This pork loin roast is tender and flavorful, but honestly, the sweet-tart gravy is the star of the show. Luckily, you’ll have quite a bit, so don’t skimp on it. Prep time 20 minutesServes 8 2 tart baking apples1 large onion1 3- to 4-pound (1.4 to 1.8 kg) pork...
Wrapping bacon around a loin roast gives it a great smoky flavor and pairs beautifully with the sweet orange, date, and ginger flavors in the sauce. As the dates cook, they soften considerably and almost “melt” into the sauce. Prep time 15 minutesServes 6 3-pound (1.4...
Here’s another spin on meatloaf using bulk Italian sausage to boost the flavor and minced vegetables to keep it moist. I added my Balsamic BBQ Sauce over the top to give it a tangy twist. Prep time 20 minutesServes 6 1 pound (455 g) ground beef1 pound (455 g) uncooked...
Bison has grown more popular in recent years, and is incredibly good for you. It is very lean and can dry out easily, so it’s good to pair it with something a little fatty and moist—like bacon. Cover it with some BBQ sauce, too, and you’ll have some pretty spectacular...
This is a Latin spin on spaghetti squash and meatballs, with cilantro-infused meatballs cooked in enchilada sauce. If you have trouble finding paleo-compliant enchilada sauce, make your own: Check out my Easy Enchilada Sauce. Prep time 25 minutesServes 6 For the...
Meatballs, sauce, and “noodles” all in one pot! You could even make a large batch of meatballs and freeze them on a cookie sheet, then divide them into portions in zip-top bags. Throwing a bag of frozen meatballs into a pot with some sauce and a spaghetti squash can...
This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but sometimes the simplest things yield the best results. Choose brats or similar sausages you really like, because they flavor the whole pot. Also, adding a few forkfuls of sauerkraut on each serving is a must! Prep time 10...
There’s a steak and potato salad recipe that is possibly my favorite potato salad. It is dressed in a cilantro chimichurri dressing and mixed with crispy grilled kale. I took these flavors and made a warm version, keeping that bright chimichurri flavor in the cilantro...
One of my favorite Chinese dishes is Mongolian Beef. I love the addition of broccoli, which gives this a freshness that cuts through the sweet sauce. The slices of beef are thin in this dish, so it cooks up quickly. You could throw this in your cooker after lunch and...
As I described earlier, I spent a year and a half in Austria as a representative for my church. We frequently ate in church members’ homes, and that was always a treat. One elderly woman invited us over often. She used to be “Austria’s queen yodeler” back in the 1940s...
Good news: You don’t need flour, butter, or a container of sour cream to make a delicious beef stroganoff. The gravy that coats the tender beef and mushrooms gets its umami flavor and velvety texture from a handful of clean ingredients, including coconut cream—an...
I love using cocoa and chili together—especially on beef, which can handle bold flavors. If you find certain cuts of beef (like tri-tip) too expensive, consider buying your beef from a grass-fed ranch as part of a beef share. It’s more expensive all at once, but by...
