What you’ll need: 8 oz lemon-garlic jackfruit 3 large zucchini (spiralized) 1 lemon (juiced) 2 garlic cloves (minced) 1 pint cherry tomatoes (sliced) ¼ cup fresh basil (chopped) ½ cup pesto ½ tsp sea salt ¼ tsp black pepper Instructions: Place jackfruit in a microwave safe dish and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until jackfruit has been heated thoroughly.

Remove from heat and top with fresh basil, sea salt, and pepper to taste. Drizzle with some additional olive oil and lemon juice if desired.

What you’ll need: 8 oz lightly seasoned jackfruit 4 large collard wraps ½ cup hummus 1 pint cherry tomatoes (sliced) ½ bell pepper (chopped) 1 cucumber (sliced) 1 cup purple cabbage (chopped) 1 cup rainbow quinoa 1 tsp sea salt ¼ tsp black pepper Optional: 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Instructions: In a medium saucepan bring two cups of water boil. Once water has come to boil add 1 cup rinsed quinoa to the pot. Cover quinoa and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for approximately 25 minutes or until quinoa is soft and water has been completely absorbed.

Depending on your personal preference at this time add jackfruit to a bowl and mix with two tablespoons of mayonnaise. You can also choose to skip this step and simply mix jackfruit in a bowl without adding any additional condiments. Next, take a large skillet and add 1-2 cups of water.

Skirt steak is one of our favorite ingredients for weeknight dinners because it cooks in just 6 to 8 minutes.

This is not just a story about a recipe – it’s about a quest. A search and conquer mission. Okay, there IS a recipe, but it’s also about the journey to get here. When The Complete Package and I moved to the Austin area last spring, we discovered Opie’s Barbecue in Spicewood, Texas. On a whim, he grabbed a slice of what they called Coca Cola Cake and a new obsession began. Each time we visited, he would look for the cake on the dessert rack, and most of the time it was sold out. Life can be cruel, and missing this cake became a constant topic for him, just as Opie’s famous butterbeans became for me (sold Friday-Sunday only; dine-in only; no whining allowed). Because the cake became so elusive, I began to dig for recipes. Searches for Coca Cola Cake resulted in chocolate sheet cakes with fudge frosting, which is the traditional Texas way. Those cakes, however, did not resemble Opie’s version in the least. The cake TCP pined for tasted of vanilla, coconut and pecans. It was ...

Okay, kids. Here’s another recipe adapted from the America’s Test Kitchen recipe collection. This fried chicken comes out crunchy and juicy every time, and it takes very little work to make it all happen. You can make this with chicken pieces on the bone, but I prefer to make boneless chicken strips. It makes them easier to dunk in gravy, and we all know everything tastes better when dunked in gravy, right? Marinating the chicken strips in buttermilk makes them juicy on the inside, and the “shaggy crumbs” method of breading makes them crunchy on the outside. My version uses only 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts but don’t let that fool you. This recipe made 18 chicken strips. To prepare the chicken strips, you’ll need: 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts One 16 fluid oz. bottle of buttermilk (low fat is okay, if you prefer) 2 teaspoons of Morton Nature’s Season Salt (Lawry’s would also work) ½ teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper (optional, but very tasty) Trim the chicken ...
