Recipe Type: Dinner, Main, Soup
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 52 mins
Total time: 1 hour 2 mins
Serves: 2-4
A creamy, dreamy chowder that was inspired by corn on the cob.
Ingredients
  • 2 ears corn, kernels off cob
  • 1 C zucchini or summer squash, diced or chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 2 potatoes, diced or chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1 t tropical pepper sea salt
  • 1 1/2 t smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 t sweet paprika
  • 2 T + 1 t apple cider vinegar
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T bacon grease
  • 1/4 C feta, crumbled
  • 1 C parmesan, grated (plus more for topping, if desired)
  • 1/4 C cheddar, grated
  • 2 T all purpose flour
  • 1/4 C water
  • 4-6 C water
  • 1-2 C milk
  • 2 slices bacon/serving
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon. Remove from pan and place on paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve 1 T bacon grease.
  2. While bacon cooks, heat soup pot. Add olive oil. Add carrots, zucchini, garlic, potatoes, and seasonings. Cook over med heat until veggies start to get tender, 5-7 minutes, stirring often (make sure garlic doesn’t burn). Add 2 T apple cider vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan (deglazing the pan).
  3. Add water, cover, bring to a boil. Uncover and cook until veggies are cooked through, about 45 minutes or so.
  4. Whisk flour with 1/4 C water. Stir into soup. Add corn and bacon grease.
  5. Add milk (use as much or as little as you want, depending on desired thickness of soup). Cook until steam begins to rise, then turn off heat. Do not boil (the milk can “break” if it gets too hot).
  6. Add cheese, a little at a time, gently whisking in. Add 1 t apple cider vinegar.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve topped with bacon and parmesan cheese.

Recipe Type: Main, Salad, Side
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 6-8
Perfect for a picnic!
Ingredients
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 C water
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 C beans (I used black and pinto)
  • 1 summer squash, chopped (about 2 C total)
  • 1 zucchini, chopped (about 2 C total)
  • 4 ears of corn, kernels cut off the cob
  • 1/2 tomato, chopped
  • 8 pear tomatoes, halved
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 4 C water
  • 2 C uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1/4 fresh herbs, chopped (I used: chives, parsley, basil, and oregano)
  • 1/2 C kale, chopped
  • 2-3 T olive oil, divided
  • 1 C parmesan cheese
  • dressing: 1/2 C olive oil
  • 1/2 C balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 C apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T maple syrup
  • 1 T dijon mustard
  • salt
  • pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat a medium saucepan. Add 1 1/2 T olive oil. Add garlic and quinoa and cook, stirring often, over medium-high heat, 3-5 minutes. Add water, cover, bring to a boil. Uncover, let cook about 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is cooked.
  2. Meanwhile, add 1 1/2 T olive oil to a hot skillet. Add chicken breast and 1 C water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook covered, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 170F (about 10 minutes per side, or so, if it’s thick). Remove from pan and cool in refrigerator. Chop in small pieces.
  3. Combine all dressing ingredients except oil. Slowly whisk in oil.
  4. Combine quinoa with half of the dressing. Cool completely in refrigerator.
  5. Combine quinoa with veggies, cheese, chicken, and dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve with bread and honey butter, or corn muffins!
Notes

Keep salad cool while at the picnic with ice packs!
Could make vegetarian by omitting chicken, and adding tempeh.
This is a main dish, but would be great as a side to grilled steak, pork chops, or chicken. As a side to meat, omitting the meat in the salad would be fine.
