I love it when my old stand-by recipes get jazzed up with fruit. Fruit with meat adds an unexpected sweetness and usually some tartness too—similar to sweet and sour (which you know I love). So any new recipes that incorporate both fruit and meat are a must-try in my book.
And anything I can adap...
Turmeric is amazing! It's an anti-inflammatory and it prevents cancer! Everywhere I look these days there is an article or a study or a blog post on the wonders of turmeric. It cures headaches, it’s refreshing in the summertime, it’ll give you energy, and so and so forth.
I asked myself: so is tu...
I love that rice + beans = a complete protein, so I try to get this healthy combo into my meals on a regular basis. It does seem that I am often falling back on the same recipes over and over, though, so I like to find new recipes to (literally) spice up my old standby routine.
And of course my f...
I am a big fan of lasagna, and I really love how easy it is to make and to make delicious. Another thing that I love about lasagna is that it is really easy to customize. You can make it meat-lovers or vegetarian, chicken or beef or turkey, cheese or no cheese, add tons of veggies or have it plai...
Roast meat is cheaper per pound than steaks, but you may be tired of your standby roast recipes or itching to get out of the house when the weather is warming up. And who wants to heat up the oven when it gets hot outside? Is there a way to make a succulent roast without having to sit in the hous...
Shepherd’s pie is one of my favorite dishes. Something about the combo of beef, mashed potatoes and veggies creates a flavor blend like no other.
If you’ve never made this super-satisfying dish yourself before, you’ll be amazed just how easy it is. It’s similar to making lasagna—just layer up you...

Have you ever had one of those days when you’re just tired, and you don’t feel like adding one more thing to your to-do list for the day? There are so many things to do that you can’t even see to the bottom of the list, much less imagine getting everyt...
Let’s face it: cheeseburgers are delicious. That smell, that taste… so satisfying, so delicious. But we can’t eat cheeseburgers every day, though maybe we sometimes wish we could…. What if there was a cheeseburger option you could feel good about eating (and feeding to your family?) And what if i...

I love lasagna, but I have been trying to eat fewer grains in general and less wheat specifically. So any recipe that will give me delicious lasagna without feeling yucky afterwards because of the wheat noodles is awesome in my book...
This one pot chicken and rice dish seems pretty simple, but the seasonings and a couple of key ingredients, as well as the pre-marinating of the chicken beforehand make this one very memorable dish. The best part is that it is a one-pot dish, so cleaning up is a breeze! Once you try it I think yo...
It's that time of the week again: hump day! And you know what that means...
It's One-pot Wednesday!
Here at VitaClay we love to make your day easier. A big part of a healthy day is cooking your meals at home, so our goal is to make cooking as healthy and as easy as possible. What can make cook...
On this One-Pot Wednesday we have not one but two great one pot recipes for you to choose from! This is a basic one-pot recipe, and VitaClay makes it so easy!
The addition of olives and oregano give it a really great Mediterranean flavor, and the feta cheese tops it off and rounds out that unique...
Imagine one day when you get off late from work, the kids have their usual after-school activities and practices and you're all over town picking people up and bringing them home. You're too exhausted to think about what to make for dinner, much less cleaning it up afterwards. That drive-through ...
So, it's the weekend.
Maybe you're trying to think of a really great family dinner to cook, or maybe you're having a dinner party and need the perfect entree.
This pork tenderloin with sauerkraut calls for peach flavored iced tea (I just use a ready-to-drink bottle), and it adds a really subtle ...
I've been on a fast food kick lately. No, I don't mean I've been driving through fast junk food places, eating terrible food with awful additives on a regular basis. I've been playing around in my own kitchen, trying to streamline the cooking process.
To be sure, there are times when a special ...

I am not a huge fan of lamb, but I've been reading more about how it is traditionally a nutrient-dense food, and so I've been experimenting with recipes that can help me work a bit more of it into my diet, and maybe help me to acquire mor...

As you may know by now, my favorite kind of meal to cook, especially when I'm busy, is a one-pot meal. Luckily there are tons of ideas for one-pot meals that are delicious, healthy and versatile.
I've done other variations of ri...
Beef Roast is one of my favorite things to make in my VitaClay cooker.
My acupuncturist actually told me that for my body type, if I gained weight around my middle (belly and hips) I should eat beef for breakfast every morning.
After 2 pregnancies I'd gotten down to almost normal, but there were...

Sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse. They're really the only starchy vegetable that everyone agrees is awesome, whether paleo, vegetarian, or gluten free. Even a lot of people who are on low carb diets will make exceptions for sweet potatoes.
There is just so much goodness! Vitamins! Mine...
I'm a sucker for sweet and sour flavors. It's just something about the mixture of salty, sweet, and sour (and even spicy) that is so good. I posted an easy sweet and sour sauce not too long ago that can be used to liven up all kinds of dishes, but I also like to experiment with different fruits i...

My VitaClay gets every-day use around my house. If I'm not making a batch of bone broth, I'm cooking up a pot of rice to use with meals all week long, heating up some soup or steaming some veggies.
I love to find new recipes and convert them for use with my VitaClay, because I fi...
I really like corned beef. I'm kind of new to it, actually.
I mean, I grew up in America and I had heard of it, but I'm not Irish or anything, so I never really knew what it was.
Then when I did see it, it was either in a can (ew!) or it was not very widely available- maybe shoved into one corne...

There are some classic combinations that just go really well together: fish and tartar sauce, ketchup and french fries, and lemon pepper chicken. The sweet tartness of the lemon is offset by the juicy, savory meaty goodness of the chicken and the spice ...
As the weather begins to cool outside and the leaves begin to change colors, we start craving warm, satisfying soups and stews. Here at VitaClay, stews are sort of our signature dish: especially beef stew.
There's something about stew made in our clay pots that is just really great: even better ...

Sometimes I just have chicken and a few veggies in the fridge.
Sure, I could make the same chicken dinner I always make: it's easy, quick, brainless, and everybody likes it... or they used to. But sometimes we get bored with the same old...
