- Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced poblano — about 1 medium size pepper
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 TBS sugar (optional and only if your cornbread doesn’t have sugar)

- 1 tsp sage

Preheat the oven to 350
Heat the olive oil in the skillet and sauté the onion, poblano and celery until they are soft and translucent then set aside to cool.
To your large bowl, crumble 3-cups of cornbread. Reserve the last cup to add later if needed, as we did in the video, if the mixture is too moist.
Add the onion, poblano, celery mixture and the squash and stir to combine. Stir in the egg, soup and butter then add the herbs and additional cornbread if necessary.

Classic Egg Salad

Classic, mouth-watering egg salad sandwiches are everyone's favorite, piled high on homemade rye bread and given a generous application of cracked black pepper.
Ingredients
- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs
- ¼ Cup Mayo or Vegenaise
- 1 Celery Rib, Diced Fine
- 3 TBS. Red Onion, Diced Fine
- 1 TBS. Dijon Mustard
- 1 TBS. Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Pepper to Taste
Instructions
Boil your eggs gently for 12:00 to 15:00 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, peel your eggs and add them to your mixing bowl. If you find some or all of your eggs difficult to peal, crack the shells and submerge in cool water for peeling. During the peeling process water works its way under the shell membrane making it easier to peel your eggs. You’ll find you’re able to easily remove pieces of shell still attached to the membrane.
Now, dice your boiled eggs, I enjoy a fine dice and actually create the consistency you see in the above photo with the tines of a fork.
Fine dice a single stalk of fresh celery and add it to your eggs.
Add three tablespoons of fine-diced onions.
Now add a scant quarter cup of mayo.
And a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Add the juice of half a lemon.
And a healthy dose of fresh ground pepper. Combined and season to taste with salt. Classic. Enjoy!

Chicken and Apple Breakfast Sausage

Chicken and apple breakfast sausage, destined to become one of your favorites with ground chicken breast, apples, fennel, onions, thyme and smoky paprika.
Ingredients
- 1.5 T butter
- 1 Small poblano pepper, diced small, about 1/3 of a cup
- 1 Granny Smith apple, diced small (Fuji apple is also good)
- 1 medium onion, diced small
- 2 tsp. fennel seed, ground
- 2 lbs. ground chicken breast, 98% fat free
- 2 tsp. poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp. thyme
- 1 tsp. allspice
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the poblano, apple and onion to the pan, season with a little salt and add fennel seeds. Gently sauté the mixture about 5-minutes until onions are soft and translucent. Remove from heat to cool.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Place the ground chicken in a large bowl and add the poultry seasoning, thyme, allspice and paprika. Add a healthy drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. This will moisten the mixture.
Add the apple, poblano, onion mixture to the chicken and combine. Add more olive oil if mixture seems dry.
Use the cookie scoop, or spoons, to place the sausage balls on a parchment covered sheet pan.
Top each ball with a little olive oil and use the back of a spoon to flatten the balls into patties.
Pop the sheet pan into your preheated oven and bake for 10-minutes. You may also pan fry the sausages but we found baking was the easiest way to cook so many at once.
When your sausage patties cool you can freeze them or place in the fridge if you’re going to use them right away. We layer the sausage in a freezer container with parchment between the layers. That makes it easier to remove sausages as you need them.
When you’re ready for sausage, heat a little oil in your favorite skillet and cook over low-ish heat until the tops are golden brown. (Since the sausage is already cooked, you only want to brown them a bit.) Serve with your favorite egg dish, sweet cantaloupe and grainy bread. Enjoy.

