It’s summertime and temperatures are spiking across the country! So when you want a lighter side dish to go alongside your grilled steak or chicken, this Whole30 Herby Mashed Cauliflower will become your next go-to. You’ll get tons of flavor, but this side won’t weigh…
It can be hard to be in the mood for salads in the winter. The last thing I want to eat when it’s cold outside is an ice cold salad. My solution? Broccoli gives the salad heft, and I like to char the florets in…
I love radishes; the sharp, peppery bite is such a perfect salad ornament. But I am here to tell you that radishes aren’t only good raw. My Whole30 “butter” braised radishes bring new dimension to this common vegetable. Even picky eaters will love the mellow umami-enriched flavor of these radishes.
Radishes are both a familiar vegetable and a mystery at the same time. Familiar in that we all know the crunchy sharp bite they add to salads, but a mystery in that many of us don’t know what else to do with them. A whole bunch of radishes may wilt in the back of the refrigerator if we only use one or two in a salad.
I, myself, hadn’t tried cooking radishes until I was a part of a CSA in Massachusetts. The great part of the farm share was trying all kinds of new vegetables (not that radishes were new), but one farm share could easily feed a family of four, and I was single. The new challenge for me became, how can I use all these vegetables in a week? I didn’t want anything to go to waste, so I started to get creative. And that’s when I started cooking radishes to ensure everything I was getting was getting eaten. I’ve sautéed and roasted radishes, but braising them brings more flavor to the radish party.
