Make White Peach Sangria Recipe with Peach Ice Cubes

Finally I had a chance to make a slow food dinner.

Finally I had a chance to make a slow food dinner. 👩🏻‍🍳 Cuban Picadillo is by far the best meal we’ve had since this whole “safe in the house” thing. 😋😋Picadillo is a medley of ground beef, Spanish olives, onion, garlic, carrots, capers, tomato, oregano, and Sazon Seasoning, cooked low and slow. I made my own Sazon seasoning which are on the stories today. A real blog post is coming this week. Wait for it. It’s seriously a dish full of flavor, comfort and joy!❤️ ______________________________________ #cubanpicadillo #cubangroundbeef #groundbeefrecipe #spanisholives #slowcookerrecipe #slowfood #picadillo #sazon #instafood #spanishfood ##foodgasm #eeeeeats #foodies #nashvillefoodblogger #foodphoto #foodblogeats #spinachtiger #delish

Doesn’t this keto strawberry cake cheer you up?🍓🍓 I can honestly say this might be the best day I’ve had since this whole pandemic thing started. 😍I woke up with the usual heaviness 😞that most of us are experiencing. But after the prayer call all that heaviness was lifted and I felt like I had a Vitamin B12 shot. 🥳Plus a beautiful sunny day after many rainy cloudy days. I was able to move with joy getting all the bakes done for Saturday delivery, make us a salmon lunch, a chicken dinner and put Teddy Bears in the window. In between I even managed to work out 💪🏼and watch last Sunday’s church sermon. I created a new cake recipe that was a sort of flop but I like flops. I learn from them. I’m an enneagram 3 and it’s important for me to accomplish something every day, even flops. I have a wing 2 and it’s important for me to help someone. The strawberry 🍓🍓cake was a gift to my first bakery client and it’s on the blog. #linkinprofile You just have to double the recipe to make a double layer cake. https://spinachtiger.com/keto-strawberry-cake-with-roasted-strawberries/ ______________________________________ #strawberrycake #ketostrawberrycake #ketocake #lowcarbcake #ketoidesserts #glutenfreecake #sugarfeecake #swerve #spinachtiger #easterdessert #lowcarbstrawberrycake #diabeticdesserts #foodblogeats #f52grams #thebakefeed #bakedfromscratch #bakecake

Easter Eggs with Whipped Cream is FUN! Make sure y

Easter Eggs with Whipped Cream is FUN! Make sure you stockpile a few white eggs and cool whip. I have a VIDEO on how to do this at the blog post. #linkinprofile. Let’s think resurrected hearts, spirit and relationships. https://spinachtiger.com/how-to-color-eggs-for-easter-with-whipped-cream-or-shaving-cream/ Friends this is a heavy time, Sometimes we feel so powerless in situations like this that we don’t do anything because we think we have nothing to offer. We are a generous, creative country. Let me encourage you that you have a purpose every day which may have drastically changed in the last week. If you get your focus on others and being part of the solution, you will find new treasures and more peace. Today by God’s good grace and mercy I had enough ingredients to give muffins to nurses, and enough money in the bank to buy dinner for an elderly couple and give them some frozen chicken (that they can’t find anywhere). What little I have, I’ll gladly share, as God is providing. The bakery had an outstanding week of orders, and I thank God, because provision allows me to pay it forward. I’m taking nothing for granted. And, truthfully, I could use a rest. But if God is providing orders so I can be equipped to help others, then I’m on it. I have a second hospital waiting and someone even offered to help pay for ingredients. Each day find someone to love. If you know nurses or hospital workers, use curbside pick up at a local restaurant and drop it on the doorstep. They could use a dinner and that blesses a small business. I would LOVE TO HEAR the little (or big) things you are doing to make things better in this very uncertain time. ______________________________________ #coloredeggs #eastereggs #eggs #paintedeggs #easter #kidcraft #dyedeggs #celebrate #foodblogger nashvillefoodblogger #spinachtiger

If you feel led, today we pray for the economy! For the Truckers! and what God may put on your heart today. It’s hard to get into the call. Some had to try 20 times so come early. I’ll be on call at 9. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #prayerchangesthings #prayerwarriors

