Part of getting dinner on the table quickly, before your family rebels against you and starts eating the furniture, is keeping it simple. Great flavors, fast prep and simple techniques. It’s what I call my K.I.S.S. approach – Keep It Super Simple with Smart Swaps. That way, you never feel like you’re sacrificing – just feeding your body to the core. Don’t need butter and cream when coconut oil and almond or cashew milk will do the trick and provide more of a nutrient dense solution, don’t ya think?!
Ok, so this is one of my 9 year-old son’s faves. He loves that it looks like a hot dog (because I never make them) and that it’s ready in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES!! I don’t know if you have a kid who, when he’s hungry, he’s hungry NOW…and literally needs to eat immediately. Ahhh, the virtues of a hummingbird-like metabolism.
It’s so easy to make and because I use a Milanesa cut of beef – wafer thin – it grills up in minutes. Meanwhile, you’re roasting the veggies in the broiler and whipping up the salsa in a blender, so everything is ready super quick!! I make a lot of the salsa and keep it in Mason jars to top eggs, chicken, fish, tacos and pretty much everything that needs a kick. Its gorgeous color adds a ton of flavor and you’re getting your veggies in every bite! I fuse my So Cal life with my Mediterranean roots to get the Med Mex style of cuisine I’ve become known for.
Hope you enjoy it – and PLEASE leave us a comment. We love to hear from you. Seriously, it makes our day.
