My Cooking Show

❄️There’s a heckuva lot of sleet/freezing rain on top of snow outside. Definitely a day to be inside in my sweats and slippers. I hereby declare today a guilt-free lazy day! Who’s with me? 😀🐕 . . . @umgrizzlies #lazyday #stayinside #restday #ilovemontana

My daughter is going to kill me for this post. 😆 She is a rowing coxswain, and as her mum, I’ve picked up a bit of the lingo, which I am (most likely) about to butcher. (Sorry, rowers!!!) I’ve been thinking about the state of the world lately. We’re all weary, and every person I know is carrying some sort of burden. Let’s acknowledge that, and give grace to everyone. But about this lingo… These are 2 commands a coxswain will give her boat. The first, “weigh enough” (no it’s NOT a command to lose weight), means to stop whatever you’re doing. It could mean to stop rowing, or when carrying a boat, to stop walking because you are about to run into something. The second command, “check it down,” means to stick those oars into the water, perpendicularly. This is like a pilot putting the flaps down to stop the plane. It stops the momentum of the boat. (Have I got it right so far, rowers? Please do not hate me.) Now back to us. We’re tired. Some of us are sick. We go to the grocery store, pretending that everything is normal when some shelves are empty. Ok, if that’s not you, then it’s ME. I’m tired. Stressed. The world feels off its axis. I plan to “weigh enough and check it down” this weekend. We’re due for a big ol’ winter storm, so I’m going to eat soup, play cribbage with Hubs, read, and nap. What about YOU? You gonna check it down…? 🙂 Whatever the case, I’m wishing you easier breathing this weekend. And grace - for yourself and others. 💗, Wendi . . . #rowing #coxswain #healing #healingjourney #autoimmunedisease #autoimmuneprotocol #stressreduction #bekindtoyourself #positivity #positivevibes #takecareofyourself #grace #givegrace #bekind

🌟NEW on the blog!!! 🌟 Just in case you will be trapped inside this weekend due to winter weather, here’s a recipe for you to try: Banh Mi Bowls! 😀 It takes a while to make, but ohhhh the FLAVOR! Lime, mint, cilantro, lemon grass, horseradish, pickled carrots and daikon radish, slow cooked pork… you get the idea. It’s DELICIOUS. I’ve got a live ink-lay in my io-bay for you. I hope you enjoy making this as much as eating it. It’s a project, y’all! 😆 Stay warm, my friends!!! ❄️😁❄️ . . . #banhmi #porkrecipes #glutenfree #glutenfreedairyfree #allergyfriendly #autoimmuneprotocol #aiprecipes #paleorecipes

🥣 French Onion Soup (w/optional crostini)! It’s what’s for dinner at my house tonight. It’s a bit nippy outside, and this soup will hit the spot. 🤤 Hubs baked some homemade ciabatta right in front of my gluten-free face (the big meanie) so he’ll have that on top with melty provolone cheese. I will stare longingly at his. 😭 Mine will be delicious, though, and won’t hurt my tummy! Yay! 😀 I adapted a recipe I have from a French cookbook, so this is as authentic as I can be and still be AIP. Want?

🍲Chili!!! Yes, it is 💯% AIP and Paleo. This is a no-nightshade chili with flavor and texture much like the real thing, but without the inflammatory components. You make it with tender chunks of chuck. And the bean stand-in? Believe it or not… chayote squash! Turns out that they give a texture of beans when cooked! Who knew? 🤯 This recipe is in my mini e-cookbook, Simply Flavorful (only $6.97!), a book of main dishes that can be made from things foraged from the grocery store.
