I have never been a fan of mayonnaise, so I studied several no-mayo egg salad recipes and came up with this version. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! INGREDIENTS 6 eggs (hard-boiled) 5 tbsp of sour cream 1 tbsp of Löwensenf Mustard (Dijon can be used as a substitute) 4 cornichons (…
Crockpot Lamb Stew
This is a quick and delicious meal. It’s quick to throw all the ingredients into a crockpot and come home to a delicious smelling dinner. This stew goes very well with some fresh baked bread or rolls and either a hearty dark beer or a glass of red wine. INGREDIENTS 1lb Lamb, diced 1 cup…
No Bake Low-Carb Cheesecake
I adapted this from several no-bake cheesecake recipes I found online. Feel free to substitute your favorite brand of sweetener (including sugar if you prefer). I personally use erythritol because it’s the only sugar substitute I am able to digest. INGREDIENTS 8 Oz. softened cream cheese (do not use the “whipped” kind, unless you want a…
Mashed Potato Pancakes
This is a great way to use up left-over mashed potatoes. These can be made sweet or savory, just by adding some additional salt, or adding sugar instead. For the savory version, they go great with left-over gravy or apple sauce. INGREDIENTS Mashed potatoes Eggs (about 1 egg per cup of mashed potatoes) Flour (about…
Key Lime Pie
My grandmother learned this recipe when she worked at a hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida back in the 1960s. It’s a fairly easy, no-bake recipe, but it takes quite a bit of patience. The big trick is to not mix the lime juice into the sweetened condensed milk too fast, or it will curdle. However,…
Rosemary Chicken
This is a healthier take on my grandmother’s recipe (she always used lots of butter and fully skinned/boned chicken). This is a very quick and simple dish that quick and easy to prepare, with lots of flavor. An alternative version would be to include slices of fresh lemon on the chicken. INGREDIENTS 4 Boneless Breasts of…
Spinach Lasagna
This is a healthier take on another classic dish. I’ve started working with the “no boil” lasagna noodles because I find it a lot easier to place them in the casserole dish than pre-cooked noodles. You can take this one step further and make your own marinara sauce, but I like to keep my recipes…
Sloppy Joes
This is a homemade take on an American classic, while still being quick and easy to make. This way you can ensure most of your ingredients are organic and control the amount of salt that is added as well, plus the fresh ingredients really perk up this old standard. INGREDIENTS 1 lb of ground beef…
Thyme-Rosemary Lambchops
This is probably my most requested dish from friends when they come over for dinner. The marinade really makes the flavor of the lamb, no matter which way you ultimately choose to cook them (grilled, pan-fried or oven baked). INGREDIENTS 2-3 Lamb Chops 4 Sprigs of fresh Rosemary (or 4Tsp dry) 4 Springs of fresh…
Mashed Potatoes
This recipe makes the best, creamiest, fluffiest mashed potatoes. It’s the way my grandmother always made them. The “secret” ingredient to making them taste extra delicious is the onion salt, although you can substitute with plain salt if you prefer INGREDIENTS 4 large russet potatoes 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half Unsalted Butter (to taste)…
