Sometimes you just need a big ole pot of pinto #beans ! Render chopped bacon 🥓& remove excess drippings, minus a few tablespoons. Reserve bacon to towel. Sauté diced Vidalia onion, seeded/ribbed jalapeño & minced garlic. Add bacon back to pot. Season w/ Spanish smoked paprika, kosher salt & pepper. Add bay leaves, bouquet garni of #fresh oregano & enough water to cover the beans by a few inches. Add a few dashes of coconut aminos. Season again w/ salt & pepper. Simmer away for two-plus hours, until perfectly lucious & appropriately reduced. Season one last time w/ salt & pepper to taste. Serve atop a pile of texturally juxtaposing, #organic quinoa, yogurt & garnish w/ fresh parsley/tomatoes🍅 from the #garden. This dish is super affordable if you want to feed a crowd or one Ward #family ! 😀🍽 #dinner #curlsncarrots #glutenfree
#lunch side. Homemade Caesar dressing made with yogurt, anchovies, lemon, #fresh parsley/lemon, evoo, kosher salt, black pepper. Crunchy, #organic romaine, fennel, celery, Persian cucumber & grated #sheepsmilk Pecorino Romano from @traderjoes . @greg.ward.md loves this dressing, and it’s pregnancy friendly (no raw egg). #glutenfree #curlsncarrots #food #salad
#taco night! Stone ground #fresh tortillas, simply charred peppers/onions/jalapeños, grilled #organic #freerange chicken thighs dusted with ancho chile powder, hatch chile salsa from @traderjoes ... #homemade guacamole w/ #fresh lime, garlic, oregano, cilantro, tomatoes & chives from my #garden. Melt Dubliner cheddar #cheese @kerrygoldusa when warming tortillas in a cast iron pan. Love me some #texmex #food ( #Texas girl!)... 🌮🥑🍅🍻💕. The trick is to prepare everything simply, use great ingredients & season well in each step. #curlsncarrots #glutenfree P.S. I add a touch of #greekyogurt from @fage to my guacamole. Delicious sacrilege. 🍶💪
