4/18/2022

0 Comments

 
When frosty meets refreshing. Y’all… if you watch my stories, I know you know this already… but yeahhhhh I bought another mint plant because I needed more mint to continue being able to make these daily. 

So far, I’ve had it 4 days in a row minus the days where I was debating on getting another plant or waiting for the mint to grow back. Another mint plant it is. I’m about to go make one right now -and this time I’m adding an espresso shot. enjoy y’all!

Seriously guys, my only mistake was not doubling up on all of these ingredients so we could have more! So don't make my mistake ;)

Mediterranean Chicken Salad
Recipe by: Krysten Jorgensen

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup Chicken (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 tbsp Cucumber (chopped)
  • 2 Cherry tomatoes (chopped)
  • 3 Kalamata Olives (chopped)
  • 2-3 tbsp Tzatziki * (recipe below)
  • 1/2 tsp Dill & Parsley (fresh, chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp Parsley (fresh, chopped)
  • 1.5 tbsp Red onion (chopped)
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1-2 tbsp Feta (I like using fresh feta then crumbling it on top, but you can mix it in as well- optional)*

Directions:
1. Mix everything together in a bowl. Add in more Tzatziki depending on how you prefer your chicken salad. As you know, I always like a lot of sauce soooo I added 3 tbsp  but start with 2 first to see how you prefer. Enjoy y’all! 


Tzatziki:

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (dairy free or regular)
  • 1/2 English cucumber (grated and strained)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh dill *(sub dried, only if you have to.)

Directions:
1. Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. And enjoy!

​-and as you can see I put these in lettuce cups topped with feta, but don’t stop there- this can be use in a sandwich, with pita crackers/regular crackers or served with some cucumbers and celery sticks. Whatever way you choose, it’s gonna be good!


*For my vegan and dairy free friends!*

Here are your subs for this to make this vegan and dairy free!

*Sub chicken for shredded jackfruit or smashed chickpeas
*Sub Greek yogurt in the Tzatziki for an unsweetened, thick Greek style dairy free/ vegan yogurt
*Sub feta cheese for a vegan alternative


​I hope yall enjoy!

Poke Nachos

1/29/2022

0 Comments

The freshness. The crunch. The flavorzzzz. Yup… it’s Poke Nachos  Oh how I love them so *Put the recipe below in case ya wanna fall in love too (that is, if you’re not already )*

I posted the video of how I built these nachos on my Instagram and Pinterest : @thedailykale Follow me over there to see my video content ;) 

I must say these were 1000 % inspired by Yard House! Yes out of all places, Yard House inspired these damn poke nachos.

Unfortunately I haven’t been to Hawaii and tasted the real deal of what I can only imagine is insanely delicious and refreshing poke! Although I have tried another place here in L.A. that I’ve heard is pretty authentic and it’s also really good (Sweetfin). But again, this particular recipe I created was my try at the dish I love to order when we go to Yard House. 
​What you'll need for the nachos:

Truffle aioli 
Rice paper chips
Crispy garlic
Spicy Mayo
Cilantro
Scallions
Sesame seeds
Edamame
Purple cabbage
Avocado 
Nori

Tuna Poke:
  • 1/2 pound sushi grade ahi tuna (cubed)
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce + 1 tsp 
  • Pinch of salt 
  • 2 tbsp yellow onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp green onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 tbsp macadamia nuts (chopped)

Directions:
1. Mix all above ingredients together. 
2. Prepare wonton chips by cutting a wonton wrapper in half, diagonally. 
3. Heat up oil in a pan and place the wonton wrapper in the oil until it bubbles up, flip on the other side and cook a few seconds until it is a light golden brown. 
4. Top your wonton chips with the poke. Then add on all the rest of the goodness: edamame, cabbage, avocado, truffle aioli, teriyaki sauce, spicy mayo, chopped seaweed, crispy garlic and jalapeños.

Picture


Truffle Aioli:
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Mayo
  • 1 garlic clove (finely minced or pressed)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp truffle oil 
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste) 

Directions:
  1. Stir everything together until smooth and creamy. Add a little water to thin it out if needed. ​
Picture

​Spicy Mayo:
  • 1/4 cup mayo 
  • 1.5 tbsp tamari
  • 1.5-2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1.5 tsp golden monkfruit (or any type of granulated sugar)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil 

Directions:
​Stir everything together until creamy and smooth.

