Smokey Beef Jerky

October 17, 2013 by Erica 24 Comments

Comfy Belly: Beef Jerky

I’m not much of a meat-eater—but when I’m shopping for it I seek out grass-fed beef. This may sound a bit elitist but I feel that I’m taking a stand for those who do enjoy beef, and a stand for the welfare of cows. And grass-fed beef is lean (and higher in good fats and …

You may be getting down to the wire on Passover or holiday menu planning, so I wanted to share a simple meal that I’m making, in case you’re still in search of ideas and recipes. (this recipe was originally written for Passover and spring holidays, but can be used any time!) I’ve always loved Mediterranean …

Meatballs Parmesan

April 26, 2010 by Erica 18 Comments

Meatballs Parmesan

Time for comfort food. What this recipe really represents is a meatball bar at my stove. I bake the meatballs, simmer the tomato sauce, shred cheese, steam broccoli, cut up some raw veggies (like cucumbers, carrots, snap peas, and red peppers), and we have dinner. It takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish. …

Picadillo {quick & easy}

March 8, 2009 by Erica 4 Comments

Picadillo

Picadillo is a quick and easy Cuban dish that traditionally uses ground beef, raisins, onions, olives, and tomatoes.  And here’s what I love about it…you can vary this however you want or use what you have on hand. You can use another ground protein source such as ground turkey or chicken, or even tofu, depending …
