  • Melt butter in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium heat
  • When butter bubbles, pour eggs into center of pan
  • Using a rubber or flexible plastic spatula, gently lift edge of eggs and tilt pan to allow a small amount of liquid egg to pour under cooking egg (see video demonstration); REPEAT a few times to get all liquid from center

  • Gently fold half of egg over the side with chili

Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 10)
1 medium lime, juiced and zested
1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Turn the bag over a few times, or shake it gently, and completely coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, for 2 to 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a shallow, rimmed baking sheet with a silpat mat or non-stick aluminum foil, and place the chicken on top.

Classic Stuffed Peppers

by admin

Ingredients:
Makes 4-6 servings
5 bell peppers (mix/match colors!)
1 lb. grass-finished beef
1 large sweet onion, diced
8 oz. sliced and diced mushrooms
3 medium tomatoes, diced
3 oz. tomato paste
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 Tablespoon Sriracha (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the top of each bell pepper about one inch from the top and remove seeds in the center. Add the bell peppers in a boiling pot of water for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

In a large pan on medium heat, saute your chopped onions and mushrooms for roughly 5 minutes until browned. Add beef and stir until lightly browned, not fully cooked. Reduce heat to low and then add the minced garlic, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes, and stir thoroughly.

In a medium-sized baking dish, line up your peppers so they are standing upright. Fill in your bell peppers with the meat and vegetable mixture. Add 1/3 cup of water to the bottom of your baking dish. Place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes (or even longer depending on how tender you like your bell peppers). Enjoy!

Simple Savory Lamb Stew [video]

by drpaul

If you don’t like lamb (or don’t have any available), no problem – this recipe works perfect with beef as well. Also, don’t think you have to brown the meat and cook this on the stove in a stock pot – you could just as easily throw all the ingredients into a Crockpot and it will turn out perfect.


1-2 lbs of lamb stew meat (shoulder) (or beef), cut into small chunks
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2-3 potatoes, quartered
3-4 carrots, sliced or chopped (or could even grate and add at the very end)
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
2 cups organic chicken broth
2 tablespoons organic butter
Sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
1-2 teaspoons thyme (depending on whether you’re using 1 or 2 lbs of meat)
1 tablespoon marjoram
1/2 cup red wine – optional

  • Spread meat on cutting board and season with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • In medium stock pot, melt butter over medium heat – add meat and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring to brown on all sides
  • Add chopped onion, bell pepper, potatoes, cabbage and carrots (if carrots are shredded, withhold until 30 minutes before serving) – cook, stirring for 4-5 minutes
  • Add chicken broth
  • Add thyme, marjoram and more sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Add optional red wine
  • Reduce heat to low simmer and cover – cook for 1-2-3 hours
  • ALTERNATE METHOD: Place all ingredients into Crockpot, set on High for 4-5 hours or Low for 6-7 hours.

Baked Salmon Mediterranean

by admin

Any fish of your choosing can be substituted in this recipe.

1 4-6 oz. wild caught* salmon filet/steak per person
1 small jar of artichoke hearts (in water)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 medium leek, chopped
3 large cloves garlic, chopped finely
2-3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine (optional)

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet that has a cover.
  • Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and leek; cook for 4-6 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except olives and fish; cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour into 9×9 or 9×14 baking dish.
  • Add fish and olives. Cover with foil and cook 12-16 minutes, depending on thickness of fish (because fish is being put into a sauce that’s already hot, it will cook more quickly than putting it straight into the oven).

* No farm-raised  fish – they’re fed wrong, the water is polluted, and many farm-raised fish now even have coloring – yuck!
