Breakfast doesn’t have to mean eggs or pastries. I’ll be the first to admit I get sick of eggs after a while, so I came up with these plantain & olive beef bowls as a filling breakfast alternative. And. It’s. Amazing.
It’s hard not to make an amazing meal when plantains, olives, capers and mayo are involved! If you haven’t been hanging out in the paleo part of the internet very long, plantain & olive beef bowls will likely sound strange. But trust me. This makes a rockin’ breakfast!
One of my goals for the summer was to eat more seafood, especially seafood that’s new to me. Fresh, affordable, sustainable seafood is actually available in the summer and I didn’t want to pass up the chance to try new fish and sea creatures that I haven’t had the pleasure of cooking myself.
Walleye was high up on my list because it’s a hot item in North Dakota/Minnesota in the summer. Many people catch their own walleye and have huge fish fries. I didn’t go that route (because I’m not up to the task of gutting my own fish yet). But I did get my hands on some beautiful, wild caught walleye fillets! And since it’s summer, the only obvious recipe to make is grilled walleye.
Ever heard of a Mississippi Roast? This Pepperoncini Shredded Beef Roast is 100% based on that.
What’s that mean, exactly? Flavorful beef that simmers in a rich sauce in your slow cooker all day. Once you touch it, it practically shreds itself! This shredded beef is incredibly tender, and you can use it for just about anything—sandwiches, stuffed sweet potatoes, or on its own.
Oh, and the flavor…bold and rich. Your tastebuds will immediately sing the praises of this dish!
I told you smothered fries were good. If you weren’t convinced before, let me know what you think after devouring a heaping plate of these pork belly benedict smothered fries.
The idea for this dish was sparked at a diner while I was on vacation in Oceanside, San Diego. The diner had pork belly benedict on the menu…and while I didn’t order it, my mind immediately began formulating a plan for a similar meal. Since I’ve recently decided that smothering fries in all sorts of delicious toppings is the best thing since sunflower seed butter, this is the recipe I came up with.
Between the thick sweet potato fries, salted and crispy pork belly pieces, plump poached eggs, and rich hollandaise, this is one hell of a breakfast.
I feel like I’m on to something with these buffalo chicken smothered sweet potato fries.
Smothered fries are like a superior nacho. There, I said it.
Sure, you have to use a fork for smothered fries, but that’s hardly any reason to pass them up.
The spiciness of basic buffalo chicken is evened out by the slight sweetness of oriental sweet potato fries and a simple cilantro mayo sauce. <– That sentence alone sums up how simplistic this recipe can be. Just smother some sweet potato fries in flavorful meat and add a couple toppings.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering to yourself how you could have missed the supreme awesomeness of smothered fries.
Well, you won’t be missing it anymore. Grab a fork—you’re going to want to dig in.