Crunchy Oven Roasted Okra

Ingredients
- 1 cup okra
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
First, hit your local farmer’s market or grocery and bag up some fresh okra. When you get ready to cook your okra, pre-heat your oven to 350 or 375 degrees, depending on your oven. Some ovens run hotter or colder than others so, until you figure out roasting okra in your own oven, be prepared to keep an eye on the process and, you’re going to want to be flexible with your cooking time in the beginning too. Some ovens will produce perfect roast okra in twenty-minutes, other I’ve seen have taken thirty or longer to achieve that crispy crunch of happiness.
Next, prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper. While your over is pre-heating, wash your okra under running water.
Then, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
When you’re finished, head over to the cutting board.
Top and tail your okra then dice it into bite size pieces. Keep in mind that smaller pieces will cook much quicker than fatter ones so cut longer piece from smaller okras so it all cooks evenly. On a personal note, I like my okra to char on the ends. I enjoy the charred flavor and am convinced it contributes to my love of this recipe.
After you’ve got your okra chopped, dribble in olive oil and stir to coat, then add salt to taste.
We like the taste of large grain sea-salt and frankly, think it looks nice too. Once you’ve got your okra cut and ready for the oven, pour it onto your prepared sheet pan and pop it into the oven.
If you’re new to this recipe and not sure you want your okra to be the oven-dried salty snack we love so much, take your okra out early if you want to maintain a chewier consistency. Enjoy!
Notes
Okra is super good for your cardiovascular health, contains no fat, cholesterol and is low in calories and high in fiber with only one gram of sugar and 4 grams of carbohydrates. Okra is also stuffed full of antioxidants and contains vitamin C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin A.

Rouladen is a traditional German dish of tender steak rolled with mustard, bacon, and pickles, skillet browned, braised to perfection and served with pan gravy. Cut the round steak into 4 to 6 pieces and pound the pieces 1/4” thick for rolling. (We’re fortunate, we have a butcher here that offers round steak already sliced and packaged for rouladen.). You need enough for four servings. Note: In our video we made only two servings. Nutrition information isn’t always accurate.Beef Rouladen
Ingredients
Instructions
Lay your sliced beef onto a cutting board, add a thin coating of mustard and top with a slice of bacon.
Roll the beef and bacon around the pickle slices and secure with toothpicks. Combine flour, salt and pepper, and dredge the rolled beef in the flour mixture.
Brown the rolls in a little olive oil in a large deep skillet.
Then pour off the fat, add water, pickle juice and bay leaf. Cover tightly and simmer on low for 90 minutes. (Should the liquid cook down, add another quarter cup each of water and pickle juice.)
Remove the rolls from the pan to a serving platter. In a small mixing bowl add the cornstarch and mix with a little pickle juice blending well. Add the cornstarch mixture to the water/pickle juice mixture in your skillet. Heat to bubbling and spoon the gravy over rouladens. If you’re serving with spätzle or potatoes, reserve some of the gravy. Enjoy.Notes

Caldo de Pollo

Caldo de pollo con lime, a sunny recipe of roast chicken, poblano, onion and tomatoes spiced with cumin and oregano slowly simmering in chicken broth.
Ingredients
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 medium poblano, diced
- 1 small zucchini, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 heaping tablespoon of ground cumin
- 6-8 cups chicken stock (see our homemade recipe)
- 1 14.5oz diced tomatoes (Muir Glen Fire Roasted tomatoes is our preferred brand)
- 1 t. Thyme (dried)
- 1 t. Mexican Oregano (dried)
- Leftover roast chicken, chopped (about 2 cups)
- Salt to taste
- Juice of two limes
- 4 T chopped cilantro
- Grated cheddar for serving
Instructions
Instructions
Saute diced poblano in olive oil for about 1 minute, add zuchinni and saute another minute, add diced onion and saute for about 8 additional minutes until onions look opaque and vegetables are just starting to brown. Vegetables should be crisp tender. Stir in the ground cumin and cook another minute. Add chicken broth and as much of the tomatoes as you like. We typically use 3/4s of the can or all of it. Stir in the thyme and oregano, add the chicken and bring to a low boil. Stir, lower heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Then salt to taste, add lime juice and 2 T chopped cilantro. Serve with remaining cilantro, grated cheese, lime wedges and tortilla chips.
Notes
*Little did we know that there is confusion over the Spanish word for lime. According to PRI (Public Radio International) the word for lime in Mexico is either limón or lima. In Spain they are called limones verdes. Apparently lemons and limes are not native to any Spanish-speaking country. Citrus appears to have originated in China and northern India. Who knew? Margarita anyone?

