Mexican Layered Casserole

Olive oil kale chips

  There are lots of kale chips recipes out there.  This is the basic one I use.  If you like the flavor of kale, you’ll like these chips.  If you’re looking to mask it’s green Earthy flavor a bit, you should probably look for a recipe that has a more cheesy coating (usually the best ones involve cashews and nutritional yeast).     Ingredients: kale olive oil salt Directions: Wash, de-stem and tear kale into pieces.  Put the kale into a big mixing bowl and add olive oil and salt.  Massage the kale with your hands… Read more >

Nacho salad

If you have good ingredients in a salad, you don’t even need dressing.   Bottom layer: tortilla chips (if you can find flavored ones, do it)   The Better Chip makes four different flavored tortilla chips that are gluten free and non GMO.  My favorite is the red pepper & salsa fresca – it tastes spicy and salty and fresh – so good!  Kyle loves the sweet onion (it has white cheddar so it’s not lactose free).  Middle layers: veggies (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, corn, avocado)   The avocado is key in this layer, so don’t… Read more >

Noodles with the works

  This is the easiest meal of all.  I make it at least once a week.  It’s flexible depending on what you have on hand, but as long as you have some kind of past in your pantry and some kind of fresh/frozen veggies, you’re set. Boil water.  Cook pasta.  Drain pasta, saving a little of the water.  Add olive oil (a few [or more] glugs).  Add fresh/frozen veggies.  Toss into the pasta and let them cook.  If you add tomatoes, wait until they pop.  Add herbs (optional but recommended) like basil, parsley, etc.  Add… Read more >

Two ingredient pancakes

I got a few questions about the two ingredient pancakes I showed last week, so I thought I’d just answer them in one place.   I’m definitely not the creator of this “recipe” (if you can call it that?).  I don’t know where it originated exactly.  To be honest, knowing it was made of just bananas and eggs, I was skeptical that it would (a) turn out & (b) taste good. For the record, it definitely isn’t as good as a normal pancake, but the fact that it’s faster and easier to make than most… Read more >
