On a pasta kick lately, and not mad about it. GNOCCHI ALFREDO + GARLICKY SPINACH ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿง„๐Ÿ This dish is both gluten-free and dairy-free; but you would never guess that. Used my trusty, homemade Cashew Alfredo, some sauteฬed garlicky spinach (but you can sub your fave greens like arugula or kale) mixed in with a store-bought potato and rice flour gnocchi. Grab the recipe deets below and give this amazing little sauce a try๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Cashew Alfredo Sauce (DF)
1 + 2/3 cups raw cashews soaked (for ~4 hours or overnight)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp of coarse black pepper
3 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
3 Tbsp of nutritional yeast
1 + 1/4 cup water or bone broth (the latter takes it over the top! ๐Ÿ’ฅ)

Instructions ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
Cook the pasta of your choice and follow instructions on the package. I used potato and rice flour gnocchi; but any gnocchi will do. In your food processor, throw in all the sauce ingredients and process until itโ€™s smooth and creamy. If you feel itโ€™s too thick, add a pinch more water or broth and then blend again to adjust.

In a skillet or medium to large sauce pan, warm up 1-2 Tbsp of good olive oil. Add 4 cloves of finely minced garlic and when fragrant (1-2 mins) throw in about ~4 cups of tightly packed spinach and stir until it starts to soften. Add some cooked pasta and cashew sauce to the pan and give it a good toss. Top with coarse pepper, red pepper flakes, or fresh grated parm.

Hope youโ€™re having a week evening, friends!๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿปโœจ

A good rice bowl delivers. Quick dinners ahead call for these blackened and slightly spicy SHRIMP BENTO BOWLS!๐Ÿค๐Ÿš๐Ÿฅ’

Love to eat a little bit of everything at once; and this combo of steamed rice, edamame, cucumbers, carrots and sauteฬed BBQ shrimp is a quick dinner win! Save the shrimp recipe deets below and give this one a try!๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Sauteฬed BBQ Shrimp Recipe
1 bag of raw, frozen shrimp peeled & deveined
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional) ๐Ÿ”ฅ
1 Tbsp finely chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
~3 Tbsp of your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
Thaw your shrimp ~4 hours before cooking it. Once itโ€™s (mostly) defrosted; run it under hot water and pat dry with a towel. In a large skillet or non-stick pan at medium/high heat, warm up your olive oil and when hot, add your shrimp. Cook for about ~2 mins then add the paprika, garlic and parsley. Cook for another 5 mins, when the shrimp turns nice and pink; you know itโ€™s fully cooked. Right before youโ€™re about to take it out; add your barbecue sauce and stir for 1-2 mins. Add spritz of fresh lemon juice and transfer to a bowl, enjoy warm with your favorite grilled or roasted veggies and a side of rice, farro or quinoa. ๐Ÿ’š #๐Ÿš

Love a good, protein-packed Spicy Pokรฉ Bowl!๐Ÿš๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฅฆ

Iโ€™ll eat my Pokรฉ with rice- always. On the side: steamed or roasted broccoli and avocado (for healthy fats) or mango and edamame are my favorite sidekick combos. Thereโ€™s so many great, pre-made gut-friendly sauces on the market to go with this, but if youโ€™d like to make your own marinade for the spicy salmon, hereโ€™s my go-to! Recipe deets below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป ๐Ÿš ๐Ÿ’š

Ingredients ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
~ 1 pound sushi-grade salmon, sockeye or Alaskan salmon (you can either cube it or slice it, I like chunky slices)
1+ 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
1 + 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sriracha or chili crunch (I do 1 teaspoon each!๐Ÿ”ฅ)

Mix well to coat salmon or tuna, serve and enjoy! If I have any chives or sesame seeds- they make the best garnish!

Have a great Tuesday!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Continuing with my orzo series.. This versatile grain is an opportunity to introduce NEW and hearty recipes that still spell comfort! You have to try this ZUCCHINI & MUSHROOM ORZO SALAD! ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ…๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ„ Delicious, super satisfying and youโ€™ll want to dive in for seconds! Grab the easy recipe deets below๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿฅ—

Orzo Salad Recipe ๐Ÿฅ— serves 3-4
Suggested Greek-Style Vinaigrette
3/4 cup of good quality olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tsp of dried oregano
1/2 Tsp garlic salt
1/2 Tsp minced organic garlic
1 Tbsp of dried parsley
1/2 Tsp ground pepper
2 Tsp of honey or agave ๐Ÿฏ

Garlicky Mushroom Topping Ingredients
a handful each of crimini, sliced white, and/or shiitake mushrooms ~2 cups combined
1 Tbsp of good quality olive oil
sea salt and black pepper, to taste ๐Ÿง‚
2 Tsp of minced garlic ๐Ÿง„
1 Tbsp finely chopped parsley (optional)
~2 Tbsp of tamari sauce or coconut aminos!
1-2 Tbsp of red wine, I love a good Merlot!

Instructions ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
The Orzo salad has 5 cups of cold, but cooked orzo (I cooked mine in bone broth, recipe on a separate post, Iโ€™ll share it on stories!๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™ƒ), 1.5 cups of finely chopped bell peppers in every color, 1.5 cups of halved raw zucchini rounds sliced in quarters, 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley and 2/3 cup of creamy feta chunks or crumbles, I always buy goat feta! ๐ŸŒฑ if you wanted to switch it up- grilled halloumi would take this salad over the top! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Mushroom Topping Instructions
In a skillet on medium-high heat, warm up your olive oil. Add the garlic and stir often as it burns quickly. Throw the mushrooms in, stir and season with sea salt, tamari and pepper. Allow them to sauteฬe and soften ~4-5 mins. Finally, add your wine and scrape the bits and pieces off the pan, stir for an additional ~2 mins).

I like to toss the sauteฬed mushrooms into the orzo salad; as opposed to just adding them on top. Iโ€™ve recently started enjoying raw zucchini rounds and they give the salad the best crunch! Sort of like a radish; but a lot less pungent. You will love!๐Ÿ’š

Hope youโ€™re having a good evening, friends!๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿปโœจ

Honey Paprika Shrimp Tacos ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฅ‘ paired with fresh guacamole and a creamy coleslaw with sumac, green onions and dill! I served these on grilled yellow corn tortillas with a side of hearty rice and pinto beans and a no-bake cheesecake with a sweet and tart strawberry coulis! It was the perfect Friday night at-home dinner. Grab the recipe deets below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Shrimp & Base Marinade Ingredients
1 bag of fresh or frozen (thawed) shrimp ~ 1 pound
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 Tbsp of honey (runny, low viscosity)
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry coriander
sea salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Lime Vinaigrette *use 1/2 to baste the shrimp as theyโ€™re grilling, and 1/2 to coat them post grill and right before serving!
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
2.5 Tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Method
Clean the shrimp: devein them (make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp) as to pull out the black vein. Also, donโ€™t forget to peel them or simply tug gently on the tail to remove the outer shell.

In a medium bowl: coat shrimp in olive oil, smoked paprika, honey, garlic powder, dry coriander, lime juice, sea salt and pepper and toss. Allow it to sit and soak marinade for 10 mins. (Get the grill ready and warm, in the interim).

Place the shrimp on the hot grill (or pan) and grill (or sautรฉ) on each side for ~3 mins. Baste generously with honey lime vinaigrette when flipping. Remove from the heat and drizzle desired amount of remaining vinaigrette right before serving. Any leftover vinaigrette amounts may be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and is great for coating grilled zucchini or bell peppers.

enjoy every taco bite!
