Spicy Pepperoncini Beef recipe and cookbook review: No Crumbs Left by Teri Turner

by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in cookbook, healthy, recipe, Whole30

Re-blogging this from my old archived blog because I make it so often. Hope you love it as much as I do. Making it again tomorrow night. I need to calculate the macros…

I found the foodie’s Whole30-ish book! No Crumbs Left (Amazon affiliate link. Earns commission) is such a delicious, beautiful, and interesting one! A lot of the recipes follow the Whole30 rules. You’ll see labels along the margin for Whole30, gluten-fee, dairy-free, paleo, and grain-free. Many have all of those. Melissa Hartwig and Michelle Tam compare Teri Turner’s food skills to Julia Child. I found myself wanting to try almost everything in the book, especially the super healthy ones. If you’re looking for really nourishing dishes with total foodies in mind, I think you’ll love it! She’s a strong flavorist!

There are a few base recipes that she makes at the front of the book that are ready-to-go ingredients in other recipes, like marinated red onions, garlic confit, and tomato confit. Yeah, they’re totally worth it.

I’ll tell you all about the dishes we tried, but first I wanted to share a fabulous recipe from the book, Spicy Pepperoncini Beef. Sweet and hot peppers with garlic, onions, and basil. It tastes phenomenal, yet it’s weeknight easy-breezy, and super good for you. Perfect!

What’s the deal with macros? Jen’s Protein Nice Creams

by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in cookbook, cookbook review, Dessert, fitness, foodie, healthy, produce

Some people pick up my high-protein ice cream books because Jen’s protein nice creams are stupid delicious? Some love them because they’re flippin lickable but way healthier than traditional ice cream! And some smile that it tastes like that, but they’re loving the macros. Macros included. What does that mean?

I love the new Milk Street 365! It’s a huge book of International recipes. The beauty of Milk Street is that they deliver all the flavor, but in the easiest way possible. Delicious minimalism. Totally appropriate for everyone from the kitchen newbie to the well-seasoned foodie! Did you pick up a copy yet?

Disney’s Festival of the Arts

by bernard.guerrero, posted in American, art, entertainment

I just turned 50 in January, and my hubby did back in August when travel was right out, so we headed to Disney last week for a big celebration. 8 glorious days. Two in each park. Perfect! We didn’t realize the Festival of the Arts was going on at Epcot! Even better! There are little stands scattered throughout the World Showcase that generally have 2 entrees, a couple of beverages and a dessert. They are little taster plates and mostly in the $6-$10 range, so you can have fabulous bites around the world, kind of like global tapas. We had a fantastic time. Let me tell you all about it!