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

I never met a dog that didn’t love peanut butter and this furry friend dog biscuit recipe is organic, healthy, tasty and a guaranteed hit with your pet pooch.
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic whole grain spelt or whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup organic rolled oats
- 1 cup organic, crunch or plain, peanut butter or homemade
- 2 eggs, organic and beaten
- 3 tbsp. of organic fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
Coat your pan with olive oil or line it with parchment
paper.
Mix together the dry ingredients, mix in the beaten eggs,
fold in the peanut butter adding enough water to the mixture to bring the dough
together.
Roll or hand press the dough if you’re cutting out your
cookies to about ¼” thick or drop about a tablespoon worth of dough onto your cookie sheet and press it with the palm of your hand into a flat(ish) ¼” disk.
Bake 50:00 to 60:00 minutes.
Notes
Cookies will be hard and dry and store well in an airtight
container.
One thing, most peanut butter brands are safe, others can be deadly for dogs. Some manufacturers use a sugar substitute called xylitol. It’s toxic to dogs, causing a rapid release of insulin resulting in a profound decrease in blood sugar and, left untreated can result in hypoglycemia and can be life threatening to your dog.(1) Avoid this and stick with unsalted, organic peanut butter or make your own like we do.

Place the ground chicken in a large bowl and add the poultry seasoning, thyme, allspice and paprika. Add a healthy drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. This will moisten the mixture.
Add the apple, poblano, onion mixture to the chicken and combine. Add more olive oil if mixture seems dry.

Pasta Ortolano with sauté onions, mushrooms, garlic, asparagus, and fresh Roma tomatoes served over a toothy brown rice pasta with Parmesan and pine nuts! You can prepare the veggies while waiting for the pasta water to come to a boil. After you’ve put the pasta into the boiling water, begin sautéing veggies in the order listed above, adding each next veggie after about one minute of cooking time. After adding the peas cover and cook about 3 minutes, then add broth and continue to cook while you are waiting for the pasta to finish cooking. If you are using brown rice pasta, it will take about 18 minutes for the pasta to cook. If you are using regular pasta, then you might need to keep the pasta warm until the veggies are cooked. You want your veggies and the pasta to be al dente. Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the veggies and then stir in the fresh spinach. Top each serving with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Rosarito Beach Street Tacos – Healthy Version

Ingredients
- 16 oz. Lean Ground Turkey (such as Jennie-O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast)
- 1 TBS Olive Oil (additional for the tortillas)
- 3 TBS Low-Salt Taco Seasoning (recipe below)
- ½ Cup Water
- Corn Tortillas (Get extra so you can have leftovers for breakfast - stir in several eggs for a good scramble and you’ve got a quick and delish breakfast taco.)
- Toppings:
- Real street tacos are usually served with chopped onion, cilantro, grated cheese and lime slice but add any toppings of your choice:
- Grated cheddar cheese
- Chopped tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
- Taco Seasoning Recipe
- 2 TBS Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp Cumin, Ground
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- Stir to combine.
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and sauté the ground turkey 5 or 6 minutes until the pink of the meat is gone.
Sprinkle the turkey with the taco seasoning and continue to stir-fry until the herbs are fragrant, be careful not to burn the herbs.
Add the water, stir and cover to simmer for twenty-minutes.
While the tacos simmer, grab a sheet pan, oil up your tortillas and pop them into a 300-degree oven.
We enjoy roasting our tortillas until they have an almost brittle on the outside yet chewy on the inside texture but that’s us, we know you’ll do what’s right for you.
Notes
A lot of people enjoy masa or wheat tortillas and they do have a place in every lover of southwest cooking’s larder but, for authentic street tacos you’ll want to serve yours with corn tortillas.
