Steak Salad with Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette

This was one of those simple dinners that turned out so good.

I started with grass-fed top sirloin steak cooked medium rare, and served it over an organic spring mix with onions, celery, and carrots. Then I added crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, sliced avocado, and finished everything with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

For the vinaigrette, I just shook everything together in a mason jar.

Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette

* ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
* ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
* 1–2 tsp Dijon mustard
* 1 small garlic clove, minced
* ½ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp black pepper

The combination of the savory steak, creamy avocado, tangy blue cheese, and balsamic was perfect.

Definitely making this one again.

This morning’s breakfast was simple, savory, and so satisfying.

I made a sweet potato hash with chopped sweet potato, white onion, and fresh garlic, all sautéed in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Once everything was tender and browned, I topped it with an over-easy egg for a golden, runny yolk.
It felt cozy, wholesome, and a little special without taking much effort.

Simple ingredients make some of the best meals.

Warm, simple, and a little elevated.

Tonight’s dinner was honestly too good not to share: cauliflower curry with seared scallops.

I started by sautéing about 4 cups of cauliflower chopped, one large sliced white onion, and chopped baby portobello mushrooms in olive oil, then tossed in garlic, ginger, curry powder, salt, and pepper.

Once the veggies softened up, I poured in about a cup of coconut cream to make it super rich and creamy. I then used a masher to mash up all the veggies.

For the scallops, I just seasoned them with coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper, then seared them in a little butter and olive oil for about two minutes on each side until they got a perfect golden crust.

I served the scallops right on top of the curry and finished it all off with some fresh parsley.

Super simple ingredients but so much flavor. This is definitely going into the regular rotation.

Fresh, simple, and bursting with flavor!
🍤🌿
This shrimp ceviche is one of those recipes that reminds me healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated. Inspired by a recipe from Olena Osipov - Healthy Recipes , I made a few changes to make it more lectin free.

✨ I peeled and deseeded the cucumbers and tomatoes to reduce lectins.
✨ I replaced the jalapeño with a pinch of cayenne pepper for a gentle, even heat.

The result is a bright, refreshing dish that’s perfect for warm weather and packed with fresh flavor. Enjoy it on its own as a light meal, or scoop it up with Siete Foods Grain Free Tortilla Chips for the perfect crunchy pairing.

If you’re following a lectin-conscious lifestyle, these small adjustments can make a big difference while keeping every bite delicious.

Chicken & Cauliflower “Shawarma” with a savory twist!

For a low lectin, high-reward dinner, this one is for you. I took the classic sheet pan shawarma recipe from and leveled it up with a few of my favorite earthy additions.

To make it my own, I tossed in plump garlic cloves and rich, savory shiitake mushrooms. They roast beautifully alongside the cauliflower and get so beautifully caramelized! I also added a teaspoon of turmeric to the spice blend for an extra boost of warmth, flavor, and that gorgeous golden color.

Everything roasts together on one pan until the chicken is juicy and the veggies have those perfect charred edges.

Ingredients:
Perilla oil (or Olive oil for Phase 2)
2 heads of organic cauliflower; cut florets in half or quartered to bite size
1 large onion, chopped
About 5 oz Sh*take mushrooms, chopped
1 or two garlic bulbs (handful of garlic cloves)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne
Salt and fresh pepper, to taste
2 Pasture Raised Boneless Chicken Breast about 1.5 lbs. Cut into thick strips
Leafy greens of your choice
tzatziki sauce for serving (optional for Phase 3)

Instructions:
-Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Mix the salt, pepper, cu**in, coriander, paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl.
-Place cauliflower florets, mushroom, garlic and onion on a cooking sheet and top with half of the mixed seasoning and drizzle with about 3 - 5 tablespoons of the oil. Transfer pan to the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, tossing about every 10 minutes.
-In the bowl with seasonings, add the chicken and mix with about 2 tbs of oil. Toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature while vegetables roast.
-Add the chicken to the vegetables and cook for additional 10 minutes—if chicken strips are large, they may need a few more minutes. Cut into one to check.
-Cut chicken strips into bite size pieces and add back to Cauliflower and mix.

For a phase 1 meal, I served this with slices avocado on a bed of chopped Romane.
Other options include topping it with tzatziki sauce from (Phase 2), or serving it in a wrap (Phase 3)

I wanted to share a little tip I’ve been enjoying lately.
I have been using goat milk as my coffee creamer for quite some time now—also known as a “Capriccino.” Is this something you’ve tried?

I’ve also started replacing regular milk with goat milk in many of my recipes.

I’ve done a little research to learn more about the benefits of goat milk compared to cow milk, and I thought this breakdown might be helpful if you are considering the switch:

Which one should you choose?

Choose A2 Cow Milk if you love the exact taste of traditional milk but want to avoid the “heavy” feeling or bloating.
Choose Goat Milk if you have more sensitive digestion or want the extra boost of MCTs and easier-to-process fat globules.

Key Differences

- Digestibility: Goat milk is significantly easier to digest. Its fat globules are smaller and it forms a “softer curd” in the stomach, which allows it to be processed much faster than cow milk.
- Allergies & Sensitivity: Most cow milk contains A1 beta-casein, a protein often linked to digestive inflammation. Goat milk is naturally predominantly A2 casein, which many people find doesn’t cause the same bloating or discomfort. It also contains slightly less lactose (about 1g less per cup).
- Nutrient Bioavailability: Research suggests that minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium are more efficiently absorbed from goat milk than from cow milk.
- Flavor Profile: Cow milk has a familiar, neutral sweetness. Goat milk is often described as creamier and slightly tangier.

The Keto Perspective
If you are tracking macros or staying keto-compliant:

- Carbs: Both contain roughly 11–12g of net carbs per cup. They aren’t strictly “keto,” but can be used in small amounts.
- MCTs: Goat milk contains about double the Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) compared to cow milk. MCTs are preferred by the body for quick energy conversion, which is a nice bonus for metabolic health.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you decide to give it a try!
