tips, tricks, and recipes that simplify yummy food
This is less of a recipe and more of your summer reminder that you should go make this sandwich (with lots of Sloth Shortcuts so you can make this Garden Fresh BLT whenever you want). This sandwich, for me, signals the peak of summer. It’s hot hot hot outside, fresh produce is easy to find, and you need a quick, easy, summer meal. Juicy, ripe, red tomatoes, crispy bacon, fresh green lettuce, creamy mayo, and some toasted sourdough bread.
This spaghetti sauce – it tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen, letting it simmer and bubble, with all kinds of secret ingredients and steps, when really… you spent 30 minutes making it. There are just a few steps to getting that cooked-all-day, mouth-watering flavor. Lots of variations- you can make it as a meat sauce with Italian sausage, a marinara sauce, or a filling vegetarian sauce with mushrooms.
Mmmm these Pad Thai Zoodle Bowls – healthy, easy, and so yummy! Maybe you feel like me and that you have been exclusively existing on a quarantine diet of banana bread and cheez-its (just me? no?) but I have been needing something packed with veggies and healthy. But still yummy – very important. There are three parts to these bowls- the zoodles (zucchini noodles), the sauce, and the protein.
These carnitas tacos are cooked either in the slow cooker or the instant pot for some tender, flavorful, meat, then they are crisped up in the oven under the broiler for some awesome crispy texture. YES PLEASE!!
Lasagna is one of my favorite meals to make for a party. It’s the perfect meal to have to gather your people together and enjoy a long, leisurely dinner over. (Sob, writing this from quarantine. Dreaming about having friends and family over to have this.) It also freezes like a champ so I like to make sure I have one in the freezer at all times if I need emergency pasta. Win win win. It’s a rich, filling, beautiful dish- that cheesy, creamy layer, a rich hearty tomato sauce with italian sausage, the pasta, and of course, CHEESE. It’s a pretty quick process, especially with these Sloth Shortcuts.
I heart these salmon cakes. They are kind of like crab cakes but um… salmon. They are fresh, healthy, and so versatile! The three ways I make them are lemon herb, asian spice, and Cajun…
Mmmmm Tacos. We probably eat some version of tacos at least twice a week in the sloth kitchen. Two reasons: Sloth friendly- fast and easy with these sloth shortcuts!
YUM. Did I mention yum? Easily my favorite food. They can also be customized to everyone’s different tastes, and they can be dairy free and/or gluten free if you want (see recipe notes) There are 5 important components…
FISH. TACOS. This is one of my all time favorite, fastest, and easiest meals to make! I put it in pretty much every meal rotation. I love making it in the air fryer, but it can also be done in the oven (see recipe notes). I am in love with my air fryer though- it’s about as easy to use as a microwave, but gets things CRISPY. Similar to roasting food at a high temperature, it gets food nice and crisp without using a lot of oil.
It’s windy and cold, and it’s April. Even though this 30 degree weather would have seemed like a nice heat wave back in January, it feels like the arctic after having some spring weather the last few weeks. I needed some warm, comforting soup!
Creamy, dreamy, and easy mac and cheese in the crockpot- does it exist?? I needed to take something to a work lunch, but I was skeptical this would work. I wanted it to be hot and delicious and cheesy and creamy and fix all of …
