I received a shipment of samples from Bone Suckin' and decided to use the Yaki first for a stir fry.  We were over the top happy with this Yaki "Teriyaki" and I am serious. This is the best we have ever had and it's gluten free.  

I did make 1 chicken breast for me as I am not a big steak fan!  Enjoy xo

Kale chips are super easy to make or can be super easy to mess up!  We know that is true.  They are just so yummy...

Here is what you need to know to make the perfect crispy kale chips!

First take your kale and remove the ribs. You can easily do this by holding the bottom rib from the leaf with one hand and use the other hand to grip onto the rib and move your hand up the leaf separating the two from each other.  Next, either chop or tear the leaves into small pieces and place in your colander.  Rinse throughly then dry.  I like to lay paper towels down on my counter then create an even layer of the leaves.  Top with another layer of paper towels and press down.  You want the leaves dry before baking them into chips.  If they wet... they will burn!  

These balls are amazing!  Perfect for a quick snack.  Enjoy

There is just something about homemade cornbread that makes everyone happy.  We smoked a pork shoulder for Superbowl  Sunday and I thought having some cornbread biscuits would be a great addition to the rolls.

I just love Bob's Mill Paleo Baking Mix and it worked great with this recipe.

Also, I don't buy buttermilk and it's so easy to make at home. This is all you do!

1. Pour 1 cup of milk into a measuring glass
2. Either squeeze 2 lemons for 1 tablespoon of juice or 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a bowl.  Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes....
3. Now you have buttermilk.

This is an amazing one-pot recipe.  I served over riced cauliflower but jasmine rice or roasted vegetables would be great too!

Go ahead and make it!

Note:  I love green onions and hate when they wilt in the refrigerator so I used the entire bunch.  

Enjoy Cindy xo

My family loves popovers and I enjoy making them for them.  We all so the popover dance together.  I had some fresh asparagus and my Lodge Cast Iron pan was on the stove already to sauté them.  Last minute I decided to create a large popover and I was so happy that everyone just loved it.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did!  xo Cindy

Note:  My pan is 12 inches and this recipe was developed to fit this pan.  I you have the 10 inch pan you will want to alter the recipe.

I am known for opening the refrigerator and creating a quick and healthy dish.  I was looking at baby kale and 2 pieces of bone-in chicken breast along with zucchini, eggplant and red onions.  I decided to make a pesto!  Go ahead and give this one a try!

I know - I know - I am Italian.  However, we have Labanese friends and they would bring over pita bread, grape leaves and kibbeh.  So good!  I remember how my Nana's friend could take a large pieces of pita and rip it in 1/2 the long way so each person got one half of a large pita and made us an amazing sandwich.  Sometimes I wish i was that little girl in at my Nana's house!

I love lamb and that is the traditional way to make kibbeh but not everyone enjoys it so I decided to make it with beef and will put out a large platter to serve the kibbeh by adding grape leaves, hummus, tabouleh,  lettuce, cucumbers, feta cheese, olives and extra-virgin olive oil.

Since we are only in Massachusetts for a few weeks; I am trying to use up everything I have before we go back home to Florida.  I made my Crepes recipe that has been carried down from my Grandfather but if you want to use Paleo Crepes - Go here for my Paleo Recipe.

The banana cream does taste like the batter for your bread!  So yummy...  

OK..  I need to admit something before I continue. I am addicted to Wild Friends Vanilla Espresso Almond Butter and can't stop consuming it!  It all started with my lava cakes and my daily smoothies.  

You can make this recipe as cupcakes, a loaf or what I did - use a cake pan and enjoy with your friends and a cup of tea.

I always think banana bread when those bananas are nice a ripe on the counter.  Today I decided to make more of a breakfast cake in a 9 inch pan.  Slicing the bread with a side of fresh fruit was a  perfect weekend breakfast with our coffee as we sit outside enjoying the amazing Florida weather.

When you think about BBQ sauce I know the first thing to mind is chicken, pork or beef brisket.  We decided to make some yummy BBQ Shrimp Tacos and serve with an Avocado Lime Coleslaw to bring it all together.

Go ahead and make these!

We love our Big Green Egg and be sure to keep coming back as we will be posting new videos and recipes that we just know you will enjoy!

