Tacos for everyone

A taco bar is the easiest way to feed a picky crowd.  Anybody on any diet can find a good way to eat.

Eggs with liver and onions

I'm afraid to eat conventional organ meats in the US what with how we feed and inject our animals, so I'm taking the opportunity to nom nom on them in Italy.  So cheap, so good, chock full of

minerals.  And as always, I do enjoy eating my food in a sea of oil.

Zucchini boats with ground beef

1 lb grass fed grass finished 15% fat ground beef
3 large zucchini
onions
garlic
coconut oil
2 eggs
ground hemp
oregano
thyme
pepper
paprika

These huge cheap zucchini were smiling at me at the Farmers Market. I eat about 1/3 lb of meat per meal, so three large zucchini boats makes for perfect portioning.

Carefully use a knife and spoon to scoop out the zucchini halves. I saved the flesh to cook up in my eggs tomorrow morning.



Cook the onions and garlic in the coconut oil until soft, then add the meat until just brown. Season this mixture heavily with oregano, thyme, pepper and paprika because the zucchini are not seasoned.

Remove this mixture from heat and let it cool off completely before adding two eggs and some ground hemp. Gently mix and spoon into your zucchini. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Beef stew with u choi

I feel comfortable leaving a pot in the oven on low during my training up the street. Browned grass fed stew pieces in grapeseed oil, removed from heat, cooked onions and garlic. Varied textures from long cooked u choi and Southern greens in butter cooked fresh while the soup heated. Vary your veggies too.

Top Sirloin with Red Cabbage and Chinese Broccoli

I bought a large top sirloin steak from Rocky Valley (the "farmer to you beef" people at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market). I've never been quite this successful with top sirloin before - look at all that juice! All I did was throw it in a hot stainless steel pan until it charred up, sprinkled on some chimichurri. I had it with buttery red cabbage and Chinese broccoli.

Indonesian Meatballs

I had another go at Charmaine Solomon's Rempah-Rempah (Indonesian meatballs), leaving out the coconut this time. I fried them in grapeseed oil and they came out subtle and tender.

3 parts ground beef
2 parts ground lamb
2 eggs
yellow onion
garlic
fresh grated ginger
black pepper
turmeric
cumin
ras el hanout

I beat the spices in with the eggs before mixing with the meat.


Since I had a lot to do this weekend, I tried not to spend too much time on my chicken. Sliced red onion and a fresh squeezed orange with some pepper made a lot of lovely juice, which I enjoy because I microwave the food with veggies for lunch at work.

Easy Soup - Fennel Beef with Yellow Squash

Brown your meat in hot olive oil with a little butter, season it up, pull it out. Grass fed grass finished beef.


Scraping up bits, sautee your onions garlic fennel bulb, cored and sliced, and celery.



Add the rest of your vegetables, go nuts here, tomato, broth, water, bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. Gets better the next day.
