Link to full recipe here

Wasabi Dressing Flank Steak Salad Eat by Color

Ingredients

 

Flank Steak

Broccoli Cole Slaw

Shredded Carrots (yes they have these)

Wasabi Dressing (found in the health food market in Hyvee)

Spring Mix (Aragula, spinach, etc.)

1 Box of Quinoa

2 Cucumbers

2 Roma Tomatos

1 Medium Vadalia Onion

Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Sea Salt

Oregano

Crushed Black Pepper

 

Moctail with LaCroix

Fresh Mint

2 Limes

6 Cans of LaCroix Lime sparkling water

Crushed ice

 

Prepare the quinoa per instructions on the box. Cook the steak however ever you prefer. Grill, broil, or cook on the stove top to your desired finish. We did medium rare and prepped on the stove top. Toss slaw, carros, and spring mix. Slice steak thin and place on top of mixed vegetables. Apply wasabi dressing to your liking.

IMG_6941

Wash and peel cucumbers. Wash tomatoes. Peel onion. Chop, slice and dice all three. Combine and toss in a bowl. Top with balsamic, olive oil, dust with spices. Toss again.

wasabi 1

Muddle two or three mint leaves in each of 6 8oz glasses. Cut the limes and squeeze 1/3 of a lime into each class. Top with crushed ice and pour in the Lacroix.

wasabi 2

You now have the steak over mixed vegetables and two sides. The options to this are endless. Different steaks can be used as can chicken and possibly fix. The quinoa could be skipped for those eliminated carbs are controlling macros. Once again the only limit is the imagination.

 

We cooked this at the Hyvee in Sycamore Illinois. Follow us to find out when we will be back at Hyvee cooking again.

Carnival Squash Recipe-Eat by Color Style!

index This is carnival squash.  Probably the coolest looking of the squash….and yes the delicata is probably the best tasting.     What do you do with these things though?  Same as the rest of the squash.  Yes, their seeds are edible as well.

IMG_2894Ingredients:

1 Carnival Squash

1 TBS Butter

1 TBS Olive Oil

 

 

 

Wash the squash.  Cut and remove the seeds…save the seeds as you can bake and eat them too.  Melt butter in the microwave or better yet as the oven is warming to 350F set the butter in a bowl on top of the oven…it will melt in a hurry.  Mix the olive oil and butter.  Brush the oil and butter on to the squash.  Place the squash face down on a foil covered baking sheet.  Bake for 20-30 minute or until a fork can easily pierce the squash.  Remove from the oven and use a fork and spoon to remove the meat of the squash from the skin.  Done.  FYI my one year old LOVES this stuff and he ate most of it.

Garlic Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

You need to go low carb, but are craving the old fashioned meals, especially scratch made mashed potatoes (I can taste my grandma’s scratch made potatoes with small potato lumps and melted butter right now).  I saw this recipe and decided to try it, especially because I like cauliflower so much.  This is a GREAT alternative to the potato craving you may seek.  My husband even likes this; the one who is not all aboard with the “healthy alternatives”.  The best part, you only need 3 ingredients!

mashed potatoes 1

Ingredients:

1 large head cauliflower

1 32oz Chicken Broth (I use low sodium)

2 TBS minced garlic (equal to 4 garlic cloves)

Chives (optional)

 

Directions:

Separate the cauliflower into smaller pieces.  Put in a large stock pot.  Add your chicken broth.  If the broth does not cover the cauliflower pieces, add enough water to just cover the cauliflower.  Next, add in your garlic.

mashed potatoes 3

Turn on the stove to high/medium high and cover, letting the pot come to a slow boil.  Turn down the heat to medium/low medium, and let the cauliflower simmer for about 12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.  You may need to vent the lid to prevent over-boiling.  Drain in a strainer.  You may save some of the broth/water/garlic when you’re straining (about 2 TBS), but I’ve found that there’s enough moisture in the cauliflower that you do not need to save any of the liquid.

mashed potatoes 4

Let it cool in the strainer a bit.  Then put the cauliflower and garlic remains into your food processor.  At this time, you may add the liquid you saved.

mashed potatoes 5

Lock the lid, and turn your food processor on high for a few minutes.  You may need to stop it and swirl it around a bit in order to get it completely processed.  If you didn’t add your liquid yet, and you feel it’s too dry, you may add some of it now and mix again.

mashed potatoes 6

You may add chives to this if you feel like you need to.  Otherwise, enjoy as is!  This serves approx. 4-5 people with 1 cup servings.

Acorn Squash Recipe-Eat by Color Style!

IMG_2855IMG_2850

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first of a couple seasonal squash recipes.  There are a ton of things you can do with squash.  Best part, the whole thing is edible…even the seeds (seeds will be in their own post and recipe.)  Before we get to the acorn squash recipe.  How about taking a look at getting the family out of the house this fall and moving.

This is a great time of the year to get out with the family and have some seasonal fun.  Check out Johnson’s farm.  Corn maze, pumpkins, animals, gords, local, and affordable.   If you have kids, involve them!  Kids love being outdoors doing fun fall stuff.  Don’t stop there.  Get them involved in the kitchen.  My daughter helped make the squash in this recipe.  She learned how to prep and make the dish…and that food does not have to come out of a box or a bag.

