I grew up eating my grandmother’s split pea soup, and it’s one of the first things I learned to cook when I moved away from home. For this version, I omitted one harder-to-find ingredient so I can make it without a trip to a specialty store!

I’m quick to jump at any chance I can get to pack more veggies and fruit into meals and snacks. Of course there are salads and smoothies, but the other surprisingly easy way to do this is with baking. Quiche, casseroles, bread, and muffins have all become fair game.

But whatever it is I’m baking with veggies or fruit, it reaps a big benefit from adding one extra step to my cooking process.

Every morning, almost on autopilot, I make a smoothie — tossing spinach, ginger, lemon, and apple into my blender, along with a splash of coconut water. Then came the morning when I opened the fridge and realized I was completely out of apples, so I took to the freezer, hoping I had something lurking in there that would work as a worthy substitution. Perhaps, weeks prior, a more industrious version of myself stuck something in the freezer that could work here.

There, tucked in the corner next to the bag of broccoli and a half-eaten container of Talenti sorbet, was just the thing that would save this potential smoothie fiasco.

My husband and I recently took our 3-year-old out for burger night at our favorite local restaurant. We wanted to take advantage of the reduced prices — and sometimes, on a random Wednesday, it’s just nice to have someone else do the cooking. Of course, I packed a tote full of books and crayons to occupy our girl, but the key to a stress-free dining experience with a tot in tow often requires a bit more thought. Here are three ways we keep eating out enjoyable for the whole family.

I have nothing against regular french fries, or even sweet potato fries — you’ll definitely never catch me saying no to either one of them. But fries don’t have to be synonymous with potatoes. In fact, you can easily turn just about any vegetable into fries that are crunchy and delicious.

contestpollA couple weeks back I asked you to film and share your favorite Primal Blueprint recipes for a chance to win $1500 in gift certificates to US Wellness Meats. This particular contest has always been a 21-Day Challenge staple, but this year, I upped the ante by moving the contest over to Instagram, thus limiting videos to just 15 seconds each. The response was nothing short of amazing, as you guys came through with 35 top-notch entries!

Picking a short list of favorites was challenging, so the Worker Bees and I threw our favorites into a pot and chose the first five. I’m telling you, all of this year’s submissions were pretty amazing.

While there can only be one winner, I want to give a huge thanks to everyone that took the time to submit a video. I hope you had as much fun making them as we had watching them!

Watch all the videos in the playlist below, then vote for your favorite in the poll at the bottom of the page.

Voting will close and a winner will be announced at 4 pm PST, Wednesday, January 27.

Tuna Patty Wraps Ingredients: 2 cans of tuna fish (sustainably sourced, of course), drained 1 TBS fresh, chopped parsley 1 TBS lemon juice 1 TBS coconut flour 2 tsp tapioca flour/starch 1 egg, beaten ½ tsp paprika Finely chopped red onion (about ¼ c. depending on preference) Salt & Pepper, to taste Directions: In a large skillet or cast iron, heat ghee over med/ med-high heat. You want about a half inch of ghee (or fat of choice) in pan. Meanwhile, mix all ingredients thoroughly. If your ghee is still not hot enough, put the tuna mix in the fridge while the pan heats up. Once pan is ready, form small tuna cakes that are about 2 or 3 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 min on each side, being sure not to overcrowd the pan, until they are nicely browned on both sides. In my large cast iron, I can cook 5 at a time. The fat should be hot enough that the tuna patties sizzle/bubble immediately. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly on a paper towel. Serve on lettuce with desired toppings (avocado, mayo, hot mustard, pickles, etc.). Makes about 6-8 patties, depending on size #15SecPrimal @MarksDailyApple

Who hash! This is a wonderful recipe because of how versatile it can be! You can take anything you find in your fridge and throw it in. Put coconut oil in your pan on medium heat. Once warm, put in half of a red onion, garlic, and a chopped (medium sized) sweet potato. Cook these until the sweet potatoes are well done. In the meantime, put coconut oil in another pan for your choice of meat. Cook thoroughly. Add the meat into the who hash. Mix in whatever other ingredients you would like to use (carrots, celery, spinach, peppers, other veggies or meats) and stir. In the same pan you cooked the meat, scramble up anywhere from 2-8 eggs. Add these in when they are done. Mix the whole combination once again, add spices, and serve. I put mine on a rainbow chard leaf for a lunch wrap. Enjoy!! #15secprimal @marksdailyapple #paleo

Slow Cooked Pork Carnitas Delicious, versatile and simple. Like 3 ingredients kind of simple. That’s right. Ingredients: 5 lb. (2.26 kg) bone-in pork shoulder 5 garlic cloves 1 tbsp. (approx. 18 g) salt or more if you like Directions: Slice 5 cloves of garlic into halves or thirds. Puncture the pork and insert the sliced garlic into the slots. Place the pork shoulder into the slow cooker and cover with salt. No need to add extra liquid. Cover and slow cook on high for 6 hours or until the pork shreds easily with a fork. Pan fry shredded pork with juice from the slow cooker – add more fat of choice if needed. Fry until brown on one side. Eat it with eggs, salsa, guac or anything else you want to make awesome. Variations: Also tastes great cooked with any combination of cumin, onion, oregano, cilantro, orange juice/zest or jalapenos. #15SecPrimal #slowcookedpork #carnitas @marksdailyapple

I just wiped the dust off my old Classic French Cooking notebook — the rickety old binder they gave me when I started class at The French Culinary Institute (now known as the International Culinary Center) 10 years ago. I still have it. The pages are yellowing, and the recipes are a little stodgy, but I’d figured it was worth keeping. I hoped that someday it would prove to be useful, and I was right.
