A few of my favorite easy spring asparagus recipes include a soup, a side, and an entree.

Asparagus isn’t just for good looks and taste. Asparagus is highly anti-inflammatory. If you’re not familiar with what inflammation can do in your body, it’s not a pretty picture. It’s the root cause of many cancers and chronic diseases. In fact, many chronic diseases can be reversed into remission if we go on the attack with big fat healthy food that fights inflammation, like asparagus.

The benefits of asparagus go well beyond anti-inflammation, with cancer fighting properties and will act as a natural diuretic.

These are not the only asparagus recipes on this blog, but a few that are great for this time of year.

Italian sausage will find itself in appetizers, breakfast, lunch and dinner, but we especially love the Italian sausage meals we have come to love and I’ve added more sausage recipes here so there are more than 15.

Fall is around the corner, and this is a time people tend to huddle back into the kitchen, cooking comfort food, baking, entertaining, hosting game days, and holiday gatherings.

Extra Large Oversize Cookie Spatula – Honestly a cookie spatula is a necessity if you make oversize cookies like these bacon chocolate chip cookies.

Nut Chopper – I use this everyday in my bakery and it’s really helpful during the holidays.

Food Thermometer – I use everyday all day. My cakes are done at 207 F. My sourdough is done at 208 F. Cheesecake is done at 150 F. I’ll bet you didn’t know you could take your baked goods temp. It really helps.

Quiche Pan – Make quiche or a large tart. It needs to have a removable bottom.

Vertical Spoon Holder – Finally a clean counter awaits, especially when making soup or tomato sauce.

Garlic Keeper – Keep your garlic fresh and cook lots of great recipes.

Stainless Steel Whisk – You do need a good whisk.

Oxo Extra Large Silicone Spatula is my totally favorite kitchen tool. Buy two and thank me for this is probably my all time favorite kitchen item. Perfect for omelettes and so much more.

Aluminum Butter Cutter – perfect for making biscuits or pastry crust. Butter must be in small pieces to make successful biscuits and pie dough.

Vertical Chicken Roaster – Can we just embrace a whole roasted chicken?

Stackable Cooling Rack for Cakes, Cookies Biscuits – A cooling rack really does matter. Remember to let your cookies slightly cool before removing them to a rack.

Rectangular Tart Pan – I’ve used this for so many tarts.

Stainless Steel Star Cookie Cutters (5 pack) – Great for Holidays.

Table Crumb Sweeper by Fox Run – Because now is the time you’ll have more people around the dinner table.

Stick Adhesive for Candles – The holidays are coming and this means real candles.

Food Scale. Last but not least, if you want to be a successful baker, you must weigh the flour. It’s also great for weighing cookies, meatballs, rolls, to produce the same size.

The post My Favorite Kitchen Essentials appeared first on Spinach Tiger.

This is one of my most popular summer recipes for many years. I think it’s the black pepper that makes it so so tasty. Don’t forget to see all the things you can do with corn, as I have many recipes here.

While I’m not originally from the South, I can claim a few southern roots. My grandmother was from Virginia and she made the best fried chicken in the world. Here is her recipe.

After years of practice and patience it has been said that Spinach Tiger’s southern fluffy biscuits can’t be beat. Even the gluten free fluffy southern biscuit has gotten rave reviews from readers. (Both have videos to help you along).

Why is something as simple as a southern fried corn recipe to hard to get right or require a recipe?

TWO THINGS

Childhood memories. This person’s grandmother made it this way with sugar and flour and who knows what? This other person had a grandmother who knew how to milk the corn to the last drop. Then there’s someone else who adds a cup of heavy cream. Everyone remembers their southern fried corn recipe differently.

Quality or Type of the Corn  It’s key to get very fresh, creamy sweet corn. Silver queen corn would be the corn of choice for this recipe. If you use other less creamy corn, then a little heavy cream will do. Having said that, I used peaches and cream corn for this and still loved it. (I find it hard to turn down any kind of fried corn).

What’s the Best Way to Cut the Corn off the Cob?

