Valentine’s Day Almond Flour Brownies

I’m so excited to be a part of the 2021 Good Cookie Food Blogger’s Valentine’s event this year! The event brings a bunch of food bloggers together to post a Valentine’s Day themed recipe as a way to bring awareness and hopefully raise some money for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, so I decided to make these Valentine’s Day Almond Flour Brownies.

Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer. This is an organization that I try to bring awareness to whenever I can. This is actually my 12th post highlighting them!

Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. The National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%. It’s such a small number and that’s why I got involved. And with the ongoing pandemic, children are still being diagnosed with cancer. It’s imperative that we raise awareness and continue to raise funds to fund the ongoing pediatric cancer research!

Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because  OXOMediavine  and Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4!

Thank you to so many of you who have already donated, please help us reach our goal so we can get the full matching donations and help us make an even huge difference! So if you’re in a position to do so please consider donating today.

Now for the recipe. This recipe was inspired by my husband, who I’m pretty sure has never met a dessert he didn’t like. He is particularly fond of anything chocolatey and covered in sprinkles. So I decided to bake him chocolate almond flour brownies topped with heart sprinkles.

Ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • sprinkles, if desired

Coconut Curry Lentil Chickpea Bowls with Kale

I really love receiving cookbooks for review, especially when they are filled with recipes that are both intriguing and simple to make. Since I received a copy of The “I Love My Instant Pot” Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recipe Book for review, I have become obsessed with this recipe for Coconut Curry Lentil Chickpea Bowls with Kale.

It’s insanely easy to make, is filling, and is absolutely delicious!

I’ll admit, it isn’t the prettiest meal I’ve ever made, but the combination of ingredients makes for a crave worthy dish you’re sure to put in your rotation!

Smoky Baba Ganoush

Smoky Baba Ganoush is one of those appetizers that basically any time I see it on a menu, I feel the need to order it. The eggplant-based appetizer, originating from Lebanon, uses grilled eggplant, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a smoky dip that is perfect for outdoor eating.

It’s also a great way to use up a bunch of eggplant if you happen to have a few on hand. There are a bunch of recipes out there for oven roasting the eggplant, but there really is no substitute for the flavor added to the dish by grilling.

Ingredients (serves 4 as an appetizer):

  • 2 pounds Italian eggplants (~2-4 eggplants, depending on size)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • the juice and zest from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
  • chopped parsley, for garnish
  • crackers, pita, bell peppers, carrot sticks, etc., for serving

Slow Cooker Granola

I am a big fan of my slow cooker (I have 50+ slow cooker recipes on my blog); especially recipes I can set them and walk away (or leave my house) for 4 to 8 hours. But like a lot of people, I’ve been home quite a bit more, given the pandemic, so I decided to try to make a recipe that requires you to stay a bit closer to your slow cooker – Slow Cooker Granola.

My mother-in-law mentioned making granola in her slow cooker, and how great the results were, so I wanted to try to make my own version!

This recipe is very adaptable, you can substitute in any nut, oil, liquid sweetener, and dried fruit you prefer. This recipe also makes a good amount of granola, but if your house is anything like mine, it will be gone before you know it!

Ingredients:

  • Cooking spray
  • 5 cups old fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free oats to ensure this is gluten-free)
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds (or any nut you prefer; omit to make nut-free)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of
    • ground cinnamon
    • ground nutmeg
    • salt
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup agave (or maple syrup or honey if you prefer)
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract (or vanilla extract to make nut-free)
  • 1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit you prefer)

Smoked Potato Salad with Bacon and Sriracha Mayo

Note: I was sent a sample of Bear Mountain Gourmet Blend BBQ Wood Pellets in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.

I absolutely love grilling, and love to grill anything I can get my hands on. I do not have much experience with smoking foods on my grill though. So when Bear Mountain contacted me about trying some of their wood pellets, I couldn’t wait to get started!

source: bearmountainbbq.com

Smoking adds an additional layer of flavor to your grilled foods that can completely change the taste of a dish. If you’re new to smoking your food, wood pellets are a great “intro” option – you don’t have to soak them ahead of time and they can be used on any normal grill. Bear Mountain offers a bunch of different blends to pair with poultry, seafood, lamb, pork, beef and vegetables. Their wood pellets don’t use any fillers, binders, or bark so their premium all-natural wood pellets deliver a perfect, clean smoke – every time.  They’ve also refined the pellet-making process, creating the perfect pellet structure with only 5% moisture.  This means that Bear Mountain pellets grant the perfect burn, infusing mouth-watering flavor with little ash to clean up.

source: bearmountainbbq.com

I was looking through Bear Mountain’s recipes for a little inspiration and was intrigued when I cam across a recipe for  potato salad that smoked the potatoes on the grill before tossing them in a yummy sriracha mayo.

