Adventure Begins in the Kitchen
When it comes to meat, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not all that adventurous with seasonings and cooking methods. This is in part due to perpetually being in some kind of hurry. But the reality is, it has mostly to do with how salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne just work.
Below are the instructions for my go-to chicken recipe for topping salads. And if you’re looking for additional simple recipes, check out this sautéed shrimp recipe and this broiled salmon recipe.

Although I rarely cook Mexican food, this chilaquiles recipe kind of set the stage for my cooking style. It was the first time I snuck shredded zucchini in a dish. And it was one of the first dishes that gave me the confidence to start playing around with modifications.
This time around, I modified by adding pulled chicken thigh meat and substituting regular corn tortillas with sprouted corn tortillas. And let me just tell ya, this was the best chilaquiles yet!

There’s something about cold weather that makes me crave the coziness of meaty red sauce. But it’s still January and I’m still in the constant process shedding the holiday fluff, so I got to thinking about a no-noodle alternative.
And since I’m always stuffing zucchini into meat dishes, why not change it up and stuff meat into a zucchini dish? And that’s how this recipe was born.

If I’m not cooking, Snap Kitchen is my 100% go-to for quick, healthy eats. I have regular favorites: salmon salad, turkey chili, veggie lasagna. But the one I just can’t seem to get enough of these days is the bison quinoa. Yep, bison!
After eating bison quinoa for lunches in a row, I thought “Hey! I can totally make this”. After all, the ingredients are pretty visible and hashes are pretty flexible.
I added some hot Italian sausage to get some extra grease to sauté the veggies in, but you could get by with using 1-1/2 lbs of ground bison in lieu of sausage. And leftover hash is perfect reheated and topped with an over medium egg.