Crispy Garlic:(aka my favorite part)
(This makes a small amount needed for topping this, but by all means make a larger amount so you can store it and add to other things!)

Ingredients:
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp avocado oil

Directions:
In a small sauce pan heat the oil on medium and then add the garlic and cook until crispy (light golden color). Be careful not to burn. You want it to get a nice golden color. It’s so goooooood. Add to everythannnnnng! ​
Teriyaki Glaze:
  • 4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp golden monk fruit (or coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp tapioca flour or cornstarch 

Instructions:
*Stir everything together in a small bowl.
Place in a sauce pan on low heat until it gels up. (About 30 sec) This will take a very small amount of time, don’t over cook or it will get very sticky.

Assembling the nachos:
Remember, The amounts of certain ingredients are completely up to you. I added a little tuna on each wonton chip. Then added edamame, cabbage, avocado, spicy mayo, teriyaki glaze, truffle aioli, cilantro, scallions, nori, sesame seeds and the crispy garlic.


*Notes*
​If you won’t be eating these immediately I highly recommend not plating these a head of time because the wontons will become soft with wet ingredients on it for too long. So  if you were serving these at a party for example, serve it in a guacamole style/ deconstructed nachos way. Have the chips alone in a bowl and all of the other ingredients separate. Ummm DIY Poke Nacho Party anyone ?! Sounds fun to me ! 



ENJOY Y’ALL! tag me on Instagram @thedailykale if you make it !!

Garlic Parmesan Tofu (Gluten Free, Vegan Friendly)

I've said it many times. but dang it Tofu, I love you!

A genuine joy of mine is converting tofu non believers- into tofu believers.
Y'all. Tofu tastes good, you just gotta take your time with it and care for it just the same you would with meat! Plain boiled chicken isn't great. Just like plain tofu isn't awesome (to me anyway). Treat your tofu with love and it'll love ya back ;) promise.

So this wrap is something I've been making for yearssssss. It was something I used to make for friends when they came over cause again, wanted to make them tofu believers, duh!
I'd say it worked out well ;)

Also, y'all. I have never pressed my tofu. It's just not necessary to me. I'm not trying to eat crouton tofu, this is tofu. SO yes, it's crispy on the outside and somewhat tender on the inside. So don't come at me about pressing the tofu- that's never been something I've done so don't go thinking you have to do that, ya definitely don't!

Definitely give this a try and tag me on instagram: @thedailykale if ya do! Love seeing your re-creations.

Pumpkin Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookies (Vegan + Gluten Free)

11/7/2021

 Happy Sunday friends! Wanted to share these with y’all today - hopefully you’re not completely over pumpkin recipes just yet, cause I honestly won’t be stopping with the pumpkin recipes anytime soon. Call me crazy, but I love pumpkin year round any who: I hope y’all enjoy these!


Pumpkin Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Dough:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin
  • Pinch of pumpkin spice
  • Pinch of salt

Pecan filling:
  • 1/4-1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 1.5 tbsp granulated sugar or monk fruit
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin spice
​​

​Directions:
  1. For the dough, stir all wet ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl stir all dry ingredients together. Then combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until you have a dough.
  3. Place in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes to firm up so it’s easier to handle.
  4.  Form the dough into a ball.
  5. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and flatten out with your hands or a rolling pin.
  6. Form in the shape of a rectangle. Cut off pieces and add it to another part in order to make this shape, if you need.
  7.  In a bowl stir together the pecan mixture, until it comes together and is sticky. Place the pecan mixture in the center of the rectangle and spread it out, going down the rectangle. But not touching the sides.
  8.  Starting from the end roll the dough, like a cinnamon roll. Cut in slices. You can do as many as you prefer, the more slices the smaller they will be. I wanted a bigger cookie so I sliced it in 2. *If you’d like more definitely double up this recipe! * then press it down with your hands to expand it.
  9.  Bake for 15-17 minutes. Let cool before drizzling on the icing. Add an extra pecan on top if you’d like!
​
Icing:
  • 6 tbsp powdered sugar (I used monkfruit)
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
​
  1. Stir together until desired consistency. To make thicker add more powdered sugar or to thin out add more milk.
