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!

Ginger Citrus Stir Fry – Episode 12

Written by , Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, Main Dishes, Quick and Easy, Rice, This Week's Feast, Vegetables, Vegetarian

Hello Episode 12! Using the contents of my Abundant Harvest Organics box, I made a delicious stir fry. It has carrots, bok choy, broccoli, leeks, and chard.

The sauce is citrusy with a hint of ginger. A quick, healthy, easy meal. Great for lunch or dinner!

After I made the stir fry, I went to a book signing (with Husband and our friend, Joanna) where I MET JOY THE BAKER!!!!! I’m still squealing a little on the inside.

I got a cookbook, and a spatula signed by her! 🙂

(Next week there will be a giveaway on here, to do with her cookbook.)

Ginger-Citrus Stir Fry

Serves: 2
Citrus meets veggies in a stir fry. And it is good.
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch broccoli, I left them whole, you could chop them if desired (that’s what I’d do next time)
  • 1 bunch bok choy, halved or chopped
  • 2 chard leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 handful mache, roughly chopped
  • 1 leek, chopped into rounds
  • 1 carrot, sliced into ovals
  • 2 oranges, juiced
  • 1 small lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 t ground ginger (fresh would be great too!)
  • 1/8 t red pepper flakes
  • 1 T honey
  • 1 1/4 T cornstarch
  • 1/2 C water (or use more orange juice)
  • 1/8 C (or more) soy sauce
  • salt (opt.)
  • 3 T canola oil
Instructions
  1. Cook whatever you want to go with the meal – meat, rice/quinoa etc…
  2. Chop veggies.
  3. Whisk together cornstarch, orange and lemon juices, water, soy sauce, honey, seasonings.
  4. Heat pan (a large frying pan, or wok would be best) over medium-high heat, add canola oil. When it’s hot, add carrots, leeks, and broccoli. Toss often, using tongs, cooking for a few minutes (veggies should retain their bright colors).
  5. Add bok choy, meche, and chard to pan. Toss to combine. Cook a few minutes more. Veggies should be hot, but still tender-crisp.
  6. Add sauce to pan. Stir to combine. Return to heat and cook about 1 minute, or until sauce is thickened. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve with rice (or whatever sides you’ve chosen) and enjoy!
Notes
I went vegetarian and simple for this meal. But, chicken (maybe pan seared kinda crispy, with some sesame seeds), beef, pork, or tofu would be a delicious addition. You can also use tons of other veggies: snap peas, green beans, celery, cauliflower, squash, garlic… use what’s in season, and what you have! Sesame seeds would be a nice addition. I just forgot to add them. You could also top with chives, peanuts, almonds, or crunchy noodles. I didn’t add any salt. I tasted it (it didn’t make it into the show) and for me, it didn’t need any. Cook time doesn’t include sides. Serves 2 with leftovers.

Prep time: 15 mins
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 olive oil
  • 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!
