Halibut Vermicilli Bowls for dinner tonight. I seared the @virgin_bay_seafood Alaskan halibut in garlic and butter in a cast iron skillet, then broiled it for about 4 minutes and squeezed a little lime juice over the top. To make the sauce, I combined garlic, ginger, brown sugar, fish sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, red pepper flakes and jalapeño. I served it with roasted portabella and asparagus, fresh cucumber and jalapeño, and garnished with basil and cilantro. I’m trying to minimize my carbs, so instead of vermicelli, I substituted power greens💪🏼 .

Tonight my 5 year-old said he wanted “breakfast dinner”, so that’s what he got. I made a frittata with 8 eggs, leftover roasted @whitesquirrelfarm sweet potato (AMAZING), kale, and queso fresco (because that’s what kind of cheese I had). The frittata method I use is pretty much the same no matter what. I whisk the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Then I add butter to a cast iron skillet (set on low) and add in the eggs once it’s melted. I add in my cooked veggies and chopped raw greens. Once the eggs start to set around the edges, but still have a runny center, I move it a 375 degree oven for 5 minutes. Then I add some cheese to the top and broil it until the cheese is melted and bubbly. I cut it with a pizza cutter and called it breakfast pizza and my boys gobbled it up. We had ours with a @whitesquirrelfarm spinach salad with fresh radishes and turnips and dressed with lemon/orange juice and olive oil. My husband said they were the best greens he’s ever had. 🙌🏻 .

My contribution to Thanksgiving this year. I’m always thankful for a big board and good company! Pickles by @mandakate516 📸 @missushala #boards #foodboards #charcuterieboard #feedthemwell #thanksgiving #cheeseboard #nocookdinner

My kids love a snack board, and that’s exactly what they got for dinner tonight. I gave them some leftover pasta and kale salad, frozen peas (they like them frozen 🤷🏼‍♀️), kiwi, carrot, bell pepper, grilled cheese (pita), raisins, and cheeses + fermented granola and hummus from @fermentedfarmer. Easy and delicious! 👏

Soba Bowls w/ Garlic Miso Shrimp and Seared Bok Choy. I marinated the shrimp in a combo of white miso paste, grated garlic and ginger, rice vinegar, lime juice, and honey, then cooked them in a very hot wok coated with sesame oil. For the delicious @whitesquirrelfarm bok choy, I heated some garlic and added the halved bok choy, seared it on each side for about 2 minutes, and squeezed fresh lemon juice over the top as soon as I took it out of the pan. (Cook in batches so you don’t crowd the pan.) I tossed the soba in a sauce of sesame oil, chili paste, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. I added some fresh @whitesquirrelfarm jalapeño and cucumber to the assembled bowls and garnished with a little cilantro. The salad is the most amazing @whitesquirrelfarm arugula dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a tiny drizzle of ginger dressing.

Kohlrabi Apple Slaw: Slice kohlrabi and apple into matchsticks, dice a Serrano pepper, and finely chop a little kale and cilantro. I made an easy dressing of the juice of a lime, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and salt and pepper. I combined it all together, then let it marry in the fridge while I finished the butternut squash and black bean tacos. The squash, kale, kohlrabi, and Serrano were delicious and from my favorite local farmer @whitesquirrelfarm. Thanks for introducing us to kohlrabi, Farmers Chris and Tracy!

My sons have birthdays 7 days apart and Halloween is right in the middle of that week. Needless to say, we celebrate for a month. Tonight we had quinoa/English pea/sweet potato stuffed bell pepper jack o’ lanterns, mashed black bean spider with green bean legs and edamame eyes, and green (kale) witch finger cookies with blackberry jam (blood) and slivered almond fingernails. My kids were too grossed out at the sight of the witch fingers to try them 😂, but everything else was a hit! This meal took about 30 minutes to prepare. Fast and fun! 🎃#halloweendinner #vegetarian #scarymeal #themeddinner #feedthemwell #eatwholefood #eatrealfood

I’ve been loving halibut lately and recently made it two different ways. Tonight I pan seared it and made a lemon/butter/garlic/caper sauce. I served it with roasted veggies and saffron rice. Last week I broiled it and served it over puréed sweet potatoes and sautéed Bok Choy. Both were a hit and took under an hour to cook. #pescatarian #eatwholefood #eatrealfood #weeknightdinner #speedyrecipes #tiredmom #feedthemwell #familydinner

My version of takeout takes no time at all. I made shrimp soba bowls for dinner tonight and it was ready in 20 minutes. While the noodles boiled, I sautéed summer squash, zucchini, and steamed broccoli (leftover from lunch) in ghee, tamari, and lime juice. Then I threw the lightly seasoned shrimp in and cooked until pink. I tossed the soba in a sauce of tamari, fish sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, chili paste, and sesame oil. I garnished the bowl with a bit of chili paste and cilantro and served with chopsticks. #asiantakeout #homemadetakeout #sobabowl #pescatarian #eatrealfood #eatwholefoods #feedthemwell #backtoschool #weeknightdinner
