All The Good Stuff Hash
*
This isn’t really a recipe; just cook a bunch of stuff together in a skillet. You can make as much or as little as you need.
*
1) FINELY dice onion, sweet potato, and broccoli, and cook in skillet with oil until softened
2) ADD diced pepper (any color) and ground meat (today I used beef) and cook until meat is browned
3) ADD chopped kale and stir for a couple minutes until cooked down
4) ADD cauliflower rice and plenty of salt, pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder, and cook until cauliflower is warmed through
5) TOP with lots of hot sauce or condiment of choice, and I also wish I had sliced almonds for crunch
—ADD more oil to the skillet at any point in the process if it’s needed
—USE whatever meat/veggies/seasonings strike your fancy!

Tandoori Chicken

It doesn’t look that appetizing, but if you like Indian food and have a stocked spice pantry, this is for you! I loved it.

Recipe from Whole Sisters
https://www.whole-sisters.com/tandoori-chicken/

WHAT I DID
-Yesterday I cooked a package of skin on bone in chicken thighs (so cheap!) in the slow cooker, just the chicken on low all day, then removed and shredded the meat
-Today I mixed all other ingredients in a bowl, going easy on the spices since I had 6 thighs instead of nine, and then heated the sauce and chicken in a skillet for about 10 minutes till starting to thicken
-For the cauliflower I cooked down some kale (#throwsomekaleinit) in a bit of oil in a skillet, added the frozen cauliflower rice, seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper, and cooked until heated through. ... See more

Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders with Mango Cilantro Sauce

You could skip the curry in this, but I highly recommend against it. It’s just a nice, subtle, delicious flavor. And the sauce? Ridiculous. It’s good enough to eat it with a spoon.

1) CUT any large chicken tenders into thinner pieces or the coconut will burn before the chicken cooks through
2) SEASON tenders with salt, pepper, and a touch of curry powder on both sides
3) PULSE 1-2 cups coconut flakes (depending on how many tenders you’re making) in a food processor with salt, pepper, and a bit of curry powder until combined...you can skip this step but I like the flakes chopped smaller like bread crumbs
4) WHISK 1-2 eggs in a shallow bowl with salt and pepper
5) PLACE seasoned coconut flakes in a second shallow bowl
6) DIP chicken tenders first in the egg wash then into coconut mixture, pressing the flakes on to be sure the entire tender is coated
7) COVER the bottom of a skillet with oil and heat over medium
8 COOK tenders until browned on both sides and cooked through
9) REMOVE tenders from skillet, place on paper towels, and season with salt while still hot

SAUCE
MIX in a food processor or blender:
-1/2 cup mayo
-half cup fresh or defrosted frozen mango
-handful of fresh cilantro
-1/2 teaspoon curry powder (more if you like heat)
-salt and pepper

-1 1/2 tsp onion powder
-1 1/2 tsp chili powder

-1/4 tsp ground cloves
-1/4 tsp ground red pepper/cayenne
2) PLACE 4ish lb boneless pork butt roast in slow cooker and coat entire surface with seasoning mixture
3) COOK on low for 8 hours
4) REMOVE roast from slow cooker, shred, remove fat, and return to mix with juices
5) EAT as is, or as I prefer, crisp up your serving in a skillet for a couple minutes

The green beans I boiled until crisp tender, then sautéed in a bit of olive oil with salt and pepper until browned a bit.

Chicken and Prosciutto Lettuce Wraps

This would be much easier to make and eat as a salad, but you know my aversion. On each lettuce leaf I have crispy prosciutto, Greek chicken, cucumbers, red onion, and ranch dressing.

I cooked the prosciutto in a skillet just like you would bacon, but it does need a little oil in with it to get it going.

Greek Chicken (I’m obsessed)

Shakshuka

I was out of tomato paste today and it was fine, but I much prefer the richer taste and color it brings to this dish.

2) ADD 2 tsp minced garlic and stir
3) ADD 1 can diced tomatoes (I like petite) and 1 tablespoon tomato paste
4) SEASON with ground black pepper and 1 tsp each of cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt, and mix well

6) POP yolks if you like them cooked through and season the eggs with salt and pepper
7) COVER the skillet with a lid and cook on low until eggs reach desired doneness
