Mexican Potato Bake

March 27, 2018
Cuisine

The only thing that I like just as much as Mexican food is potatoes. I like them in just about every form. This dish combines diced sweet potatoes, but you could substitute your favorite potato instead. Japanese sweet potatoes or red potatoes would be delicious!

With the addition of sweet peppers, chipotle peppers, ground beef, and mexican spices, you’ll whip up a casserole that’s spicy, addicting, and a nice change from typical mexican food.

…which is still absolutely delicious. Change is nice though!

I like to top mine with avocado and dairy-free cheese sauce. You could go crazy with so many different toppings for this! Sour cream, greek yogurt, green onions, salsa verde, the list goes on and on! It would all be tasty!

Quick Alfredo Sauce

December 14, 2017

Chicken Alfredo is my lactose-intolerant husband’s favorite dish. It’s pretty much always a goal of mine to give him something that reminds him of that…however, it always seems impossible to compare to the original. This recipe comes close despite it’s lack of dairy.

If you have the resources to get the products involved, it’s SO WORTH IT! However, if you do not have some of the ingredients, there are substitutes for a few ingredients that will still yield a delicious and creamy alfredo sauce.

After one taste of this, my husband said, “you’ll be making this often!”

  1. Over medium heat, sauté garlic in ghee for 30 seconds to a minute.
  2. Whisk in cream cheese until it melts completely.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients* and whisk together. Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken. *I also add 1-2 TBSP of Italian seasoning - like Primal Palates Amore Seasoning (YUM!) to the sauce. It gives it a nice herby-kick!
  4. You can adjust the salt and pepper now. I like mine on the saltier side - so I add 1/2-1 tsp or so. If you want a thinner sauce, add more coconut milk. I like mine pretty thick, so I stick with about 1/2 cup. IT'S THAT EASY! Now go and pour this over whatever pasta (or pizza!) you please!