I decided to add some bacon to further highlight the rich, smoky flavor of the pellets. The result is this amazing Smoked Potato Salad with Bacon and Sriracha Mayo!

Ingredients:

  • 2 pound red potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1-2 cups Bear Mountain Gourmet Blend BBQ Pellets
  • 4 slices of cooked bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha, depending on your preferences
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions

Pan Fried Salmon with Brown Lentils, Cherry Tomatoes, and Basil

Note: I was sent a PDF copy of Beach House Dinners: Simple, Summer-Inspired Meals for Entertaining Year-Round by chef Lei Shishak in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.

I think we could all use a bit of escape right about now. So what better way to get in a beach-state-of-mind than through easy home cooking? I recently had the opportunity to page through Lei Shishak’s new cookbook: Beach House Dinners: Simple, Summer-Inspired Meals for Entertaining Year-Round, which is filled with over 80 recipes perfect for summer cooking.

Lei Shishak is the founder of Sugar Blossom Bake Shop in San Clemente, CA and the author of Beach House Baking, heralded by USA Today as one of the top 10 cookbooks of summer 2014, Beach House Brunch and Farm-to-Table Desserts. She is an established pastry chef who trained at the CIA in New York and has worked in restaurants in Sun Valley, Los Angeles and Orange County.

I’m not going to lie, quite a few recipes caught my eye — Coconut Shrimp, Creamy Thai Curry Quinoa, Pot Roast Tagine, Israeli Pearl Couscous — this cookbook is filled with awesome sounding recipes! I decided to highlight a beautifully simple but oh so flavorful salmon recipe to show off this cookbook.
I adjusted Lei’s original recipe of Pan Fried Salmon with Green Lentils for what I had on hand, so be sure to pop over to her blog or to pick up this cookbook to try the original version. Green Lentils have a slight peppery flavor to them, so I bet they would make this dish even more amazing!
Ingredients: (serves 4)
Lentils:
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup brown lentils
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted (or margarine, to make dairy free)

Salmon:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 (1/4 lb) salmon fillets
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 (10 oz) container cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

Slow Cooker Lamb in Zesty Lemon Sauce

 Note: I was sent a copy of The Greek Slow Cooker for review. Opinions are mine alone.

It’s been quite a while since I posted. Since sheltering-in-place became our new normal in Philadelphia, I’ve been cooking a lot of my old recipes, but haven’t had the creativity (or honestly, the energy) to make many new recipes. In the hopes of having some inspiration, I started paging through some of the many cookbooks I have, and came across this recipe for Arnaki Lemonato – Slow Cooker Lamb in a Zesty Lemon Sauce.

This recipe is from The Greek Slow Cooker: Easy, Delicious Recipes from the Heart of the Mediterranean.

Written by Eleni Vonissakou, the cookbook is a great source of Greek dishes adapted for slow cookers and includes 75 different Greek recipes. I adapted the recipe below a bit for what I was able to get through my local grocery delivery options.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes (cut the larger ones up so that the sizes of all the potatoes are similar)
  • 2 large carrots, sliced (about 1 cup)
  • the juice and zest of 2 lemons, divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed in a garlic press, or very finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sumac (can omit if you cannot find this spice)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 lbs lamb shoulder (I used lamb shoulder chops)
  • 2 medium onions, quartered

Chia Oatmeal Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies

NOTE: I was sent a container of BetterBody Foods Organic Chia Seeds in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone. 

Breakfast cookies. Those should totally be a thing, right? I was recently sent Organic Chia Seeds from BetterBody Foods, and I wanted to try to use them in a way I haven’t already, so Breakfast Pudding, Chocolate Pudding, Jam, and Muffins were out. But for whatever reason, I tend to think of Chia Seeds as a breakfast food, so I started thinking about some of my other favorite breakfast ingredients, and these Chia Oatmeal Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies were born!

Chia Seeds also can be used as an egg substitute when baking, so I decided to make these cookies both vegan and gluten free.

These little guys have a ton of flavor and are surprisingly filling! Chia seeds have a ton of fiber; when eaten with peanut butter and oats, it’s a great way to help feel fuller longer.

