I am still loving my birthday CB2 White and Black Marble coffee table. If only I had a new rug that fit the space better, but staying in gratitude, not wishitude. Leather chair, sofa and all pottery and pillows from West Elm. Everyone asks about the Cow Picture. It’s one of the few pieces of art that’s not an original. It’s cheap and it’s from Kirkland, but this room needed COLOR and she is what I see when I’m cooking. While I love neutrals for calmness and white is my favorite color followed by soft blue/green, I must have pops of color. Are you a color person or neutral person?

Friday night is often pizza night! How about keto friendly pork panko crusted Chicken Parm with Pepperoni? Pork panko is the perfect “bread crumb” for the keto or grain free diet that still wants a crusted dish. Trust me, you can’t make your own as good as they can do it. The pepperoni is the ultimate topping for extra flavor! https://spinachtiger.com/keto-chicken-parmesan-with-pepperoni-with-pork-panko/

Did you know that it was the Italians who brought this beautiful green cruciferous to America? 🥦 No wonder Roasted Broccoli is one of my favorite sides and something we had frequently at the family table growing up. The D’Arrigo Brothers weren’t the first to plant it, but they popularized broccoli in the 1920’s, first in San Jose, California, then in Boston, under the name Andy Boy. You might be familiar with Andy Boy and the pink label, as they are still in business, four generations strong. This is just a 15 minute EASY roast with olive oil, lemon and salt. This is part of my collection of 30 low-carb veggies with over 75 recipe. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/low-carb-vegetables-keto-recipes/

I heard a rumor the weather is going to chill! This beef cabbage soup is just in time and let me tell you, I ate probably six bowls last week. 😋I’m a little crazy 🤪as I ate this for lunch and then dinner, and then lunch again and dinner again. A few days later I was wishing for more soup. The SECRET to this soup is making a tomato broth. 🍅In fact, I could just sit and eat tomato broth with nothing else. I use organic chicken broth with a can of Cento San Marzano tomatoes, 🍅🍅but there’s a bit of a technique to get this right. (not hard, just have to get it right). A good tomato broth will entertain any kind of veggies. This is a Whole 30 compliant recipe, Paleo compliant recipe and a low-carb choice. 2 net carbs per serving, so please don’t complain to me about tomatoes. My suggestion is to have some cooked macaroni around to add in for the family who needs some carbs. There’s always a way to feed a family and serve individual diets. Replace beef with sausage or chicken. It still works, but the beef cabbage soup is a classic. The day I put this on instagram, at least two people made it and sent me pictures, LOVING IT. There’s no higher compliment, and I wish I could hug each 😍and every reader in appreciation of this miraculous connection from my kitchen to yours. 👩🏻‍🍳This is my life passion and purpose to meld our kitchen together and propel the joy of eating through life giving food. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/beef-and-cabbage-soup-paleo-keto-whole-30-friendly/

#ad This week is busy, and I’m using BUSH’S® White Chili Beans to make a gorgeous easy, soup any family would love to gather for.
BUSH’S® White Chili Beans are not only flavorful; they are versatile. I chose to make a Mediterranean Shrimp and White Bean Soup relying on the tasty flavors of garlic, cumin and onions cooked into every bean. This means I can make this hearty, flavorful soup in under 30 minutes. Usually it takes me hours to make beans from scratch, and I love that BUSH’S® Beans provide an uncompromised way to deliver delicious food to my table. I used an organic chicken broth, fresh shrimp, olives, peppadews, and cherry tomatoes. Serve with crusty bread as the perfect soup to transition from summer to Fall and busy school nights. Don’t forget to bookmark this page for the recipe. #bushsbeans @bushsbeans
______________________________________

BUSH’S® Beans are still a family-owned company, that creates the best beans on the market. This is just one of the many cans that sits in my pantry ready to make satisfying easy lunches and dinners. Enjoy the recipe below.

I am obsessed with the Great British Bake Off, 🎂🍰🧁and can’t wait till tomorrow to make my own birthday cake. 🎂It will be layers of almond wedding cake with homemade raspberry jam and almond raspberry buttercream, topped with fresh raspberries. I made this back in May, but never perfected it enough to blog it. If you don’t know me, I’m not one to fake recipes. If it isn’t absolutely right, 👩🏻‍🍳I’ll hold back until I test it again, because I know my readers trust me, and I value that. Fingers crossed, 🤞🏼I nail this tomorrow. The funny part is, although I use almond flour and almond extract, I’m not getting the almond taste (like wedding cake) that I desire. I think I have an idea to fix this and will let you know.

Crispy skin, very moist chicken inside. This weekend, take some time to roast a chicken. This takes exactly ONE HOUR of passive baking. I did this version with some riced cauliflower. It’s almost tricky, because I added the cauliflower halfway through. The KEY is salting the chicken up to three days in advance. Leave out on counter about two hours, prior to baking. Separate skin from flesh and stuff with herbs like rosemary and sage. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Use a good chicken. I prefer an air chilled that isn’t full of water, which will roast much more crispy. If you really want to do this like I do, heat a cast iron pan very hot. Place chicken breast side down for thirty minutes. When you turn it over, first add the cauliflower. Some may find that method (from Zuni Cafe) a little daunting. You CAN just roast breast side for the whole hour. I just like that bottom to be really crisp.

Happy National Cooking Day. So near and dear to my heart. COOKING IS SELF-CARE. If you haven’t yet watched my guest appearance on the Dani Williamson Facebook show you’ll love it. She’s a hoot as a functional medicine nurse practitioner and you will laugh (and maybe cry). It’s my own weight loss story as a fat child/teenager, and why my HEART is to help others struggling with food addiction to junk food. If I had one wish to make for the world, it would be to change the food culture one family at a time, one kitchen at a time, one recipe at a time to truly enjoy REAL FOOD that doesn’t come out of a science lab in a food company. Here is one of my favorite fall dishes. Spaghetti Squash, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, a dollop of cream and it’s a real winner. #nationalcookingday

Instructions

I just found out it’s national za’atar day. Now some of you may not know what that is…it’s one of my favorite spices, and it’s particularly good on chicken with lemon slices. This recipe was so easy to do. Slice cauliflower and place thighs on top. Sprinkle with za’atar and top with lemon slice. Bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.

As a food blogger there are many recipes that are one and done. NOT THIS ONE. I have been making several versions of the legendary almond tart (originally from Chez Panisse) for over ten years.👩🏻‍🍳 Doug and I often talk about perfect songs that cannot be messed with like Amazing Grace and Bohemian Rhapsody. And this almond tart. Mostly heavy cream and a sweetener, there is no better way to put almonds into a tart. 😋This is grain free, sugar free and gluten free and because it’s fall it’s made with apples. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/grain-free-apple-almond-tart-low-carb-sugar-free/

It’s a new flavor… low-carb pumpkin spice in my home bakery. Out of everything I make, these are my personal favorite (for now). Doug says they taste like Starbuck’s pumpkin scones, although the texture is more of a tender moist cake . Recipe coming soon. Available in bakery in September 6 for $25 Dairy free option.