If you don’t have a sharp knife, or you want the EASIEST WAY to cut corn off the cob, you will want this tool from Oxo.

What’s the Best Pan to make Fried Corn in?

Cast Iron Frying Pan – I practice what I preach. I have 13 cast iron pans (most are frying pans, a few are dutch ovens). I use them every single day in one form or another. They take the heat. They last forever. They go right into the oven. They are super affordable. I use my 12 inch lodge cast iron frying pan in this recipe, because I like the corn to get a little caramelize


More is not always more in a Southern Fried Corn Recipe.

I’m Italian, and it’s our food philosophy to make the best food with as few ingredients or disturbances as possible. Some of the Southern cuisine recipes (not all, just some) have more ingredients than necessary and sometimes too much cooking time. More is not always more.

Two sticks of butter is not better than one stick of butter for making Southern fried corn. A cup of cream is not better than a splash of cream when only a splash does the job. Editing is the absolute key to bringing balance to a recipe. Even this recipe might need your own personal tweaks, so taste taste taste and stop stop stop when you like it!

Do this if you like your Fried Corn Super Creamy.

If you like your corn super creamy, don’t let it caramelize. Cook it on very low, adding cream as you see fit. If you like your corn a bit browned and creamy at the same time, like I do, turn the heat up a bit, and use cream sparingly. Keep in mind you will be at the mercy of the type of corn you use, but I think with the proper tweaking, you can make any corn off the cob taste good!

Black Pepper is Key to Southern Fried Corn

This southern fried corn recipe has few ingredients. Bacon grease, butter, salt, pepper and perhaps a splash or two of cream. You can opt out of the bacon grease and add more butter, but do not forget the black pepper, and use more than you think you should. If you have some white pepper, a dash of that would be nice too, but sparingly, as that can be harsh.

Some people add bacon to the corn. I prefer not, but feel free.

Left Over Southern Fried Corn can Blossom into other Recipes.

• Southern Fried Corn Cakes – light, fluffy, full of flavor, texture and comfort.
• Leek and Corn Quiche
• Sausage Corn Muffins
• Caramelized Onion Risotto and Sweet Corn
• Open Faced Frittata
• Scrambled Eggs with Corn
• Corn Buttermilk Quiche.

Make Fried Corn with Canned Corn if Necessary

If it’s past fresh corn season and you still want to make fried corn, it will take 6 cups of corn to make this recipes. Each ear of corn is roughly 3/4 cup of corn.

I know this is not a low-carb dish, but every now and again potatoes call my name, especially Yukon golds.

Yukon golds are small potatoes, yellow in color, buttery and creamy and often sold in bags. Versatile for baking, mashing, and roasting, these make a beautiful crispy potato dish.

• Simply place in cold water and boil for about 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.
• Remove from the water, smash with a glass and place in a cast iron pan or a baking dish.
• Pour melted butter all over, season with salt, pepper and rosemary, bake at 400 degrees until potatoes are crispy and wow, have you got a side dish.

Variations for Crispy Smashed Potatoes

• Serve with sour cream or tzatziki.
• Melt cheddar cheese.
• Crumble blue cheese or feta on the potatoes.
• Add fried eggs.
• Make an amazing scramble with the leftovers.
• Add 10 eggs and make a potato frittata.

I’m already thinking about you making a batch for your bestie and enjoying such a lovely treat without grain, without gluten and without guilt.

My Journey as a Keto Baker and Keto Bakery Owner

Before I get down to sharing this recipe for keto strawberry biscuit with you, I want to have a little chat.

In the past six years, I have completely changed my kitchen to predominantly low-carb, gluten free and keto friendly. My journey started many years ago trying out paleo, which I still think is a great life style as long as you don’t overdo the honey, maple syrup and sweet potatoes. I also played around gluten free with rice flours and tapioca.

I don’t recommend such gluten free flours for daily eating as they spike blood sugar. Along came a strong need for good, grain free baking recipes.

Admittedly, I was overwhelmed with a huge challenge. Can I make biscuits, cakes and pie crusts that are grain free and low carb and have it be worthy of my time and palate?