 

Ingredients:

1-2 Acorn Squash

Olive Oil

Salt (Kosher, course is best)
Black Pepper

Garlic Salt

Parmesan Cheese

IMG_2857Wash the squash.  Cut in half length wise.  Then use a large spoon to remove the seeds.  Remember keep the seeds because you can eat those too.

Preheat oven to 400.   Baste top and bottom of the squash with olive oil.  I used one of those fancy basting brushes.

Place face down on foil covered cookie sheet.  Put cookie sheet into the oven for 25-40 minutes.  They are done when soft and a fork or knife can easily push into them.

IMG_2863

Remove from the oven.  Flip over.  Dust with salt, pepper, and parmesan.  Even the skin is edible.

 

IMG_2866

The finished product if you will.  If you like the skin eat it.  If not use your fork or spoon and spoon out the soft inside.  Note: Even the one year old enjoyed these at dinner.

Margherita Spaghetti Squash

If you are craving pasta or any type of noodle, but need to be eating vegetables, the spaghetti squash is your way of getting 2 in 1!  This recipe is a favorite at our house.  It’s a good way to feel like an Italian feast at your house.  Spaghetti squash is easy to bake so not a lot of ingredients are needed.  You can dress it up anyway you’d like.  The recipe used here is typical of what we do at our house:

Ingredients:

1 large Spaghetti Squash

1 TBS Olive Oil

1 Tomato, diced

Italian Seasoning

Shredded Parmesan Cheese

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cut the top off of the spaghetti squash.  squash 1

 

Then split the squash in half length wise.  You’ll need to scoop the seeds out of the squash before baking it.

squash 2

Once you’ve done that, place in a Pyrex dish, or any other oven safe pan.  Drizzle the olive oil inside the spaghetti squash.

squash 3

Before placing the dish in the oven to bake, you need to flip over the squash, so it’ll cook flat side down.

squash 4

Set the timer for 40 minutes.  After your time is up, take the squash out of the oven.  Flip it back over, and with a fork, string apart horizontally the strands of the squash.  It should be effortless.  If it’s still a little tough, stick it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes depending on toughness.  Once the squash has been stringed apart, leave it inside the shell for the next few steps.  Add in your diced tomato, Italian seasoning, and a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese.  Put the squash back in the oven for another 5 minutes to let the cheese melt and to warm up the tomatoes.  When time is up, take it out and let it rest for a few minutes to cool.

squash 5

Take as much as you’d like for your meal.  To complete the meal, I make turkey meatballs so it’s a full on Italian dish that follows Eat by Color.  Enjoy!

Baked Vegetables-Eat by Color Style!

If you’re looking for a new way to cook vegetables, this method is quick, easy, and DELICIOUS!  Baking vegetables in the oven gives them a different taste it seems without adding any seasoning to them.  My husband and I have been making this frequently and we go through half the pan in one meal!  We pile the veggies high though, so this could serve a family of 4 if you put your portions to 1/2 a cup.

Ingredients:

Vegetables of your liking (Broccoli, cauliflower, and baby carrots are featured in this photo)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Baked Veggies before

Directions:

Set your oven to 450 degrees.  Slice your selected veggies to bite size pieces, and place them on a cookie sheet (you may need to put a non-stick spray on depending on the coating of your cookie sheet).  Spread out the vegetables so they’re in a single layer.  Drizzle the olive oil over top of the vegetables (it doesn’t need to be coated).  Place in the oven and set the timer for 45 minutes.

I like to flip the veggies over half way through the cooking time so they cook more evenly, but it is not necessary.  If you want some heat, add a small amount of Red Pepper Flakes after baking.

Baked Veggies after

Easy Eat by Color Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

IMG_2742

Easy “Eat by Color” Parmesan crusted red potatoes are a great summer side.   These spuds, sausage, and a great side make for a very “Eat by Color” meal, in a short amount of time!

IMG_2734Red Potatos

Thyme

Parmesan Cheese

Garlic Salt

Salt

Olive Oil

Wash the potatoes.  In the interest of time and feeding an already really hungry framily…I nuked the potatoes for 6 minutes.  If time permits they could be cooked on the grill but be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait for them to be done.  Took them out, sliced them thin.  Put some olive oil in a cast iron frying pan and brought to heat.  I added the sliced potatoes, thyme (to taste or what looks like will taste great), dust with garlic salt and salt.  Sautee for a few minutes until the potatoes are soft and begin to take the hue of the oil.  Remove from heat and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on and toss with serving spoon.  Done in less than 15 minutes.

We hit Wiltse’s one of our local farmers markets.  They had great red potatoes, sweet corn, and a variety of peppers.   The tomatoes are from our garden.  We picked up a basket of the potatoes for a few dollars.

Here is what our entire meal looked like.

Mozzarella over tomatoes with oil and vinegar.

I was somewhat busy trying out new things on the family this weekend. This was a hit, even with a 6 year old who swore he hated cabbage! One bite and he was hooked!  Plus this is a great way to cut the carbs at dinner and in their place put some great Eat by Color vegetables!

UN~STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS

Cabbage is a superfood with lots of nutrients! Among many other health benefits, it is known for healing stomach ulcers and preventing cancer –especially colon cancer. It is a very alkaline forming food. Eat it often!

1 1/2 to 2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small cabbage, chopped
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring, until ground beef is no longer pink and onion is tender.
Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.

Add the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cabbage is tender.
