Recipe Type: Pasta, Dinner, Main
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 4-6
In a pinch, pasta is a quick easy meal. Here’s a yummy and simple dinner.
Ingredients
  • 4 T oil (I used olive, but you could try coconut)
  • 1 package penne rice pasta (or whatever pasta you like)
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed
  • 3 T tomato paste
  • 1 C leeks, chopped in rounds and washed
  • 1 pkg mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 pkg bacon
  • 1/4 to 1/2 C balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 C parmesan cheese (1/2 C reserved for topping)
  • 1 C pasta water
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 t red pepper flakes
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon. Drain on paper towel. Crumble when cool. Drain fat from pan, but don’t clean pan.
  2. Cook balsamic vinegar and reduce (bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer until thickened and syrupy – keep an eye on it, it can burn quickly!).
  3. Cook pasta. While it cooks: Heat oil in bacon pan. Add leeks and mushrooms. Once mushrooms are partway cooked, add tomato paste, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, carrots. Cook a couple more minutes, then add the kale.
  4. Before draining the pasta, take 1 C pasta water and add to the mushroom mixture. Taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
  5. Combine pasta with sauce. Mix in parmesan cheese.
  6. Top each serving with bacon, parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar.

  3. Add vinegar/wine. Stir. Cook 5 minutes more.
  4. In a separate pan, heat remaining 2 T oil. Whisk in flour and cook 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in 1 C stock. Add mustard and let thicken. Add to veggies, along with stock, milk, pork, honey, and corn (you can add water at this point too, if there’s room in the pot – be careful, it will bubble and splash, so not too close to the top!). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook 1 hour.
  5. Add water (optional). Blend a little with immersion blender (optional). Cook an additional 30 minutes, or less if you’re ready to eat sooner.
  6. minutes before serving, add greens and herbs.
  7. minutes before serving, turn off heat and add cheese and 1 t vinegar.
Notes

Would be great with ham, clams, chicken, salmon, even without meat.
Would be yummy topped with bacon, chives, croutons.
Would be excellent served in a bread bowl, or with corn muffins.

Katy’s Omelets

Written by , Posted in Breakfast, Cheese, Dinner, Eggs, Gluten Free, Low Carb, Lunch, Main Dishes, Meat, Pork, Potatoes, Vegetables

Katy’s Omelets
Recipe Type: Breakfast, Eggs
Author: Katy Durrance
Serves: 1
How about an omelet for breakfast in the morning or for a gourmet dinner?!
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of pepper
  • herbs (rosemary, time, chives, parsley, etc.) put as much as you please! 🙂
  • potatoes cooked with salt, pepper, and garlic
  • bacon, cooked and chopped
  • grated cheese (preferably monetary jack)
Instructions
  1. Heat a small pan to medium to medium high heat.
  2. Beat the eggs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Spread butter on the pan and immediately add the egg mixture. Here’s the secret, add the cheese and herbs when the egg is mostly raw, this helps all the flavors to seep into the egg and make it tastier.
  4. Once the egg starts lifting a bit from the pan add the bacon and potatoes. Then, with the spatula, fold the egg in half. Keep it there for a few seconds then slide it onto a plate. Garnish with a few leftover herbs. Bon Appetite!

Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Think bacon and eggs is just for breakfast? How about on a burger? No, I’m not kidding.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 t sweet paprika
  • 1 T chili powder
  • Chili & Garlic Smoked Sea Salt (or regular salt, and some red pepper flakes)
  • pepper
  • 1 egg

  • 1 T red wine vinegar
  • juice from one small orange
  • 1/4 C oats (or breadcrumbs)
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • lettuce
  • spinach
  • tomato
  • hamburger buns
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon. Drain all fat. Combine meat with seasonings, 1 egg, oats, vinegar, and olive oil. Mix with hands (don’t overmix). Form 4 patties, pressing down in the middle slightly.
  2. Cook burgers in bacon pan over med heat, for a few minutes (or until bottom is no longer raw, and is browned). Flip, cover, turn down heat (if necessary) and cook until internal temperature reaches 160F. Let rest while eggs fry. Top with bacon, egg, lettuce, spinach, tomato, and any condiments.
Notes

These burgers kinda fell apart and had to be re-shaped when I put them into the pan. BUT, they were juicy and moist after they were cooked, so totally worth it!
