Grass Fed Beef Stir Fry

Grass fed Beef Stir Fry
Time: 20 minutes 

This is a great way to get protein and all of your yummy vegetables in one meal.  I like using Grass fed beef because research shows it actually has anti-inflammatory fats such as Omega-3's instead of the pro-inflammatory fats that grain fed beef has.  This particular stir fry has mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, carrots, and garlic.  

Tip: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables.  I like to add some Bragg's coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and some aged balsamic vinegar.  Hoison sauce also adds some great flavor. Traditionally this is made in a wok, and takes hardly any time.  You can also use a large frying pan.  I think stir fry goes great with a side of brown rice and quinoa.  

Health Tip: Spinach and dark green vegetables have B-vitamins which give a great boost for energy and mood! 


Ingredients: 
  • 3 cups of vegetables of any kind 
  • 4 ounces of Grass fed beef, stew cut pieces (small squares)
  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil 
  • sea salt, ground pepper
  • 2 Tbsp roasted garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut aminos or soy sauce, Hoison sauce (optional)

Recipe: 
  1.  Heat the coconut oil and garlic on high in a Wok or a large pan for 30 seconds until it starts to sizzle. 
  2. Add the beef and stir every 30 seconds until it starts to brown on all sides. 
  3. Add the vegetables, and continue to stir every 30 seconds. 
  4. Mix in the coconut aminos and a drizzle of Hoison.  
  5. Turn down the heat and simmer until the vegetables are soft but still bright in color (this retains all the nutrients).  The meat is done when it is browned through. 
  6. Top with sea salt, ground pepper.  Serve over quinoa or brown rice, enjoy!

Fresh Zoodles with Ground Turkey

Fresh Zoodles with Ground Turkey
Time: 15 minutes     Prep time: 5 minutes 

  I love making noodles out of Zucchini, because really the sauce is what makes the dish taste good anyway! In order to make "Zoodles" you need a spiralizer such as The Paderno 3-blade spiralizer by William and Sonoma. Zucchini noodles can also be made from yellow squash.  The wider the squash the easier it will be to spiralize.  I have also seen pre-made zoodles at the grocery store in the vegetable section.  This dish is made with fresh herbs and vegetables, you can also add your favorite pasta sauce into the pan towards the end to give it more of an Italian pasta flavor. 

Tip: The trick to make Zoodles that aren't soggy, is to cook them in olive oil and a little bit of water.  You don't want to cook them in a pot of water like regular pasta.

​Health tip:  Squash is a great vegetables and is full of vitamin A which is good for skin, immune system health, and eyes. Carrots are also full of vitamin A. 


Ingredients: 
  • 4 large zucchini or yellow squash spiralized
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp roasted garlic pieces
  • 8 ounces of organic ground turkey or chicken 
  • 1 cup of carrot chips or mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes 
  • 1/3 cup of fresh basil 
  • sea salt, red pepper flakes, ground pepper 

Recipe: 
  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and garlic on high for 30 seconds. 
  2. Add the ground turkey and sauté on high heat until browned. 
  3. Add the spiralized zucchini to the pan, reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan.  
  4. Next place the rest of the vegetables into the pan. Mix them all together until the vegetables are soft but still bright in color. 
  5. Serve with fresh tomatoes, basil on top.   Sprinkle sea salt, red pepper flakes and ground pepper.  Optional to also add some fresh parmesan cheese, enjoy!
