English Breakfast
written by Fresh Planet Flavor
Having traveled to one or two far off lands I can honestly say that the English breakfast is one of the best in the world. It certainly beats the typical American breakfast of various forms of processed, refined carbohydrates stripped of nutrients and doused with seed and vegetable oils (which will send blood sugar soaring, contribute to body fat, throw your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio out of balance, and generally…
Necessity is the mother of invention. When you have a bunch of beautiful, long-stemmed, slender asparagus waiting impatiently in your refrigerator to be the star or a lovely new recipe just as soon as you invent said recipe, well, there’s little time to waste. This week was also a rare one in which I had a surplus of eggs, after 1) buying a carton and forgetfully leaving it in the office…
This sweet potato frittata creation rose from the ashes of a recipe failure. Several days ago I came across a gorgeous recipe series titled For the Love of Pie, in particular a beautiful entry by Mimi Thorisson. Potatoes, bacon, onions and herbs… it’s all very French countryside, rustic and wholesome. I immediately began plotting a Paleo recreation to be produced in, well, my urban apartment in San Francisco. Not quite…
Sometimes I have a Grinch moment, and I think “healthy seasonal food in the winter is ugly, and boring, and difficult, and time-consuming to prepare.” But I know that’s not the truth. Many traditional favorites do rely on truckloads of sugar in various forms to liven them up (pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes loaded with marshmallows) but there’s beauty and ease and nourishment to be found in real seasonal…
The idea for this Wild Thing Texas Chili started as my answer to the “what kind of chili do you like?” question, which came up over the Christmas holiday in Texas with my family. This isn’t the chili I was raised on, because that chili is not my cuppa, and almost defies description. Okra. LOTS of mustard greens or kale. Watery, too. Needless to say I never preferred that chili as…
What happens when onions, eggs and bacon are all you have in the fridge? You invent Eggy Onion Breakfast Bread! I could’ve simply served all three separately on a plate, I suppose, but where’s the fun in that? This breakfast bread has crumbled bacon worked into the grain/nut-free dough, and is topped with caramelized onions. It’s a simple concept, but turned out much better than expected. The sweetness of the…
A bacon turmeric quiche may sound bizarre, but if you have access to fresh turmeric then this is what you should be doing with it. I love quiche because it’s dead easy… and how many other dishes can seem effortlessly appropriate at both breakfast and lunch? Enjoy this solo or with a piping hot Americano for breakfast, then serve this with a side of seasonal salad at midday and you’re…
I wouldn’t especially call this a recipe. In fact, I intended to only share it on my Instagram (my favorite social media platform by far, on which I share “flash recipes” and little flavor hacks like this one).
This Chicken Scallopini is quite non-traditional. But that never stopped me before, and this version is delicious in its own way. I’d say it tastes both rich and fresh at the same time… although you might think that those are mutually exclusive characteristics! Traditional scallopini is made with noodles, mushrooms, broth, white wine and cream. Very heavy, and not Paleo in the slightest. Mine uses the strong, salty flavors of…
I had some vague idea of calling this recipe “Elvis Panna Cotta” (named after the famous flavors of his peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich) but peanuts aren’t that exciting and the chocolate balances the taste of these beautifully. Sorry, Elvis. Banana and chocolate is such a classic combination, and bacon and chocolate is such a trendy combination, that I couldn’t resist putting them all together. It really works in panna…
Pâté makes for a nice autumnal spread, doesn’t it? Root vegetables to serve it with (instead of the usual bread), herbs, and mushrooms combine for a festive seasonal look. In addition to being pretty, pâté keeps well and wins convenience points: just slice it when you get home from work and voilà! You’ve pretty much got a chic, extremely nutrient-dense version of meatloaf.

Incorporating more vegetables into your diet sounds incredibly boring and onerous, doesn’t it? If focusing on your macronutrient ratios sounds like it’ll make eating into a chore, then give these delicious Carrots alla Carbonara a try and you’ll have eaten an entire bowl of vegetables with ease. Pasta carbonara is an Italian dish characterized by a mixture of bacon, cheese, egg and black pepper added to the pasta to make…
Yes, I’m adding my own version to the many, many egg muffin recipes already out there because this recipe works so well, yet begs for adaptation and substitution. I used mushrooms and mustard greens in this instance, but really you could replace the mustard greens with anything dark and leafy (collard greens, kale, turnip greens, spinach) and the mushrooms with any vegetables that’s comparatively firm (diced bell peppers, carrot, sweet…
