Shredded Beef With Red Cabbage Slaw

July 28, 2014 by Kristin 1 Comment

Red Cabbage Slaw & Shredded Beef

You know those people who take forever to eat salads because they want a bit of every ingredient with each and every bite?  That’s me to a tee, which is why I can’t get enough of shredded meat lately.  It’s a totally lazy way to make sure you get some meat in every bite.

Red Cabbage Coleslaw

I crock potted up about 3 pounds of boneless chuck roast with 4 cups of water, 1 chopped onion, 3 chopped celery stalks, 3 sliced garlic cloves, and salt and pepper on low for about 8 hours.  And after shredding with two forks, I did something I hadn’t ever done before, and reduced the stock in a saucepan on high heat for about 20 minutes until it was thick and flavorful.  Game. Changer.

Shredded Beef

After the meat soaked up the bulk of the reduction, I spread a thin layer of it on a plate and topped with a heaping scoop of red cabbage slaw.  And that slaw… was really the highlight of this meal.

I used a mandolin slicer to achieve super thin and delicate slices of cabbage.  Then added mild veggies, cilantro, citrus, and homemade mayo to create a light slaw that’s perfect for summer {especially a Texas summer}.  I’m so looking forward to coming home to these leftovers tomorrow!

Pan-Seared Radishes & Greens

May 15, 2014 by Kristin Leave a Comment

Pan Roasted Radish and Greens

I’ve been trying to make this salad for weeks, but plans kept getting in the way and ingredients continued to go bad.  But tonight, I was determined.  I walked to Whole Foods {stopping at Anthropologie on the way…} and picked up radishes and spinach.

Poached Figs

I hadn’t cooked much with any of the ingredients in this salad.  And I had certainly never considered using radish greens or soaking sliced dates in boiling water.

Radishes

But even though all of the ingredients were unusual for my kitchen, I was excited to see how they all would work together to become my dinner.

Pan Roasted Radishes

It was no surprise that I dug the salty, tart, sweet that came with the nuts, olives, balsamic, and figs.  But what was a surprise was how much I enjoyed sautéed radishes and how they did, in fact, taste much like turnips.

Check out one of my favorite turnip recipes here!

Fancy, Huh?

August 8, 2012 by Kristin 5 Comments

My super simple broil-everything-and-call-it-a-night-dinner turned out much fancier than one could have ever anticipated.  I prepped the salmon and sunburst tomatoes the same by spraying lightly with olive oil and sprinkling with seasoning.  And while they were busy broiling on high, I got to work on something new.

Balsamic reduction, anyone?  I suppose that’s where the fancy came into play.  But really it required much too little effort to be considered fancy in any way, shape, or form.  I brought 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of ponzu sauce to a boil and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.  Little to no stirring was required.  I was shocked.

I placed the salmon, tomatoes, and walnuts on a big bed of baby spinach and generously drizzled the room temperature balsamic reduction over everything.  If I had guests over for dinner, I assure you they would have been impressed!

It Really Is Perfect

January 19, 2012 by Kristin 1 Comment

I stumbled upon this salad recipe a couple weeks ago and couldn’t wait to try it.  And considering that I use Jenna’s pizza dough recipe on the regular, I trusted that this recipe would also taste every bit as good as it looked.

I remember tasting tahini the first time I made hummus and thinking… Ew.  But each batch of homemade hummus was accompanied by another tahini tasting, followed by an increased liking of the used-to-be-strange-to-me taste.  Now I find myself sticking my spoon in the tahini jar a little more frequently than the peanut butter jar.  Weird?  Possibly.

And mixing tahini love with sriracha obsession?  Bomb.com

This salad was simple enough to throw together during a weekday lunch, but complex enough to leave you wanting for nothing.  I had never (knowingly) tasted white balsamic before and was so pleased with how well the vinegar flavored without overpowering the other awesomeness this plate had to offer.  I’ll be making this salad again and again and again.  That’s a promise!

🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COV 🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COVID, buying/renovating a house, and Ez hating the car, we've stayed put. But with the newness of our neighborhood wearing off and going on 6 months of the same old stuff, we all needed a change of scenery. And quickly after arrival, I already had a list of #dosanddonts in mind for future #staycations 🙈🤓 Below are a few less-than-pro tips from our weekend. I'd love for you to share any ideas or experiences in the comments below! And if you have any recs for hotels within an hour-ish from Austin, let me know! ❤️❤️

🔆🔆🔆DO🔆🔆🔆
🔸Choose a property with hotel room doors that open to the outdoors. It was such a relief staying at a place where we could minimize touching public surfaces. 
🔸Stay in a place that is closed to the public and requires reservations for amenities. I loved being able to make reservations for the pool area and being able to keep our distance from other guests. It was stressful that the time slots we wanted were full on the first day, but it ended up working out both days. 
🔸Stay in a place that has green space. Nobody wants to stay couped up in a hotel room, so having access to nature or a grassy area is hugely helpful. 
🔸 Stay in a place that has on-site/flexible food options or is in a good delivery zone. I liked that the staff here was more than willing to bring our food out to an empty pavilion by the lawn near our room.
🔸Give extra smiles and tip generously if you're able. Many hospitality employees have been out of work and/or have reduced tips/income based on establishments operating at lower capacities. Extra tips and being friendly go a long way!

🔆🔆🔆DON'T🔆🔆🔆
🔸Visit a densely populated area. Shame on me for thinking #thedomain would be a safe place to visit, but it wasn't. Within the limits of our hotel was fine, but as soon as we walked near other businesses we could see packed patios, crowded sidewalks, and more unmasked people than I've seen since early March. Our next #minivacay will be more secluded. 
🔸Ok other than doing the opposite of the DO list, I only have one DON'T 👆🏻👆🏻

And I shouldn't have to say this, but our hotel stay/meals were #notsponsored ✌🏻

Nominated by @atxfitfoodie & @ambermcho - two of the most supportive women I know 🤍🖤

A long time friend of mine (@katiewyattreynolds , another strong and supportive woman) shared a post about how this challenge is "basically useless and self serving". I'm not calling her out, it just got me thinking. I also sent her a text nomination. Hugs, KT 🤗

Basically useless is super objective. What's useless to one might be inspirational to another, no? Do women inherently find self promotion challenging? I think so (I do 🙋🏻‍♀️). I saw this challenge as a gentle nudge to let a woman know that you're thinking about her, you see her, and you acknowledge her challenges (both seen and unseen). 2020 is ROUGH. Seeing these messages felt like a hug in a time when hugs aren't allowed. 

Is this challenge self serving? I'm not sure, but so what if it is? This self needs to be served from time to time - putting everything else first all the time can't be good for ya, right? 😉

As a mother, I am fearful of so many things. But I will never understand the fear held deeply within a mother of a Black child. ⠀
My husband and I are listening. And we will continue to hear your stories beyond next week, next month, next year. Because in trying to understand your experiences, we will be able to raise our children better than with our experiences alone. They, too, will be allies because we will do the work. We will not be silent today, next week, next month, next year. ⠀
