Chimichurri Pork

Recipe By: Carlsbad Cravings

Rating: None listed - but read the comments!

Served with: Roasted potatoes and salad

This is, admittedly, an involved recipe. But the chimichurri is SO good it keeps me coming back. Make the chimichurri ahead of time and let it build all those flavors. Get the potatoes in the oven, Brine the pork, Make the salad and vinaigrette. Bake or grill the pork. ENJOY!


Pot Roast

Serve with salad.

Not being one to plan ahead enough to make pot roast in the crock pot or on stovetop, I searched high and low for YEARS for an Instant Pot recipe. Unfortunately I didn’t like ANY… until a friend introduced me to this one. It’s a keeper! (If you prefer pot roast in the crock pot here’s one you can try.)

With everyone in the house sick, hubs filled in for me and made this for us this week. It was DELICIOUS.

He doubled the veggies/apples/bacon. You won’t miss a typical starch with all that goodness on your plate.


Hotdogs

Rating: 5 stars because it’s EASY PEASY!

Serve with fries/roasted potatoes and broccoli with BUTTA and sea salt!

Tip: skip the bun. They are usually filled with terrible ingredients and really just useless filler in a meal that can throw off your blood sugar. Sure, a bun can be a helpful “vehicle” to eat when out and about, but we don’t need that at home. Still top with all your favorite toppings and just use a knife/fork to scarf them up.


Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili

With some more involved recipes this week I wanted another easy one to prep.

The sour cream AND cheese in this recipe would not work great for my family. So I pivot with either dairy free sour cream or Kitehill’s unflavored almond milk yogurt. No one can tell a difference OR experiences digestive upset after the meal. So here’s your reminder that it’s ok to tweak recipes as needed for your family and health needs.

Hi, I’m Andrea.

I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist. As you might guess, food’s kind of my thing. But I’m also a busy mom on a budget, so meal planning has been a sanity-saver for me to save time and money.

I’ve been answering the question What’s For Dinner? for my own family for years now. So I figured why not answer it for others who ask the same questionevery week with frustration. And so What’s Fork Dinner? was born.
