Spring Cabbage salad

This recipe is a terrific alternative to green-leaf salads. It pairs well with rice dishes and can be served topped with shredded chicken or with a bowl of soup. It is filling and has few calories. I like to use savoy, Napa or green cabbages for this recipe. I like to add a few handfuls of shredded collards for a powerful boost of vitamin K and A, calcium and antioxidants.

Ingredients

4-6 cups spring or seasonal cabbage and/or collard greens, cut into ribbons or shredded
4 scallions, trimmed and chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped, about 2 cups
1/3 cup Basic Dressing
2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and serve.

Notes

Cabbages can be confusing. They are classified according to the season during which they are harvested, their appearance, or their geographic origin. Spring cabbages or collard greens (their Witness Protection Program name) are loosely packed, oval-shaped forms of kale or wild cabbage. If you guessed they are harvested in spring⁠—give yourself a big helping of your favorite.

Chicken with olives, lemons, and herbs.⁠ This dish is PERFECT for an easy #sundaydinner⁠
⁠
This is one of my favorite ways to serve chicken. The flavors of this dish are a little bit French and a little bit Italian. The Castelvetrano olives are vibrant green and have a buttery, mild flavor and meaty texture. They pair beautifully with the fresh herbs, lemon, and golden brown chicken. Serve a crisp green salad alongside for the perfect and relatively healthy meal.⁠

Beef Bourguignon⁠
My dad use to make a version of this dish several times a year. The main difference between American beef stew and this quintessentially French dish is the large amount of red wine used to create its rich, savory depth of flavor. Be sure to serve it with a warm, crusty baguette and a good red wine. Link to recipe in the bio or go to www.verysmartideas.com for more recipes like this one! ⁠

Zucchini Noodles with Peanut Sauce-Low Carb!
Who doesn’t love peanut butter? It is even better when mixed with Asian flavors. I like to use zucchini because I can make wider “noodles”, its delicate flavor and I love how the sauce clings to every nook and crany! This recipe is a keeper!

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis, skin removed and shaved using a vegetable peeler.
1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter about 1 heaping tablespoon
1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari
2 teaspoons fish sauce
filtered water to thin sauce
2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated, or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped
Chopped cilantro for garnish, optional

Directions:

Start by peeling the zucchinis and discarding the skin. Shave the zucchini into long ribbons. If you hit seeds, time to start the next zucchini. Pop the ribbons into a medium to large bowl.

Mix the peanut butter with a tablespoon or two of warm filtered water and stir.

Add the soy sauce or tamari, the fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and stir. If the mixture is still too thick, add a small amount of the warm filtered water to thin until it reaches a semi-pourable consistency.

Pour the sauce into the bowl with the zucchini and mix well.

Top with chopped peanuts and a sprinkle of cilantro, if using.

Fish Chowder. Just in time for Lent⁠!
This Fish Chowder is less traditional because it is made without dairy.⁠
It is simply cod, a base of clam juice, stock of choice, and fresh vegetables. The key to perfect fish chowder is poaching the fish gently so it perfectly flakes apart. This dish had a wonderful flavor from the onions, spices, and herbs. And if you’d like, add a quarter cup of cream at the end and stir, if that’s your jam. Serve with warm, crusty bread. ⁠
⁠
Ingredients⁠
⁠
6 slices chopped bacon, cooked⁠
1 small, white onion, about 1 cup, diced⁠
1 small carrot, about 1/2 cup, diced ⁠
1 medium stalk celery, about 1/2 cup, diced⁠
1- 8-ounce bottles clam juice⁠
16 ounces baby yellow potatoes⁠
4-6 oz pieces cod⁠
6 cups vegetable, fish, or chicken stock⁠
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped⁠
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled ⁠
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper⁠
Chopped chives or parsley, for garnish, optional⁠
⁠
Directions ⁠
⁠
Cook bacon in Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. ⁠
⁠
Turn heat to medium, add onions, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes. ⁠
⁠
Add clam juice, potatoes, stock thyme, and saffron. Bring to boil; reduce heat to a low boil, cover, but leave the lid, slightly ajar to allow for steam to escape. Simmer until potatoes are just tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. ⁠
⁠
Taste of chowder and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the cooked bacon. ⁠
⁠
Sprinkle cod with salt and pepper; place on top of the chowder and gently push into the liquid, cover, and cook for 5 minutes to poach.⁠
⁠
Uncover the chowder, and stir slightly, breaking the fish into pieces.⁠
⁠
Garnish with chives or parsley, optional, and serve with warm, crusty bread.⁠

Perfect boiled potatoes every time
Start the potatoes in cold, salted water because cold water helps keep the skins intact and it holds moisture in. Boil the potatoes until they’re tender. Insert a knife into the middle of the potato, if the knife slides easily out there are finished. If not, boil just a minute or two longer and until tender. Remove them from the boiling water as they finish.

The most important thing to remember is to use cold water to start and not boiling water. Boiling water cooks the outside of potato faster and causes uneven texture and finish. Baby spuds, pictured in the video, take about 10 minutes, give or take. I make these often, smash them, and then roast with olive oil, Parmesan and spices. If making, cubed, potatoes, for example to use in potato salad, these will take around 15 minutes where larger chunks or whole new potatoes will be 20-25 minutes.

This recipe produces an umami-rich sauce that coats thick spaghetti with a savory meatless sauce. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself making this dish again and again.