Ingredients (makes about 3 dozen cookies):

  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds, divided (I used BetterBody Foods Organic Chia Seeds)
  •  1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (check the label to make sure they are gluten free)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (check the label to make sure they are vegan)

Bacon Egg Bites

Note: I was sent a copy of The Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook in order to write this review. Opinions are mine alone.

January is the time of year where many set goals for themselves for the next 12 months, with a lot of those goals centered around diet and exercise. I am not a registered dietician, and am not here to tell you what’s best for you to eat, but I do hope to offer a range of recipes for you to peruse.

Adding to my repertoire, this recipe is adapted from a Keto-inspired cookbook called The Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook. The cookbook is written by Stephanie Laska, who lost more than half her body weight be adjusting the traditional keto diet into something she could stick with without using expensive, hard-to-find ingredients and without adhering to so many strict rules.

The general gist of the keto diet is based on a low-carb, high fat, adequate-protein diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates for weight loss. These Bacon Egg Bites have very few carbs per serving, but will keep you full through a busy morning. The addition of multiple types of dairy make for fluffy, creamy eggs that can be transported to work or eaten quickly before heading out the door, a perfect breakfast for busy mornings!

What I really like about this recipe is it’s completely adaptable to what you might have on hand. I used this as a bit of a fridge cleaner, so feel free to substitute ingredients as you see fit!

Note: this recipe is adapted from The Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook’s recipe for Starbucks Egg Bites

Ingredients:

  • 4 strips no-sugar added bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice (I used manchego)
  • 1 (8 oz bar) full-fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup baby arugula (or whatever greens you have on hand – kale or spinach would also work)

Sous Vide Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin

I honestly don’t make pork tenderloin much. Unless I’ve slow cooked it, or wrapped it in bacon, I feel like it comes out pretty dry. Which makes it the perfect meat to make using a precision cooker! So since I’ve gotten a precision cooker, this recipe for Sous Vide Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin has become a staple in my house.

Cooking the pork tenderloin sous vide keeps the meat juicy and tender. Plus, it infuses the meat with whatever herbs you add!

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  •  1- 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
  • optional:
    • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
    • 1 sprig fresh basil
    • 1 sprig fresh thyme
    • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped

Quinoa Con Pollo

Note: I was sent a Flying Fish Can Variety Pack in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.

There are some recipes that almost instantly become a go-to comfort food. One of those recipes for me is arroz con pollo. It has a ton of flavor, an assortment of different vegetables, and is wonderfully filling. Plus, it can be made ahead of time and reheated. What more could you ask for?

My husband has recently taken a liking to quinoa, so I thought making a quinoa version of arroz con pollo, or Quinoa con Pollo, would be an awesome spin. Flying Fish’s Can Variety Pack features five different beers including their OnShore Lager. One sip, and I knew it would be the perfect ingredient in (and accompaniment to) my quinoa spin!

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen a couple of posts / stories about the variety pack. The outdoor themed variety pack truly has something for everyone, including two IPAs (Hopfish and Outside IPA), a Pale Ale (XPA), a Session Sour (Salt and Sea), and a Lager (Onshore Lager). The Hopfish is awesome with spicy food, and the outside IPA has been my go-to when I’m relaxing in my hammock, or hanging out with friends on my roof deck. The XPA is Flying Fish’s original beer, and continues to be a staple for a reason; it goes great with everything! The Salt and Sea was the perfect complement to our friend’s crab feast and barbecue. And the Onshore Lager has a crisp, clean finish making it perfect for both cooking with and drinking.

So let me show off that lager!

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil to make dairy free)
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
  •  1 medium onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  •  2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (12 oz) can lager (I used Flying Fish Onshore Lager)
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (omit to make gluten free)
  • 2 cups dried quinoa
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 10 oz frozen cut green beans
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • Black olives, to taste

Slow Cooker Paleo Frittata Jars

Note: I was sent a copy of Slow Cooked Paleo by Bailey Fischer. Opinions are mine alone.

On weekends, I do my best to prepare some meals for the week. Typically, that means dinners, but every now and then I’ll bake muffins to have for breakfast. My husband is much more of a “savory” than a “sweet” breakfast eater, so he was thrilled when I was saw this recipe for Slow Cooker Paleo Frittata Jars in Bailey Fischer’s Slow Cooker Paleo Cookbook.

