Chicken with Fennel and Carrots in a Creamy Mustard Sauce<\/p>\n
Serves 2-3<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
2 boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces<\/p>\n
3 carrots diced<\/p>\n
1 fennel bulb with greens attached, slice up the whole thing, from root to greens<\/p>\n
1 red onion diced<\/p>\n
2-3 tablespoons butter<\/p>\n
Swoosh of extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup heavy cream<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard<\/p>\n
1 cup water<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n
Directions<\/p>\n
In a Dutch oven, saute the vegetables in butter. Remove the vegetables, add butter and flour. Cook the flour for 2-3 minutes. Add in the chicken pieces and a swoosh of olive oil. Brown the chicken pieces until cooked through, add back in the vegetables. Add the cream, mustard, water, salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until the broth has thickened. Serve as a stew or over wide noodles.<\/p>\n
Sheet Pan Salmon with Vegetables and Frittata<\/p>\n
Serves 4<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
1 \u00bc lb skin-on salmon filet ( I buy this frozen and “wild caught”)<\/p>\n
2 summer squash cut into half circles<\/p>\n
\u00bd pint cherry tomatoes cut in half<\/p>\n
2 cups broccoli florets cut into bite-size pieces<\/p>\n
Directions<\/p>\n
Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Place the salmon filet on the sheet pan, brush with the teriyaki marinade. Surround the salmon filet with chopped vegetables, sprinkle with teriyaki sauce and olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until salmon is cooked through and vegetables are tender.<\/p>\n
The next day I combined leftover vegetables with bite-size pieces of salmon in a skillet, added four beaten eggs, poured over the vegetables and salmon, cooked in a 350 F oven for 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Slow Cooker Umami Shredded Beef<\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic diced<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons fish sauce<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons butter<\/p>\n
Directions:<\/p>\n
Add all ingredients into the slow cooker, turn on low and cook for 8-10 hours. The shredded beef can be served over rice or polenta. Leftovers make a great sandwich!<\/p>\n