Oh how I miss the days of hugs and spending time with people. Today I dropped off bakes on the porch with no contact. It’s not the way I’m built. I’m Italian and I hug and I’m chatty. I always find time to get to know you more in person. I’m not complaining because I know these days will come back, just eagerly awaiting. I am still doing my best to eat low-carb and eat some comfort food. This Sausage Crusted Three Cheese Pizza is EASY to make and is now an almost weekly regular. Whole Foods sausage is still plentiful at the store and this is a great way to use a little left over sauce. Ricotta, Mozzarella and Pecorino bring it home. You roll out the sausage as the crust, bake it for twenty minutes, add sauce and toppings and bake another ten minutes or so. Fresh basil if you can find it really makes this. Good tidings everyone. We will get through this and we’ll learn a lot about our world, each other and ourselves. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/keto-sausage-crusted-three-cheese-pizza/ ______________________________________ #pizzanight #lowcarbpizza #basil #lowcarbideas #ketoitalian #ketopizza #buzzfeedfood #glutenfreepizza #Sausagecrustedpizze #foodphoto #ketocomfortfood #ricotta #pecorino #manfood #f52grams #foodblogeats #eatathome #homecook #spinachtiger #foodblogger #nashvillefoodblogger

Grab some flowers if you can. 🌸Makes staying home just a little sweeter! 🥰We are well and taking the time to get things done on all of our white boards. Our jobs from home are busier than we would actually like. If you are home it could be a fun time to do things you never do. Try a new recipe. Make your own sour dough starter. Paint a room a new color besides gray. Do a deep clean. Reorganize pantry, garage, basement. Send meals to neighbors. Dust off the sewing machine. Write a song. Start a novel. Call people for a nice chat. Talking actually alleviates stress. Getting physically busy helps shift energy from negative to positive. Friends I’m praying 🙏🏻for all of you. Let me know what you’re doing with this time!❤️Also give me your prayer requests. Praying is the ultimate stress reliever. I love who is on the other end 😘

Italian Sausage Soup with Cabbage. Now is the time

Italian Sausage Soup with Cabbage. Now is the time to take that cabbage that is everywhere and make soup. This one freezes well and is perfect for the whole family. An important form of comfort is food. Let’s keep it healthy, hearty and comforting. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/spicy-italian-soup-with-sausage-recipe/ ______________________________________ The Twins (remember them, my best friend’s boys age 12) have been here the last few days. This morning we had a special time reading Proverbs 3 and talking about how we must pray for others, rely on God and look forward to growing spiritually deeper in this time. We will get through this, but let’s come out on the other side closer to God. Proverbs 3:26 God is our confidence in times of crises, keeping our heart at rest in every situation.

I missed National Meatball Day, which is crazy, because meatballs are my favorite food. 😋My mom, Retro Rose, made the best. 👩🏻‍🍳She used to soak white bread in milk and add a ton of cheese and parsley. They were the best comfort food. I now skip the bread, but I still soak the meat with milk, which tenderizes. I also make sure half of my meat is ground chuck to ensure a tender meatball. She made hers extra big and we would laugh! I keep mine smaller, and they tuck inside my grain free rolls nicely. We served the meatball sliders to the class Saturday as a keto / paleo/ gluten free Italian lunch. One of the other ways I like meatballs is with sauce and ricotta cheese. Over the years, I’ve made many versions of balls. Lamb meatballs with mint pistachio pesto. Veal meatballs. ❤️Chicken meatballs with Quinoa. ❤️Paleo Meatballs. ❤️Traditional meatballs. Grain Free meatballs. ❤️Meatball lasagna. 💚Meatballs with savory blueberry compote (a real treat), stuffed meatballs (ricotta) over a bed of peas (so delicious). 💚And..meatballs in soup (Italian Wedding Soup). 💚If you have new meatball ideas, let me know, but they have to be made with meat (not subs). Do you have good meatball memories? I sure do. You can find my latest meatball sliders with grain free rolls, grain free meatballs #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/keto-meatballs-keto-meatball-sliders/ ______________________________________ #nationalmeatballday #meatballs #ketomeatballs #meatballsliders #meatballs #homemademeatballs #meatballssandwich #paleomeatballs #glutenfreemeatballs #thekitchn #f52grams #foodblogeats #foodblogger #huffposttaste #foodphoto #spinachtiger #italianfood

