beef with roasted cabbages and potatoes

Ingredients

Corned Beef

3 pound corned beef brisket with seasoning packet

enough water to cover your meat

8-10 whole cloves

salt to taste

1 tsp peppercorns

1 tsp ground mustard (mustard seed is better, but i didn’t have any)

1 tsp ground ginger

1 cinnamon stick

1 bay leaf

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

2 pounds brussel sprouts, halved

olive oil

salt

black and white pepper

thyme

oregano

basil

Roasted Potatoes and Onions

4 Red Potatoes, chopped into 1-1.5 inch pieces

1/2 an onion chopped into 1 inch pieces

olive oil

salt

black and white pepper

Instructions

Corned Beef

Place your beef in the Instant Pot (IP) with seasoning packet scattered on top

Add additional seasoning

Cover with enough water to just cover your meat

Turn your Instant Pot on. Cook on manual for 60 minutes. Natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes once 60 minutes is up.

Veggies

Preheat oven to 400F

Once you hear your IP is up to pressure (there will be noises and such), prep your veggies. Cut, lay in a single layer in their baking dishes (cook the sprouts and the potatoes w/ onion in separate dishes). 

Cover with olive oil and your seasoning. 

Toss to coat

Pop in the oven. 

Cook for about 20 minutes. Flip and stir your veggies.

Cook your sprouts for another 20 minutes or until preferred doneness. 

Continue to cooke potatoes until your beef is ready. Check them occasionally to make sure they aren’t burning. I have an AWFUL stove and oven so food takes longer to cook here.

Once everything is done, serve and enjoy!

Turkey Meatball Red Curry 1 lb ground turkey 1 lb ground turkey sausage 1 tsp curry powder 2 tsp ground basil ¼ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp garlic powder ¾ cup breadcrumbs (I used gf) 1 egg, beaten 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 crown broccoli, cut into florets 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tbsp chopped fresh ginger 5 tbsp Thai red curry paste 2 14 oz cans full fat coconut milk (I used full fat and lite) ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil 1 tsp salt + more to taste INSTRUCTIONS Begin by preheating your oven to 375. Mix together the ground turkey and sausage in a medium sized bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together curry powder, salt, pepper, basil, ginger, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs. Add to the meat and incorporate well. Finally, add the egg. Form the meatballs into 1 -1.5 inch diameter balls, and place on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. While meatballs are cooking, make the sauce. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat, add coconut oil. Add the chopped veggies: onion, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 5-7 minutes until onion is translucent. Add curry paste, than all of the coconut milk. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes until the curry paste is completely mixed into the sauce. Add salt, and more to taste if needed. Add meatballs and broccoli to the sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes. Finish off with fresh basil. Serve hot over rice or rice noodles I liked this, but I didn't have any currry powder, and I forgot fresh basil. I also added a couple capfuls of fish sauce to the curry and a tsp of brown sugar to help meld the flavors. It was good, but there's room for improvement. They did have salt and pepper in the meatballs for they were bland on top of the fact that I didn't have the curry powder in there. ***I want to try this again once I actually have all the ingredients, lol. It was definitely worth the effort!

Cayenne, Rosemary Yam Fries 2 large yams, cut into shoe-string fries 2 teaspoons olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons dried rosemary 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (curry would be good, too, if you don’t have cayenne pepper!) 1 tablespoon corn starch Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray the top with cooking oil. With a large knife and using your whole weight, cut your yams in half. Be careful not to cut your fingers off! Then cut into fry shape. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, seasoned salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Place the yams in a large Ziploc bag. Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle corn starch on top. Close bag and shake to coat thoroughly. The corn starch will help crisp up the fries while baking. Arrange yams in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until fork tender, turning over half way through. They will be soft in the middle and browned on the outside. Sprinkle with more seasoned salt, if desired.

Vegan Hot Chocolate 2.5C unsweetened almond milk 3-4 T sugar (really to taste. I had to use 4 because I have unsweetened milk) 3 T cocoa powder Pinch or so of cayenne 2 pinches of cardamom 1/2 tsp of vanilla, which I don't have apparently???? I almost cried. But it's probably worth using! Boil them all together and serve. The cardamom is a GREAT addition 😻