This recipe is super easy.  We have a chicken throne and it fills a 12 ounce beer. If you don't have one just use the beer can.  We also love all of the amazing seasonings from Moms Gourmet.

Tip:  We used an aluminum disposable pan to place the chicken throne on and chicken.  Great for a quick clean up!  Also, get a kitchen spray bottle with water, chicken broth or apple juice to baste.

Remember childhood sloppy joes… This is so much better and perfect for after school snacks. You can just serve on your favorite buns, over spaghetti or grilled vegetables for a paleo option.  

Anyway you decided will be great.  Just double the recipe to feed a crowd.

Cindy's Tip!  Make ahead and just keep warm in your slow cooker to enjoy anytime.  We love to keep this on the counter at our lake house.  The kids can serve themselves when they are hungry!  Yummy

At the lake during the summer it's easy to make a dish, get in the boat and head over to a friends house.  I get to have my granddaughter Brooke with me all summer so my dishes need to be kid approves.  

I decided to make sloppy joes then it was easy to wrap and just warm at our friends house.  These were a big hit and fed 5 adults and 6 kids.  There was about 2 tablespoons left in the pan!  

I love veal mixed with my meat as it really lightens up the texture and taste amazing.  You can also use pork or just all meat.  Of course, the kids just knew it was sloppy joes - They all loved it...  

My stomach does not do well with green bell peppers but you can certainly use them in this recipe.  I went for the red and yellow.  This is also a great dish to use your Cast Iron Pan!

These pork chops were simply amazing.  Using my Cast Iron pan was perfect for our dinner.  Get it really hot to sear the chops then the oven will do the rest.  I did let the pork chops marinade for a few hours in the refrigerator seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh rosemary and thyme from my garden then olive oil.  

I made these for 3 of us!  I used the Center Cut Pork Chop Loin but you can use any cut for this recipe.

Before I begin let me just say for the record. Bone Suckin' Sauce reached out to me and asked if I would test out their products.  We said sure since we love to BBQ on our Big Green Egg.  We have made a few different recipes using their products and we just LOVE their products.  

These ribs are amazing.  Go ahead and get some of their sauce and make some ribs!

Enjoy xo

I love summer time at the lake because I get to spend it with my grandchildren.  I have Ty (4) all week and this morning he wanted waffles.  He love to cook with me so of course we made them homemade.  The best part for him are the eggs!  I decided to whisk the egg whites to make these waffles even more amazing.  

This batter made 4 perfect waffles in my waffle iron for my 2 sweeties!  

Enjoy!

We are thrilled to be working with the Big Green Egg.  We have been testing new recipes for my upcoming show Recipes on the Fly!  Be sure to stay connected with Cindy's Table!

This dish came out beyond amazing.  Please give it a try....

In Florida we can get some amazing fresh fish.  While at the market I spotted Yellow Tail Snapper wild caught and local.  I had all of the other ingredients to make this amazing dinner for 2.  This is a great dinner if you are following the Paleo diet or a healthy Mediterranean diet

Note:  You don't have to buy blackened seasonings as I am sure all of the spices are at home in your cabinet.  

Julienne is a knife cut where you slice long strips and keep them all in the same length. 

Perfect for company at the lake!

Cindy's important tip! Be sure to zest the lemon first then squeeze for the fresh juice!

I was at our local Whole Foods staring at the meat case poultry.  I decided to get 2 bone-in chicken breast, 2 bone-in chicken thighs and 2 hot chicken sausage (for some heat).  I grabbed a bunch of vegetables and got home and started to cook.  I really didn't  have a plan and this recipe was created.

Feel free to add more ingredients to feed a family. This is a perfect recipe for 2. 

I roasted some chopped red potatoes and added them into the pot before serving.  I knew my husband would wants some carbs in the dish.  Totally optional. 

Go ahead and give this one a try!  I did a little video and put in on my Facebook Page and Instagram page.

Enjoy! 

As I was walking around the grocery store looking for inspirations  spotted a box of burger wheat.  I decided to grab the box and use it a few different way.  We love tobuli and I make kibbeh in the summer.

At the grocery store they had buy one get one free of grape tomatoes so I decided to roast one package with lots of garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil.  The combination went great together.