Yesterday we had our fifth keto baking class this year.👩🏻‍🍳 This time we did CAKE and wow, we had fun! 🥳The biggest treat was the complimentary lunch. We served keto meatball sliders, and let’s just say no one left hungry. I just posted the recipe today at spinach tiger. Easy to find. Several students have now signed up for a THIRD CLASS which was THEIR IDEA. I’m overjoyed with this and they keep saying “it’s such a great time.” They begged for a sausage crusted pizza class and we will do that May 2. We do a deep dive on how to make these recipes work, what ingredients to use, and since its HANDS ON, the students actually learn something they can take home to their families. We have a social time with lively conversation and friendships formed. FOOD IS MEANT TO BE JOYFUL. It should be something to look forward to, something to bond around, something to enhance the culture and enhance physical life and SOCIAL LIFE. I believe in sitting around a table of food for hours and talking, laughing and forming bonds. The sad thing is the food source we are mostly stuck with doesn’t enhance our life and sends mixed messages. It’s 2020. We can take back our power. We can learn to cook basic tasty food and perk it up with herbs and spices. We can make cakes that don’t kill you. We can have an Italian night and still be able to walk. We can learn how to make changes without sacrificing our time and our budget. It’s just some maneuvering to get back to how people ate prior to 1960 with some added technology help. Special Class Announcement. Sausage Crusted Pizza Class. It’s for sausage crusted pizza (no almond flour, no fat head dough). Three pizzas, Italian Salad, and my grandmothers’s tomato sauce recipe. The class is not yet on the schedule as I’m waiting for a few who asked for it to sign up. It’s May 2 if you’re interested.

Have you ever braised pork shoulder steaks AKA pork blade steaks? They are a cheaper cut (I spent $7 at Whole Foods), from the shoulder with the blade bone. They are fatty, tasty, and tough. Braising for 9 hours in San Marzano Tomatoes rendered a glorious, flavorful stew with Green Beans and Colorful Peppers. ❤️💚💛🧡If I’m being honest here, I ate three bowls. Completely dairy free as even grated cheese gets in the way. I’m This is one of those nostalgic dishes that reminds me of my family. We ate a similar dish with pork chops and it was the last dish my cousin, Sam, cooked for me before he died. 💜I always think of him when I put green beans, tomatoes and pork together. Do you have dishes like that? It shows the power of food memories and why we need to keep creating them. ❤️💖Recipe on the way and it’s beyond easy and forgiving. Btw my tomatoes of choice...Cento San Marzano. ______________________________________ Notice the wine in the background? It’s from Scout and Cellar and a delicious big fat fruit flavored red.

While we are okay, we are stunned and sad. Will be gathering info on how to help Nashville. My husband grew up in East Nashville, so he is shaken. Nashville is strong and community oriented and will pull through but help is needed. I wil l be giving 50 percent of my bakery revenue for the next few weeks. Still figuring this out. We feel for everyone and do not want to take our welfare for granted. Praying hard for our city. #nashvilletornado2020 #nashville #prayfornashville

I wonder, do you do what I do? Forget to appreciat

I wonder, do you do what I do? Forget to appreciate your creativity. I create recipes, photo them and then don’t appreciate the work. A year later I take a look and I’m like “wow, I love this.” Why didn’t I then? For this photo, I painted the backdrop myself and created the recipe, but most days I don’t have a grasp of the beauty or value of creating. If you’re a creator, whether it’s recipes, 👩🏻‍🍳art, 🎨songs, 🎼poems, design, don’t dismiss yourself. Keep creating because it’s part of who you are and important to how you’re wired. A true creator creates without a blog or an instgram account. There’s a difference between Influencer and creator, and I hope you see that and appreciate yourself. You can find this recipe on the blog. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/meyer-lemon-curd/ ______________________________________ #meyerlemons #meyerlemoncurd #blueberries #ketocurd #ketodessert #tastingtable #ketorecipes #spinachtiger #foodblogeats #foodphoto #bluebackdrop #meyerlemoncurd #nashvillefoodblogger #ketofoodblogger

I often hear that people don’t cook because they’re single or it’s just them at home. That was never me. A mere five minute prep and 17 minutes in the oven and I made myself rack of lamb while Doug was traveling. Does this sound crazy to you? There are many dinners that require almost no prep and roast quickly. Why not enjoy. Cooking is self-care and good food is part of life’s pleasure. Even though I’m as busy as I’ve ever been, I find the time to enjoy good food. ______________________________________ I’m a meat eater because it makes me feel good. I’ll never go full blown carnivore because I love vegetables, but about once a week, I just eat meat for dinner with nothing else. My body likes it. It’s easy to prepare. It’s filling. Are you still a meat eater in this “vegan ish” world? ______________________________________ #easydinners #fancydinners #ketodinners #lowcarbdinners #lambchops #lamb #carnivore #spinachtiger #meatlover #tastingtable #f52grams #foodblogeatscooks

Purple food 💜makes me excited….Purple cabbage

Purple food 💜makes me excited….Purple cabbage turned into slaw with a bit of lime vinaigrette and cilantro is great add in for tacos. Perfect for my grain free tortillas which by the way I teach in my keto bread class. Red cabbage contains flavonoids called anthocyanins, a powerful weapon against cancer. 💜Eat for health as much as you can.
