Mom's Ham Salad

April 22, 2019 Kat Davis

Hi friends! Look at me, writing a blog post! I know it’s been a while, and I’ve actually been testing and photographing recipes that I never posted, haha. But I’m back! I’ve been working through some difficult things, so I appreciate the time away. But I’m feeling more and more like myself again, or perhaps like my new self, so I’m emerging a bit more. I was eager to get back to this space and feel inspired again.

Now, Easter was yesterday, raise your hand if you’ve got some leftover ham! We have a lot! Thankfully ham is super versatile, great for breakfast, on pizza, in this Instant Pot Hambone Soup . It’s also easy to freeze for later. But, I also love ham salad, and it’s seriously perfect for meal prep and packing into lunch boxes.

Kimchi Meatballs

I can’t remember how I got inspired to make this recipe, I think I just wanted another way to use kimchi. But it doesn’t really matter, because I’m just super thrilled that I made it. These little meatballs are delicious! They’ve got a bit of tang from the kimchi, umami from the porcini mushrooms, and just lots of deliciousness.

Tangy Mustard Keto Ribs

January 10, 2019 Kat Davis

If you’re following me on social media, you may know that in less than a week I am beginning to transition my diet to keto. It’s something I’ve needed for a long time, but I finally feel like I can do it. So when I was thinking about the kind of food I’ll be eating, of course I thought of ribs. Tender, flavorful, falling off the bone, smothered in finger-lickin’ sauce. The problem is, most of those finger-licking’ sauces are pretty sugary.

Guys, it’s finally here! Diane Sanfilippo’s new book, Keto Quick Start, releases today! I’ve had the great opportunity to be on the launch team for the book, so I’ve had my copy for a couple weeks. I’ve been reading through it, and I can’t speak highly enough about it. There is so much information packed into this book, including 9 chapters on how to use keto to improve your health, meal plans, shopping list, incredible graphics, helpful tips, and over 100 recipes!

Butternut Soup with Chorizo and Garlic Cream

December 5, 2018 Kat Davis

I’ve had this recipe idea in my head for ages, maybe even a whole year, and it finally came to fruition! I thought the sweet squash would contrast with the spicy chorizo, and garlic cream is just always a good idea. I went back and forth between calling it “creme” and “cream.” What’s the difference? I don’t know. Creme is just French for cream, I’m assuming. I don’t know that for sure, I’m not going to google it right now. But I went with “cream” anyway, because it seemed less elitist and more down-to-earth, and that’s really what this blog is all about.

Dairy-Free Chicken Corn Chowder

It’s soup season! Once those crisp mornings begin, we always have soup in the fridge…..and the freezer. Soup is so easy to make, and perfect for meal prep and packing into lunch boxes. I think I say this every time I post a soup recipe, but this is one of my favorite uses of the Instant Pot! If I can make soup in 5 minutes, I am ALL IN.
