Danielle’s Digest: Week of 7/17/16

[ssba]

Happy Friday everyone! Here's our week in review. I'm sharing lots of what we ate, plus a fun new cooking video with Asher. Enjoy your weekend!

Only_this_guy_would_make_an_intense_spreadsheetOnly this guy would make an intense spreadsheet to figure out his best commute times for his new job in Silicon Valley in order to maximize time with us ? We are sure going to miss him after being fortunate enough to have him work with me part-time and from home part-time for the last 2 years, but I am so proud of him!

Proud_of_my_friendsI'm so proud of my friends from Primal Palate and all of their great spices they keep putting out! This is their new pack of blends. Easton likes the seafood seasoning on his ground chicken that I give him. And their are breakfast blend and adobo are my favorites.

1It's not that pretty, but I made the crockpot Sesame Orange Chicken from my first book, Against all Grain, on the stovetop instead. I sautéed the chicken first in a little ghee, then transferred it to a plate, discarded the liquid, and wiped out the pan. Threw all of the sauce ingredients into the skillet and let it simmer until it was thickened, about 15 minutes. I also added orange zest for a little more flavor. Then tossed the chicken back in and simmered everything for 5 minutes. Not quite as good as the slow cooker but great when you're short on time!

2I make a few pounds of this honey mustard chicken and keep it in the fridge for salads throughout the week. I'm going to add the chicken recipe to my Cookery App soon!

3On my way to the Bar Method ….??? Needed a little quick “protein.” Have you tried my Real Deal Chocolate Chip Cookies?

We love Saturdays, walks, and farmer's markets. Easton is hiding under there somewhere ?

5

I made some grilled veggies with a basil vinaigrette (all from our garden! ??)

6Weekend pancakes are a staple in our home. This is a new recipe from my upcoming Celebrations Cookbook, but there's a great pancake mix in Meals Made Simple if you have that book!

I added some apricots to my Grain-free blueberry galette last night for dinner with friends. ? You can watch me make the recipe here!

Asher and I made the Hidden Veggie Muffins from page 194 of my Against all Grain cookbook today on Facebook Live! You can still watch it even if you didn't catch it live. Click here to hear my tips about bakeware, grain-free ingredients, simplifying the process, and the special ingredients we added today.

UntitledAsher answered some questions from the audience today and one was what his favorite veggie was. Snow peas…. And salt. ? Watch the whole video by clicking the photo above of HERE.