My most important consideration was you. Can I give you recipes you can repeat at home and eat with joy? Can I help you have a healthier world?

Not only was I intensely interested in a new way of baking, but there’s a big purpose behind it. Together we are fighting for our life, our mobility, our brains, our joints, and we are staving off chronic disease from sugar and grains.

If this resonates with you, and you are trying to swim through all the recipes on line or seek advice for how to bake grain free, I’m here to tell you, I don’t just throw up recipes because keto is trendy. I’m in this for the long game. This is one of the reasons I keep working with my basic recipes to keep the fun going and give you variety like keto strawberry biscuits.

A few years ago I opened a keto home bakery, which forced me to be even more diligent in developing consistent recipes that would be well received. I am still testing and retesting recipes to bring you what I believe to be the best keto baked goods. Take a moment to subscribe and enjoy.

It’s quite different to give recipes on a website than to actually bake and sell them.

The Best Keto Strawberry Biscuit

These are made with the base of my ever famous, most amazing grain free biscuits, the ones I sell in the bakery. The base was something I got lucky with. In the first few months of its development, I tweaked here and there, but now I wouldn’t change a single thing. It’s the same base I use for my keto cheddar biscuits and my keto cinnamon biscuits.

Ingredients for Keto Strawberry Biscuits

• Almond Flour
• Coconut Flour
• Egg Whites
• Golden Flax
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Butter
• Swerve (or erythritol of choice)
• Fresh Strawberries, diced

Baking Tips for Keto Strawberry Biscuits

• Keep your dry ingredients, except the swerve, in bags to make keto biscuits anytime.
• Gently toss the strawberries with some Swerve Confectioner’s sweetener if you have it.
• Place strawberries in biscuits after they are already on the baking sheet, which allows you to gently place them, keep things even, and not turn your batter pink.

In early church times, people gave up meat, eggs, and butter for Lent (which begins on Ash Wednesday and leads up to Easter Sunday).

I’m Catholic, so Lent has meant sacrifice, fasting, alms giving and a more reflective meditative time. It’s a time for spiritual and physical renewal. Fasting is an homage to the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert, praying, fasting and preparing for his destiny.

The lenten season has brought about some very delicious and interesting Easter food traditions which are prepared with eagerness to break the fast and celebrate the joyous day of the resurrection.

Lamb is a Universal Traditional Easter Food

Lamb, which relates back to the passover meal in the Jewish faith, is and was very prominent in the Easter dinner. For Christians, the lamb symbolizes Jesus as the “Lamb of God.”

More Lamb Recipes

• Lamb Stew with Dried Plums
• Lamb Loin Chops with Mint Chimichurri
• Reverse Sear Lollypop Lamb Chops
• Greek Feta Lamb Meatballs
• Rack of Lamb
• Lamb Chops Za’atar

Traditionally, many households, especially in Eastern European countries, would be busy preparing the food on Saturday and taking a basket of food to the church to be blessed. Our church will bless baskets of food on Saturdays, with a benediction.

Baskets contain foods such as decorated hard boiled eggs, lamb shaped butter or lamb shaped sugar, ham, sausage, lamb, cheese. Bitter herbs of the Passover are expressed in condiments like horseradish, pepper, and oil and vinegar. Sometimes wine can be included (representing the blood of Christ).

Painted Eggs are a Traditional Easter Food

Eggs are a symbol of new life and rebirth, which aligns with the Christian celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. Originally, eggs were painted red to point to the blood of Christ.

Asparagus, an Easter Vegetable

Asparagus often accompanies lamb, ham or is stuffed into a quiche or frittata.

• Asparagus Quiche
• Asparagus Ricotta Frittata
• Asparagus Gremolata
• Asparagus Soup
• Roasted Asparagus

Coconut a Traditional Easter Food

I’ve always wondered why coconut cake is a traditional Easter dessert. Upon a little research coconut in some cultures represents the incarnation, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Jewish culture eats coconut macaroons at Passover. Americans (especially in the south) eat coconut cake, and many eat chocolate coconut eggs.