This cookbook is filled with awesome and easy slow cooker meals that are also Paleo, taking out much of the effort of maintaining a paleo diet. Some other delicious recipes include Coconut-Lime Poached Halibut, Simmering Hawaiian Fajitas, and Pumpkin-Maple Pudding.

The concept of these jars is brilliant and can easily be adapted to include whatever you want (perfect opportunity for a “fridge cleaning” breakfast).

Ingredients:

  • 2 2/3 cups thawed hash browns (~2/3 cup per jar)
  • 1 1/3 cups diced butternut squash (~1/3 cup per jar)
  • 1 1/3 cups diced green bell peppers (~1/3 cup per jar)
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 handful baby spinach leaves

Marinated Swordfish

NOTE: I was sent Carthage Co.‘s Dadasi Dinner Plate in order to write this post with a recipe for Marinated Swordfish. Opinions are mine alone.

Unsurprisingly, I have quite the affinity for dishware. I especially love plates, bowls, and platters that are matte (they present and photograph beautifully!) No matter how pretty dishware is, I still need it to work for my lifestyle, so I look for options that are microwave and dishwasher safe as well.

I was recently introduced to Carthage Co., which offers exquisite, ethically-sourced pottery made by Tunisian artisans, including plates, glasses, pitchers and serving-ware. The best part? This artisan stoneware is both attractive and affordable, plus its dishwasher and microwave safe! Named after the ancient city of Carthage that once served as a connecting point of Mediterranean trade, the Carthage Co. mission is to provide a valuable point of connection that starts in Tunisia and ends at your dinner table. The company works to honor and empower Tunisian artisans and create jobs in the U.S., partnering with local manufacturers that employ and empower their communities with dignity and equity.

source: Cathage Co.

I immediately gravitated toward their Dadasi collection, which is even more beautiful in person. I personally love the basalt color, it really make the food served on it pop!

I wanted to show off my snazzy new plate with a recipe that’s really become a staple in my household: Marinated Swordfish, served over rice with sautéed baby bok choy. I’m not going to pretend it’s the prettiest recipe, but it sure looks nice on the Dadasi plate, doesn’t it? It’s amazing what a difference a good looking plate can make to the presentation of a meal!

This recipe requires very little hands-on time, but you do need to allot some time for the swordfish to marinate.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos/tamari to make gluten free)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  •  1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 swordfish steaks
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 4 baby bok choy
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Pressure Cooker Mushroom Bourguignon

Note: I was sent a copy of The Big Book of Instant Pot Recipes: 240 Must-Try Dishes for Your Multi-Function Cooker for review. Opinions are mine alone.

I’ve mentioned many times before how much I love my multi-cooker. I tend to use it a lot on weekends to help prep meals for the week, but it’s also a life saver on weeknights — you can get a delicious meal that tastes like it’s been cooking all day on the table in 45 minutes or less!

So when I heard about a new cookbook that is going to be published soon (September 24, 2019 to be exact) that has a ton of awesome multi-cooker recipes, I was excited to check it out.

The Big Book of Instant Pot Recipes: 240 Must-Try Dishes for Your Multi-Function Cooker (paid link) by Kristy Bernardo, Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri, Amy Rains, and Stefanie Bundalo contains 240 recipes for every occasion that the authors have adapted for the Instant Pot, and the vast majority of these recipes take less than 45 minutes, making home-cooking and family meal time simple, fast, and delicious for readers of all levels of cooking experience.

Divided into eight thorough chapters, Breakfast, Lunch, Soups and Stews, Pastas, Mains, Sides, Desserts, and Condiments and Sauces, The Big Book of Instant Pot® Recipes offers readers a plethora of healthy dishes that will take less than 45 minutes to prepare and are great for every occasion. Moreover, nearly all the dishes are either vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or paleo-friendly, accommodating all dietary needs.

I think most people know how great pressure cookers can be for tough cuts of meat, so I wanted to try one of the meatless options in the cookbook. This Pressure Cooker Mushroom Bourguignon is a simplified (and meatless) version of a French classic — typically a beef stew braised in red wine / beef broth.

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or margarine to make dairy free)
  • 1 (8 oz) container sliced mushrooms
  • 1 (8 oz) container whole mushrooms, cut in half
  • 1 (4 oz) container gourmet mushroom blend
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 celery rib, chopped (or kept in larger pieces if you intend to remove)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup beef or vegetable stock, divided
  • 1 oz dried mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • cooked egg noodles (optional, substitute mashed potatoes for gluten free)
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
