Garlic Mushrooms Cauliflower 🔥🔥🔥

This garlic butter mushrooms and cauliflower skillet requires minimal ingredients and is ready in no time. If you are trying to eat low carb, this simple mushroom and cauliflower recipe is the perfect base for your lunches and dinners. Enjoy!

Ingredients;
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or ghee)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 pound mushrooms, cleaned
2 tablespoons low sodium vegetable stock
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions;
1. Heat the butter and oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion until softened (about 3 minutes).

2. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes on all sides. Make sure the mushrooms render as much moisture as possible. Brown them a little more if necessary, to avoid the side dish becoming soggy at the end. Keep an eye on it so they don’t burn either ;)

3. Once mushrooms are well browned, add cauliflower florets. Cook until golden and crispy on the edges, about 8-10 minutes. Veggies must be well browned.

4. Pour in the vegetable stock and cook for 2 minutes, to reduce the sauce slightly.

5. Add thyme, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and garlic. Cook the mushrooms and cauliflower for half a minute, until fragrant. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and serve the garlic butter mushrooms and cauliflower skillet immediately. Enjoy!

Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
1 tablespoon steak seasoning
4 medium zucchini, spiralized

2+2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Sriracha)
Salt and fresh cracked pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Juice of 1/2 lemon + lemon slices, for garnish

Directions;

1. Add ground beef to a medium bowl, breaking it up as you do. Sprinkle with steak seasoning, red chili pepper flakes, fresh cracked black pepper, half of the minced garlic and parsley. Mix with a fork or by hand until the ingredients are just combined.

2. Divide the seasoned ground beef into 6 even portions and form into round patties. Top half of beef patties with a slice of cheese and arrange another beef puck on top to make the “sandwich”.

3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties 5 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on the desired doneness. While cooking, baste the beef with the mix of butter and juices. Remove to a clean plate and set aside.

4. In the same skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter; then add remaining garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

5. Stir in the fresh parsley, then add the zucchini noodles and toss for two to three minutes to cook it up. Allow the cooking juices to reduce for one minute if the zucchini renders too much water. Push zucchini on one side of the skillet and add the beef patties back to the pan and reheat for a minute or two. Serve immediately, Enjoy!

Smoked Meatloaf 🔥🔥🔥

Move over, bland oven-baked bricks! Tonight, we’re taking meatloaf to new heights (or should I say, depths?) of flavor with the magic of smoked meatloaf. Forget dry, crumbly disappointments - this is a juicy, smoky masterpiece that’ll have your taste buds doing the tango.

Why smoke your meatloaf?

Flavor infusion: That smoky kiss from the wood adds a whole new dimension of depth and complexity. It’s like your regular meatloaf got a bad-ass makeover and learned to play the blues guitar.

Moist and tender: Low and slow smoking keeps the juices locked in, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’ll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about meatloaf.

Versatility is king: You can play with different ground meats, spices, and glazes to create infinite flavor combinations. Think smoky BBQ, sweet and spicy Asian, or a classic herb-infused masterpiece.

Ready to get smokin’? Here’s your roadmap:

Mix it up: Combine your favorite ground meats, breadcrumbs, veggies, and seasonings. Don’t be afraid to get creative – this is your flavor canvas!

Shape it up: Pack the mixture into a loaf pan or form it freehand on the smoker grate.

Smoke it up: Fill your smoker with your favorite wood (I used Savory BBQ pellets) and set it to 225-250°F. Let that smoky goodness work its magic for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Glaze it up: Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce or glaze in the last hour of smoking for an extra layer of flavor and shine.

Rest and conquer: Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Trust me, the juices will thank you.

So ditch the ordinary and embrace the smoke! This smoked meatloaf is guaranteed to become your new go-to comfort food, the star of your next potluck, and the legend of your backyard BBQs.

Turkey Croque-Monsieur 🔥🔥🔥

I always look forward to the leftovers. What's your plan with them leftovers?

Croque Monsieur is a delicious French sandwich typically made with gruyere, parmesan, ham and a simple béchamel sauce, toasted in the oven.

Because it's the day after thanksgiving I went with leftover Turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potato's and gravy. I used the traditional gruyere cheese and béchamel sauce.

I started with sourdough bread. I spread on cranberry sauce, topped with gruyere cheese and torched until melted. I then placed turkey and dressed with gravy and added more cheese. I spread mash potato's on the top slice and crowned.
I grilled the sandwich in butter on the stove. I then placed on a cookie sheet and poured béchamel sauce over the top and added more gruyere cheese. Put under the broiler for about five minutes

Japanese-Style Risotto with Seared Salmon 🔥🔥

Savory, delicious and super flavorful. Imagine perfectly flaky glazed salmon piled over a miso flavored shiitake risotto. Made with simple ingredients and ready in about 40 minutes.

A perfect dish to transform your dinner into a next-level flavor bomb!

Japanese-Style Risotto,

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
10.5 oz shiitakes, torn into pieces
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 small brown onion, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 garlic, minced
1 cup rice, sushi or Arborio
¼ cup dry white wine, or sake
5 cups hot chicken broth
1 tbsp white miso or soy paste

Instructions,

Start by seasoning the salmon fillets. I used Asian seasoning.

In the meantime, tear the shiitakes into small pieces, finely dice the celery stalk, mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil over high in a heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Add shiitakes and cook until they release their moisture. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook until they start to brown. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from skillet.

Reduce heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon oil. Then add the celery, onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.

Add 2 ladles chicken broth at a time, stirring frequently, until the broth has been almost completely absorbed before adding the next 2 ladles. Cook until the rice is almost al dente, about 15 minutes. It's possible that you don't need to use up all of the broth. Stir in shiitakes. Dissolve miso with 2 tablespoons hot broth and add to risotto. Simmer about 5 minutes until the risotto is ready, add more broth if needed.

In the meantime, prepare the salmon. Heat 1 tbs oil and 1 tbs butter over medium high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon and sear 3-4 minutes per side. Glaze with your favorite sauce, I used Japanese barbecue sauce.

Serve salmon over risotto, top with black pepper, parsley and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
