Broccoli Penne
Recipe Type: Main, Pasta
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 45 mins
Serves: 3-4
Roasted broccoli and carrots are paired with a fried egg, bacon, almonds, and a delicious sauce… oh and don’t forget the pasta!
Ingredients
  • 2 heads broccoli, cut into large pieces (use the stem too – cut/peel the tough outside and use the tender inside)
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • pinch cayenne
  • 1/2 t garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 t or half a sprig fresh tarragon
  • 1/2 t fresh oregano
  • 1/2 sprig fresh thyme
  • 1 T dijon mustard
  • 1/2 C balsamic vinegar (reduced to about 2-3 T)
  • 2-4 T olive oil
  • 3/4 – 1 C pasta water
  • 1 slice bacon/serving (for topping)
  • 1/4 C parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • 1/4 C almonds (for topping)
  • 1 egg/serving (for topping)
  • penne pasta
Instructions
  1. Toss broccoli with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast broccoli at 400F for 20 minutes. Halfway through add grated carrots (also tossed with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper).
  2. Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta, reduce balsamic vinegar (watch carefully so it doesn’t burn), and cook bacon.
  3. Whisk together the mustard, reduced balsamic vinegar, herbs, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, pepper. Stream in 2-3 T olive oil as you whisk. Add the pasta water.
  4. Right before serving, fry the egg(s) (I cooked mine covered so the top would set quicker).
  5. Combine pasta, sauce, and veggies. Top with an egg, 1 halved piece of bacon, almonds, and parmesan cheese.

BBQ Sauced Crock Pot Chicken

Written by , Posted in Condiments, Crock Pot, Dinner, Low Carb, Main Dishes, Meat, Poultry

BBQ Sauced Crock Pot Chicken
Recipe Type: Main, Meat
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Serves: 4
Chicken cooks low and slow in sweet and tangy BBQ sauce for a delicious and easy dinner.
Ingredients
  • 1 pack chicken breasts (mine had 2)
  • 1 pack bone-in chicken thighs (mine had 2)
  • 1 C BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 C water
  • 1/2 C apple cider
  • 1 t apple cider vinegar
  • olive oil
  • 1 red onion, roughly chopped in large pieces
  • 1 sweet pepper (or bell pepper), roughly chopped in large pieces
  • 1 tomato, roughly chopped in large pieces
Instructions
  1. Drizzle olive oil in a Crock Pot.
  2. Mix sauce, water, vinegar, and cider. Pour 1/4 of the mixture into the bottom of the Crock Pot. Place chicken on the sauce and pour remaining sauce over top. Arrange veggies over top of chicken.
  3. Cook on high heat for 3-4 hours (mine took about 4), or low heat for 5-6 hours, or until the chicken breast’s internal temperature comes to 170F, and the thighs come to 180F.
Notes

Cooking time depends on how cold chicken is when it goes into the Crock Pot. Mine was still slightly frozen, so it took a little bit longer. The most important thing is that it comes to a safe internal temperature.

Simple Mashed Potatoes

Written by , Posted in Dinner, Gluten Free, Potatoes, Vegetables, Vegetarian

Simple Mashed Potatoes
Recipe Type: Side, Potatoes
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4 medium-large potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
  • water (enough to fill to just below or at steamer basket bottom)
  • 1 t salt, to taste
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 to 1 C milk (or more, if you want them creamier – 1 C was perfect for me)
Instructions
  1. Pour cold water into a medium or large pot. Fill to just below or at steamer basket bottom.
  2. Place steamer basket in pot and fill with quartered potatoes.
  3. Steam, covered, until soft, about 25-30 minutes (potatoes should pierce easily with a fork).
  4. Remove potatoes from pot and place in a bowl (or back into dried out pot, or stand mixer). Add milk, salt, and olive oil. Mash to desired consistency (using a potato masher, hand blender, stand mixer…).
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Notes

These are simple, basic mashed potatoes. You could add: pepper, chives, parsley, roasted garlic, cheese, bacon, butter, or anything else that sounds yummy. You could, of course, also top them with gravy (but, alongside the chicken, I didn’t think they needed any).
