Beef & Sweet Potato Hash

This is one of my favorite, “one dish” meals! It’s a healthy, and quick dinner option for this busy time of the year.IMG_5474

The original recipe can be found in FastPaleo Top 100 of 2012. I found it to be a bit to “meaty” for my taste, it called for 3 pounds of beef! I’ve revamped it to include more veggies, and less beef.

Enjoy!

Arugula Soup with Roasted Tomatoes and Salmon

IMG_5321Chilly, and rainy weather continues to make me crave soup! I’m so happy for the rain, and that this year it actually feels like fall 🙂

Searching for a new soup recipe to satisfy my craving, led me to this unique and tasty recipe at Vital Choice. It uses salmon, my favorite fish!

I really love the quality of fish, and other products at Vital Choice. I try to eat fish once a week, so I place a bulk order with them every six months.

Their Sockeye Salmon Nova Lox is amazing! And their canned Albacore Tuna is the best I’ve had. They use sustainable fishing practices, and regularly test their fish for contaminants and radiation.

I didn’t change much about this recipe except for reducing the serving size. I hope you enjoy this salmon soup recipe!

Hearty Beet Soup

P1050073I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with beets! If someone else prepares them in a salad or soup, I usually love them. If I prepare them, I usually hate them!

My only experience using beets that I made and enjoyed was when I juiced them.

Until now!!

I found a great, flavorful, beet soup recipe in my Straight from the Earth cookbook. This is a vegan cookbook I got as a gift. I made a few important changes, like not using the canola oil, that makes it more real food friendly 🙂

If you want to know more about why I avoid canola, and other vegetable oils, click here and here.

Okay now for the recipe!
